Body Straight Up

Big Hair may be back in the fashion pages but if you still yearn for Rachel-smooth locks, Ionic Hair Retexturising (IHR) is the latest weapon in the battle against frizz. Developed in Japan and introduced in the UK by London salon ColourNation, it's a gentler way of chemically straightening hair, producing a longer lasting sheen on more hair types even if colour-treated.

Based on ionizing techniques, which claim to lock moisture into the hair shaft, the process includes extra stages aimed at protecting the hair. OK, it takes a mind and rear numbing five hours in the salon chair, and costs at least �280, but it means you can ditch your time consuming styling regime at home for a quick blow-dry. And your hair will stay relatively frizz-free even on the rainiest day.
