Tips for taming wild hair...

If it's dry I'd recommend she starts doing a weekly deep condition - ideally leaving conditioner in overnight. My Mum and other people I know are raving about Moroccan Oil at the moment too. I'd invest in a good serum/ heat protector lotion. The Sebastian range are quite good as are Kerastase.

As for product to put on on the day, I'd only put serum onto the ends of the hair otherwise her hair will look a bit too shiny. Has she thought of getting a Brazilian blow dry or going tot he hairdressers for a trial?

She's just moved house so is a bit broke atm, otherwise I think she'd be straight down to the hairdresser for advice and a trial!

Moroccan oil eh? Sounds interesting!

Is she in MK too? If so, the L'Occitane shop has some samples of their hair masks she can ask for.

No she's in Stoke. I'll see if I can pick something up for her though. Where is that shop? In the shopping centre?

My OH has hair that sounds like what you've described, she uses this conditioner on it that a bit expensive but it works really well. All I know about it is that it's in an orange bottle so that's no help but i'll find out what it is and post the name when I can.

My hair is similar, although worse, as its "own style" is a frizzy mess! I either have to style it curly, or straighten it. Mine has been highlighted loads over the years, so it's really dry.

Is she having an up-do for the wedding, or does she just want a nice blow dry? Just a wash and blow dry in a salon shouldn't cost too much and it's amazing what hairdressers can do just with a brush and a hairdryer! She could ask for a wash, with conditioning treatment and a blow dry and I really don't think it'd be that expensive.

I don't have tame hair, but on the brazilian hair blowing, I know a few people that have had it done and they're all in love with it, it definitely helps tame the hair. It is a bit pricey but places like Wahanda and Groupon always have deals come up on them to make them a bit more affordable, might be worth looking at?

L'Occitane is in the Centre:MK next to Thomas Sabo and opposite Patisserie Valerie.
