With the return of iconic actor Sherihan to Arab screens, fans were quick to notice her trademark long hair on full display. Showing off several looks in her return to film with Vodafone Egypt, the Egyptian actress’s signature long hair appeared in both a chic pulled-back ponytail, and worn loose, with her lengthy locks reaching her waist.
Famously a symbol of femininity and youth, long hair remains an evergreen trend which particularly suits Arab women and their flowing hair. While long hair can be difficult to take good care of – from knots and snags, to split and thinning ends – these products make maintaining Sherihan-style long lengths simple.
Newly launched at Sephora Middle East, Gisou harnesses the healing powers of honey to naturally smooth hair. The cult favorite hair oil is ideal as a post-wash serum, to tame flyaways and add shine after styling, or as a few extra drops of hydration to mix with conditioner.
Shorten the time spent styling long hair with a next-gen heat tool, devised for those with extra hair. The new ghd Max is designed with 70 percent larger plates, making it easier to smooth long lengths, straighten from root to tip, or create full-bodied waves. “It leaves the hair with incredible shine, and most importantly keeps the integrity of the hair, protecting its beautiful and natural shape and form,” explains stylist and ghd ambassador, Charlotte Mensah.
Keep long hair feeling fresh and light with a dedicated scalp treatment. Sunday Riley’s Clean Rinse is a once a week treatment, which whips away product build-up, dead skin flakes, excess oil, and environmental debris. Infused with glycolic and salicylic acids, niacinamide, rose clay, and witch hazel, this serum completely clarifies the scalp and hair roots. Massage on a few minutes before hitting the shower and shampoo out for instantly healthier hair.
Long hair is especially at risk from excessive hair fall, with hard, desalinated water leaving hair feeling dry and porous. The Hello Klean shower filter is easily installed onto the shower head, removing more than 90% of chlorine, chemical contaminants and water-soluble heavy metals from tap water, using calcium sulfite, activated charcoal and ceramic derma beads to purify water.
Choose a shampoo and conditioner combo that gives lengthier hair long-term protection. Grown Alchemist’s Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner duo contain hydrolyzed bao-bab protein to help repair weakened hair, supporting the hair’s protein matrix. The moisturizing formulas are rich enough to weigh down flyaways, without appearing over-styled or oily.
Treat extra long hair from the inside-out, with vitamins tailored to support healthy hair growth and maintenance. Celebrity hairstylist Myriam K’s Love Gummies are delicious daily hair vitamins which target concerns for thick, long, and coarse hair types. Vitamins A to E, plus iodine and glucosamine encourage the growth of new hair, while nourishing existing long hair.
Protect long locks with a thicker, creamier heat protectant, which hydrates during a blow-out. The Oribe Balm d’Or Heat Styling Shield halts thermal damage with heat-activated polymer technology, with maracuja oil to nourish long hair strands without weighing them down.
