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!

Pamper your dry, damaged hair with this fabulous shampoo and conditioner that I found on QVC. My hair is hi-lighted and I use straighteners every day, so gets quite dry, especially on the longer bits at the front. I like QVC for beauty products as you can try them out and if you don’t like them for any reason, you can return them within 30 days and they will give you a full refund; you can’t go wrong!!

This product really caught my eye as it contains 100% pure Ojon oil from the tropical Ojon tree found in the tropical forests of Central America. Apparently, The Tawira Indians from this region have used this oil for centuries and they have been nicknamed “the people of beautiful hair”, so I thought I must give it a try!

Mixed with shea butter and sweet almond protein it hydrates your luscious locks to restore moisture and shine and I found it made my hair much more manageable and easier to de-tangle! Both shampoo and conditioner have a lovely light, nutty fragrance which lasts for ages.

It isn’t cheap at £34 plus P&P, but you only need a small amount so it will last for ages!

Do you have friends or family that are hairstylists? Or maybe you are just grateful to your own stylist for that amazing party hairstyle they did for you the other day or for all the fab hair cuts they’ve given you this year. Show them your appreciation buy getting them this quirky Christmas gift! Or maybe if you run a salon you could decorate your tree with these, they are sure to make the customers smile!

They are $14.95 each from www.forcounsel.com so are not that cheap but you only need a couple. Team them with red and white baubles to make a stylish stylists’ tree!

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!

We know that hair bands are hot at the moment but how do you wear them this party season to create a sophisticated look. Chloe Rhodes at the telegraph.co.uk visited top London hairstylist Carla Farrugia at Hari’s Salon and she showed her some glamorous party styles using an alice band a elastic hairband, curling tongs and some bobby pins. I love the bouffant half up-half down do. So often people think that the have to either have hair up or down for a party style and this style often gets neglected. The tonged curls look great and the hair at the front sweeped to the side gives you a whole new look by creating a 50s style fringe. I think this style would look fantastic with many of 40s and 50s inspired dresses that have appeared on the high street this Christmas.

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.

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.

If your hair is looking a little worse for wear after colouring and heat styling then you need to put the life back into it. I had very damaged hair and my hairdresser advised me to try Kerastase Forcintense 5 step program.

It’s a deep conditioning treatment to help reconstruct damaged hair leaving it with new found elasticity and shine. It really worked for me and left my hair in the best condition it has ever been in, and after going very blonde recently I am definitely in need of this wonder product again.

You can buy Kerastase Forcintense from Luxuryhaircare.co.uk for £19.40

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.
