About Kevin
Kevin Murphy himself is an editorial session hair stylist whose work has regularly graced the covers of Australian Vogue as well as a range of other global print publications. Trained at Vidal Sassoon in London, Kevin is at the forefront of an industry that he is deeply committed to and passionate about. From starting hair styling trends through to creating groundbreaking products that are kind to the environment as well as being kind to the hair, Kevin Murphy is recognised amongst his peers as a visionary in the creation of modern, hairdressing products and tools.
Like skincare, Kevin Murphy haircare products can be used in regimens for maximum benefit. Below, we have put together our ultimate guide to picking the right regimen and/or products for your hair type and hair concerns.
Designed for fine, fragile hair that has been colour-treated or damaged, these products are antioxidant-rich to strengthen and protect against external stressors on your hair. If your over-stressed hair needs a little salvation, the Angels are here to help. Reducing breakage and colour fade through deep treatment, this regimen also boosts volume in fine hair – a total win-win!
Kevin Murphy’s Thickening regimen is perfect for those with fine, ageing or thinning hair, or anyone who wants more volume. Created using eyelash thickening and lengthening technology, as well as a bevy of ingredients known to thicken hair while also preventing hair loss, this regimen is designed to stimulate hair growth, with the bonus of creating volume and bounce.
For soft, silky locks, look no further than the Hydrate regimen. Super nourishing and moisturising without leaving unwanted weight or residue, just luscious feeling, healthy looking hair. The Hydrate regimen is ideal for normal to dry hair, particularly dehydrated hair. It suits fine to thick hair as it is lightweight, however be conscious of using this treatment if your hair is super fine and a little on the oily side!
The Blonde regimen products work like magic to reduce brassiness in blonde hair. Almost as good as a little freshen up with bleach/colour, they tone while also providing lightweight hydration, and of course smell incredible. Suited to all hair types, anyone with blonde, grey, white, or any other hair colour that has the tendency to go brassy can use these products to enhance their colour!
The repair regimen can be used by anyone with damaged hair. Damage can occur lots of ways – from hot tools, blow-drying, bleaching, colouring, environmental factors or just good old split ends. Traditionally, protein-based reparative hair products leave a residue in the hair, causing it to become brittle and stiff, thus breaking and doing the opposite of what it’s intended to do. However, in the Repair regimen, Kevin Murphy has encapsulated a pea protein in an enzyme, which keeps the proteins in a lipid or ‘softened state’. The protein being soft allows it to fit within the damage site exactly – a little bit like a key fits inside a lock – so the end result is soft, soothed, repaired hair.
We love curls, waves and everything in between. If you have textured hair, a holy grail hair product exists within this range for you- guaranteed! From assisting with curl definition to elevating that slight wave in your hair, these products will assist you in styling (in a way that allows for natural movement) as well as treating your hair and maintaining its health. What’s not to love?
Ideal for thick, coarse, and unruly hair. The Smoothing regimen focuses on repairing the cuticle layer of the hair. This layer has a huge impact on the general health and appearance of the hair, so Kevin Murphy has utilised a new form of Keratin Protein that mimics the natural composition of the hair, ensuring a more targeted approach and creating soft, frizz-free, smooth hair. Using the entire Smoothing regimen gives you softer, smoother hair that requires less styling as a result!
If you have dry, damaged and brittle hair, look no further than the Young Again range – it’s kind of like botox for your hair! It works on repairing the older hair (for anyone with long hair, half of it will be old hair by now…) to create youthful, bouncy, healthy new hair. Part of the Rejuvenation regimen, Young Again gives your hair a nourishing boost. It leaves hair feeling silky-smooth, and it actually has bounce to it, who knew that was really a thing?!
If you struggle with oily hair, dandruff or product buildup in your hair, the Detox regimen has you covered. The washes gently remove product, wax, grease, grime build up or flakiness in a flash, leaving hair shiny, healthy and nourished. The Fresh Hair dry shampoo is the best we’ve ever used – it immediately eliminates oiliness without leaving a gross residue and smells divine!
If you blow dry or use heat on your hair on a regular basis, these products are a must-have. The Blow Dry wash and rinse allow you to get the most out of your blowout longevity wise while aiding in the protection of your hair and its health. Heated Defence is, in our humble opinion the best heat protectant out there. While weightless it does the heavy lifting protecting your hair from damaging heat!
The styling products make Kevin Murphy what it is – these are the finishing products that will help you to create the hairstyle of your dreams. Whether you want sexy, tousled messy hair, perfectly slicked back hair, to solidify and lock in place the style you’ve created, or to look like you’ve just got back from having a swim at the beach – there is a product for every hairstyle your mind can conceive!
