Let me introduce you...

to the Goody Start Style Finish 43mm Ceramic Ionic Porcupine Hot Round Brush. Now exhale!

I stumbled across this bad boy in Boots whilst looking for a round brush, something similar to the BrushLab Thermal Jumbo Hair Brush so that I could attempt LolaMarie7's "round brush your hair" tutorial. I'm sure you have already seen it but for those who haven't you can watch it here.

I've never heard of this brand before but after a bit of research with the aid of Google i've discovered they produce a wide range of brushes and combs for every stage of hair styling. They claim by selecting a tool from each step you'll see your best results yet.

This brush promises to:-

- add volume

- help reduce frizz

- straighten

I can vouch for 2 of the 3. I've come to accept that my hair doesn't retain volume. If your hair is thick/heavy like mine I wouldn't expect miracles from this brush. Saying that however the bristles have reduced frizz and made my hair feel uber soft plus it takes me half the time to blow dry my hair due to the quick dry ceramic plates.

Despite its bulky size, it's relatively light therefore it's easy to maneuver through your hair. I'm a big fan of the porcupine bristles. A lot of brushes are made entirely of the flexible bristles however the Goody brush has a combination . For my hair type I need a sturdier bristle to get through my mop. My hairdresser always jokes that I have a lot of hair hence why it's so thick.

This brush has pushed my Denman paddle brush to the back of the drawer.

The Goody brush range is stocked in Boots but you can also check out their website. Prices range from £3.49 to £11.99.

Have you tried any Goody brushes?

Biosilk Silk Therapy

Where have you been all my life?

I'm having a really good hair day today and I think it may be down to this miracle product.

Used for the first time last night, I applied a small amount to my damp hair and worked it from my roots to ends and then combed it through for more accurate distribution. To finish I applied Chi Keratin Mist to my ends before blow drying.

My hair is super soft and less frizzy. The downside is that when I curled my hair the curls fell out, im guessing because of the softness of my hair?

On the upside i've noticed my hair has more texture and volume to it, something I haven't really experienced after straightening my hair usually falls limp.

There has been mixed reviews about this product. A lot of people had claimed it made their hair oily. As long as you don't apply too much to your hair I can't see it being a problem. A little bit definately goes a long way.

I won't be using Biosilk everytime I wash my hair because I dont want my hair to get use to it and over time become immune to its ingredients.

Biosilk has multiple uses. According to the packaging it can be applied to dry skin to add extra moisture and can also be used for pressing pigments as it doesnt irritate the eyes.

Overall i'm impressed with the results after one use. This has worked wonders on my unruly hair and I would recommend it to anyone.

Check out the results for yourself.

I like Changes :)

I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday so I attempted to curl my hair.

The end results? I kinda like it :)

I can never find the time to experiment with my hair and have found myself stuck in a rut. I always play it safe, going the straight route.

The process took me about half an hour to do using my GHD's which i'm quite pleased about because my hair is pretty thick and I have alot of it.

After a nights sleep my curls where still in tact.

This has got to be better for my hair as I am constantly straightening it every morning.

For 2009 i'm going to try and make more of an effort with styling my hair. Slight changes like this make all the difference.

I'll leave you with a few more photos. I apologise before hand, I got a bit snap happy.

Happy 2009 everyone!
