Forget sprinkling everyday talc onto hair to absorb moisture and create texture, today's stylists are graced with numerous products, dry shampoos and powders that have taken this old-fashioned technique and moved it into the modern age.
Ingredients such as clay and silica enhance results, with some offering dry shampoo properties, sucking up grease and adding texture, while others contain a coloured pigment that can enhance the colour of the hair with a matte finish.
Hair powders also come in a variety of guises from those that can be cocktailed with other styling products to give a solid hold, to those that turn into a styling paste when rubbed through the hands.

Hair extensions have become the must-have accessory of celebrities throughout the world, and have never been so accessible to the average girl about town.
Whereas a decade ago having hair extensions meant sitting in a styling chair for the best part of a day, with a result that looked somewhat synthetic and bonds that were easily detected - today hair extensions represent a much quicker and more attractive option.
As well as the ethical improvements in the way that human hair extensions are made, there have been a number of product developments that have led to a five-fold growth in the extensions business in the five years from 2002 to 2007.

Colour can make or break a hairstyle - you only have to look at the public's reaction when a celebrity changes their hair colour.

Few images are as universally seductive as the just-got-out-of-the-sea look of toussled beach hair; follow that with the sultry effect of sun-kissed locks and it's no wonder many clients love their summertime hair.
But as attractive as summer hair can be, the sun, sea salt and chlorine all wreak havoc with the hair's health and can leave it dry, frizzy and beyond repair.
