Celebrity hair colourist Daniel Galvin Jr had a dual purpose for creating the brand Dubble Trubble.  Firstly as a means of helping disadvantaged youngsters deeply affected by the riots in London in the summer of 2011. Secondly in response to the growing demand for a natural and organic children’s haircare and body range, but without the price tag.

Launched in October 2012 its free from any parabens, SLS, mineral oils or animal ingredients. Dubble Trubble is a collection of five PH balanced hair & body washes.  Detangling mist lightly scented, bursting with Aloe Vera & Cucumber extract to help nourish the hair and scalp. 2 in 1 shampoo & body wash invigorating, fresh-scented product helps nourish the hair, scalp and skin. Offered in five varieties. Watermelon, gentle on the body and hair, yet rejuvenating at the same time. Cucumber, for the most sensitive of skins it has a soothing, cooling effect. Strawberry, packed with antioxidant-rich extract, which is a gentle astringent and acts as an anti-inflammatory, and leaves the hair and body smelling sweet. Bananaberry, suitable for slightly sensitive skin it leaves delicate bodies and scalps feeling soothed. Cherrybomb, smells just like Cherry Pie giving the hair and body a delicious aroma and is a UK best seller.

The Prince’s Trust

All offer great performance results plus ethical integrity. What’s more product sales  have to date raised an incredible £50,000 for The Prince’s Trust. This helps to fund the charity’s support helpline, give one to one support mentoring to young people, fund places on enterprise courses and much more.

Said Daniel, “My salon was already running an apprenticeship scheme, but I really wanted to create a separate platform to raise both money and awareness for The Prince’s Trust. At the same time I had long been determined to create a range of children’s organic hair products having discovered the potentially harmful side effects of ingredients routinely used in existing ranges.
“I have been overwhelmed by the response to Dubble Trubble, not only in the UK but in the US and Australia. The fact that we have also raised so much money for The Prince’s Trust is the icing on the cake.”

Priced at just £3, the range is available in both Tesco and Ocado stores. www.dubbletrubble.com
