1 Liz Earle Botanical Shine Conditioner (£8.50, Liz Earle: 01983 813913, www.lizearle.com) The doyenne of the skincare world expanded her expertise to haircare in 2010, and the world rejoiced. The yangu oils and apple and orange extracts in this rich conditioner create enviable sleekness and from first use

2 Charles Worthington Volume Booster Mousse (£5.19, Boots: 0845 609 0055, www.boots.com) A single pump of this lightweight mousse is enough to transform hair from lank to luscious. Smooth from roots to tips and blow dry upside-down for added volume and bounce.

3 L’Oreal Elnett Hairspray (£6.49, Boots: as above) There is a reason this product has been flying off the shelves for more than 40 years. The delicately fragranced mist will hold your style in place without a trace of stickiness.

“PEOPLE cannot help being influenced by their surroundings and their environment; therefore how all important it is that both of these should be healthy and cheery, for health and happiness both go hand-in-hand.”
