May 13th, 2012: Frizzy hair problems

Q With this wet weather, my hair is looking like corrugated iron, only more crinkly!  I seem to remember Sarah having a frizz problem but can’t remember her solution.

A Well, hallelujah!  We have good news for you.  Sarah’s latest discovery for her long layered wavy-prone-to-frizz hair is the totally amazing and fabulous John Frieda Salon Shape Air Styler.  This is a revelation in hair management.  It’s essentially a round styling brush, which gushes out hot air.  The trick is it uses ionic technology – please don't ask how it works, we go a bit blonde at that point.  But we can say, hand on heart, that it does.

What’s more it’s very very simple.  Never before in the history of hairdressing has there been such a boon for frizzy-tops.  Sarah now disappears to the bathroom, shampoos (Christophe Robert lait antioxidant or Phylia de M Clean), conditions the ends (much, much less than ever before, so it never ends up limp), then rough dries – more about that below – before bingo!  Deploying the wonderful John Frieda Air Styler, which costs a more than reasonable £39.95 at Boots nationwide and online at www.boots.com 

John Frieda Air Styler

Babyliss Boutique Italian AC Dryer 2400The result is lift, bounce, loose waves and hair that’s as smooth as silk, with nary a whiff of frizz.  And the whole thing – which looks as if she has just been to the salon - is done well inside an hour: whereas the world (and Sarah’s about-to-be husband) knew that washing and styling her mane meant purdah for at least two hours before.

Little story: Sarah’s friend Verity also has a frizz ‘n curl problem and Sarah, out of the goodness of her heart, lent her the Air Styler to try.  Well, to cut a rather too long story short, it disappeared to Shropshire.  Verity professed to major guilt (hmmm) and Sarah was so bereft she had to repair to the local Aveda salon in Axminster (Reflections, should you need to know – very good).

Oh, the hairdryer: another wonderful revelation is the Babyliss Boutique Italian AC Dryer 2400, which gives superfast drying and again boasts ionic conditioning. 

Johnson’s Daily Essentials Gentle Eye Make-up Removal PadsBeauty Bible Loves… Johnson’s Daily Essentials Gentle Eye Make-up Removal Pads, £3.29 for 30 pads. If you’re a bit OCD about getting off every last atom of mascara, you’ll love these too. We tried them with a certain amount of trepidation (being sensitive-eyed), but were pleasantly impressed: no stinging or redness, and it’s super-easy to sweep the remover-soaked pads over eyes and work into the lash-line to remove every last trace (even of waterproof mascara and long-wear shadows/pencils). You could say: our eyes have been opened…!
