The Star | I tried a hair serum and it (actually) changed my life

Look, I’m not exactly low-maintenance. I mask several times a week and devote a huge portion of my morning routine to curling my lashes and painting my lids with fun colours. But my hair is a whole different story. On the best of days, I’ll (try to) smooth it down with a flat iron and cross my fingers it doesn’t puff up by noon. Got to love that spring rain! Put it this way, beanies and berets are often my go-to “hair products.”

But all of that changed recently when I met this serum. Its star ingredient is cannabis sativa oil. Now I know what you’re thinking — marketing gimmick dot com — but I swear it works! It’s loaded with nourishing fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E, and gets an additional hydrating punch courtesy of rice bran, argan and moringa seed oils. The packaging is adorable and would look right at home on any well-curated vanity. But the cherry on top? It’s free of parabens and sulphates and is completely vegan.
