Today’s Beauty Treat: hair shine!

Unfortunately, I had to experience a cold shower this morning, but it seems there's a silver lining to this cloud... it's had a remarkable effect on my hair! I've got volume that no product has given me in the past – more of a natural fluff (not what everyone would want but with flat hair you'll take anything!). After the freezing shower, I decided to test Pureology's Shine Max serum (it's not the US's No.1 colour range for no reason). And can I just say Oh My God! My hair really did look like I'd stepped out of a salon – plumped and super-glossy. Amazing! It looks so healthy it even made me feel (a bit) better about trying to battle my way to work during the tube strike!
