ALL HAIL THE HAIRSPRAY HEROES

Greasy, crunchy roots and an asphyxiating smell – the hairsprays of yesteryear left a lot to be desired. But now there’s a perfecting mist for every occasion and bad hair day – so many, in fact, that beauty addicts are adding to their scent, lipstick and nail varnish wardrobes and building their very own hairspray collections. Boosting shine is tricky if you haven’t washed for a few days, so try Valmont Beautifying Mist (£82, boutiquevalmont.com), which acts as a ‘top coat’ by adding gloss to locks and keeping colour vibrant. If your roots have taken a slump in the summer humidity, Original & Mineral Rootalicious Root Lift (£22, spacenk.com) instantly boosts volume while conditioning the lengths. If, like me, your hair tangles to the point of matting, try Paris expert J F Lazartigue’s Disentangling Instant Silk Protein Spray (£17.99, jflazartigue.co.uk), which can be used as a pre-shampoo and leave-in conditioner. Actresses Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore are already brand fans – and, watching this master spray glide my brush through my hair with ease, I’m sure you will be, too.
