Teams Tips
I like personalised and customised hair recommendations like I like my harmless gossip - imparted in an excited tone and accompanied by the kind of facial expressions with a Cheshire-cat-grin that suggests, in no uncertain terms, that this knowledge about this holy grail product might change your life. In my perpetually frazzled state of hair that looks like it’s always in a war-of-attrition with nature, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked down the street or glanced across on a crowded train carriage and thought to myself, “Excuse me, how with the luscious locks?” The number is too high to count. Such is my fasciation with perfectly coiled and slicked-back dos of perfect strangers, and I know I’m not alone. Hair mania is real - not to mention ubiquitous.
There is something about a hair product suggestion dispensed by word-of-mouth from a hairstylist you trust that carries more weight!
To that point, a few members of Team English, whose trustworthiness I can personally attest to, are sharing their all-time favourite hair products. Read their answers and secret tricks below:
