Stop curling your hair from the ends! đ If you want effortless, opened-out waves instead of tight, coily ringlets, consider changing your approach.
Hereâs the secret: start wrapping from the roots down to create a smooth, even wave pattern throughout the hairâkeeping the movement fluid rather than overly curly at the ends.
Whether youâre using the Dreame AirStyle Pro, the Dyson Airwrap, or any air-wrap multi-styler, air-styling tech works best when you control the tension from the top.
1. Start near the root: Wrap the mid-lengths first to build soft body where you actually want it.
2. Leave the ends relaxed: Glide down gently so the ends stay soft and opened up.
3. Cool shot to set: If your hair tends to drop quickly, lock in that smooth shape before releasing the section.
4. Rake it through: Finish with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to break up the wave.
Save this for your next hair day and let me know in the comments are you team tight curls or team loose waves? đ

LâOrĂ©al Elvive vs. KĂ©rastase Hair Serum: Is the Salon Price Worth It?
Did you know that KĂ©rastase and LâOrĂ©al Elvive hair serums are actually made by the exact same parent company?
Yet one sits under ÂŁ10 on the high street, and the other will set you back well over ÂŁ25 at the salon. So, what are you actually paying for, and is the high-end bottle really worth your money?
If youâve been following me for a while, you know Iâve spent the past few months testing affordable high-street haircare from Boots, Superdrug, Space NK, and M&S. Beyond the live tutorials, Iâve had time to really evaluate which budget formulas perform, which fall short, and how they stack up against professional salon products.
Starting today, Iâm breaking down my ultimate product comparisons, honest reviews, and top high-street vs. high-end recommendations so you can spend your money where it actually counts.
Drop a comment below: which luxury product (or high street dupe) you have seen me using that youâd like to know more about? đ

Summer hols are over (for now) and London is slowly waking up⊠our holiday in Deal was just delicious đ
Happy Sunday! In todayâs tutorial weâre getting a handle on flattering hair shapes, how to fight humidity and frizz - and finally, the best techniques to create a smooth, glossy blowout.
One of the best products to tackle humidity is dream coat. While some of my clients with finer hair have complained that it can weigh their hair down, itâs an ideal product for thick, dry and frizz prone hair types - working as a first defence against humidity pre-styling. My advice? Focus it only in the areas that you need it. This avoids weighing down lighter ends or silkier sections of the hair. In Alexâs case we focused the product along the hair line where her hair tends to curl and âpuff up.â
For styling, I tend to find my clients are either handy with a round brush, or handy with a device of their choice. Alex uses the big hair at home. A revolving round brush that creates beautiful blow dries and one of my all-time favourites.
We didnât have one to hand today, but we did focus on how to smooth out Alexâs frizz prone hairline with a small round brush and a dryer (a detailed but effective approach that really works) - and then blow drying the lengths using the airestyle, for a fast but effective result.
The final look? Beautiful! Alexâs hair already had fantastic base that just needed a little refinement, the right tools and techniques.

If you have a lot of hair that can take forever to blow dry, or style - this technique is for you.
Focus on blow drying or styling the face framing sections of the hair - and then twist dry the remaining lengths or leave them to dry naturally (especially if youâre prone to texture wave of curl in your hair.)
In Freyaâs case, we were aiming for a low maintenance cool-girl look that amped up her face framing layers.
For the full tutorial, please do like, follow and tune in next week to work with me through all of the steps that we used to achieve this look!
The attachment no one ever talks about - but they should!
If you struggle with smoothing out your hair using a round brush and a dryer, why not consider the brush attachment on your Dyson airwrap, or your Dreame device?
You can create shapes, gentle bends and movement while smoothing out those frizz-prone areas (in this case the top section) with so much ease.
The full tutorial is already up - a few posts back, so please do have a watch if this is an issue you struggle withâŠ

Has your hair suddenly changed post-menopause?
When estrogen levels drop, hair follicles can physically change shape, which can cause once-straight, silky hair to become frizzy, coarse, or unexpectedly wavy. If youâre struggling with menopausal hair changes, you donât need a drawer full of products and tools to fight it.
In this transformation, Iâm showing Helen how to manage, embrace, and enhance her beautiful natural waves with a quick, low-maintenance hair routine. Weâre ditching high heat damage and working with her new texture to restore extra hydration and effortless movement.Â
Struggling with the exact same midlife hair transition as Helen? You can shop all the hydrating, wave-defining products used in todayâs video directly on my ShopMy page linked in the bio above!

Asking for a fringe (or as Americans like to say, âbangsâ) can mean so many different things.
If this discussion resonates with you, stay tuned for Freyaâs hair transformation later on this month, where we explore short, modern face framing pieces - perfect for low maintenance and relaxed hair styles
Frizzy hair often happens closest to the roots and undersides of the hair. The best way to deal with it? Using a small round brush. It allows for better control and a tighter grip over those delicate yet frizz-prone sections.

Taming overlayered, thick hair (without the complicated styling routine) đââïž
In todayâs tutorial, Salma came in struggling with hair thatâs thick, naturally dry, and prone to frizz, made a little trickier by some top layers that were cut a bit too short.
She wanted a polished, smooth finish, and since sheâs going to need to wait for those top layers out to catch up with the rest of her hair, we needed a strategy. Most importantly? It had to be a style she could actually recreate at home!
Salma isnât confident using a traditional round brush and hair dryer together (which is something I hear often ), so we kept the technique simple:
Prep & Hydrate: We used just ONE product, One United Leave-In Conditionerâto instantly add moisture, heat protection, and smooth down frizz without weighing her thick hair down.
Wrap Dry: Using a simple vent brush, we wrap-dried the hair close to the head to quickly take down volume and flatten out those unruly top layers.
Style Effortlessly: We switched to the Airstyle Pro using the flat brush and round attachments. It gives you the control of a blow-dryer and brush in one simple toolâperfect if you struggle with classic blow-dry technique!
The result? A far sleeker, high-shine finish that controls frizz and seamlessly blends those growing-out layers. Proof that you donât need a 10-step routine or expert brush skills to get a salon-polished look every single day.
