Keeping our hair tamed and chic without putting in too much effort can often seem like a Herculean task. But with these styling creams, lotions and accessories, you’ll have a chic ‘do in no time at all.

1.

Hair clips, £12,50, M&S

Easily (and stylishly) pull short fringes or stray hairs aside and secure them in place for as long as you need. Add a spritz of hairspray for extra staying power. We particularly love these clips from M&S that add a hint of festive glitz.

2.

The Bar Vegan Shampoo, £15, Lore Originals

Complete cleansing, exfoliation and nourishment for both hair and body in one easy bar. Plus, it’s vegan-friendly! Simply run under running water to wet the bar, lather between your hands and use wherever needed. Make sure to fully dry it with a towel between uses, though, as shampoo bars have a tendency to break apart when wet.

This hair cleanser breaks down build-up, cleanses the scalp and roots, but doesn’t strip moisture – just what we like to hear! The PH-balanced formula is packed full of nutrients and is suitable for any hair type, from afro to coarse. Apply to the massager tool and get right in to your scalp.
