When Your Hair Changes, Your Routine Can Too
The World Menopause Day Edit
Sometimes it’s the little things you notice first. More frizz around the hairline. Hair that feels less soft. A favourite blow-dry that doesn’t quite give you the finish it used to.
Ahead of World Menopause Day on 18 October, we’re giving changing hair a little attention, with thoughtful care, salon experience and a simpler approach to your everyday routine.
At Jo Nova, this is a conversation close to our heart. It’s where our story began.
From the salon to your bathroom shelf
Our founder Joseph has spent more than 30 years working with hair. At Joseph’s Salon in St Margarets, he began noticing a familiar frustration among clients: hair becoming drier, rougher and harder to manage, while the products they had always relied on no longer felt quite right.
Those everyday experiences inspired Jo Nova. Drawing on his professional expertise and a family heritage rooted in natural olive oils, Joseph set out to create products that help hair feel softer, look shinier and become easier to care for as it changes.
That purpose still shapes everything we do.
A little rethink, rather than a whole new routine
If you’re noticing changes during perimenopause or menopause, it can be tempting to add more products and spend longer styling.
We prefer to start with what you want from your hair now. A smoother finish? More softness? A little extra body?
Choosing care around those needs can make your routine feel simpler and more enjoyable.
Your Jo Nova hair heroes
For softness, smoothness and shine: Sleek Hair Remedy
Our lightweight leave-in mist helps smooth frizz and wiry texture, leaving hair softer, glossier and easier to manage without a heavy finish.
Sleek has recently earned recognition at the Platinum Awards for Best Sleek Hair Product. But hearing how it fits into our customers’ everyday routines means just as much.
As Libby shared in her review:
“Sleek actually tames my brittle, menopausal frizzy hair without weighing it down.”
For a nourishing moment: Hair Restore Oil
With rosemary, argan and jojoba oils, Hair Restore Oil brings nourishing care to your scalp. A considered addition when dryness is what you’re noticing most.
"I cannot say enough good things about this oil. It has soothed and nourished my scalp to a degree I never thought possible."

For lightweight body: Revive Hair Spray Serum
Our rosemary-based spray serum helps hair look and feel fuller, with a light finish. For those days when you want a little more bounce alongside your shine.
Choose the care that suits you. You don’t need every product at every step.
Make room for a conversation
Your next salon visit is a good opportunity to talk about how your hair feels now, as well as how you want it to look.
Tell your hairdresser what has changed and what’s becoming harder to manage. A fresh look at your cut, styling approach or product choices can help you find a routine that suits you better.
Our expertise is hair care. What we can offer is practical advice, thoughtful products and the experience of working with real hair, every day.
Care that moves with you
World Menopause Day is a moment to open up the conversation. At Jo Nova, caring for changing hair is part of our everyday work.
Softness, movement, shine—and the pleasure of a good hair day. That’s what we’re here for.
