Every colourist has a go-to essential, or maybe two. Following our Salon Spotlight conversation with Berni, we’re highlighting her go-to selections for the ultimate finished look.

Q: Which Van Clarke product is your personal must-have, and how do you use it?

Berni: "My all-time favourite of Michael’s products is the award-winning Eureka Blowdry Balm which I use for multiple reasons. After shampooing and conditioning my hair I use a couple of pumps before I even put a brush through my hair. I might add another pump through the lengths and ends after brushing through. My hair blowdries easier and it's protected from the heat. It also protects my locks against the elements like UV. It has so many great benefits."

EUREKA BLOWDRY BALM

An all in one heat-protecting blow-dry balm that smooths frizz while leaving hair naturally vibrant, shiny and flexible.

Most products that defrizz can leave hair heavy and lank. Most products that give body and bounce don’t deal with frizz or puffiness. This groundbreaking blowdry balm provides a powerful antioxidant for hair, protecting against heat and UV stress.

WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY DO?
• Extremely stable tannins of caesalpinia spinosa pods from the tara tree and extract of sunflower sprout, protect hair from free radical damage, and restores resilience to make rough tired hair shiny and beautiful again.
• Eureka seals cuticles to prevent thermal damage from heated tools and aggressive blowdrying.
• It repairs chemically treated and heat-damaged hair, prevents colour fading, and helps rehydration, improving elasticity and reducing flyaways.
• Lightweight properties give high shine and a natural feel.
• It has exceptional curl memory, retaining 84% curl memory after 50 extensions for moveable frizz-free waves that last longer.
