Best hair ever: what did it for you? Hair DIY comes of age

When I met up with a friend recently for lunch she looked like she'd spent the morning in the hairdresser. Glossy hair, new colour and smooth bouncy locks.

"I coloured it at home myself" she told me. "I have that new Babyliss Big Hairdryer - it's changed my life. And Moroccanoil - god I love that stuff. Seriously" she said, with the zeal of the newly converted "every day is a good hair day now".

Home hair treatments have improved so much - deep conditioners, weightless shampoos, brilliant styling products and kinder hair colours.
