Hair Care Gift Guide: Salon Hair Care Gifts for Every Hair Type

Hair care makes a thoughtful festive gift: it is used every day, it feels like a treat, and professional salon products are something many people would not buy for themselves. The trick is to match the gift to the person's hair, not just pick the prettiest box.

Quick answer: Choose a hair care gift by hair type. Dry or dull hair suits a quinoa-based set; thick, frizzy or keratin-treated hair suits a keratin set; curly, fine, grey or styled hair each have their own ranges. If you are not sure of someone's hair type, a gift card or a compact starter kit is the safest choice.

Step 1: Work Out Their Hair Type

You do not need to ask directly. Think about what you have noticed:

• Do they often complain about dryness, dullness or rough ends?
• Is their hair thick and frizzy, or have they had keratin or smoothing done?
• Do they have natural curls or waves?
• Is their hair fine and flat, or are they always trying to add volume?
• Are they grey, silver or blonde?
• Do they style their hair daily with wax, gel or spray?

Their answer to any one of these points you to the right gift below.

Gift Ideas by Hair Type

For dry, dull or stressed hair: 911 Quinoa

The 911 Quinoa Holiday Shine Kit pairs the 250 ml shampoo and conditioner with a free 30 ml 911 serum. The range is made for dull, dry or lightly stressed hair, to restore moisture, shine and manageability. To make it a fuller pamper set, add the 911 Quinoa Hair Mask.

For thick, frizzy or keratin-treated hair: 700 Keratin & Kale

The 700 Keratin & Kale Holiday Shine Kit includes the 250 ml shampoo and conditioner plus a free 30 ml 700 serum. It is designed for medium, thick, coarse, very frizzy and keratin- or cysteine-treated hair, and is colour-safe. It suits anyone who has had a smoothing treatment and wants to keep it looking good.

For curls and waves: 69 Pro-Active Curly

Someone with natural curls will appreciate products made for curls. Build a set from the 69 Pro-Active curly range: the shampoo, the mask and the curl cream.

For fine or flat hair: 20 Volumizing Boost

For friends who always want more body, the 20 Volumizing Boost range includes a shampoo, mask and cream designed for fine, thin hair.

For grey, silver or blonde hair: 19 Pro Silver

Grey and blonde hair can turn yellow or brassy. The 19 Pro Silver range includes a toning shampoo, mask, serum and hair oil, and makes a considered gift for someone who has embraced their grey or keeps their blonde bright.

For people who style every day: 101 Create

Pick a styling favourite from the 101 Create range. Good gifting choices include 101 Create Glossing Spray Prime Shine for shine and flyaways, or 101 Create Extra Strong Hold Hairspray for long-lasting party styles.

When You Are Not Sure: Two Safe Gifts

The Biotop Professional Value Card

The Biotop Professional Value Card lets the person choose the products that suit their own hair. It is the simplest option when you do not know their hair type, or when they already have a Biotop routine.

A starter or travel kit

The Biotop Professional Starter Kit contains a 100 ml shampoo, a 100 ml hair mask and a 10 ml serum. It is a good introduction to professional hair care and is easy to carry while travelling. Read more in Travel Hair Care: What to Pack.

How to Make a Hair Care Gift Feel Special

• Build a routine, not a random product. A shampoo, conditioner and mask from the same range work together.
• Add a how-to note. Write the order to use them, or share a guide such as How to Build a Hair Care Routine.
• Pair with a small accessory. A wide-tooth comb, a soft microfibre towel or a silk scrunchie complements the products.
• Think about the season. Winter dryness and wedding-season styling make masks and serums especially welcome.

Gifts for Him

Men's hair care gifts work best when they are simple. A shampoo and conditioner that suit his hair, plus one styling product, is usually enough. For short styles, a texturising clay or wax from the 101 Create range is a practical choice. For thinning or fine hair, the 20 Volumizing Boost range adds body.

A gift card is the safest choice because the person picks what suits them. A starter kit is a good alternative if you want to give something physical.

A shampoo and conditioner from the same range form the base. Add a mask or serum to make it feel like a treat, and a styling product if the person styles their hair daily.

Choose colour-safe products. The 700 Keratin & Kale range is colour-safe, and the 19 Pro Silver range is designed for grey, silver and blonde hair.
