With Christmas just around the corner, there is no time for bad hair days. Pretty much from now until January our diaries are packed with everything from office do’s to glamorous parties to Christmas lunch at Nanna’s. At none of which any of us want to be seen looking anything less than, well, divine. That’s why we hail UK Celebrity Hairdresser Lee Stafford for his new Poker Straight Dry Shampoo.
We love the fact that in as little as 30 seconds with just a spray and a brush or comb through, our hair can be transformed from limp and miserable (you know the type that just hangs in dirty clumps like spaghetti and the more you fiddle with it to make it look better the worse it gets) to fresh and ready for public viewing! It takes away that dark, clumpy look and gives the hair new life – it actually looks clean again. Pretty clever actually. Probably why they sell a can of this every minute in the UK’s exclusive distributor, Boots.
The special trick in this product is corn starch, which helps to absorb oil in the hair. Let’s face it – a great outfit and perfect make-up are a complete waste if you are dragging oily or unwashed hair around with you.
Poker Straight Dry Shampoo is great for all hair types, particularly for those of us with hair prone to oiliness or I would say, fine hair like mine that is rendered limp and dirty looking if I don’t wash it everyday. Plus we are approaching Summer – the season of heat, humidity, maxed-out air conditioning, long days, less time and lots of office-to-party soirées that require super beauty tricks like this one to hide our weary body’s sins.
It’s never going to replace a good wash and blow dry at the salon, especially since it doesn’t come with a head massage, but we think keeping the handbag-friendly 50ml size with you at all times could bring you lots of Christmas cheer.
