CAROL'S COLUMN Views & tips from your side of the counter........ In the countdown to Christmas, I thought I would share my shopping list with you. These are all gifts that I personally will be buying for various members of my family and friends, each week I'll be featuring three... • Be Long By L'Anza - this will be neatly wrapped under my mother-in-laws tree this year. Ideal for anyone with long hair, this beautiful gift set is top quality. • American Crew - a big hit with my son on his birthday, I shall be presenting this to my super smart, city slicker nephew. I absolutely love the fantastic fragrance, really deep and fresh it makes the whole house smell clean! • Mop Hair and Body Gift Set - absolutely perfect for my teenage niece, she will love this trendy range. It's important, I feel, to make sure teenagers use good quality products right from the start. The funky packaging and lovely scents in this set will hopefully encourage her into a good routine.                            Fancy a Colour Boost? If you don't normally colour your hair but would like to brighten your hair for the party season, why not try a colour-boosting product? A colour booster will enrich the light and dark tones of your own natural shade and the beauty of them is that they're fantastic for adding shine. Here are our top 3:- • Aveda colour boosting shampoos and conditioners. Different variety's for different hair shades. • L'Oreal Professional Serie Expert Gloss Colour Shampoo - achieves a deep colour after just one wash. • John Frieda Born Blonde - obviously only suitable for fair hair but brings out lovely highlights. Tip Top Condition Whatever hair type you are, a conditioning product is an absolute must after washing. After all, you wouldn't wash your face and not moisturise would you? (You wouldn't, would you?!) Moisture is as crucial to our hair as it is to our skin, it's what keeps our hair soft and strong and it's the key to shiny hair. Shampoo raises the cuticles during washing causing the hairs to interlock and tangle. Conditioner smoothes the cuticles on the hair shaft which boosts shine and gives a smooth appearance. To get the best from your conditioner remember these guidelines:- • There's no need to use conditioner anywhere near the scalp. • Unless you're using an Intensive conditioner there is no need to leave it on the hair for any length of time. Daily conditioners don't penetrate the hair shaft, they simply smooth the outer layer. • Oil or panthenol based intensive conditioners or those containing Vitamin B5 are the only products to moisturise straight into the hair shaft. Make sure you rinse thoroughly as any residue will make hair dull and greasy. • Dry, curly or chemically processed hair will always need an extra moisturising conditioner that should be supplemented with an intensive treatment about once a fortnight. • Conditioners specially formulated for colour treated hair are a good choice as they provide sufficient levels of moisture and work to lock colour in. Some of our favourites are Kerastase Nutritive Protein Conditioning Milk, BeLong by L'Anza and Philip Kingsleys Complete Remoisturising Kit.             Q: How can I keep my long hair in the best condition? A: Apart from having the ends trimmed regularly to reduce breakage, always use a good quality product that especially formulated for long hair. My mum-in-law swears by L'Anza's Be Long range, which is a beautiful pink, salon formula range. Try to keep styling products to a minimum and if you use heated products, always use a protective serum. Using a good quality hairbrush will also minimise damage. Contact me
