Here we’ve collected some of our favourite tools and products to achieve the trends we love right now and keep your hair healthy and glossy for every new style.

PRETTY PASTELS

Who doesn’t love cult styling tools in pretty colours? Not us, we love them and absolutely need every limited-edition colour. Thank you, GHD. Even Sydney Sweeney loves the brand’s tools – her hairstylist used them to achieve her red carpet hairstyle for the 2022 Met Gala.

NEW AND IMPROVED

Dyson’s new and improved cult multi-styler launches this month. The radical makeover boasts new and re-engineered attachments that now cater to more hair types and styles. This means more personalisation in one tool, with Dyson’s signature healthy, superior styling results.

If Dyson’s tools are out of your price range, try this 7-in-1 hot air styler instead. With seven interchangeable attachments, it can dry, smooth, volumise, straighten, curl, shape, texturise and add a root lift.

A heat-styling tool that cools? Using Cool-Air Technology – the innovative outer-barrel cooling system – the split-barrel design heats, curls and cools in a single glide, for flawless, long-lasting curls and waves.

BODY BUILDER

If lack of volume is your hair’s bugbear, amp it up quickly with this new foam. Bamboo extract drenches your tresses in hydration without leaving any heavy, sticky build-up behind. Crafted without alcohol and salt, the volumising hair spray avoids drying the outer cuticle of your locks, reducing the risk of frizz and split ends.

SOOTHE THAT SCALP

If you’re after a more budget-friendly alternative to treat your dry and itchy scalp, this toner one from De Lorenzo gets our tick of approval.

Now available in a duo pack. Containing piroctone and climbazole, it removes dry dandruff and soothes an irritated scalp. Rosemary oil, menthol, salicylic acid and ginger extract work their magic to balance healthy moisture of your hair too.
