A loud squeal some time around lunch yesterday revealed that one particular member of Grazia team beauty is having a veritable nightmare with her usually pristine waist-length hair. Much to our (and more her) dismay, she held up a truly matted and crispy tress that looked like it had accidentally swung onto a hot plate and been frazzled to within an inch of its life while she cooked last night's supper – well, stranger things have happened. After making suitable sympathy noises, a speedy trip to the beauty cupboard revealed our favourite solution to practically any hair problem - hair oil.

To prevent dry, split ends, apply two pumps of oil in the palms of your hands before massaging it into the tips of your hair and blow-drying. If you're in need of a super-intensive moisture blast, then massage oil into the lengths of your hair before you shampoo. We love Kerastase Elixir Ultime – a super light oil; perfect for even those with fine hair.
