In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - James

Never work with children or animals, so the old showbiz adage goes. James would be classed as both some days, but generally he is really very cute.

Here’s a great styling tip to control hair that’s growing a little longer. It’s been very handy for our twins James and Jack.

I’m not a fan of loading products on kids’ hair but that’s really just because most products out there are highly chemical and I wouldn’t use them myself either. LifeSaver UV is mostly plant derived, natural and hypoallergenic without any added colours or fragrances. I use it on my hair, and this breakthrough styling treatment is quietly becoming one of our best-selling products.

In Lockdown One we slipped into letting the boys’ hair stay longer and more relaxed. But James’ hair has a curl and can look a bit fluffy. We wanted him to look more Hanoverian prince than feral outcast so used our amazing LifeSaver UV Leave-in Styling Treatment to control it while it grew. It gave his hair more finish and more strength too in a natural way.

Spray LifeSaver UV into the hands, apply to wet hair and comb or brush flat.
We use the No.1 Brush as it detangles easily without tears.

One hour later it’s dried frizz-free and respectable for school

Back home after a hard day at school. Having dashed through the rain, and probably some hedges in a backwards direction, James’ hair is a little curlier, but without the frizz thanks to LifeSaver UV.

Occasionally I step out of my lane into savoury, though I doubt Greggs will be quaking with their 2.5 million sales a week. These freshly made sausage rolls with puff pastry and artisanal fillings make for a more delicious treat than mass produced and packaged versions.

I love using hair colour. And who wouldn’t benefit from hair colour in some form? Maybe Vin Diesel, and age-appropriate of course - I'm not recommending for babies or children. But whether a subtle whisper or full on drama...

Where were you standing when you decided to adjust your hair colour? Do you stand there often?

At the first salon I worked as a junior, back in the last century, the colourists at the salon had an interesting technique for showing clients their finished results; escorting them to the ladies toilet where a single electric wall light seemed to cast a favourable glow.
