I’m a committed Aveda girl when it comes to haircare, but when I was going away recently I had no small sizes of my usual styling products available, and decided to take along some travel-sized Bumble & bumble products instead, to see how I liked them. The products I tried were Prep and Defrizz. Packed with a multitude of vitamins, Prep is a spray in product used (as the name suggests) to prepare hair for blowdrying and styling. Sprayed onto towel-dried hair after washing, it detangles and gives hair ’slip’, making it super easy to comb through, even when I don’t use conditioner. It also leaves my hair feeling lovely and soft, which I notice even while blowdrying, and yet not so soft that my hair feels limp or doesn’t hold a style. And one of the top... Similar posts

A few months ago I was at my wits end about my hair – not alone was I trying to grow out a short cut, but the condition was shockin’. Constantly looking dull and greasy, and with my blonde gone brassy, I was spending a fortune on blow-drys and cleaning the chemists out of Batiste just to keep myself looking presentable. I’d changed shampoos umpteen times and had a shower full of Kerastase to show for it, but nothing was working. I had a suspicion it might be my water supply, but short of moving house, I had no idea what I could do to prevent it.

You lot got a chance to ask Michael Doyle your ’sleb and trend-related hair queries a while ago and the poor fella’s been slaving over  a hot laptop ever since. Did he get round to your question?

I’ve really wanted to get hair extensions for a long time now and recently heard about a technique which involves surgical tape! Have you heard of this method, and would you recommend this or a different variety of hair extensions? I have the clip-in variety but having naturally light blonde hair I cannot find a shade of blonde that correctly matches, so they always look very fake! Since Cheryl Cole first appeared on X Factor last year, big bouncy hair is all the rage. While her hair is... Similar posts

One morning I woke up. My hair was curly. It felt like it literally happened overnight - but obviously the telltale signs had been there for some time. More and more struggling with the hair dryer to get it smooth and straight. More and more hair serums being purchased, tried and discarded in disgust because they “didn’t work”. A need for more and more high quality shampoos and conditioners. Kerastase being the ONLY and I mean only brand that agreed with my hair. But the writing was on the wall. The hair was going curly. I know not why, after years of being relatively straight and well behaved it suddenly decided decided to turn itself into a nasty furze bush. It took me some time to come to terms with it - hence the self denial mentioned in the previous... Similar posts
