Hair by Sam McKnight has become one of the most admired hair care and styling brands among those seeking professional results without complicating their daily routine. Behind every formula lie decades of experience on the world's most important catwalks, in fashion editorials and at iconic photo shoots.
Whether you are just discovering the brand or want to know which product best suits your hair type, this guide will help you find the ideal option.
Long before creating a line of hair products, Sam McKnight was already considered a true legend of the fashion industry.
For more than four decades he has worked with some of the world's most prestigious magazines, such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Vanity Fair, as well as collaborating with designers such as Chanel, Fendi, Balmain and Tom Ford.
One of the best-known chapters of his career was his close professional relationship with Princess Diana. For years he was her trusted hairdresser and took part in some of the most iconic image transformations of Lady Di.
His philosophy has always been the same: to create sophisticated, modern and elegant hairstyles that look natural and easy to wear. It is precisely this vision that he brought to Hair by Sam McKnight.
The brand was born with a clear goal: to offer high-performance products inspired by the backstage of the catwalks, but adapted to everyday life.
