Having straight hair, I have, of course, always had a desire to have curly hair. I also, however, have very thick hair, and as a result my many efforts with the curling tongs have lasted approximately 30 minutes before the curls dropped out and I was left with unfortunate looking kinks.

Rollers were also a non-starter for me, as, when I put them in wet hair to dry overnight I a) nearly suffocated as I had to sleep face down to avoid squashing the rollers, b) my hair, due to it’s thickness and being rolled and twisted, often wasn’t dry by morning and c) I never had enough rollers to do all my hair.

So I’m rather excited to have found these Rageaze Twist & Curl Wraps. They only take an hour, can be done in dry hair, and there are 25 sheets in a pack, which should be more than enough for my hair. You simple roll up a section of hair in the pre-soaked tissues and tie the ends up. They’re also kinder to your hair than rollers and tongs and are cheaper too at only £4.35, available at HQ Hair.

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.

The newest addition to my hair care products is the Shockwaves Boost It - Spray, Moose, and Hair spray. I do try to have my hair looking as full and boosted as possible and I have found this latest product to be very good at doing so!

There are a lot of products in the range, the moose and the spray are both equally as good, and I just had to have both. Apply the moose from root to tip and it instantly hardens your hair making it easier to play with when blow drying. You are able to use your large rounded brush to really lift the hair and dry into place. My hair is quite long so I do struggle with the weight of my hair, this moose manages to overcome this problem and add the boost that I need.

Once finished blow drying the Boost It Hair Spray is very good at giving that extra body with the staying power your hair needs! Until I bought these products I used various things and didn’t really do much for my hair, now I have found this range I know my hair will be boosted!

You can buy these products from Superdrug.

If your hair needs a little lift then I highly recommend the Kerastase Resistance Volumactive Expansion Spray. You apply from root to tip for best results and watch your hair become full and amplified! The product was originally bought for me as a birthday gift and now I don’t go away without it.

My hair is naturally quite flat and lifeless so this is exactly what it needs, I have tried other similar volumizing products such as the Sun Silk range but the Kerastase definitely works best for me. My hair is always left looking soft and shiny - just as it should!

This fab product is available at HQ Hair for just £13.35

I’m a big fan on Tigi haircare especially the Bed Head products so I was thrilled to see that a new collection had been added to the Bed Head range. Superstar consists of several luxurious products including Thermal blow-dry lotion, Volumizing Hairspray, Volumizing Leave in Conditioner, Superstar shampoo and conditioner and Queen For A Day.

All the bottles are pink and purple - the ultimate girly collection and all reasonably priced (most under £10 per bottle). I must have made my way through the whole Bed Head collection so I am very pleased they have launched these fab new products!

The products would make ideal gifts for friends and are all available at HQ Hair to buy now.

For those who enjoy curling their hair but don’t like using straightening irons to do so, and want to add a girly gadget to their collection this is an amazing buy! The Babyliss Pro Conical Wand allows you to be creative with your hair and make classic curls, twists and flicks. It is easy to use; just wrap your hair around the wand and hold. There are 25 different heat settings in case you like me, you are wary not to damage your hair too much.

It comes in two colours black and pink. I have it in pink and I love it, it is available in one size only, medium with the barrel variation diameter from 25mm-13mm. Is it also available in black and this does come in two different sizes medium like the pink and large with the diameter as 32mm – 19mm. Currently only £19.95 from HairScissors.co.uk it’s a bargain as well!

If you are a little unimpressed with your hair at the moment and feel it needs some umph, there are plenty of new products in the shops to boost your hair and bring back a bit of life to it! There is a great range by TIGI called S Factor which has all sorts of new products including booster sprays, hairspray and silky smooth serums.

I was looking for something that could give my hair a little more volume; the Body Booster Plumping Spray does just that. I even give a quick spritz to dry hair it refreshes and heightens hair, being handbag size a great idea if you’re on the move and need to boost your look!

My trusted straighteners that I have had since I first realised that frizzy hair was not cool have finally given up on my this week. However its actually been a blessing in disguise because my replacement straighteners have halved the time it takes me to do my hair when I get out of the shower. I’ve bought a pair of Remington ‘wet2straight’ straighteners. This fantastic time saving device allows you to straighten your hair from wet so where I would normally spend half an hour wrestling with a blow dryer to get my hair dry and in a condition ready to straighten, now I do not need to bother.

The wet to straight straighteners have holes along one side of the ceramic plates so steam is directed safely away from your face as the hair dries. They can reach 230 degrees so are hot enough to give you a perfect result and they work just as well on dry hair. There are wide and slim varieties available. I bought the wide ones because my hair is quite long but they are useless for straightening my fringe so if you have short hair or a fringe I recommend the narrow style. These straightens are less pricey than Ghds and a must have if you have lots of hair to manage and not much time. At Boots there is currently a 1/3 off so a pair will only set you back 39.98.

I imagine the majority of ladies will be praying to get their hands on GHD’s fabulous new gift set marketed as the Christmas Giftbox. The gold packaging alone is enough to make most of us drool! This fab new package contains the GHD IV Styler, a cute GHD Metallic Clutch Bag (heat resistant of course), GHD Metallic Purse for your make-up essentials, a GHD mirror, GHD Thermo Protector mini version and a Thermodynamics Creation Spray also mini.

I know its highly unlikely considering the discussion points of this blog but if there are any male readers looking for something for their girlfriends this Christmas, look no further… this is the ultimate must have, in my books anyway!

The gift set costs £149 and can be bought from HQ Hair, more information available on GHD’s official website.

Well what can I say, is there any marketing pie Jordan doesn’t want to get her finger in to?? She’s done it all, jewellery, accessories and now hair care!

I personally think the new range looks as tacky as I would expect anything sold by her too look like, but I haven’t tried and tested for quality purposes, so if you are a fan of hers - which I’m clearly not, then give her the benefit of the doubt and try these new products.

They might work well, I can’t imagine they’re going to the job that top salon products do, but it may be worth giving them ago for the price alone.

Superdrug is currently stocking the range and the have curling tongs for £12.99, a hairdryer with attachments for £19.99 and a sleek pair of straightners for £19.99. It appears from the Superdrug website that the hairdryer is currently out of stock so someone out there must be loving it!! You can check out each product in the range either on line or pop down to your nearest Superdrug to see for yourself.
