Personally I think these vintage style combs are great. Vintage clothes are hugely popular at the moment, so why not extend it to accessories? Buying a vintage inspired hair clip means that you can wear the vintage look without worrying about catching someone else’s head lice! This Pansy Vine Comb captures the vintage brooch look with it’s stone embellished flowers and bronze effect. It can be worn on any length of hair – add it to the top of a pony tail for a nice detail, or sweep up a bit of hair and the side or back with the comb. You can also get it in a silver finish it you want to add some extra sparkle and bling to your hair.

A good smoothing serum is essential – it’ll take care of any fly away, frizzy hair and help perfect that perfect ponytail. If you want to go the whole hog and straighten your ponytail as a finishing touch a smoothing serum will also help to keep it smooth and sleek all day.

The organic beeswax helps to moisturise and condition hair and to keep in moisture. And of course the beekeepers get a fair share of the profit.

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.

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.

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.
