Haircare is the category that's most likely to let me down, beauty-wise. It tends to give me heated tools that I can't manage to operate, "moisturising" shampoos that leave my hair feeling like wire, styling foams and mists and mousses that need to be blow-dried in by...
Well, here's something I was expecting to hate but ended up loving: the Babyliss Cordless Hot Brush. I realised, through a bit of self-therapising (basically just me staring at the window for a while, pondering stuff) that the reason I took instant dislike to the...
Here's a little updated video on how I style my shoulder length hair - regular readers have seen this all before, I'm not sure much has changed. The Cloud Nine curling wand is still the tool of choice (here*) - it's just the right diameter for the curls I like to make...
This is how I style my mid length hair now that it's slightly shorter than usual - it sits just below the shoulder. Obviously I use the word style in its very loosest sense because I'm about as wieldy with heated appliances as an elephant would be with a crochet hook,...
I always feel like a right berk recommending this to people when I can't pronounce the name properly - I mean, how on earth do you say OI Oil without looking as though you're doing an extreme facial yoga move? - but recommend it I do. A lot. Because, despite trying...
I raved about this wondrous shampoo and conditioner duo just after Christmas but - as usual - it has taken some time to edit my written review. Mind you, that's not a bad thing at all, because it's given me a chance to test Olaplex 4 & 5 (sounds like a virus) to...
Here are my 2019 favourites for skincare and haircare, including the latest shampoo discovery that actually changes the entire feel of my hair and the skincare that'll make a proper difference to your beauty routine. I was going to do a bodycare version of this 2019...
Good grief I put Elnett's Extra Strength Hairspray through its paces for these photos! Short of sitting in a sauna for an hour, I can't think of anything that would test the limits of a hairspray more. Gale force winds, driving rain, what felt like sleet at one point,...
Why is it that at the start of every new year I want a brand new hair style? A totally new cut, a completely new colour - something dramatically different. I look at my hair, the hair that has been perfectly serviceable for an entire twelve months, and - for reasons...
There are very few things that make me feel instantly festive; I do love Christmas, I just don't think I love it quite as much as everyone else. I need a massive dose of nostalgia to get me going - songs crooned by Nat King Cole, films like Home Alone and It's A...
I've made the dire mistake, numerous times this year alone, of using the free shampoo and conditioner provided by whatever hotel I've happened to be staying in. Now I hate to generalise about hotel shampoos and conditioners (especially as I'm later going to present a...
The smell of Elnett hairspray is the smell of my twenties. The smell of my entire modelling career, really, wherever in the world it has taken me. Because I can't think of many photoshoots I've been at where there hasn't been a cloud of Elnett escaping through the...
