Beauty Bible Loves... Spots & Stripes Hair Mists
What is the very best way to stop your teenage daughter (or son, come to that) from stealing your hair perfume? Why, create one to be used specifically – and safely – by teens!
So that’s what our friend Charlotte-Anne Fidler has done, with her Spots & Stripes Hair Mists: a trio of scents to impart freshness and airiness, without weighing hair down or exposing teens to a miasma of chemicals, with these being around 93-94% natural. Ideal for those ‘in-between hair wash days’, Charlotte points out. ‘It’s my solution to unwashed hair, but avoiding the whole environmental issues of dry shampoo!’, she says.
Originally formulated for Charlotte’s teenage daughter Anouk, who’d grown out of babies’ and children’s hair and body products, Spots & Stripes has grown into a one-stop shop for all things tween and teen skin, body and hair. Boys are always borne in mind, too, with many products working across all skintypes – and fresh-looking, easy-on-the-eye packaging that will brighten any bathroom shelf. All sensible, all well thought-out and all very effective. (Oh, and did we mention that the prices are really quite pocket-money-friendly, too?)\/
Plus, in this case, really gorgeously fragrant. As we’ve said, there’s a trio of scents to choose from. Flowery is (duh) the floral option, with whispers of wildflower meadows thanks to chamomile and linden, alongside conditioning ingredients common to all three products: panthenol and organic green tea, for scalp and hair health, plus an oil-balancing ingredient by the name of Saccharide Isomerate, and Australian iron bark for the shine factor.
We love Lemony, and would definitely use ourselves for a freshen-up: zesty, zingy, fresh-fresh-fresh and summery. And if we’re talking summery, we have Beachy– easy, sea-breezy, outdoorsy (and if we were pushed, probably the one boys would like best). Last but not least is
Available individually or as a set of three that we think would make a great stocking filler, maximising the chances of keeping your own hair refresher entirely to yourself.
