Something of a momentous post, this one, because today is the day that my dry shampoo range, COLAB, launches. What dry shampoo range? I hear you cry. This is the first I've bloody heard about it! Apologies, my dearest readers, but I've been under a bit of a gagging...
If you follow my Instagram and Twitter feeds, you'll already know that last week I got to do something quite amazing and magical. After thirteen years in "the business" I'm not that easily impressed by fashion or beauty stuff (I've worn a lot of fine dresses and had...
It has suddenly occurred to me that I haven't had my hair colour done in nearly four months. Four months! I have hardly any noticeable regrowth and the colour on the lengths of my hair still looks as nice and rich as it did on the day it was tinted. (Actually, I lie:...
We need to talk about Mark Hill's Wicked Waver. Because although it looks a little...unconventional...it's actually one of the easiest hair tools I've ever used. No moving parts to tangle up your tresses, no complicated sectioning rituals; just easy, relaxed waves...
Last night I was lucky enough to attend the Brit Awards as a guest of VO5*. I had a brilliant time, as you can probably see from the photograph above! My mission at the awards was to keep an eye on the celebrity hairstyles, but I have to say that I did indulge in a...
I am officially in Hair Transit. I have left the realms of Near-Brunette-dom and am now en route to my true hair home, the Kingdom of Blonde. I don't know what possessed me to go quite so dark in the first place - I always go a little darker in the winter, but this...
I'm rather pleased with my latest video - I've mastered the art of the loose curl using my Babyliss Pro Curl! With the accompanying glowy, sunkissed skin I'll admit that it's not very Christmassy, but I am in Dubai and it's about twenty seven degrees here so it just...
Where do all my hairbands go? I have no idea! They're like pens - I must buy about 40 Bic Medium Biros every year and can I ever find one? No. I end up writing shopping lists with lipliners and signing cheques with my own blood. (Last bit was a joke, obviously. Though...
Ah. Another product purchase motivated entirely by scent. The scent in Pureology's Essential Repair Shampoo is supposed to be "Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and Rosewood" but to me it smells almost exactly like fig. I know we're not supposed to choose our shampoo (or any...
I decided on a whim (saw some pictures of Gisele on the tube, thought "I want that hair") to take my hair darker. Being an impatient soul, I wanted it darker - dark! as dark as blonde can be! - right away. But thank goodness for John (Spanton - regular readers will...
Trevor Sorbie has launched its new Salon Approved Collection. A proper "cabinet re-shuffle" with loads of new formulations and different, more up-to-date packaging. Fear not if you have firm favourites from the old Trevor Sorbie ranges - you'll still find them in the...
I don't know whether to thank Imedeen or cry. For the first four weeks that I took their Hair & Nails supplement absolutely nothing happened at all, but since then I have slowly been turning into Wolverine. Hairs have been sprouting from places previously hairless...
