Zara McDermott's ‘unreal' £30 hair waver has been creating her go-to summer hair
Zara McDermott's tousled beachy waves are the perfect easy hairstyle for summer, and she's shared exactly how she creates them thanks to an affordable £30 hair waver If you're looking for a quick, easy and effortless way to style your hair this summer, look no further than Zara McDermott's beachy waves. The former reality star has been spotted wearing the style on repeat whilst on holiday and filming for her new documentary, and she's finally shared the tool she uses to create the look. Posting on Instagram, Zara wrote: 'I've been obsessed with waving my hair recently for summer and this waver I got on Amazon is unreal!' Zara also shared a link to her ultra-affordable styling tool, with the Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver priced at £29.99. The Revlon hair waver is a more affordable version of others that are on the market right now, although now is also a great time to get your hands on some other models at discounted prices thanks to several beauty sales. LookFantastic has slashed the BondiBoost 32mm Wave Wand from £57.99 to £46.39 and the Beauty Works Waver is down from £69.99 to £56, whilst at Superdrug you can save 20% on the Mermade Pro Waver 32mm after it was reduced to £55.19 from £68.99. However Zara's Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver is still the most affordable option, and has an impressive range of settings and features to go with it. You can choose from 30 different heat settings up to 190°C which allows you to customise the temperature to suit your hair, and a tourmaline ceramic coating which reduces damage and seals your hair cuticle for smoother, shinier waves. The three jumbo barrels help create large, loose waves that give it that tousled, relaxed look, giving you that 'just got off the beach' vibe. It also has a unique extra-wide middle barrel which stops the waves from looking too uniform or perfect. Its large size also helps cover more hair more quickly, so you can recreate Zara's look in minutes, and it's been designed to make sure your waves last from morning to night. However the beauty of Zara's beachy waves is that even if they drop slightly as the day goes on, it just adds to that laidback, effortless look – truly a win win situation. Amazon shoppers have been singing the Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver 's praises too, with one saying: 'Top quality product, did lovely curly in my hair, a bit heavy but it works, I would highly recommend, it was delivered on time and as described.' Another agreed: 'Perfect for mermaid waves and or a slightly more deconstructed wave /curl effect. Easy to use covers good sections of hair in one go and heats up quickly. Product is big and does feels heavy for those of us with long thick hair as holding it for longer.' One shopper struggled with the weight, writing: 'I liked the adjustable temperature control on this but its so heavy! Found it very uncomfortable to use and didn't think it held the style all that well.' However others found the opposite, writing: 'Great value for money. I bought this to give texture to my straight hair. It's perfect and gives great results. The waves last for days. And I like that there is a heat adjustable button.' Someone else wrote: 'Definitely makes your curls shine. Long hold, even longer with products. I love it!'

Indy Clinton's new marketing campaign falls flat as she spruiks hair care products while wearing wigs and extensions: 'I'm not drawn to buying when the model has fake hair'
Indy Clinton has been called out for promoting a hair care brand while wearing wigs and hair extensions. The influencer and mum-of-three, 27, shared a video to Instagram giving fans a sneak peek inside her new campaign for Bouf Haircare which will be released next week. The clip featured Indy posing in a jumpsuit while wearing long hair extensions as well as in a short mini dress with a long blonde wig attached to her locks. Many flocked to the comments to slam Indy for promoting a hair growth product while wearing fake hair extensions. 'Don't get me wrong, this is cool, but also I'm not drawn to buying haircare when the model has fake hair/extensions. It's just hard to see how a product can be effective when we aren't shown real hair,' one person wrote. 'How do we know her fine hair wasn't caused by postpartum hair loss and the hair gain isn't just what happens when hormones settle after a baby and hair begins to grow back?' another asked. 'I mean this is fun but the choice of wigs and clip ins is not giving hair growth brand. There are so many hair growth serums out there lol. Didn't Indy used to plug Bondi Boost all the time?' a third commented. 'I hate to sound like a hater but WHY would you use wigs and extensions to promote a hair supplement? The fact that you are wearing a wig takes all the credibility away. It doesn't make it desirable,' one person added. Another said: 'I don't have any hate towards Indy or wish ill intentions but as someone who's watched her from the beginning it doesn't seem like this is where it's meant to be for you? I'm a little confused.' Despite the backlash, others rushed to Indy's defence and praised her exciting new campaign. 'Wow at everyone not understanding the brand. Clearly the hair extensions and wigs are tongue in cheek with the name of brand 'bouf' and are referring to the end goal of using this product - having luscious boufy hair. Come on people. So quick to throw hate without even taking a second to THINK,' one said. 'The dense comments are so ridiculous omg! So proud of you @indyclinton the internet is a weird place people don't get marketing making stuff fun!' another added. 'Excited for this,' a third commented. Another wrote: 'Why does everyone instantly just find the excuse to hate? She literally says in the caption her hair background and she can't wait to show yous the results? It's obvious she's stunting the wigs on purpose as it's about hair.' It comes after the mummy blogger recently made a defiant return to social media after she was relentlessly bullied by followers over the results of her recent rhinoplasty. Last month, Indy shared a clip to TikTok in which she revealed she was happy to be back while offering some choice words to her haters. 'I'm coming back online for good! I'm 27 years old and I've had a few tweaks, like my nose for example. I was so open about why I was doing it,' she began. 'But I still got so much hate. Online love to see you struggling, they love it so much. As soon as you are doing half good they hate you because you are not relatable anymore.' The mother-of-three added the trolls seemed to like her more when she was struggling and didn't like seeing her succeed. 'People loved it so much when I had three [kids] under three. I had milk leaking from my t**s, I was so sleep-deprived, exhausted, burnt out and depressed. People ate that s**t up,' Indy said. She finished by saying her followers could either support her or leave because she had no time for haters. Before that, Indy hit back at trolls who likened her to Michael Jackson following a cosmetic procedure on her nose. She had been criticised for covering her face, like the late pop star, and not showing the aftermath of the surgery. 'I have a lot of swelling obviously on the outside, but also internally which is making my nostrils look uneven,' she explained. 'It's going down everyday,' she said of the swelling, adding that it was 'so much worse' and she's been sleeping with little splints in her nostrils to help the healing. Speaking of her time in the cast, she said it was the 'longest twelve days of her life' but she was happy with her 'supernatural' results.

The BondiBoost Blowout Brush Will Blow You Away, If It Lasts
In the months I've been testing blowout brushes, one model in particular has been on my must-try list after seeing it touted online over and over: the BondiBoost Blowout Brush. BondiBoost makes a few different hair tools, including an aloe-infused hair straightener and the viral Infrared Bounce Brush ($98) which is designed for dry hair (more on that below), but I was itching to get my hairs on BondiBoost's blow-out brush to see how it compared to the likes of Revlon, Drybar, and T3. While the BondiBoost Blowout Brush has one of the lower price points, retailing for $70, it gave me shockingly similar results to the more expensive Drybar Double Shot ($155). The BondiBoost left my hair with a nice amount of volume at the roots, plus some smooth, slightly curled ends evocative of a professional blowout. It's been an impressive experience, especially for a brush that's still on the affordable end of the scale. It felt too good to be true—and it was. While the BondiBoost Blowout Brush works well, the problem is that it might not always keep working. An alarming number of online reviewers on both Amazon and BondiBoost's own website have reported it breaking down after just a few months. BondiBoost's PR team didn't comment on why this could be happening, but confirmed they do have a 30-day warranty—much less than other competitors, and outside the window in which these complaints saw breakage. It makes purchasing this brush a gamble, and raises the question: Would you rather risk needing to buy this brush multiple times, or invest in a more expensive brush from the beginning? Power Check Photograph: Nena Farrel The BondiBoost Blowout Brush has a pretty standard set of features. It comes in both a 75-mm oval version ($70) and 51-mm round brush ($70). I tested the oval version, though the smaller version has a detachable head so that you can use the handle of the brush as a targeted blow dryer before styling your hair with the brush attachment, likely since the brush is so much smaller. The BondiBoost Blowout Brush has a nice temperature range, going from 93 degrees Fahrenheit on the cool setting to 165 and 194 degrees for the two heat settings. These are significantly lower than some of the competition—the Revlon One-Step Plus (7/10, WIRED Recommends) goes up to 240 degrees, while the T3 AireBrush has a similar low-heat setting of 170 degrees but goes up to 213 degrees. I have fine, wavy hair, so the lower heat appeals to me, since my hair doesn't require higher heat to tame it. My hair also skews frizzy on its own, so I tend to reach for the lower heats and air levels to try to keep that frizz tamed. Folks with coarse, thicker hair might prefer a brush with higher heat levels, like the T3 or Revlon. Results vs. Investment Photograph: Nena Farrel I'll say it time and time again: I was really happy with my hair results with the BondiBoost Blowout Brush. It gave me a nice mix of volume throughout my hair without making my ends look unfinished, and it didn't get so hot that I had to worry about my hair feeling fried.
