That's interesting you recommend dry shampoo, when I've tried it in the past I just found it really powdery and not made much difference but I just sprayed it on instead of massaging it in! Noticed Batiste have tons of different ones, is there one you recommend?

The majority are just different smells but I'd go for the colour specific ones. Havinf dark roots i know the white power can show though a bit but if your hair is lighter definitely try the cherry one! I have it at the moment and it smells amazing!

If you'd like to ask anything I'll do my best to answer!

Just post a wee comment down in the comment box bit and I'll get back to you :)

There's loads of wrinkle creams etc out there, but do you think its good to start using them while you're still young before you even have any? Like a preventative measure?

There really is no reason for anyone under the age of 30 to start using anti wrinkle creams. It's not until after 30 that the elastin in your skin stop being produced in large amounts and causes what appear as wrinkles. However if you are concerned about premature aging of your skin have a look at your lifestyle and what could be the factors having this affect. Smoking, unhealthy eating, too much alcohol and not having a good skincare routine could all be causes! And taking Evening Primrose Oil or a skin,hair,nails daily vitamin really makes a huge difference too :)

Hi do you know of a good shampoo for hair that gets greasy really fast? I've tried loads of different ones but don't seem to make much difference, my hair is pretty long so try to wash it every second day but it looks terrible by then! :( x

Anything that has Tea tree in it! Boots tea tree and mint shampoo and conditioner is really good, I used that before I started bleaching mine haha! Also, invest in some Batiste Dry Shampoo and use it on the day in between washes, you can even get wee travel sized cans to take out if you feel you need a top up. And it gives really nice volume :)
Just spray it on section by section, give it a massage into you roots and brush out with a soft bristled brush and you're good to go :)

My skin goes so oily I keep reapplying powder when I'm out etc, I never use moisturiser at all but I know a lot of people do?

Everyone needs to use a moisturiser! I have very combination skin and find that Simple Light Hydration moisturiser works amazingly. Even people with oily skin should moisturise!
You don't have to use Simple, that's just my recommendation, anything that is labelled oil free will do the job nicely! I never buy expensive moisturisers as they're just not worth the money.
Go eaasy on the powder too as it can clog pores even more, try using blotting papers? They're a bit harder to find at chemist price but definitely worth paying money for!
