Founded by celebrity hairstylist Adam Reed, ARKIVE is universal hair care for everyone. This blow-dry spray protects against heat damage and is a memory builder because “it’s going to make your style last a lot longer,” Keeks explained. Plus, it smells amazing, thanks to the notes of green tomato and rhubarb. Delicious.

The name may have sent This Morning hosts Phil and Alison into giggles, but Virgin Repair here refers to your locks of hair. All Andrew Fitzsimons products contain a binding complex to strengthen your hair and improve its elasticity. “A lot of people think they need really strong protein and lots of moisture if they have damaged hair,” Keeks told viewers. “It’s quite soft, but it still contains protein and ceramides, which lock in moisture.”
The regular 4% sulphate cleanser for body and hair, £6.80 here

Cult skincare brand The Ordinary recently branched out into haircare with three new products: shampoo, conditioner and scalp serum. “A lot of people think they can’t use sulfates on their hair…but sometimes it’s heroic sulfates, as long as you don’t use anything that’s over 4%,” Keeks says.

A super nourishing, fragrance-free hair oil that can also be used on the body, this one is ideal for dry and/or frizz-prone hair. “It’s perfect to take with you on vacation!” says Keeks of his versatile credentials.
Ruka Hair Perfume, £25 here

Keeks explained that actual perfume is bad for your hair because it has such a high alcohol content, so specially formulated hair perfumes are the way to go. Ruka Hair Perfume is a “perfume and hair care hybrid”, hydrating hair with glycerin and Zambian mongongo oil while keeping it fresh. The scent also gets Keeks’ seal of approval: “It’s vanilla, musky, gorgeous.”
