You spend forever curling your hair for it to last a total of seven minutes

Unless you douse it in three cans of hairspray, those curls you just spent an hour doing are coming right out, my friend.

Plumping, thickening, texturising, boosting and root-lifting products like these:

Frozen’s Elsa’s dreamy Disney braid is but a distant dream. So in the words of the ice queen herself, “Let it go”…
