The Woolworths Beauty Masterclass series continues to bring beauty lovers, industry experts, and Woolworths VIP customers together in a vibrant celebration of self-care and product education. Following successful events in Port Elizabeth and the Mall of Africa, last week’s masterclass at Menlyn Mall placed the spotlight on one of the most pressing topics in beauty—hair health.
Led by GLAMOUR South Africa’s Editor-in-Chief and Woolworths Beauty Expert Nhlanhla Sibanyoni, the session focused on demystifying common hair concerns and empowering attendees with practical, science-informed solutions. Under the theme “Hair Concerns,” guests explored effective hair care steps that address issues ranging from dryness and frizz to scalp irritation and volume loss.
Here are the top 10 expert-backed hair care tips shared during the Menlyn Mall masterclass:
Scalp Health Is Foundational
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Understand whether your scalp is dry or oily and choose the right treatment accordingly to encourage growth and reduce irritation.
Recognise and Treat Dry Scalp
Environmental changes, harsh hair products, and poor diet can all contribute to a dry scalp. Use hydrating oils, gentle shampoos, and exfoliating treatments to rebalance and nourish.
Oily Scalp ≠ Oily Hair
Many confuse oily hair with an oily scalp. Clarifying shampoos and scalp-specific treatments help control oil production without over-drying the strands.
Natural Remedies for Dandruff
Tea tree oil and calming scalp products can alleviate flaking and itchiness without triggering further inflammation.
Be Ingredient-Savvy
When shopping for hair care, look for nourishing, targeted ingredients like aloe vera, argan oil, and keratin. These support specific needs like moisture, repair, and strength.
Repair Damaged Hair
Use protein treatments and deep conditioners to restore elasticity and shine to hair weakened by heat styling, coloring, or harsh weather.
Volumizing Techniques
To boost body and bounce, incorporate root-lifting blow-dry techniques and opt for lightweight styling products that won’t weigh down the hair.
Smart Styling for All Hair Types
Choose the right heat tools and styling aids designed for your hair texture—whether curly, wavy, or straight—to avoid damage and maintain manageability.
Tailored Shampoo Choices
Not all shampoos are created equal. Match your product to your hair’s condition—be it color-treated, curly, or straight—to optimize results and prevent unnecessary dryness.
Customise Your Conditioner
Whether your hair needs volume, repair, or deep hydration, using a conditioner formulated for your specific goal enhances results from root to tip.
Beauty Meets Education
Woolworths’ Beauty Masterclass series is fast becoming a go-to event for those seeking hair health advice and guidance on building an effective beauty routine. The series not only showcases Woolworths’ wide array of hair and skincare solutions, but also fosters community engagement and confidence through hands-on demonstrations and expert Q&A sessions.
Following the successful Menlyn Mall session, the masterclass continues its tour, with its next stop at Cavendish Square, followed by events at the V&A Waterfront and Canal Walk in the coming weeks.
As Woolworths continues to bring beauty education directly to its customers, these curated sessions are proving to be more than just brand activations—they’re invaluable opportunities for South Africans to take charge of their wellness journey with expert-endorsed hair care tips.
