with silk proteins and vitamins into the mouth of the dryer so that as the warm air passes over the capsule it wafts the formula into the hair to nourish, protect and repair the hair. It’s clever and it works. Sarah was really rather amazed by the results on her thick, often straw-like mane. In an independent trial, first time users – all with different hair types - reported their hair was shinier (87%), more moisturised (83%), softer and silkier (73%) and, the big bonanza, it reduced frizz in 90%.

The capsules last for 30 minutes of continuous drying and the Nutriheat Travel Dryer, which is clinically and dermatologically tested, comes with four capsules (replacements are £4.99 for six). It has all the features you’d expect of a good drier, including two heat and speed settings and 1700 watts of drying power. It’s lightweight and folds into its own travel pouch – and of course it has a dual voltage switch for worldwide use and a European plug adaptor.

We have eight to give away – think summer holidays, sand, surf, sun! But if you just can’t wait to acquire one of these little gems, visit www.nutriheat.com for stockists (which include Boots, Argos and other major retailers in the UK), or call 08708 553 350.
