As cooler temperatures return and life in Bahrain returns to normal(ish), we’re taking a cue from nature and getting serious about grooming again.

Enter: DESSANGE BAHRAIN.

Our partner in crime? Dessange Bahrain, of course. We start from the top down, giving the new Kérastase K Water treatment a try. Set to be a total hair game-changer and offered exclusively by salons, this treatment features ground-breaking lamellar technology designed to instantly transform the look, feel, and texture of the hair for softness and shine.
