So here’s a little story. When she was a teenager, Jo was only allowed to wash her waist-length hair once a week, because it would take her mother an entire hour or more to get the tangles out. 

A Mason Pearson brush simply scooted over it (still does), and in those days, wide-toothed combs didn’t really exist, so it was pretty much an entire evening’s chore for Vivienne Fairley to de-knot, smooth and generally make Jo’s hair smooth and sleek while it dried naturally. It was all pretty uncomfortable, sometimes downright painful.

Well, this would have changed EVERYTHING. From a former British Hairdresser of the Year, 100% British, vegan and cruelty-free, this spray is targeted at frizzy and damaged hair, in particular, spritzing on to restore moisture while preventing further damage. (It can also be used between washes, to restore softness and add back shine, they suggest.)

A comb glides through hair beautifully once the spray has been applied, and as Lisa Shepherd point out: ‘Not only great for the busy adult, The Detangling Mist will help cut down the time you spend detangling your kids’ hair as, once applied, it gets to work detangling your little one’s hair. Your kids will be delighted to feel the relief with the product – no more scalp pain as you try to comb out tight knots!’

Several decades too late for young Jo – but better late than never!
