I have been looking for something to ‘phlumph’ up my flat hair, and the latest fun thing to land upon my testing table is TIGI’s ‘Sugar Dust’. You just sprinkle it onto your roots and then rub your fingertips in your hair, and hey presto! Massively volumised roots! It works far better than dry shampoo,…
What with the whole horrible business with Ted the Kitten, I totally forgot to tell you about a brilliant experience I had before Christmas! I got taken to Dans le Noir by the haircare brand Phyto for a dinner in the dark! Dans le Noir is a restaurant in Farringdon, London, that is completely pitch…
After the success of the Babyliss Big Hair (the best hair tool in the world) I was quite keen to try out the curling wand. I have been testing out a few wands recently (more on that in the new year) but the Babyliss is extraordinarily great value at just £25. A huge selling point!…
Yesterday I brought you Santa’s Clarisonic, today? The Angel Gabriel’s Tangle Teezer. Obviously he would need one, what with his long curly locks. They are probably always getting stuck in his harp strings! I reckon old Gabes would be quite a vain bloke – this Tangle Teezer would suit him down to the ground/up to…
I have, once again, gone darker for the winter. I do love a bright and jaunty blonde, but I’m beginning to realise that a) it’s not great for work, as I get roots after approximately three seconds, and b) it doesn’t quite suit my colouring as much as an ashier, darker shade. In other words,…
Sorry for the rather uninspiring image – I’m not sure there’s a good way to pretty-up curling tongs, is there? I like these ones from the new John Frieda range, though – the barrel is just the right size to create loose curls (as the name suggests!). I do find that you have to hold…
I think that this may be the most effective anti-dandruff shampoo I have tried to date. (I don’t mean that I tried to date it, these shampoos are notoriously difficult when it comes to dating. Completely emotionally retarded. Cold.) No, this shampoo is possibly the best I have tried so far when it comes to…
One for those of you who prefer hair products without silicone (I know there are a few of you out there!), an alternative to the usual serum. It’s actually quite different to what I usually consider a hair serum to be (something to smooth onto dry hair as a finishing, smoothing shine), because you massage…
Philip Kingsley is like the Don of Hair. I remember when I was first modelling – so going back ten years now – and I had a horribly itchy scalp. I thought that it was ‘dandruff’ (always the reason wheeled out for any scalp problems!) but it was more likely a reaction to all of…
I’ve been using this on my itchy, flaky scalp for a few weeks now and have felt a pleasant difference. It’s possibly the only conditioner that I’ve ever been able to use all over my scalp and hair – most would be far too greasy. It has a strange minty, burny sensation that I have…
You may or may not know about my Rose Obsession. It has been going on for quite a number of years – although I think I may well “out-rose” myself soon, the amount of rose-scented product that I have scrubbed, bathed and slathered myself in recently. You’d be surprised at just how many different version…
Klorane have a new addition to their range; a dry shampoo that actually helps to regulate sebum production! This is great news for anyone (like me!) who suffers from oily roots but normal/dry lengths. Using a dry shampoo eliminates those unnecessary hair-washes that you only do because the roots feel a bit dirty – it…
I’m clearing out the bathroom at the moment, ready for its demolition. Everything is going – walls, tiles, floor, bath, toilet, sink, radiator – and being replaced with a spanking new Villeroy & Boch dream room. I literally cannot wait – I may have to find a way of writing from the bath, seeing as…
