Chez Vous’ new ‘liquid hair’ treatment

What do American reality television star Kim Kardashian, Albanian singer-songwriter Dua Lipa and K-pop girl group NewJeans have in common? They all have glorious “liquid hair”.

This mane trend, which went viral on TikTok for its jaw-dropping gloss and silky flow, has landed in Singapore with a splash, thanks to Chez Vous’ newest innovation, the Liquid Hair Treatment.

Unlike conventional bond-repair hair care in the market, which works on the superficial level to temporarily cover up damage, the local hair salon dives deep into follicular science, using oil-based, nano-sized ingredients to penetrate hair and reconstruct bonds at a molecular level. This is said to effectively reverse the damaging effects of chemical treatments, styling and environmental factors, reducing curl and frizz as well as boosting moisture and shine.

Choose between two options: the “Advanced” treatment ($255) makes hair more manageable while the “Supreme” treatment ($395) delivers a knockout punch to curls with its intense reduction power.

Info: The Liquid Hair Treatment is available at Chez Vous salons, including the Chez Vous Hair Salon flagship at 05-05 Ngee Ann City Podium, 391 Orchard Road; and Chez Vous: Private Space at 08-01 Ngee Ann City Tower B, 391B Orchard Road.
