1. Dream Coat Supernatural Spray - usually £27

Breezily light yet remarkably effective, this product is a summer staple amongst stylists for effortlessly taming frizz, even in the most humid conditions. Fans include Amy Short, stylist to Claudia Winkleman, who swears by it to achieve The Traitors' star's signature glossy locks.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, a long-time favourite of Kim Kardashian's, also sings its praises: "The level of glossy shine is incredible. Nothing can create a mirror-like-finish like Dream Coat ...and keep the style humidity-proof for days,".
2. Pop and Lock High Gloss Finish - usually £22.50
This ingenious hybrid of a lightweight oil and shine serum multitasks to smooth, hydrate and add a dazzling gloss. Boasting three levels of heat protection, Pop and Lock safeguards against UV rays and colour fade, whilst its show-stopping high-gloss finish seals the cuticle and temporarily mends split ends.
You can get a mini version of the finishing serum from £9 - ideal for on the go
I adore how this product gives my hair that salon-fresh look in mere seconds, imbuing it with a lustrous sheen that never looks or feels greasy. A little goes a long way, and it's even available in a compact 12ml version for £9 – perfect for popping in your bag for on-the-go touch-ups.
With an impressive 4.8-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews, shoppers are clearly smitten. One reviewer raved: "This is great for controlling humidity and makes your hair shine!" One satisfied customer beamed: "For years I have tried to find a product that tames my frizzy hair and I have finally found the perfect product! My hair feels so silky and soft after using it as well and it lasts for days."
But not everyone had a smooth experience with the application; one user reported: "The product is amazing! Looks as if it is going to be sticky but it's not. My menopausal hair is dry and frizzes easily. This is transforming my hair! I love it. However, I ordered the small applicator initially to try it and the hoke gets easily clogged up, difficult to use, it comes out thick and to get 1cm length even I have to pump it several times. If it wasn't such a good product I'd have given up and thrown it away. I also wish the black parts were clear plastic as it can't be recycled."
3. Color Security Shampoo - usually £21.50
With the summer heat contributing to sweaty scalps and increased oil production that can irritate your scalp, clog follicles, or even lead to hair loss, having a reliable shampoo is paramount. Many budget formulas are simply not up to scratch, particularly when it comes to coloured or treated hair - which is where Color Wow's Color Security Shampoo steps in at £21.50.
The Color Security Shampoo is great for banishing build up
When I opted for a copper hair dye last year, this quickly became my favourite product for maintaining my hair between salon appointments. The shampoo, free from sulfates and residue, cleanses gently yet thoroughly without leaving any build-up that could weigh down the hair or irritate the scalp.
In fact, every ingredient is designed to rinse off completely, leaving hair feeling squeaky clean which I find allows me to extend the time between washes. It's suitable for all hair types and colour-treated strands, it's even touted as 'perfect' for extensions.
4. Money Mist Leave-In Conditioner - usually priced at £29.50
Given that my hair is quite fine, I'm not particularly fond of using thick heavy conditioners in the shower. Instead, I favour a light, leave-in formula like the Money Mist from Color Wow.
I stumbled upon this earlier this year and now it's an integral part of my regular wash routine, used every time without fail.
Money Mist is a super light leave-in conditioning spray
The weightless, glossy leave-in conditioner strengthens, detangles, and smooths, all while adding shine and providing heat/UV protection. No need for heat tools to activate it.
My favourite aspect is how it makes my hair feel so luxurious. That silky, swishy finish you get after a salon blowout? Money Mist delivers that without having to step out of the house.
For a similar experience, I also quite enjoy Lush Super Milk and Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Joia Milky Leave-In Conditioner, both priced at £28.

Moreover, if the discount wasn't enticing enough, any customer who spends over £60 on the Color Wow site will have the opportunity to select a complimentary travel-sized product at the checkout. I suggest securing a mini version of your preferred product and keeping it for your upcoming holiday, or choose a product you've been keen to try but were hesitant to purchase at full price.

Edinburgh Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa reveals the real reason behind 'unplanned' exit
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh actor, Ncuti Gatwa, has shared that he will be stepping down from his role as the Time Lord in the hit BBC show, Doctor Who. The Scottish-Rwandan actor is set to go down in history the beloved sci-fi shows' 62 year history for many reasons - one of them being as one of the few actors who served the shortest time in his role as the Doctor- retiring his sonic screwdriver after just two seasons, reports The Daily Record. Ncuti has said the reason he quit the popular show due to the physical and mental demands it requires, especially for the lead character. However, fans believe that his exit wasn't planned, despite what the Sex Education star has told the media. The 32-year-old has now been replaced by the Billie Piper, who previously starred in the BBC drama as Rose Tyler alongside former Doctor, Christopher Ecclestone, who only lasted one series. Piper also starred in the 2006 series with David Tennant. Ncuti recorded a video explanation for his fans after his exit was aired in the Doctor Who season 15 finale on Saturday May 31. In the video, he said: "It's a role that demands a lot of you physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Doctor. Unfortunately, we are mere mortals. "I would love to have the energy and the youth to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life, but my knees are telling me it's time." However, die-hard fans believe there is another reason behind his exit, the Mirror reports. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. Taking to X, one fan named Mr Tardis had clearly done their research as they wrote: "In October 2024, Ncuti Gatwa was on 'The Graham Norton Show' saying he was going to be filming another series of DW next year. "In June 2025, he officially leaves the show and regenerates. This was never the plan. What a shame. He deserved so much better." Another echoed: "In situations like that, they'll often shoot two different alternative scenes: one where the series continues, and one to finish things off. "Ncuti may well have actually thought he'd be staying on back in October 2024, even after filming a regeneration scene just in case." A third fan was left disappointed with the news of his exit as they wrote: "I am so f****g sad. its one thing to see your doctor regenerate because they chose to, another to see it happen because of behind the scenes s**t. "I loved literally every episode this era. I've been defending it the whole time. this.. this kinda broke me." Adding to his exit speech, Ncuti said: "You know when you get cast, at some point, you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it. "This journey has been one that I will never forget and a role that will be part of me forever. He added: "There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe." The former Doctor Who star continued: "The fans are truly the final character and beating heart of this show and I can't thank the Whoniverse, and the Whovians, enough for welcoming me in, and making this such a touching experience. "I've loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved blue box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have. I'll truly miss it, and forever be grateful to it, and everyone that has played a part in my journey as the Doctor." Meanwhile showrunner Russell T. Davies also expressed his sadness over Ncuti's decision to step down. He expressed: "What a Doctor! Thank you, Ncuti! As his final words say, this has been an absolute joy, and the team in Cardiff and everyone who has worked on this show for the past few years, are so lucky to have been part of Ncuti's great adventure as he shoots off to stratospheric new heights." He added: "Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005, and now she's done it again! It's an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the Tardis, but quite how and why and who is a story yet to be told. "After 62 years, the Doctor's adventures are only just beginning!" A spokesperson for Doctor Who declined to comment.

Jeremy Clarkson's furious response as fan complains about £24 steak pie at pub
TV's Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has hit back at a moaning customer who complained about the price of the steak pie at his pub - and told them 'enjoy your chlorine' Jeremy Clarkson hit back at customers grumbling about the £24 price tag on his pub's steak pie, cheekily retorting: "Enjoy your chlorine". The star of Clarkson's Farm, 65, has insisted on paying 'premium' prices for top-quality local beef for the pies served up at The Farmer's Dog, the pub showcased in the Amazon series. Clarkson suggested that those balking at the cost could resort to less scrumptious, chemically-treated alternatives. The sharp-tongued ex Top Gear presenter delivered the rebuff following criticism from a disgruntled punter who contacted him on social media, griping: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Never one to shy away from a challenge, Clarkson fired back: "Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job." In response to another query, "Your cows aren't they Jeremy?" Clarkson clarified: "Some are. Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don't want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine." The recent series of Clarkson's Farm documents Clarkson's struggle against soaring expenses as he opens his pub near Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxon. One memorable episode saw him gagging from the foul odour while rehabilitating the pub's old septic tank. Since launching in August with a commitment to only offering local fare, The Farmer's Dog has garnered widespread acclaim – despite Clarkson conceding he was at one stage losing £10 per patron. Its current menu lists 'steak pie, mash, carrots, seasonal greens and Hawkstone gravy' for the sum of £24. The pub's website boasts: "Our menu is made entirely with ingredients produced on British farms. It'll change based on what's in season, but it'll always be absolutely f****** delicious. Take a look and see what takes your fancy." Some on X slammed the pie as 'f****** extortionate' and labelled him 'tight', with one quipping: "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask." Yet, many rallied behind him - especially those who've sampled the pie themselves, with suggestions even coming in that he should hike the price further. A fan took to Twitter, proclaiming: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!". Another enthusiast simply exclaimed: "Ah! But what pie". And another chimed in: "Worth every penny." A regular at Clarkson's establishment declared: "Best pub in the world is not for you, stick to McDonalds." Meanwhile, patron Jason Rees shared: "Having eaten in @JeremyClarkson's pub and expecting it to be over hyped and average I was so impressed with the food we rebooked, as soon as we could, to repeat the experience." He added: "It's not cheap food but the quality was outstanding." Corrie icon Vicky Entwistle, 56, famed for her role as Janice Battersby and her stint in Celebrity Big Brother, commented: "I think that price is want to visit my village pub up north the prices are through the roof." Another supporter commented: "I'm guessing it's using unprocessed ingredients and fresh veg. There's a saying you get what you pay for. You could have a Dacia Duster pie meal for £10 rr a Mercedes pie for £24." Yet another addressed a complainer, saying: "You must be a complete idiot! £4 is vat Then you take off the price of the fresh ingredients, then the staffs salary, Nat ins, and employer pension contribution, then the non domestic rates, gas and electric, rent. There will not be much left at all. Price should be £30."

Meghan Markle 'trying to rewrite memories' but 'failing to recognise struggles'
As Meghan Markle has began opening up more about her two pregnancies, a psychologist shares how the Duchess Of Sussex is trying to 'rewrite memories', but excluding struggles. Experts have revealed how Meghan Markle may be failing to recognise her struggles as a mother and presenting an 'overly polished' image, after the duchess gave an intimate insight into her pregnancies with her children Archie and Lilibet last week. Explaining that she gained just over 4½st during each pregnancy, she said, 'I always wear my five-inch, pointy-toed stilettos. You have the most enormous bump and your tiny little ankles are bracing themselves in these high heels... So you're just going, how on earth am I not just tipping, you know, face-planting? I was clinging very closely to my husband, like, 'Please don't let me fall.'' But as well as the more humorous memories, Meghan, 43, also opened up about sometimes feeling consumed by motherhood. 'People forget that Lili is three, and Archie is five. So you look at the past five, six years of my life, it's yes, with being pregnant or with a newborn or with a toddler, and then another one.' According to psychologist Stefan Walters, Meghan's increasingly frequent disclosures on her Confessions Of A Female Founder podcast could well be a sign that she is feeling broody. 'Women often romanticise and enjoy that stage of pregnancy and having a newborn baby, and want to really share that with the world at large because it can be such a unique and beautiful time,' he tells Mirror. Stefan also suggests that Meghan's podcast has given her a much-needed platform to be able to work through some of the traumatic episodes she experienced during her pregnancy and the early years. During one shocking interview at the end of the Sussexes' official tour to South Africa shortly after Archie's birth, Meghan seemed to be struggling under the weight of the spotlight amid the growing tensions with their extended royal family. When a reporter asked how she was coping, Meghan responded, 'Any woman, especially when you're pregnant, you're really vulnerable, so that was made really challenging. So then when you have a newborn… especially as a woman, it's a lot.' According to Stefan, Meghan's recent personal disclosures could be rewriting some of these memories. 'There's an element of getting a second chance here,' he explains. 'Pregnancy was a difficult, painful time for them, and at times she seemed to be struggling. It wasn't necessarily associated with a lot of happy memories. 'So, now she's perhaps feeling that she's able to create and relive some happy memories around pregnancy and the early years of her children's lives.' Speaking recently about those hazy early months of new motherhood, Meghan recently confessed that, despite always wanting to be a mum, it didn't go as she had imagined or hoped. 'I was like 'Oh gosh, I'm going to give a speech with a baby on my hip,'' she revealed on her podcast. 'I had a whole vision – and then you fast forward… granted, I had a lot of external things happening by the time I had both pregnancies and both babies. But it was not the way I envisioned it.' Today, her glossy Instagram feed is packed with personal posts featuring Harry, 40, and, increasingly, their children, including a sweet recent clip of her and Lilibet, who turns four this week, beekeeping in matching bee suits, and her wedding anniversary montage. The latter featured a baby scan labelled Archie, who turned six in May, as well as one of Harry cradling one of the children as a newborn. It's in stark contrast to the protocol that governs most working royals, when family photos are generally only released on occasions like birthdays or at Christmas. Indeed, Stefan believes Meghan appears to be embracing the freedom of no longer being bound by strict royal rules. 'I think she's partly creating a platform for herself, because she was ridiculed publicly and when she and Harry left the UK, there was a lot of scorn directed at them. By doing her podcast she now has a brand, but more importantly a voice. 'She probably feels that she wasn't allowed to have an authentic voice before because it went against what the royal protocol was, and it went against the brand of the royals. So she's creating an authentic voice and just being honest and open.' Branding expert Lynn Carratt claims the couple, and Meghan in particular, are walking a bit of a PR tightrope when it comes to their public image because there's a fine line between sharing the positives of their life and appearing 'overly polished'. 'While recent glimpses into her life hint at a softer side, some of the narratives still feel unattainable for many people,' she says. But Lynn says it's a definite 'positive shift' to see the pair focusing on their life in California as a family of four, rather than in conversations involving the wider royal family. 'I think their future PR strategy should aim to portray a family image that is still positive but maybe more grounded and relatable,' she adds. 'Life isn't perfect – and acknowledging the struggles, much like she does when discussing the challenges of running a business with two young children on her podcast, would resonate more authentically with the public.'
