Reflections promises radiant, even and long-lasting colour by increasing the mirror-like reflections from the hair fibre.

-A bad hair day can really get you down. But why is it that on some days your hair falls into place with no effort whatsoever and on other days you wake up to hair that clearly has a mind of its own?
