Why oh why do I look so bloody moody when I'm filming videos? I had always been under the impression that I had a rather cheery face - you know, a bit wholesome and healthy, friendly, the sort of face that might break into a companionable grin at the merest hint of a...
The new-look Colab Dry Shampoo cans have launched! Teeny-tiny mermaids, tropical palm leaves and a smart new design for the Active version too - I absolutely love them. Same brilliant product inside, but the cans have been given "new clothes". As many of you know, I...
Please note that I am a founder of the Colab Dry Shampoo brand - this is not a paid post. I said I'd keep you updated with the new Colab Dry Shampoo launch and here it is: Paradise. I honestly don't know where to start with this post - I'm really...
Just a quickie, as they say in the business (I have no idea what business I'm on about but I've just had a rare but much-needed can of full fat Coke and the caffeine has gone to my head): Josh Wood's Precious Blonde shampoo and conditioner. This is the second set of...
Exciting things afoot for Colab dry shampoo. It has just been voted the very best in its category by Stylist magazine - the dust-free formula and beautiful range of scents completely won the judges over and the Colab team now have a very funky perspex trophy to...
I'm always on the hunt for hair products that can transform my dry, slightly frizzy ends into something more sleek and presentable. I do like a serum for the quick-fix appeal and instant shine that it gives (most-used is probably Toni & Guy's Tropical Elixir), but...
My failsafe summer hair-saving trick used to be to smother the lengths and ends in a deep conditioning mask before going out in the sun. Then, at the end of the day, I'd simply rinse out the conditioner and all would be silky and well. There were a number of problems...
A new, magnificent racehorse of a product joins the Colab Dry Shampoo* stable: Colab Active. I've been very excited about this one, not least because it will give me some motivation to do some exercise; a dry shampoo that has been formulated for gym bunnies, sports...
My most-requested review of the year; not from readers, but from friends and family. Which is unusual, because most of my friends and family couldn't really give two hoots about beauty things! I suppose, though, that the Supersonic hair dryer from Dyson is far more...
I've gone blonder for the summer, thanks to Nicola Clarke at John Frieda* who took me at my word when I flippantly said "I want to be loads blonder!" I had almost forgotten I'd even said it when the towel came off for my blow-dry and I saw my new, bright blonde locks....
I'm back from "South-of-France Round One": and what a brilliant trip. Chanel hot air balloons, dashing men opening doors for me and a gorgeous new No5 fragrance to tell you about, once I get a moment to write things up. I now have just twenty-four hours at home before...
I hate doing my hair. Hate it, hate it. Hence my love for dry shampoo, hence my own dry shampoo brand, hence the fact that I probably go through a can of Colab Sheer & Invisible every other week, using it to refresh between washes, de-lank my roots and add a bit...
