The best haircare products to shop in the Amazon Prime Day sale before they sell out - including Kérastase and Colour Wow
As much as I love good drugstore buy, when it comes to haircare, I do believe it's worth investing in more high-end brands if that means you'll get salon-worthy results. From Kérastase to Olaplex and Color Wow, the Amazon Prime Day sale has hundreds of haircare deals worth checking out. Below, I've listed ten of my go-to hair products that are on sale this week…
Kérastase Densifique Thickening & Volumising Shampoo (-40%)
I have a lot of fine hair, which benefits from a bit of texture to appear fuller and thicker. This shampoo does exactly that – and it smells delicious.
£17.80 Shop
Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask (-36%)
I only wash my hair twice a week, so for the second wash I will use this moisture mask from Olaplex. (Again, instead of a conditioner.) It really softens and smooths the hair, making it easier to detangle, but more importantly, it adds body and shine.
£17.99 Shop
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil (-34%)
Another Olaplex product that I really enjoy using is the bonding oil. I don't need to use a lot of it, because I don't have dry or damaged hair, but a couple of drops worked through the ends once I've finished blow-drying it does wonders.
£18.55 Shop
Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangler (-38%)
This is my favourite hairbrush. Its flexible, two-tiered teeth make it easier to comb through wet hair and remove any towel-drying knots without damaging or breaking the hair. Plus, it comes in lots of cute colours.
£11.19 Shop
Color Wow Cult Favorite Firm + Flexible Hairspray (-43%)
I know what you're thinking: why are you spending £29 on hairspray? But it's the best one. It's lightweight yet manages to tame my flyaways, smells really good and leaves a pretty shine. I spray it onto a brush and comb it through my hair.
£16.53 Shop
L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Flex Pli Styling Spray (-39%)
My hair wouldn't hold a curl until I discovered this heat-activated styling spray. It's used by all the professionals – and for good reason: my beach waves now last three days.
£11.63 Shop
Living proof Triple Bond Complex (-27.19%)
This leave-in treatment, hair mask and heat protectant in one is a staple in my toiletry bag on days I'm headed to a workout class before work. It's a small bottle, meaning it takes up very little space, and I'll use it instead of the conditioner that's in the shower room.
£27.19 Shop
Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray (-19%)
Is your third-day hair looking a little flat? This dry volume and texture spray from Living Proof offers an instant fix. I like to lift sections of my hair and spray it directly onto the roots. Oh, and it smells delicious.
£29.89 Shop

Melanie C sports Spice Girls football shirt as she joins Kate Lawler in leading the stars at Flackstock festival in honour of late Love Island host Caroline Flack
Melanie C and Kate Lawler paid tribute to late Love Island host Caroline Flack as they attended the annual Flackstock festival on Friday night. Living up to her her 'Sporty' nickname, singer Mel, 51, opted for a multi coloured special edition Spice Girls football shirt, which she paired with black shorts and white trainers as she arrived at the event. Flackstock takes place every year and aims to raise money for mental health causes after Caroline took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40. The former Spice Girls star took to the stage to pay tribute to the late TV host, as she put on an energetic DJ set, sticking her tongue out and gesticulating throughout her time behind the decks. Mel was in good company with fellow DJ Kate Lawler, 45. She also caught the eye in a patterned waistcoat, which flashed a hint of her midriff and exhibited her bronzed legs in a pair of thigh-skimming denim shorts and cowboy boots. The former Big Brother star looked sensational as she posed for the camera in the stylish ensemble, which she accessorised with a chunky belt and tie necklace. Also in attendance and performing for the night were former Boyzone member Keith Duffy and former Westlife member, Brian McFadden. The pair who now make up Boyslife made sure they gave their fans what they wanted when they performed their big hits on stage. Keith, 50, made sure to stand out from the crows as he donned a white leather jacket, adorned with red and black inkings. He wore the bold number over the top of a leopard print shirt, which he'd unbuttoned to show off some chest and a black vest he also wore underneath. He finished off his look with a pair of black trousers, some white and black lace up shoes and a chunky pocket chain. Meanwhile Brian wore a red bomber jacket which he paired with black trousers with a matching red stripe and chain. Michelle Heaton, who is back singing with Liberty X, sent temperatures soaring in a thigh-skimming floral minidress which she wore with a cross body bag and an array of jewellery.

Also in attendance were former Lover Islander Chris Taylor and Ginger Johnson, HarleyMoon Kemp, musician Anna Blue, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham, Oliver Cheshire and Caroline's twin sister, Jody.

The best layout for a family home, by a leading Irish architect
A single-storey extension inspired by Elizabethan long galleries helped to open up the social spaces in Rathdown, a Thomas Stringer-built, 1930s, semi-detached red-brick in Dublin 6, and create strong connections with the garden. It also secured a third consecutive win for the Dublin-based Scullion Architects in the Living: House — Adaptation category at this year's Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) awards. Declan Scullion, the director of the practice, says that the ambition for the project was to complement and live up to the quality of the original house, as well as improving various connections. 'It's very well-built housing stock with attractive details, little flourishes around windows and doors, and good-quality materials,' he says. 'The issue was the quality of life for a modern family. The houses, while wonderfully well built, don't offer social spaces around kitchens and dining in a way that has become much more a part of how we live in family homes.

I make my 3 kids DIY pick & mix bags for 35p every summer as I'm sick of getting guilt tripped at the corner shop
THE summer holidays can feel like a marathon of small expenses, and for many parents, the daily trip to the corner shop is a guilty pleasure that quickly drains the wallet. One genius mum has had enough, and she's found a brilliant way to beat the " can I have a sweet?" guilt trip while saving a fortune. 3 The savvy mother-of-three, known as ' savvysavingmamaxo ' on TikTok, shared a video revealing her simple yet effective trick. Frustrated that a quick visit to the local shop could easily cost over £10, she decided to pre-empt the inevitable pleas for treats. Her solution? A DIY pick-and-mix station. She took a trip to Farmfoods and spent just £8.87 on a mountain of different sweets. To make the haul go even further, she shared a clever hack: chopping up strawberry laces into smaller pieces to stretch them across more bags. Using pouches she already had at home, she created 25 individual sweet bags. The result was a miracle for her family budget. From her initial spend, the cost of each bag came to a stunning 35p. Not only does the hack save a small fortune, but it also helps with portion control and ensures she's fully stocked for the entire summer. The video, captioned with a shout-out to Farmfoods for helping her save "some serious pennies," quickly gained over 104,000 views. Shoppers rushed to share their thoughts and praise her creativity. I ditched the UK & bought a house for the same price as a summer holiday One commenter wrote: "Great idea mixing it all up," admitting they usually "stand there counting out each sweet equally in case they moan that one has a sweet they didn't get." Another added: "My mum used to put a pillow, colouring book, pens, sweets, drinks in the car when we were going on holiday for each of the three of us. We LOVED it. Creativity is key.' The hack even inspired one user to make a bag for themselves: 'I wanna do this for myself let alone my son. Love how cheap it was!' Three ways to save cash this summer Travel Smarter, Not Harder Forget the stress of finding and paying for parking by hopping on a train. For groups of three to nine adults, you can save big with GroupSave, which offers a third off the price of off-peak tickets. For a budget-friendly option, consider FlixBus, which connects various UK cities to popular beach spots like Brighton and Bournemouth, with tickets often starting from just £5. 3 If driving is your only choice, a little planning goes a long way - make sure to look up the most affordable parking spaces in advance. Websites like are a great resource for finding and booking private driveways for a fee. Pack Like a Pro To keep the little ones occupied for hours, a bit of preparation is key. Challenge them to a treasure hunt for the most unique shells and stones, a sand-sculpting contest, or a game of tic-tac-toe in the sand. Be sure to bring your own bucket and spade to avoid overpaying at beachfront shops. The same goes for essentials like sun cream, which is often far more expensive near the beach. By packing your own towels and a parasol, you can skip the costly sun lounger rentals. You can even find a reusable beach parasol for as little as £4.99 at places like Home Bargains, an investment that will pay off trip after trip. Keep Costs Down with Your Own Food Beachside food and drinks can quickly inflate the cost of your day out. A simple trick is to freeze plastic bottles of squash overnight; they'll act as a refreshing, chilled drink that melts throughout the day. For a cool treat, pack homemade ice lollies in a cooler mug to keep them frozen for a few hours. And don't forget to pack plenty of snacks that won't spoil in the heat, such as crisps, nuts, and breadsticks. IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
