Next up in my series on the not-so-trendy, not-so-new beauty products I repurchase year after year is haircare
The GHD Curve Tong is easy to use and is notable for its high performance . While there are certain products that I switch up when it comes to my hair – most notably shampoo, because my hair tends to need different things at different times – the rest remain consistent.
These are the products I repurchase time and time again. Klorane Oat Milk Dry Shampoo Non-Aerosol Powder I use dry shampoo for a variety of reasons – to perk up my hair between washes, to get rid of that slippery, freshly washed feeling post-shower, and just for giving it a general “juj”.
I’ve been loyal to Klorane Oat Milk Dry Shampoo Non-Aerosol Powder first came into my life 10 years ago, recommended by a hairdresser friend. I duly bought it, loved it and used it for a long time. Other similar products came to market over the years, many of which I tried – but none could compare to this one.
Exfoliating acids explained: What to use, how often and when to stop Roisin Kiberd: ‘Beauty is a very weighty subject ... it can be cruel and manipulative but it can also be art’ It achieves the type of root lift that can otherwise only be attained through some strategic backcombing. I spritz it into the roots of damp hair, take my hair dryer and a round brush and start blasting the hair upwards.
The effect is sensational, and it leaves no residue behind. Committed as I was to Tangle Teaser hairbrushes for many years, I have now permanently replaced them with brushes from The Belle Brush. I repurchased one recently because my teenager had taken a shine to mine and, as a result, I could never find it. So, I bought him one of his own.
The brushes are so well crafted. They don’t pull or drag on the hair; they’re gentle on the scalp, hair extension-friendly, and weigh next to nothing. There are different sizes, too. There’s the bigger, original Belle Brush , The Baby Belle , which is my favourite, and then The Palm Brush , which I always have in my handbag.
It takes up very little space and is perfect for smoothing your hair on the go. Many hair styling tools have come and gone for me over the years.
While there are still some noteworthy ones in my arsenal, including the Dyson, my preference for quick and easy day-to-day waves has always been It’s high performance, easy to use and, having owned one of the original GHD straighteners for more than 20 years, I’m not in any way surprised that it’s as durable and hard-wearing as it is. Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hair Texturising Hairspray I use texture spray every day, with the same frequency and commitment as brushing my teeth.
It’s a non-negotiable for me for adding volume and movement and a little bit of oomph to the hair. I’ve possibly tried every texture spray on the market and, while many are excellent, none has exceeded Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hair. It texturises wonderfully, while allowing your hair to retain softness and movement. It smells incredible.
The packaging is appealing. I come back to it again and again.
