Bully for You

Hari’s Bull Semen Hair Treatment

Egg yolk, vinegar, avocado, mayonnaise, olive oil, beer: just a few of the indignities your hair has endured in the name of optimal shine.

Next up: bull sperm.

It’s not a load of bullocks. A new, intense conditioning treatment at Hari’s uses organic pedigree Angus bull semen, fresh from Brooklet Farm in Cheshire. The substance’s pure protein, combined with katera, a protein-rich plant root, penetrates each shaft and deeply nourishes the hair.

After a shampoo and head massage, your locks are slathered in a thick masque and placed under a steamer. Twenty minutes later, after a rinse and blow-dry, it’s soft, shiny and unusually thick, as well as remarkably light and bouncy. The results should last for months.

Don’t worry: no animals are harmed in the process of procuring the necessary ingredients.

And, thankfully, the only head you have to give for it is your own.

Available at Hari’s, 305 Brompton Road, SW3 2DY (020 7581 5211 or harissalon.com).
