Charlie Miller - Haircare

There’s no disputing the fact that going into a salon, will always give us our best hair days at The Amazing Blog, however, we don’t always have the time to sit in the chair and get pampered. So, finding a renowned salon brand of haircare that allowed us to ‘good hair days’ at home has to the answer. We were highly recommended (by those in the know) to try the new Charlie Miller Shampoo and Conditioner and we couldn’t wait!

After working in the hair industry for many decades, the Millers knew exactly what they wanted to achieve with their luxury haircare line. Charlie Miller, the founder of Charlie Miller Hairdressers, started his career over 50 years ago as a hairdresser and followed on by opening a chain of salons. Now, his sons Jason and Joshua Miller have sparked a second-generation evolution to the family haircare business by launching a brand of take-home hair products.

Charlie Miller Haircare was launched at the end of 2018 with hopes of providing the luxury Charlie Miller experience without having to travel into the salon. With 3 shampoos and 2 conditioners, the haircare line has something for every hair type. All of the products are formulated with jasmine extract, organic calendula flower extract and organic sage oil to help lock in moisture, soothe dry scalps and encourage new hair growth. The Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner work best when used in tandem to help hydrate, moisturise and comfort the scalp. The Hydrate Shampoo and conditioner left our hair feeling so healthy and smooth with great texture and shine! This was our favourite in the range.

The Volume Shampoo and Conditioner work together to provide extra body to limp and flat locks. Just massage into scalp, rinse out and blow-dry and style to reveal fullness from root to tip. We loved how much bounce (and no frizz!) we had after testing out the Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. Charlie Miller even has a Silver Shampoo that has hues of blue to help neutralise and remove yellow tones in highlighted or platinum hair.

Did we mention their fragrances? We loved the subtle floral fragrance with hints of lemon, green tea, and jasmine. It’s a light and uplifting scent, perfect for keeping hair fresh all day long. Each of the shampoos and conditioners are sulphate and paraben-free, so you don’t have to worry about harming your precious tresses.

A boy's secret

Girls seem to think that we boys need little more than a good cut and a daily shower in terms of haircare. But, as the only boy in the Amazing PR offices, I have had to let my girls in on a secret...that looking this ‘undone’ day in day out actually requires a LOT of work. When I leave my hair to its own devices it is wild - and not as in James Brown’s Great British Hairdresser ‘wild’ (all tousled cool and uber-styled) - I mean wild as in Tarzan ☺

I love the slightly unruly, bedhead style and need a product that can make me look like I have just rolled out of bed with effortless style (no need for anyone to know the not-insignificant amount of time I have spent on it). Two years ago my hairdresser at Llongueras in Madrid introduced me to Joico Erratic Moulding Clay and since then looking this naturally un-styled has never been so easy.

Work a small amount into dry hair to create your masterpiece. The cucumber smell means your hair will be left smelling fresh – ahem, not that we manly men even notice a thing like this...
