Like most people with long hair, I have a million hair ties and bobby pins that end up strewn all over the bathroom. I’ve tried organising them with jars and hooks, but it never seems to stick. I recently saw two life hacks for how to keep everything neat: a magnetic strip for bobby pins, and carabiner clips for holding …

The pastel shades are designed for blondes, but the brights are advertised to work “on brunettes” as well.

I’ve always felt that I should be better about drying my hair – I …

Back then, Head & Shoulders only came in a 2-in-1 shampoo-and-conditioner combo, and I was too naive to realise that 2-in-1 shampoo-and-conditioners were not designed for people …
Remington have released two styling products that promise to give salon quality results at budget-friendly prices: the PROluxe Salon Straightener and Dryer. I was lucky enough to try both of them. Both PROluxe products have what Remington call “PROheat technology”, which improves even heat distribution for more effective and less damaging styling.
