help with a 'hair care' hamper

carlamarie_2

i have just taken advantage of superdrugs andrew collinge offer (reductions, 3 for 2 and free delivery) and decided im going to put together a hair hamper for my mum for xmas. full price £23.16 it cost me £10.46:j

i have bought the following;

• shampoo
• conditioner
• gloss
• conditioning mask
• protective heat spray
• hairspray

i plan to pop in a hair colourant and a selection of brushes (has anyone seen a set anywhere?)

she has all the electrical tools of the trade and doesnt wear bobbles/slides etc.

is there anything else i can add? i feel like im missing something vital!

i would add both the shower cap and turban thingymabob

think about it
she may shower and not wash her hair, so needs the shower cap
she may shower, and wash her hair so needs the turban thingymabob

Lol which one? The personal massager?

I love my Tangle Teezer Brush, Amazon often have good deals.

What about a voucher for a hair cut, one of those free ones? Maybe a magazine to read whilst she colours her hair?

Not sure if this is any help as I dont know her hair, but fo those of us (me ) who have hair that likes to frizz all over the place there is frizz ease serum and im sure ive seen a straigthening serum? can you tell I dont do alot of fussing with my hair?? :rotfl:

You could add a Hairstyle Magazine but, it might be taken the wrong way (i.e. I think you need a new hair-do!) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I would include:

Shampoo, conditioner, intensive treatment, gloss treatment (john frieda do an amazing one in a big light goldy bottle), finishing serum, hairspray, dry shampoo, shine spray, heat spray, if she has blonde hair then purple toner and purple shampoo, volumising spray/foam (to add body), bobby pins are always vey useful. I agree a microfibre towel for quick drying is a must, but for good brushes it costs a fair bit so I would avoid unles you get an very good deal (let me know if you find one) sectioning clips. If shes the daring type you could get a backcoming brush they are quite cheap but it is a bit of a skill to backcomb without ending up with a matted mess lol.

Sounds lovely, I'm doing my sister a beauty and makeup hamper for her 18th, I'm adding the b4 colour remover as she likes to change her hair colour so often and then bleach then re-dye. Think it might save her hair!

thanks for all the ideas ladies

i will def get a head massager - didnt think of them!
also will get both the shower cap and turban thingamybob!
them brushes look like a good deal- so will get them.
sectoning clips may be a good idea for when she is drying/straightening her hair

my cousin has her own salon and cuts her hair for free already - but she refuses to colour it as my mum is allergic to the colourants - hence me putting one in the hamper (she does it her self being extra careful not to get it on her scalp:eek:)

she hasnt backcombed since the early 90s when it used to be REALLY big lol!

thanks everyone theres some really good suggestions

hope your sister loves her hamper Savvy
