Road Test

I’ve always had a variety of heated styling tools in my bathroom cupboard, with my current favourite a Cloud Nine hair straightener, but it surprises many people to discover that even using a simple hair dryer can cause damage to your hair. Any heat styling tool can play havoc with your locks, from breaking your hair to making the ends dry and brittle. The best way to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy is to use a heat protectant before styling, even when travelling, and this gorgeous new plant based mist from Aveda is one to check out for a lineup of good reasons. It has a calming aroma and is packed with a unique bouquet of 25 pure flower and plant essences, including certified organic lavender, orange, petitgrain and ylang ylang. It is also 97 per cent vegan and comes in a neat, environmentally friendly bottle ideal for travelling, it is free of many of the nasties which can appear in hair care formulas, and it’s cruelty free. To use this mist is simple; just shake the bottle well and spritz onto the lengths and ends of your hair before styling, avoiding the scalp. In more good news this weightless mist is suitable for all hair types, even fine or oily hair, and you will enjoy extra perks which include soft hair and detangling of longer hair. I loved using this product for a variety of reasons, from its gorgeous botanical scent to the fact that it does what it promises. It also doesn’t leave your hair feeling sticky like some heat protectants can; instead you’ll have soft, shiny hair which is beautifully protected and smells great.
