How evo works: from scalp to ends
Beautiful hair starts with a healthy scalp and ends with protected ends. Here is how evo products work at every step and how to choose yours.
evo is an Australian professional hair care brand created by hairdressers. We work with it in the salon every day, and that is why we offer it for home too: what works in the salon chair will work in your bathroom, as long as you know how to use it. Here is how we think about hair care, step by step.
Step one: the scalp
Hair grows from the scalp, so care starts there. If the scalp is dry and itchy or, the other way round, gets oily fast, hair looks tired no matter what you put on the ends.
- Head Start exfoliator once a week clears product build-up, dry flakes and excess oil.
- Common Ground shampoo cleanses gently and hydrates the scalp so it feels balanced.
- Home Base serum stays on, soothes the scalp and helps hold in moisture.
Step two: wash for what your hair needs
Shampoo and conditioner are not one size fits all. evo groups them by what hair needs, and the right choice often changes more than any styling product.
- The Therapist for dry hair: sulfate-free gentle cleansing that hydrates, strengthens and helps keep colour.
- Ritual Salvation for coloured and damaged hair: protein repairs and reduces breakage.
- Gluttony for fine hair: gentle cleansing that builds body.
- Mane Tamer for unruly hair: smooths and reduces frizz.
Step three: a mask is a salon treatment at home
Once a week hair needs more than conditioner. The Great Hydrator deeply hydrates and reduces frizz, Mane Attention is a protein treatment for damaged and coloured hair. Five minutes on damp hair is enough for both.
A mask is not a luxury. It is the same five-minute treatment we do in the salon before styling.
Step four: protection before heat
Hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons do the most damage. Day of Grace primer goes onto damp hair, detangles and protects from heat and UV. Icon Welder on dry hair before hot tools protects and adds medium hold.
Step five: styling and shine
Once the basics are right, styling gets easy. Salty Dog gives beachy texture with a matte finish, Shape Vixen builds volume, Love Perpetua adds shine and tames frizz, and Miss Malleable hairspray holds the shape while letting you rework it.
Why evo
Most evo products are free from sulfates, parabens and gluten, vegan and in recyclable packaging, and evo does not test on animals (PETA accredited). What matters most to us is that the products are made for hairdressers, so they follow the same logic as salon work.
