For as long as I can remember my hair has been straight – and then it made the miraculous transition to curly.

I put this down to consistently straightening my hair throughout my teenage years without that all-important heat protectant and of course, with a mindset that the idea of a protection product was absolutely futile. My regret came later.

Over the years the heat damage started to take effect and my hair set its status to permanent recovery mode. During this long, painfully extensive period, I ended up trialing the latest sprays that promised to give protection at the highest level on my trusty, now shine-infused straightener, the styling creams that left my dark strands white, crispy and barely held in place and the hair oils, which out of all of the styling products worked the best to improve the smoothness, but didn’t manage to hold my hair in place. There wasn’t a single, happy curl in sight.
