YOUR ULTIMATE HOME HAIR KIT SHOULD CONTAIN AT LEAST FIVE OF THESE W&H HAIR ESSENTIALS, SAYS JO GB
A cooler CuRL
USE STRAIGHTENERS, SUCH AS THIS LIMITED EDITION BIRTHDAY ghd Original Purple Limited Edition styler, £109, TO CREATE A MORE STYLISH KINK THAN THAT BIG, BOUNCY BARREL-TONGED CURL THAT’S MORE AGEING AND MUMSY. PULL THROUGH HAIR AS USUAL, THEN TWIST OUT AT THE JAW.

WHEN YOU’VE A MASK ON YOUR FACE POP ONE ON YOUR HAIR TOO: JOICO Blonde Life Brightening Masque, £17.45, HQHAIR.COM, TRANSFORMS DULL, DRY, DREARY HAIR BY THE TIME YOU RINSE IT THROUGH.

MULTITASK = NO-HASSLE HAIR Strip back your styling regime with Shu Uemura Art of Hair Blow Dry Beautifier Thermo BB Cream, £23.10, a leave-in BB treatment that smooths, yet adds body, and heat-protects while maintaining your style.
VOLuME trick
SPRAY HAIR, SECTION BY SECTION, AT THE ROOTS USING time Bomb High Profile thicken + Lift spray, £16.50, TIMEBOMBCO.COM. THEN GENTLY LIFT HAIR UP AWAY FROM THE SCALP USING A VENT BRUSH, SUCH AS kent Radial ks45, £9.35, AND BLAST EACH SECTION WITH A HIGH HEAT BUT LOW SPEED FOR BETTER CONTROL. DONE.
EASY STYLING
Great for frizz: double up your hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment. I’m a huge fan of Liz Earle Botanical Shine
Nourishing Hair Oil, £17.25, that’s easily absorbed, so hair feels nourished.
Apply a leave-in conditioner before bed as an overnight hair remedy. Love John Frieda Frizz Ease Flawlessly
Straight Conditioner, £3.99, any time! “The fight against frizz starts in the shower,” says Adam. Lock out moisture while your hair is wet from shampoo, but before you condition. Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm, £18, preps hair, sealing the cuticle in readiness for styling afterwards; or try Lee Stafford Arganoil® from Morocco Deep Nourishing Treatment, £14.99.
ROOT COVER
I am a devoted fan of Color Wow Root Cover Up, £28.50,
as Red matches my auburn hair perfectly; but half the price Batiste Hide Me Root Concealer, £12.99, is great too (just no red). It’s way more powdery, so use a bigger brush for better control. W&H
