New to this blog and new to the reviewers who have tried out this beautiful range. Alterna is a gorgeous, super stylish range of products that caters for all hair types and has been available since 1997 and is very much a lifestyle brand that continues to grow in popularity

Alterna transcends ordinary haircare – with healthy, sensorial rituals and clean, skincare-inspired formulas – elevating everyday moments into self-care experiences that transform the hair and delight the senses. Whether at the salon where Alterna empowers stylists to create experiential, transformational moments or while treating at home, Alterna is an essential ritual for people who value self-care and the freedom to express themselves.

We were lucky enough to be given Smoothing Anti Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner, and My Hair My Canvas ‘Any Way’ & ‘Soaring High”.

Julie has been using Smoothing Anti Frizz shampoo and conditioner, plus My hair My Canvas Soaring High and here’s what she has to say:

“I read this (below) on the Alterna website www.alternahaircare.com

80% LESS FRIZZ FOR 72 HOURS

Effortlessly control the level of humidity affecting your hair with a blend of caviar extract and nourishing oils. Luxuriously smooth and shiny strands are no longer a fantasy. Best for medium to thick hair.

This caught my attention as my naturally frizzy curls can go a bit wild sometimes so it was going to be interesting to see what ‘Smoothing’ did for me. I like the packaging, clean and simple, expensive looking. The fragrance is very nice as well, but I have been fooled by these factors before, so for me, it’s always about what the products do, and I have to say Alterna delivers the goods. The Anti Frizz shampoo is luxurious and makes my hair feel very well nourished, so much so that I could quite easily run a detangling brush through it with ease. Add the Anti Frizz conditioner and it’s taken to a different level altogether, this gorgeous conditioning product makes my hair feel very soft without feeling overloaded, and I’ve had that feeling from conditioners before, so I am delighted with the performance of the products.

So far so, good, but it’s always styling products that let me down as my hair is fine in texture and tend to lack body, and when I use volumizing products they make my curls look hard and crinkly. Soaring High is very lightweight and at first I wasn’t convinced it would do anything, but, once again I have been proven wrong. I apply it after towel drying my hair and then gently diffuse it and the finished result is lovely with tons of volume and bounce and lightweight, frizz free curls..

Emil has asked for photo’s, so I will do that when I next shampoo my hair.

Overall I am delighted, what a fabulous product range,  thanks you for letting me be the lucky reviewer”.

Emil says:

“I have been using My hair My Canvas ‘Any Way‘ texture spray as I noticed it had won a mens grooming award. Those of you who know me will be familiar with my gripes and groans about styling products not suiting my fine hair and will also know that my go to styling product is Balmain Hair Couture Styling Cream which always delivers great results. But, in the interest of getting to know new brands I have used ‘Any Way’ for the last couple of months and I have to say, I too am impressed. The product looks and smells great (as Julie pointed out) but it’s the product performance that I really like here.  A lightweight liquid that I apply to my towel dried hair and leave to air dry. Once dry I simply ruffle my hair with my hands and get a cool dry textured look the stays in shape all day, no mean feat when your hair has a tendency to blow around in the slightest breeze, even when it’s very short.

Like Julie, I will add before and after pics when I next apply Any Way”.

It’s great when you discover a new brand that has such positive feedback.
