Hair that is not sleek and smooth not only looks unkempt, it
can make you look older than you are. Many of us who have tried to wash their locks and leave them to air
dry and still look good have discovered it can be hard to get your hair silky
smooth at home.
In hot weather battling with a hairdryer can be a nuisance,
therefore I was delighted to discover Andrew Barton’s Age-Defying 300W-500W Air
Brush (£30, Argos). Boasting super-ionic technology that helps to tame frizz,
it also generates volume which is great if you have fine hair.

The two brush heads, one small (25mm) which is good for
shorter hair and creating root lift, and the larger one (38mm) good for
smoothing and shaping, are made from soft bristles and silicone which helps to
give you a sleek effect.
I left my hair to dry naturally until it was slightly damp
and ran the brush through it section
by section. As I got less tension than I normally get with my hairdryer and
round brush, I got a curlier look than usual which made a refreshing change.
This brush is ideal for touching up your style. You know
what I mean, when you get those pieces that go frizzy overnight.
My only gripe is that Andrew does not come with the brush.
He did my hair so beautifully the other week that I got wolf-whistled which is
something when you are over 35!
