Treat yourselves girls!

Revlon Pro You Texture Scrunch Curl Enhancer, £5

- By Ali Kirker

Best beauty buys and feelgood fixes to try this summer.

IS it just me, or do bad hair days become more frequent the older you get?

And yet when your crowning glory is behaving, it’s still got the power to boost your confidence, make you feel good and focus less on those bits of your appearance that you might consider a lost cause!

That’s why it’s worth spending a bit of time on your hair every morning – and keeping up to date with trends and new products.

OK, I know. Sometimes you take a photo of the hairstyle you want into your hairdresse­r, secretly hoping they’ll transform you into the model or celeb that you’re copying.

Come on, they’re not miracle workers!

But if you really want to treat yourself, it’s hard to beat a couple of hours away from it all in your favourite salon.

Gossipping with your stylist, flicking through magazines, getting coffee made for you and then emerging at the end of it all with a new do – what’s not to love?

If you’ve got curly or wavy hair, this curl enhancer from Revlon helps to make the most of what you’ve got, rather than fighting against it all the time.

And if it helps your hair look half as good as this, it’s worth spending a fiver on it just to see if it suits your hair.

If summer heat and drizzly rain causes your hair to frizz and flyaway, new Batiste Stylist Smooth It Frizz Tamer, £4.49 could become your new best friend.

Designed to be used on dry hair, just scoosh it on when those pesky flyaways start to ruin your look and it will calm everything down a bit.

If you’ve been using the same hairdryer for decades – and let’s face it, most of us use them until they just give up – then they’ve come a long way in the past few years.

You’ll find them sleeker, lighter, and designed to calm hair down, boost volume or just get the job done in half the time it used to take.

But for us, one of the ultimate beauty treats is a blow dry. You can often find temptingly-priced deals on websites like Groupon and itison.

Keep an eye on them and you can normally bag a bargain and make an appointmen­t to coincide with a big night out or event – or maybe because you’ve just decided that those annoying ads were right after all. You’re worth it!
