Bumble and bumble...happy hair days!

They say that a woman’s hair is her crowning glory.  But whether it’s long or short, golden or chestnut, curly or poker straight, hair can be an expensive nightmare to maintain.  Finding the right products that combine value and good quality is tricky – especially when there is so much on the market.  Before we know it, our bathrooms and dressing tables are overflowing with bottles and tubs of sprays, waxes, masks, serums and conditioners.

My bathroom was such a place – before I discovered Bumble and bumble.  The floor of the shower was lined with bottles of every shape, size and colour.  And despite all of this, my hair was still an unruly mop.  The colour was indistinguishable, the length was so out-of-control that my mother had to take a pair of scissors to it, and what used to be shaping at the front had blended into a vague array of layers.  Embarrassingly, since my last hair appointment, I could have endured an entire pregnancy and be onto my second. 

So when I was asked to sample renowned brand Bumble and bumble at the Tiffany Hair and Beauty Salon on Bridge Street, Aberdeen, I was ecstatic.  I threw out all of my useless hair products, cleaned the shower, and began searching for images of my dream hair style. 

Who wouldn't want
her hair?

The afternoon finally arrived.  I walked into Tiffany’s for the first time and asked for Chloe.  Fortunately for me, Chloe is a very talented hairdresser who has cut hair in Scotland and Australia.  Unfortunately for her, she was tasked with my challenge of making me look like Rachel McAdams.  “If you could just replicate her, that would be great” I said, showing her a photo of the actress’ beautifully styled auburn hair.

So the dye went in, the scissors came out and before long, my untamed hair was transformed.  Then the Bumble and bumble party started.  These products decorate the dressing rooms of the major fashion shows and are used in all of the famous salons.  They’re favoured for their versatility, good quality and long life.  What’s more, they smell like a bouquet of flowers, look attractive in your bathroom and won’t break the bank.  Whatever your hair, there’s a Bumble and bumble product for you. 

Ideal decoration for any bathroom

The Bb Prep has proved to be an excellent protector against my daily hot water, hairdryer and straightener regime, and a generous dose of Bb Straight Blow Dry has ensured that my hair dries smooth and sleek.  But my favourite product is the Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil, which I apply to my hair once I’ve dried and straightened it.  The oil, instead of making my hair look greasy or sticky, dissolves instantly and keeps it looking controlled and styled throughout the day. 

The hairdressers at Tiffany’s use these products in all of their appointments and the full range is sold at the salon.  You will be supplied with a Bumble and bumble booklet, which shows you what has been used in your hair so you can buy the right product again and again.

So thanks to an expert pair of hands and a daily dose of Bumble and bumble, my hair has been restored to a healthy and stylish state.  Now, if anyone knows where I can get Rachel McAdam’s cheekbones, please get in touch.
