If like me you’re forever changing your hair style but don’t want to ruin your hair, these clip-in instant streaks can add a slice of colour to your locks without having to worry about damaging your roots. They are available in a wide range of different colours from caramel brown for a more subtle change to a wild copper red for a bolder appearance.

At only £2.50 each they are a bargain! Hair extension pieces can sometimes be rather pricey so if you’re not looking for a dramatic change these could be just right. I’m fed up with going out and my hair always looking the same, so I’m forever having a different cut or colour, but having a few of these put in could be just my answer. They are available from Additional Lengths who specialise in hair extensions, hair after care and even false eyelashes.

With summer finally here and summer holidays to look forward to for those lucky few, you will be needing to take extra care with those locks as we don’t want to go into winter with sun damaged, brittle hair! The best way to do this is to try and avoid UV rays getting to your hair, as it will dry it out especially if you have highlighted or bleached hair! The only way to successfully do this is to sit inside all day or to wear a hat (I advise the latter!)

This season’s trendy cowboy hat makes it easy to protect your hair and look cool at the same time! Lets face it they do look the part on the beach and what’s better they keep your hair from sizzling! The straw will also keep you cool, much better than those thick sports caps I used to wear and will guard your face from the rays! There are many shops that sell cowboy hats, however I like this one from Accessorize with a cord tie and shell detail for £20.

Looks like we are not the only ones getting bronzed this summer; Babyliss have blessed us with the Babyliss Pro230 Elegance straightner in, wait for it, bronze! It is the latest must-have accessory that you will be proud to leave on your dressing room table.

It is with no doubt the most fashionable straightner on the market with its very own metallic bronze pouch! It not only looks good but delivers high performance too! The ceramics heat up to a whopping 230 degrees and are ready to use in 30 seconds and if that doesn’t impress you how about its titanium ceramic plates combined with ionic conditioning to give you a smooth frizz-free, high shine finish every time! You can find this straightner at your nearest Boots store or online for £75.
