last weekend left the BeautyCow team with sore feet and fuzzy heads after a child free weekend in fabulous London town.  Kicking off with with corporate tickets to a Chelsea match, not a normal occurrence but secretly enjoyed by all, then catching up with old friends, hence the fuzzy heads and finally rounded up with a day at Salon International 2012, the culprit for six very sore feet!

With a jam  packed programme of live events, showcasing cutting techniques, the new seasons trends and everything in between, Salon International deemed "the UK’s most inspirational hairdressing event" was everything it promised to be.

Not only a great opportunity to learn about new innovations in hair design and a chance to network with current and hopefully new brands, it was enjoyed so much that tickets for next years event are already booked.

GHD Heat Protectant Review from abbzzw

Abby from abbzzw.com here.. I have been using the new GHD Heat Protectant for the past fortnight and am going to share with you my thoughts on the product.

The newly improved formula is brand new for June 2011 and has been developed to improve everything from the way it works to how it smells and even the packaging. This Heat Protection spray is suitable for all hair types and is very light and not at all oily, something I desperately need as I have a lot of hair but it is quite fine and can get greasy relatively easily. I spritz each layer before straightening and have not experienced any product buildup or oily residue, this is easily the main reason I love this product so much. It doesn't take much for my hair to look a bit greasy when it's straight but with this heat protectant I am able to protect my hair, make it smell a-ma-zing and seem to be avoiding having greasy roots by the end of the day as well. Another perk of the product?!

I'm first to admit that heat protection was one of the last things on my mind when it comes to styling my hair. I know how bad that sounds but i'm also fully aware of how damaged my hair was by not using it, especially before blow drying. But now since trying the new ghd thermal protector i'm converted!
