Hair care kit

DD (nearly 16) would like me to put together a bundle of goodies for hair care for Christmas. The main thing she wants is some straighteners that can also curl (?), and she has also mentioned a silk bonnet to wear overnight, and some sort of overnight heatless wave thing. She has straight mid length hair, and likes to bleach and dye bits of it bright colours (she’s quite quirky in style). I only ever use a round brush, hairdryer and serum for my hair, so am clueless! Would welcome any ideas for a treaty hair hamper. Can spend up to around £70, including the gadget.

You can use any straighteners to curl hair, it's about how you wrap the hair around them before you pull down. There are many tiktok videos to teach this! You wouldn't want wide plates though. I have these and like them. Heats up fast, different heat settings

Get her some heat defence spray to protect her hair before she uses them https://www.boots.com/vo5-dry-heat-protect-spray-200ml-10356785

Heatless curlers https://amzn.eu/d/0BNESYG
You can get silk versions, but these are more expensive

Satin ones would be cheaper

DD and her friends use gairnier hair food as a hair mask. They like the one in the brown tub - cocoa butter I think.

This range is also very popular with them https://amzn.eu/d/7idAXFp for getting very shiny hair

Tk max either online or in store are good for hair electricals and also masks/serums. Can’t give much advice on specific brands though.
