How To Grow Out A Bob

How To Grow Out A Bob

I'm growing out my shorter hair so that it will sit just above the shoulder and am told by my hair stylist that what I am officially doing is going from a "bob" to a "lob". For the past two years I've swung between these two comically-named hair lengths and have had...

These New Haircare Discoveries are Brilliant

These New Haircare Discoveries are Brilliant

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...

The Babyliss Cordless Hot Brush: Any Good?

The Babyliss Cordless Hot Brush: Any Good?

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...

60 Second Beauty: Big Volume Hair Waves

60 Second Beauty: Big Volume Hair Waves

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...

How I Style My Mid Length Hair

How I Style My Mid Length Hair

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,...

Haircare Review: Davines OI Oil

Haircare Review: Davines OI Oil

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...

Haircare Review: Olaplex Bond Maintenance 4 & 5

Haircare Review: Olaplex Bond Maintenance 4 & 5

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...

Giveaway: The Great Big Hair No-verhaul

Giveaway: The Great Big Hair No-verhaul

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...

Elnett Starlight: Instant Hair Festivity | AD

Elnett Starlight: Instant Hair Festivity | AD

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...

Hotel Life: Satan’s Shampoo

Hotel Life: Satan’s Shampoo

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...
