Hair treatments can provide so much moisture during cold weather, and this one instantly fights frizz. “Static hair can be the most annoying thing about your winter beauty regime. The static is caused by the fibres in hats and hoods as well as hot air which makes hairs stand on end after coming in from the cold. So winter is the ideal time to add a super hydrating deep treatment to your haircare routine. The moisture in Aussie’s 3 Minute Miracle will restore strands and smooth down any static.” Explains Aussie Ambassador, Ben Cooke.
