Hair Gang Staff Picks: The Products We Actually Use

Real recommendations from the people behind the brand.

At Hair Gang, we live and breathe haircare. Whether we're in customer service, marketing, logistics or behind the scenes curating what lands on our shelves, we’ve each got our ride-or-die favourites. And with access to hundreds of salon-quality products, only a select few make it into our daily routines.

From smoothing masks to heat protectants and shine boosters, here’s what the Hair Gang team actually uses—and why we love them.

Sia – Customer Service Manager

Hair type: Thick, dry, wavy
Top concern: Frizz and hydration

Sia knows Hair Gang’s entire product range back to front—and hears what works from customers every day. Her own routine is focused on restoring softness and keeping frizz in check.

• Redken All Soft Heavy Cream
  "This mask is my holy grail. It completely transforms my hair from dry to silky in one wash. I use it weekly, and it never fails."

• O&M Frizzy Logic Shine Serum
  "A couple of pumps through the ends after styling makes my hair look instantly polished, even on air-dry days."

• Juuce 1 Minute Treatment
  "Perfect for midweek revivals. It softens my hair fast when I don’t have time for a full mask."

Audrey – Customer Support

Hair type: Fine, colour-treated
Top concern: Volume and breakage prevention

Audrey prefers a low-maintenance routine that delivers visible results without weighing her hair down.

• Pureology Instant Levitation Mist
  "It gives my roots lift with zero crunch. I spray it before blow-drying or curling and it holds all day."

• Bondi Boost Heat Protect Spray
  "I style most days, and this is a non-negotiable. Lightweight, smells amazing, and protects my ends."

• Nak Replends Crème Leave-In Moisturiser
  "This has saved my hair from feeling dry after colouring. It’s rich enough to hydrate, but light enough for fine hair like mine."

Sophie – Founder

Hair type: Medium, naturally wavy
Top concern: Hair health, efficiency, multitasking

Sophie is constantly testing new products, but she’s loyal to the formulas that perform under pressure—especially when they save time and space in her routine.

• Alterna Caviar CC Cream
  "If I had to narrow it down to one product, it would be this. It protects, hydrates, smooths, and adds shine—all in one step."

• Mr Smith Luxury Masque
  "This is the kind of mask that makes you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a salon. It’s my weekly self-care essential."

• Matrix Instacure Anti-Breakage Spray
  "When my hair feels fragile or overprocessed, this is what I reach for. It strengthens without stiffness."

Delilah – Marketing Coordinator

Hair type: Long, highlighted ends
Top concern: Shine and long-lasting styling

Delilah’s hair is always event-ready—whether she’s working on a shoot or heading out after hours. Her essentials focus on keeping her colour bright and her style intact.

• MATRIX Total Results Food For Soft Oil Serum
  "This gives me that smooth, glossy finish with zero weight. I use it on damp or dry hair—it always makes a difference."

• Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo & Conditioner
  "I’ve used a lot of strengthening products, but this range actually made my hair feel thicker and healthier within weeks."

• Muvo Ultra Blonde Shampoo
  "It tones my blonde without stripping it. I only need to use it once a week to keep brassiness away."

Luca – Warehouse Manager

Hair type: Short, thick, sometimes coloured
Top concern: Convenience and low-maintenance results

Luca keeps things simple, but effective. He looks for multi-purpose products that get the job done with minimal effort.

• Redken Brews 3-in-1
  "This lives in my gym bag and at home. It’s easy, it works, and my hair never feels dry or stripped."

• Bondi Boost Thickening Spray
  "I use this when I want my hair to have more lift and grip. Makes a big difference if I’m styling for a night out."

• Mr Smith Dry Texture Spray
  "This is what I reach for when I want to add shape without looking too ‘done’. It gives just enough texture without stickiness."

These are the products we buy with our own money. They’re the ones we recommend to friends, repurchase, and panic over when they go out of stock. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, damage, fine hair or frizz, there’s something in this list for everyone.
