Advantages: It actually works, by-gummery!

Disadvantages: People with no hair would be advised to spend their money elsewhere…other than that, none.

Are you in the habit of rubbing balloons over your head, just prior to going out and facing the world?

Well?

No. Quite. I really didn’t think many people would be raising their hands in answer to that question.

I am sure it has appeared, at times, that I do, in fact, rub balloons over my head as some kind of alternative therapy or quirky fetish. I assume this is what many people have thought went on in the privacy of my own home, as there are days when this seems the only logical answer as to why my hair is frizzing and sticking up all over the place.

Having established that I am not a balloon fetishist, it seems best to move on to recommending a hair-care product for other flyaway hair personages, or those who would just like to have better conditioned hair…

If there were a first-aid kit for hair, this leave-in healing hair conditioner would be the number one priority!

I have used countless other leave-in styling and grooming products. They tend to range from the okay to the absolutely dreadful. Charles Worthington, however, has really come up with a winner in this category.

I would liken this product to Clinique’s ‘Dramatically Different Moisturiser’ (for skincare). Obviously, this one isn’t slavered over your face, but there are a number of similarities:

- They look like, and have the texture of, runny custard
- Both products only need a teeny-weeny amount to make a huge difference
- One bottle will keep you going for absolutely ages
- Suitable for everyone to use, as both formulas are light and easily absorbed.

This really is a superstar of a conditioner – and when they say ‘intensive’ they certainly mean it! It calms those frizzes with the skill of a lion-tamer, and better yet, it doesn’t leave your hair lank and droopy.

For people with flyaway or frizzy hair, a common mistake is to slather every pro
duct under the sun all over your locks, in hopes of pacifying the little devils. Instead, you are left with greasy looking hair, weighed down and lifeless, that takes an age to wash properly to get all the gunk out again.

A few drops of the custardy stuff are all you need – it lasts all day and leaves your hair glossy, smooth and tangle-free.

If you blow-dry your hair (as I do, if I have the time), this is an especially great product to use, because even if you used a normal (rinse-out) conditioner, the very act of styling and drying your hair can make the frizzies return with a vengeance.

Once you’ve washed your hair (and I would recommend using one of the complimentary shampoos in the range, as they have quite a distinctive perfume…one can have too many smells going on, you know…) simply dollop a couple of splodges on your hand and work through your hair. If you have especially dry hair, you may want to use a little after blow-drying, too.

I can’t think of any faults with this product. It’s reasonably priced, a little goes a long way, it smells yummy (kind of summertime fresh-air-ish, if you know what I mean…) and it does live up to the promises on the back of the bottle.

If you would like to try this product, I suggest getting on down to your nearest Boots store – they currently have an offer on which means you can choose six mini travel-sized products in the range. These can usually be found on a separate display stand, called ‘Take aways’, and you get six items for six quid!

This represents great value for money, the travel sizes aren’t all that small compared to other, similar products, and it means you can try out the whole range without wasting money on full-sizes you may not like.
