Whether you’re planning a big night out or a cosy night in, we all want to start the New Year looking
our best. This is easier said than done, with the harsh winter weather, not to mention Christmas
indulgence, playing havoc with hair and skin.
Don’t worry though – help is at hand. Mashooq’s hair and body products, based on their trademark
Mashooq Oil, are designed to nurture, condition and protect your hair and skin, restoring a healthy
glow and a sense of wellbeing.
Developed by hair consultant and former nurse, Claudette Giovanni, Mashooq Oil was originally
conceived as a conditioning treatment to minimise the damaging effects of chemical colourants,
perms and straightening solutions on hair and scalp. The carefully balanced mix of palm, olive,
coconut, wheat germ, sweet almond and sunflower oil with vitamin A has the amazing, possibly
unique, property of providing a protective film without hampering the action of the chemicals.
Claudette perfected the blend of oils herself and used it for 15 years in her London salon before
launching it onto the professional hair care market in 1984. The oil and a range of hair products
based on it, including a serum, shampoo and conditioner, is now available to the consumer market
from www.mashooqhair.com.
Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment makes an ideal pre-wash conditioning soak. Containing
omega 3, 6 and 9 and plant proteins, the oil revitalises the hair, adding gloss and bounce,
minimising static and helping to combat dandruff.
Just smoothing a few drops through towel-dried or dry hair with your fingers will provide a luxuriant
sheen and heat protection. You can also mix a little of the oil with your favourite styling product
before applying it, to add extra moisture, flexibility and gloss.
If you’re planning to colour, perm or chemically straighten your hair at home in preparation for the
New Year festivities, using Mashooq Oil will help you achieve the results you want while improving
the condition of your hair and protecting your skin from irritation.
Using the oil on clients’ hair, stylists often report that their hands become extremely soft and
rejuvenated. Inspired by this, the Mashooq team have now developed a body lotion and a luxurious
body scrub.
The Mashooq Blend Moisturising Body Lotion incorporates aloe vera, which gives it additional
soothing properties and helps it to sink into your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and nourished. And
Mashooq Blend Jojoba Beads Body Scrub combines the rich plant oil base with natural jojoba
beads, which gently polish away old skin cells to reveal more youthful, glowing skin beneath.
Mashooq products are good for the soul too!
The oils in the Mashooq blend are all sustainably sourced and 70% of the oil base is organically
grown. The coconut oil is produced by a fair trade supplier in Malaysia, which is helping areas
affected by the 2006 tsunami to recover economically. The palm oil, sourced from the same
supplier, is grown on redundant sugar plantations, so doesn’t contribute to deforestation.
The Mashooq products are all blended and packaged in the UK and have never been tested on
animals. So you can really feel good about using these fantastic products.
You can now buy all the Mashooq products online at www.amazon.co.uk, with the exception of the
body scrub, which is available exclusively at www.mashooqhair.com.
Go on, treat yourself and start 2011 feeling like new!
