Can anyone rec a good hairspray from HB to help keep curls in please?

My 13 yr old is 'experimenting' with hair styles at the minute and we found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzJKdHglFck which we tried last night, looks great, needs spraying to maintain, but would need something that isn't going to make her hair feel like a crash helmet when sprayed!

Has anyone bought a shake weight from HB? I've just paid over £20 from Amazon for one, but saw they had them for £4:99 or £5:99 in HB. I didn't get it cos I didn't know if it wud be a cheaper alternative. Still says 6 mins per day, but my one has a dvd with it.

I bought some of those this weekend .
I thought they were truly horrible.
Surely they are not Thorntons?!
Mine only had the truffle eggs , dark choc truffles and a raspberry in white choc bar.

If they aren't, whoever manufactured them is trying very hard to copy.
Compare what you had with what's available in their shops. Easiest way to do that is to use Google images. Ask for Thorntons and the sort of chocolate you had.
The Turkish Delight bar matched up too.
Bear in mind you are buying misshapes. I did get one that looked like the lemon bar but definitely smelt of coffee, I didn't go as far as checking the taste, I'm not into coffee.
Fortunately everyone has different tastes and I was able to pass all the coffee ones one.

The raspberry in the white chocolate bar sounds like an Eton Mess.
If it's the smooth truffle egg you got, it sounds like a champagne one, which does have a distinctive taste.
When you buy a bag the till system automatically asks the operator to check if you re old enough to buy alcohol.
There's quite a few alcoholic things listed on the ingredients.

Have to agree with you, mine were exactly the same as your bag & the only ones I thought were nice were the raspberry ones, the other's were horrible, will stick to the mis-shape chocs rather than the bars in future.
