Think about a head of lustrous, shiny, and voluminous hair, and Brazilian beauties spring to mind, and it’s been smoothing that hair for 60 years. Finally, at our fingertips, it was founded back in 1958 by what has become hairdressing royalty. A husband-and-wife team, Jacques and Janine Goossens, started a brand in São Paulo, Brazil, offering salon services and becoming the biggest salon chain in Latin America. Its home care range has put it on the global map and has not missed a beat in innovation over those six decades. Offering professional-grade formulas at affordable prices, focused on hair health, particularly fighting frizz, repairing damage and restoring shine. From daily shampoos, conditioners, masks, and treatments, it is stacked with amino acids, keratin, coconut oil, and shea butter, the very ingredients hair soaks up to look and feel its best. The hero products in our eyes are the instant hair transformers, from the Just One Min and Just One Sec range, guaranteed to give hair a DIY salon polish.
Jacques Janine Just One Magic Coat, $40
A hairspray that was created to protect hair from humidity, eliminating frizz and leaving your hair incredibly smooth and shiny. That’s due to the formula of hydrolysed wheat protein and two amino acids, arginine and alanine.
To use: A versatile hair smoother, spray it onto damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
Jacques Janine Just One Sec Hair Mist, $35
The innovative amino acid technology (the building blocks of protein that give hair strength) comes in an ultrafine mist, delivering an instant glossy finish. Consider this your finishing hair spray, giving your dry style gorgeous shine.
To use: Shake first to blend the ultrafine illuminating particles, then spritz a small amount onto the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, keeping it at least half an arm's length away from your hair.
Jacques Janine Just One Min Mask, $30
A hair mask for the time-poor. It’s a quick yet powerful hair treatment that fits into any busy routine, restoring your hair's strength and shine in just one minute. Idea for dry, frizzy, or coloured hair. Again, it’s stacked with amino acids to boost strength and shine.
To use: Shampoo your hair, and squeeze out excess water. Apply the mask, wait one minute, and rinse.
The full collection of Jacques Janine available is the hero products in the range, from Just On Min, Just One Sec, Hair Sun Protect, J18, and Damage Repair, available exclusively at Farmers.
That fights frizz, repairs damage and restores shine.
