It was shorter than my normal cut but the upward flick was very pretty. And to avoid frizz – bad at any length but worse when it’s short – she used L’Oréal Professionnel Techni.ART Flex Pli Styling Spray, (£19, amazon.co.uk) for the blow-dry, which is light and easy, and finished off with Kerastase Genesis Serum, (£49.50, boots.com). You need a medium to large bristle brush like the Neville 1405 Bristle Brush, (£40, nevillehairandbeauty.net) for this blow dry. And at the end, I did look different, but not in a scary way. No one actually hailed me with “All Saints!” or indeed “Spice Girl!”, but it was an easygoing and effortless cut.
