As a busy mom, I rarely have the time or the money to go to the hairdressers, so haircare for me has to be quick and simple. Some mornings I have to hit the ground running, so simply don't have ages to spend making my hair look good, so any product that helps me achieve a good result with minimal fuss is a bonus. My hair was platinum blonde as a child, but in the last few years it has really darkened off to the stage where it is almost brown. My friend put some "stripes" in a while back, by using a home highlight kit, and I loved the results, but as the streaks grew out, I wanted a quick and easy way to get the same look. ...  Read the complete review

Because I don't want to let my Avon representative down, I think she has began to rely on me that I buy something everytime, I sometimes buy products that I don't really need or just because they are new and to test the water.

The product can be applied to both damp or dry hair so I apply it to dry hair, normally before I go to bed and blast it with a hair dryer to activate. The product does come with an applicator but, as I want fairly specific bits of hair highlighted, I ...  Read the complete review

I'm a natural blonde but over the years my hair went darker to a non descript mousey colour. I used to have highlights every so often put in at the hairdressers but this was becoming very pricey so when I saw this new product in avon I thought I'd give it a go. It's a cream formula that comes in a non offensive looking tube and has a comb with it, so you can either have large chunky blocks of colour, or a smaller bit on the other side so you can give yourself a sunkissed look with a few strands. You can apply this to either wet or dry hair- I opted for dry hair- and you simply just comb through the strands you want coloured. I applied it whilst it was the summer(we had ..  Read the complete review
