TRESemmé — 10 Essential Hair Hacks

Writing editorial content that sells without feeling like a sales pitch.

IDEA
Turn everyday haircare tips into editorial content that feels useful, elevated, and on-brand.

INSIGHT
Haircare consumers are savvy. They can spot a product push disguised as advice — and they'll click away. The opportunity for TRESemmé wasn't to shout about product features; it was to be genuinely useful first, and let the products earn their place in the story.

CONCEPT
A listicle-format editorial article — 10 Essential Hair Hacks to Level Up Your Locks — designed to live on TRESemmé's Canadian website and rank for high-intent haircare searches. The format needed to feel like advice from a knowledgeable friend, not a brand pushing SKUs.

EXECUTION
Wrote ten distinct tips spanning a range of haircare needs — dry shampoo for oily hair, heat protection, detangling technique, colour care, and more — each with a clear, actionable takeaway. TRESemmé products were woven in naturally where they solved a specific problem, never as the lead. Tone was kept conversational and confident throughout, with light humour to keep it from reading like a product manual. The piece also linked strategically to relevant product pages, supporting both user experience and site navigation.

MY ROLE
Wrote the full article from scratch, including structure, all ten hacks, and every product callout. Defined the tone of voice — practical, warm, slightly playful — and maintained it consistently across the piece. Made editorial decisions about which tips to include, how to sequence them for readability, and how to integrate product recommendations without disrupting the flow.

IMPACT
The article was published on TRESemmé Canada's website and sits within the brand's ongoing editorial content strategy. It demonstrates the ability to write copy that serves two masters at once: useful enough to earn the reader's trust, branded enough to drive product discovery.
