Glamoriser The Most Versatile Hair Styler Yet!

I have found my ultimate hair styling tool to date in the Glamouriser. I've never seen anything like it before and after a few months of using it i am still finding different ways to use it and style my hair.
It straightens, curls, flicks, adds volume. All with the one tool. Brilliant or what?



At first glimpse it looks like a conical wand. Indeed you can use it like one if you wish.


It also opens out so it can be used as a straightener. Or you can clamp the hair into it at the roots and pull up to create volume at the roots or clamp the ends of the hair and close the tool and use as traditional tongs.

The straightener has one edge slightly wider than the other too so you can create flicks without getting that ugly ridge which i sometimes get with straighteners.

I will stress that this is a professional styling tool and it does take a bit of practise to master but once you can use it you wont look back.
I've never come across a styling tool that has all these features:

·         Unique digital display system – stays hidden then appears once the appliance is turned on
·         Variable temperature from 160-230 ºC with a special low setting of 110 ºC
·         Last temperature used memory – doesn’t have to be reset every time you use it
·         Can be used for straightening – thinnest edge can be used for straightening shorter hair
·         One edge is cornered for creating tight curls at the root
·         The other edge is rounded for creating looser curls and root lift
·         Cool tip
·         Titanium
·         Same temp on the outside at well as on the inside
·         Can be used in three different ways
o   Straighten
o   Straighten then curl – like a tong
o   Use closed – like a wand
·         Deep magenta/purple colour and black


 It also comes with a 3 finger glove which took a bit of getting use to but i got there after a few tries.




Some of the styles I've been wearing using the glamouriser:








It is pretty amazing. I am a novice when it comes to hair styling and although i did have the odd finger burn as it takes a while to get to grips with the finger glove overall i found it easy to use, So so quick and the fact that i can straighten, curl, add volume all with the one multi use tool makes it brilliant for space saving and money saving because once you have this you don't really need anything else :)

I have has lots of questions about how i style my hair lately, how i get such defined curls and volume as my hair is really fine naturally. I'm one happy bunny :)

Diva Ultima 5000 Pro !

Hello lovelies, I wanted to do a little post about my new hairdryer which i have been road testing for quite a while now.
I have to say that me and my hair have had quite a journey this last year. I have never been one to bother much with my hair. Simply because it is really fine and Ive never really been good with styling so Ive just kept it long and tied it up a lot.
But thanks to a good cut and colour, amazing styling tools and brilliant products i have started to like my hair  and am enjoying finding different ways to make the best out of what i have.

Hair just blow dried with the Diva 5000 Pro Hairdryer

I had my old hairdryer for quite a long time and to be honest wouldn't of thought about buying a new one as i didn't really think one varied much from another.


Available in Hot Pink £79.99 
Now price wise this is not cheap but taking into consideration the fact the hairdryer is a Professional appliance and the fact that it dries my hair twice as fast as my previous dryer means it is worth every penny in my opinion.

The one thing i noticed when i used this for the first time was how powerful it was. You have 4 heat settings and 2 speed settings.
Can i just add the cool setting on this actually works brilliantly which is a first in my experience and invaluable when trying to cool the hair after applying rollers etc.

2000 watts means it dries my hair quickly and so no aching arms and great when im in a rush which is pretty much all the time.
It has a really long cord and two different nozzle attachments. To be honest i have only used the larger of the two nozzles as it works perfectly for me but nice to have the option if you want it.

I find it really easy to blow dry my hair with this and i don't even need to straighten it afterwards as it leaves my hair sleek and shiny and full of volume.
I didn't realise a hairdryer could make such a difference but clearly i still have a lot to learn.

You can buy the Diva Ultima 5000 from professional salons or from http://www.sallyexpress.com

I have a whole heap of other hair related posts coming up including a brilliant multi function styling tool and products that i now can't be without. xx
