Want gorgeous, healthy, shiny hair that grows stronger every day and styles like a dream? This is what LifeSaver pre-wash treatment will give you. Perfect for every kind of hair, this professional silicone-free treatment is rich in cashmere proteins that repair and recondition hair to feel its natural beautiful best. The hypoallergenic formula has no added fragrance or colour.

  • • LifeSaver will restore broken bonds, infuse your hair with moisture and protect from further decay; your hair will feel naturally replenished, supple, shiny and soft
    • Almost identical to human hair molecules, these super-fine protein amino acids drive deep into the hair shaft
    • Helps combat the effects of hot styling, sun sea and modern living to give you A-lister hair more often, more easily

  • Why it Works


    No harmful silicones clogging your pores or drying out your hair

    Common Names: Purified water, Coconut And Vegetable Extracts, Cashmere Protein Amino Acids, Preservative, Vegetable Oil Emollients, Glycerin, Wheat Protein Extract, Plant Extracts, Nature Identical or Mountain Ash Berry Extract

  • Is 3’’’More Inches LifeSaver sulphate free?

    Yes LifeSaver is sulphate free. Within our Shampoo range the Moisturising Shampoo is also sulphate free. Here is some more information about the delicate sulphates we use within our other shampoos https://www.vanclarke.com/blogs/news/sulphate-free

     

    Can it really give you 3 more inches? 

    Hair will grow out from the root at a consistent half inch a month across all ages and ethnicities. The problem is the disintegration and breaking of that hair at towards the ends that often makes people believe their hair isn’t growing. Our product system of 3’’’More Inches LifeSaver followed by the Cashmere Protein Shampoo and Conditioner will keep hair healthy and strong so you feel the true benefit of your naturally best hair.  

     

    Is 3’’’More Inches good for coloured hair? 

    Yes absolutely. The 3’’’More Inches Range, and in particular the LifeSaver Treatment is excellent for coloured hair as it helps extends your colour and style by keeping the structure of the hair together. Combined with the UV Protective Shampoo and Conditioner it will retain vibrancy and extend the life between colour appointments. 

     

    Will it make my hair grow quicker?

    The speed at which your hair grows out of your head cannot be increased by any product. This varies according to diet, age, and health.  However the speed of deterioration to your hair once it has left the hair shaft can indeed be altered significantly with the right products. Our silicone free products allow your hair to stay healthy and strong from root to tip. They prevent the deterioration of the hair towards the ends which will allow you to grow your hair longer if that is what you are looking to achieve. Your hair will be shinier and easier to manage as it will stay hydrated and healthier.

     

    What is so bad about silicone?

    The majority of other hair ranges are heavily loaded with silicones which coat the hair and give you a glossy nice feel, but they’re actually causing further damage to the hair. It can take 8-10 washes to actually clear the silicone deposits from your hair. These blogs are useful

    For an overnight treatment, Michael Van Clarke’s 3’’’More Inches LifeSaver Pre-wash is fantastic.

    LifeSaver Pre-wash Hair Treatment by 3'''More Inches minimises colour fade.

    The Independent

    With regular use, you can expect thicker, smoother hair with more swing and shine. We tested it for just a few weeks and found it definitely started to deliver results. It contains high concentration cashmere proteins which will repair broken bonds in the hair shaft, thus reducing thinning and breakage.

    The only product that keeps the ends of my hair in great condition! The lifesaver treatment is a game changer as time is never on my side. I can leave it on overnight, or apply before I leave home when I know I’m going to be washing my hair later in the day (before a run in the morning, grocery shopping, or a visit at the salon). This is a treatment that everyone should have in their bathroom, not just if you have hair issues, but for a healthy lifetime of healthy hair.”
