Great buys for hair sea rescue

BLONDE bombshells, take note. Fudge has come up with a new range of products especially for those who want to channel their inner Marilyn Monroe or Deborah Harry this season.

White blonde hair looks great, but can soon look either brassy or lifeless after a few washes, and even hair dyed a fairly unchallenging blonde colour can start to look mousy inbetween re-dyes.

Clean Blonde by Fudge (£11.95) is a shampoo that contains neutralising violet pigments to counteract yellow and brassy tones, and there’s also a treatment conditioner at £2.49, a Hothead Violet styling cream at £11.95, and a toner called A Whiter Shade of Pale to bring out brilliance.

FEKKAI Advanced Brilliant Glossing collection blends tradition with technology, using olive oil in micro-capsules to bring and even, brilliantly reflective shine from root to top.

Products in the range include Conditioner, Sheer Shine Mist and the Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Cream, which fight frizz all day long, again using the encapsulated olive oil.

The shampoo costs 20 for 236ml or £33 for 473ml, at House of Fraser stores.

HAIR maestro Sassoon says forget focusing on temperature and concentrate on what really makes a straightener great.

That is ionic technology o emit negatively charged ions to break down water molecules and lock in the natural moisture in the hair, leaving it looking shiny, smooth and ultra-glossy, while ceramic plates allow for super smooth contact

The All That Glitter is Gold version costs £59.99 from Argos.
