My hair is quite short at the moment but when it was longer I always had trouble with knots. Not only did it hurt when I brushed them through but my hair would break and become thinner and thinner. My friend who is a hairdresser has just been telling me about the Tangle Teezer, she says she uses it all the time and it makes such a difference to the condition of her hair.

The brush was invented by celebrity colourist Shaun P who has 30 years experience in the hair care business and it won a competition in 2007 (Frizz Magazine’s Dream Factory Innovation of the Year).

By using this product you can apparently decrease splitting dramatically, the brush even de-tangles wet hair with little effort. If you suffer from tangled hair give it a go and let us know how you got on! The brush costs £9.99 and is available to order online at HQ Hair.

Fancy adding an extra fashion accessory to your look? Why not go for instant glam by adding a hair band but keeping your hair style simple.

There are plenty of styles in the shops to experiment with to suit the look that you are going for. Pick one with a bow on in your favourite colour or go for an over the top one with fancy twists and beads! I have found loads on the accessorize website that I have fallen in love with, but this one in particular really caught my attention.

This Gem Butterfly Alice Band is £8.00 and would really finish off an evening outfit!

I came across this gorgeous sparkly, heart shaped hair clip while I was getting some ideas for a wedding I am off to in June. It has a silver base with approximately 32 clear coloured crystals, measures approximately 55mm x 33mm and is only £5.00!!

What a bargain; this would add a bit of bling to any hairstyle or outfit, a lovely accessory for your valentine date!! Check out this site www.turquoiseweddings.co.uk for a huge range of really lovely and inexpensive fashion jewellery, hair accessories, including combs, tiaras, pins and grips etc. etc. suitable for short, medium or long hair; the choice is endless!

I found these adorable hair clips online and thought they would be the perfect hair accessories. I was really disappointed to find out that you couldn’t buy them but then I discovered instructions on how to make them! I used to make my own jewellery and hair accessories all the time so I thought this would be a really fun thing to do.

You can get the instructions from Girly Things. You will need an alligator clip which you can get from boots or any hair shop, some green, brown and red ribbon and some strong glue. The instructions are really easy to follow and there is a step by step picture guide too.

You could do the same thing with a brooch pin if you would rather make a brooch than hair clips. I found making these clips great fun and I think they would make a really thoughtful Christmas gift, so give it a go!

Now the weather has cooled right down its time to dig out those winter woollies and start wrapping up warm. If you fancy adding a few new bits and pieces to your wardrobe then why not grab one of these fabulous head accessories below. I’m personally loving the pink hat, its enough to brighten up anyone’s day! It is a sequin beret and costs just £12.99.

If you want to show off a new hair colour or style then you could opt for some ear muffs, these black fluffy ones also £12.99 have a diamanté trim headband and will certainly keep your ears from freezing over!

Last but not least is this casual open weave peaked beret, it again costs £12.99 and can pretty much be worn with any daytime outfit (probably not too good with an evening dress!). For all these accessories and more visit River Island in store or on line.

Alice bands are a cool way to accessorize your hair this winter! I personally remember wearing them when I was about 5, which is a bit strange, but if you’re a real girly girl you will love this look!

I have taken the time to search for the best Alice bands a girl can buy and if you’re a bit of a designer chick you will love this coral patent leather Alice band by Miu Miu; the colour is sooo gorgeous and just to show everyone that it is Miu Miu, their name has been embellished on the side in gold! Cute! So if you fancy splashing out, this headband can be purchased from net a porter for £55 and also comes in black, perfect to match those patent black platforms that everyone has this season!

If your on a bit more of a budget why not try Accessorize?! They have a fab collection of Alice bands, here’s one of my favourites, for £8 you just can’t go wrong!

Celebs such as Nicola from Girls Aloud use false eyelashes when performing on stage to get a glamourous look. Without looking obviously fake, which quite a few brands of false lashes often do. These are perfect for a natural finish. They are sparse lashes that will enhance and lift the eyes to create a fuller, more bodied look.

I have never been one to wear false eye lashes as i dont quite fancy the idea of glueing them to my eyelids and them looking too over the top, so that people can notice that they arent real. But i might be swayed after discovering these as they look oh so natural…! For just £4.95 from Auravita.co.uk.

Usually we associate headbands with summer but many stars are still wearing them and summer has certainly disappeared this year! This time round it’s the hippy headgear that is all the range, this tie band is a hippy print with a paisley design, using a mixture of purples, yellow and black it really does have that hippy look to it.

When choosing a band or head scarf, go for sparkly ones or bright colours. They are ideal to use as a quick fix on a bad hair day or when you are trying to grow a fringe out. You can wear head bands straight across your forehead or over your head for an instant 70’s chic look. This one is available from Accessorize for £6.

Snag free hair bobbles yeah right! Whenever I tie my hair up with a bobble and try to take it out a whole clump of hair comes with it. No matter how carefully I try to take them out, there will also be strands of hair hanging off the band. Now there is no need to look any further, I have recently purchased a pack of these Blax snag free pony tail elastics and they really do work.

They are commonly used by well known hair stylists and as described on HQ Hair ‘they virtually glide off your hair when removed’, and they really do. They come in packs of eight and are available in clear, black or brown. For only £2.65, there’s a bargain for you.

Got a posh do coming up or even your dream wedding day? Well this tiara is just one of many that really caught my eye; it’s beautiful. It is silver plated so will really sparkle when caught in the light and also has five pearls placed carefully at the front.

At just £14.95 it is a great bargain, some may think it’s a little cheap but I think it is ideal for those younger girls, your bridesmaids or your daughter’s prom; it really will finish off an outfit. The tiara is available at lady2be.com. They have around 5 or 6 different tiaras to view, all at reasonable prices.
