The Detangler

On February 9, 2012 By

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I remember my Mum buying Paul Mitchell’s The Detangler for my long, knotted hair, many moons ago. My little sister and I were instructed ‘not to touch’ the Paul Mitchell products because they were very expensive and only for grown-ups – using them felt like a real [...]

When Liz Earle launched their Botanical Shine range of hair products last year I was instantly a fan. The shampoo left my scalp and hair really clean without stripping it with harsh chemicals, so it swiftly became one of my most-used shampoos. The conditioner, on the other hand, didn’t completely rock my boat. There was [...]

My Haircare Routine

On January 25, 2012 By

This video is pretty self-explanatory, I think – it describes my hair routine from washing to the end of drying.  If you’re reading this on your daily email you may have to click through to the website to watch the video – I didn’t realise this before, so sorry for all the past posts you [...]

TIGI Sugar Dust

On January 8, 2012 By

 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, [...]

Hair Repair… Dans le Noir

On December 30, 2011 By

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 [...]

Babyliss Curling Wand

On December 14, 2011 By

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! [...]

Gabriel’s Tangle Teazer

On December 2, 2011 By

 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 [...]

Autumnal Blonde at Trevor Sorbie

On November 3, 2011 By

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 [...]

Do you remember when I had my fringe cut in New York? Just before Christmas last year? Well the KMS Campaign that I was working on is just about to launch! Tomorrow, in fact. How marvellous! Apparently you are about to see my picture all over the place, so keep your eyes peeled! KMS are [...]

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 [...]

You will have noticed that “High Five!” has become “Take Five…” which is far less gut-wrenchingly annoying. I can’t believe, to be honest, that “High Five!” (with a bloody exclamation mark!) ever slipped through the net. I mean, it’s atrocious. “Take Five…” is only marginally better but at least it doesn’t make me want to [...]

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 [...]
