This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policy’s. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

    Anyone got any good tips for holiday hair probs? I have naturally curly/frizzy hair (blonde highlighted)and it always looks a mess on holiday! Using straighteners is useless and I have tried deep conditioning, JF serum and those "beach hair sprays" which make it look worse and loads of other things bought in Spain(waste of money). I need something I can put on it in the morning to tame the frizz but protect the colour and prevent it drying out. I then wash it before going out at night and let it dry naturally, again I need something to give it some shape and encourage the curls and to help make it less frizzy.

    I think I need a product especially for the sun and hot(humid) weather but that helps style it too!!!!!!!!!!

    PS Tried JF weather works yesterday but not too impressed, didnt seem to help on my day out at the windy seaside.
