Here is what is happening within the beauty world at the moment...

Two new dry shampoo's - "TONI&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe has announced the launch of two new styling dry shampoos, both of which were road tested backstage at SS15 shows spearheaded by Global Hair Ambassador Mark Hampton.Casual Matt Texture Dry Shampoo provides a matt finish to the hair to remove shine; while Classic Perfect Tease Dry Shampoo has been created to add shine, grip and soft definition while concentrating on thickness and volume." These will launch in February and cost £7.49.

Tangle Teezer just get better and better - "Tangle Teezer has announced two new additions to its brush collection. The new Blow-Styling Hairbrush provides volume and shine, as well as a faster drying experience. Designed as a paddle brush, the individual teeth formation allows for free flow tension, whereby hair will pass through in a snake like motion, removing excess water from the surface layer ready for blow drying. There is no dragging or stretching of hair, allowing hair to retain its natural movement and volume for longer. The brush will be available in a full paddle (medium to long hair) and half paddle size (short to medium hair). Also launching is the Compact Groomer, the first Tangle Teezer for men. Suitable for both head and facial hair, the groomer comes complete with a metallic cover to protect teeth from dirt and fluff." Prices will range £12.25- £20 and launch in February (Blow-Styler) & March (groomer).
