Hang on – PLUMPIFYING? Well, you’ve got to admin 10-in-1 sounds better than 9-in-1. And who are we to quibble when this actually is a godsend to dry, flat hair?

From the hairdresser famed for his ‘Chelsea Blow Dry’ (oh, and for doing Kate Middleton’s wedding hair) comes this multi-tasker. What we’re finding it most useful for, however, is for reviving hair that’s gone flat and lost its shape between styling sessions.

Simply smoosh (technical term) a few drops between palms, rub together and skim through hair to add a bit of oomph, definition and texture. Perfect for when you haven’t even got the time to reach for a dry shampoo, actually.

What we would say is that as it’s enriched with argan and other nourishing oils, Richard Ward Anti-Ageing Argan 10-in-1 Styling Spritz is probably best for dry hair rather than oily. (You really want a dry shampoo, for that.)

But it’s certainly earned a place in our ‘plumpifying’ S.O.S. styling kit.

Well, if you can’t beat ’em…
