Spanish Director Oliver Laxe’s Luscious Locks Spark Hair Care Buzz
Barcelona – Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe, fresh off a successful showing at the 2026 Goya Awards, is unexpectedly finding himself at the center of a hair care conversation. The director of the acclaimed film Sirāt garnered attention not only for his film’s six wins at the prestigious awards ceremony, but also for his remarkably healthy, long dark hair.
Laxe, who accepted awards on February 28th, playfully admitted to reporters he simply uses “the shampoo and conditioner that’s in the hotel.” However, experts are suggesting his naturally good hair may be due to what he isn’t doing.
Dermocosmetics expert Ana Santamarina, founder of Santamarina Cosmetics, noted Laxe’s hair benefits from a lack of coloring, bleaching, and heat styling – all practices that can damage hair’s fiber. “His hair is this good because of everything he doesn’t do,” Santamarina stated.
Santamarina outlined four key recommendations for maintaining healthy hair: keeping the scalp clean, consistently using conditioner, detangling gently from the bottom up with an appropriate brush, and regularly trimming the ends. “Often, care isn’t about doing more, but about maintaining what already works,” she explained.
For those seeking Laxe’s glossy look on a budget, Santamarina recommends the Repair & Nutrition shampoo from Deliplus, available at Mercadona supermarkets for under 4 euros. The affordable option, boasting eight repairing agents, promises to reconstruct and nourish damaged, dry hair.
Sirāt, directed by Laxe, was a major winner at the 2026 Goya Awards, triumphing in six categories. Los domingos de Alauda Ruiz de Azúa also received significant recognition at the ceremony, held in Barcelona. The film Sirāt follows a father on a journey, as detailed on Wikipedia.
