Our resident beauty expert Alex Hatton is back with her Beauty News.
She shared some of her top hair recommendations in this month's issue of RSVP Magazine.
The fringe is officially this season’s hottest hair look. And no-one wears it better than Davina McCall. Her hair stylist, Michael Douglas, who has also styled the tresses of Tess Daly, Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow, says, “There is a fringe for everybody: it’s about finding what is right for your hair type and hairline.”

The most flattering fringe, according to Michael, is his famed V-cut fringe: it’s slightly shorter in the middle and it goes longer towards the temple. Keen to emulate the look? Get your mane game on point with these recommended treatments and styling tools.
The Smooth Stick
One simple flick of this smooth stick will help tame and fix up your fringe in a flash while keep it in place all day long! Shop the The Smooth Company, The Smooth Stick, €15, at Brown Thomas.
Function of Beauty, Strengthen #HairGoal Booster Shots
Fringe hair is prone to brittleness and breakage, so you’ll need to beef up your haircare arsenal. This booster shot is exceptional: formulated with pea sprout, it helps support hair’s natural elasticity and resilience. It can be added to your shampoo or conditioner to protect and nourish your bangs. Shop it for €5 at Boots here.
FARO, The Glide Vented Brush
Michael advises using a flat vent brush when blow-drying your fringe. This one is exceptional because it glides through your tresses and protects the hair cuticle. The results are smoother, healthier looking hair with increased shine. FARO, The Glide Vented Brush, €21, available in Peter Mark salons nationwide and faro.ie.
