Nicky Clarke Diamond Shine Pro Salon Straightener Review

January 19, 2015 |

Nicky Clarke Diamond Shine Pro Salon Straightener Review

Every few years I seem to need a new pair of hair straighteners as my old ones start to show sign of age or wear and tear. My latest acquisition is the Nicky Clarke Diamond Shine Pro Salon Straightener – I am fond of Nicky Clarke hair tools and their red pair which I got […]

Lee Stafford Big Fat Pulsating Dryer Review

September 24, 2014 |

Lee Stafford Big Fat Pulsating Dryer Review

The newest addition to the Lee Stafford hairdryer family is this rather nifty looking gadget – it’s called a Big Fat Pulsating Dryer and it’s supposed to create volume and dry the hair four times faster too!  That was what piqued my interest – the idea I could dry my hair quickly whilst creating volume […]

Blow Dry Dunce Essential: Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Ionic 1200W Blow Dry Styler Review

Blow Dry Dunce Essential: Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Ionic 1200W Blow Dry Styler Review

If you’re rubbish at blow drying your hair, you’re rubbish.  That’s my conclusion.  How anyone manages to use a round brush and a hairdryer on their back of their own head I will never understand.  If you are also pants at blow drying your hair – or you just don’t have time – you SO […]

Original Sprout Natural Hair Gel and Natural Styling Balm Review and Demo

When Baby H was born he was bald and skinny…in those first months of life, he started to slowly grow hair in at the sides of his head, giving him a full on ‘old man’ look which was not at all flattering.  Then all of a sudden – BOOM. Thick, lush, dark but highlighted hair […]

Little H Had A Haircut Klaxon! Little Big Heads Children’s Hair Salon Review

Little H Had A Haircut Klaxon! Little Big Heads Children’s Hair Salon Review

So a while ago I posted about Baby H’s pretty terrible first haircutting experience – something which we had gone alone to enjoy and treasure turned into a wrestling match filled with tears and it haunted me for a long time.  Maybe that sounds melodramatic, but when your child’s first haircut makes him more upset then […]

Better than the O’s? Nicky Clarke DesiRed Rapid Heat Roller Pod System Review

Better than the O’s? Nicky Clarke DesiRed Rapid Heat Roller Pod System Review

Even though I don’t have a ton of time to style my hair these days, I am still always up for a fancy hair styling tool – and I was rather taken by Nicky Clarke’s new Roller Pod.   The roller pod is a stand alone, small unit, which heats up the roller individually. I […]

New Hair Cut Klaxon! JOES Salon Hair Experience with Diego Miranda Review

Let’s just say this last year or so, I can’t even tell you about what hair cuts I’ve had or what I’ve had done; it’s been a real blur.  Like a garden hedge, my hair has been free to grow wild.  Then a few weeks ago on a rare day trip to London, I visited […]

Products I use for my Itchy Scalp! Featuring Innisfree, Oregon, Aveda, Eucerin and Kerastase

Products I use for my Itchy Scalp! Featuring Innisfree, Oregon, Aveda, Eucerin and Kerastase

I’ve suffered from an itchy scalp on and off for the last few years.  Whilst it doesn’t sound like a devastating problem, it is nevertheless not very nice, and also quite a persistent problem that seems to carry on through other hair woes, such as post natal hair loss. At it’s worse I was constantly […]

Hair Cut Time! Am I brave enough to Bob?

Hair Cut Time! Am I brave enough to Bob?

So on Wednesday I am having a hair cut – nothing exciting about that right? And most of the time, many hair cuts are pretty regular predictable things…trim…a few layers…shall I get a fringe…nahh…. I am in talented hands this Wednesday, so this has to be the perfect time for something quite different right? I […]

Speed Review: Hair Dye Fail, Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Foam Hair Dye Review

Speed Review: Hair Dye Fail, Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Foam Hair Dye Review

I did a bit of home highlighting over the weekend, which went orangey, so I decided to go over it with a cool light brown which usually covers over it quite nicely.  I usually use John Frieda foam dye if I am doing my colour at home, and I really do love it – there’s […]

Baby’s (Traumatic) First Haidressing Experience at Antz in Your Pantz in Timperley, Manchester :(

UPDATE: 22/10/2013 Have now got much better responses from the company and hairdresser apologising for the whole debacle. I am finding the whole thing less of a horrible memory now and will just have to put it down to a unfortunate circumstances. UPDATE: 18/10/2013 I finally emailed the company to explain what happened and how […]

Kérastase Couture Styling Range Review; Forme Fatale, Spray a Porter and Touche Finale!

Kérastase Couture Styling Range Review; Forme Fatale, Spray a Porter and Touche Finale!

Kérastase’s newest hair styling range is the Couture collection, which was co-created with hairdressers, to provide products that give that salon finish at home.  I am a massive fan of Kérastase, although the products tend to be on the pricy side, but when I have used their products, I have loved them.  Now…hair styling. Contentious area […]

Yogi Hair Wand Review; The Perfect Curl?

The amount of hair curlers and general hair styling tools I have is bordering on insanity, but I still can’t help it – I love playing with electrical hair tools.   I am also not very good at using electrical hair tools, but this is a side point. Ahem. My most desired hair is loose […]

Nicky Clarke Ceramic Waving Wand Review

Nicky Clarke Ceramic Waving Wand Review

Some people make that ‘beachy waves’ look easy to achieve…I’m afraid I’m not one of those people.  It always take a lot of faff to get a result and I’ve tried all sorts of curlers – ones with a clip, no clips, thick ones, thin ones, rollers.  Sometimes they curl too much, some times not […]

Show Beauty: Worth the price tag?

Show Beauty: Worth the price tag?

My beauty cupboard (ie. the entire house) is stacked full of hair products; mainly stuff that I barely use because I am so rubbish at styling my hair, although I do try.  I am not too snobby when it comes to hair styling products, although I do like some Japanese products, as they aren’t as […]

Cow Lick Relief At Last: John Frieda Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer Review!

Sometimes a new beauty product comes along and you think BA-ZINGA! That’s the one for me!   This is what happened when I saw the new John Frieda Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer.  This product is basically a clear gel type product with a mascara wand applicator for flyaway hairs, around the roots or ends.   […]

I got my hair did! Massato London Hair Salon Review

Now that Baby H is approaching the grand old age of one, I have started to catch my breath slightly, and actually think about things like – How do I look? Am I scaring small children?  Does the postman have nightmares?  The answer was ‘possibly’ so off I went for some quick grooming.  Now – […]

Fixing a Hair-Mare; a photo story feat. Colour B4 Dye Remover, Palty Hair Dye and John Frieda!

I have now attempted to have a Ombre hair dye job THREE times at different salons and each time it has gone wrong in some shape or form (too light, too odd, why did you do that?).  Ombre – the type that celebs have which look so chic, I have decided, is some kind of […]

Holland & Barrett Treat Box Review – Wonder Oil & Black Cherry Concentrate

A while ago I was sent a taster box (treat box? tuck box?) with a selection of Holland & Barrett products to review covering health, beauty and skincare.  Holland & Barrett wasn’t somewhere I started shopping in until a few years ago (my nan and mum always did though to buy fish oil!).  Now I […]

People on my Twitter timeline went nuts yesterday with cries of WOAHHHHH as the Babyliss Pro Perfect Curl tool was revealed.  It is indeed rather imaginative and cool, certainly […]
