A blow dryer is just another name for a hair dryer. So, when you're drying and styling your hair, it'll add plenty of volume to your locks. You can find our range under the hair dryer section.

An epilator removes hair by pulling it out from the root. It has the same effect as waxing, but it doesn’t damage the skin, making it a much kinder way of getting those longer-lasting results.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. So, an IPL device uses bursts of light to get rid of unwanted hair, as well as slowing the re-growth process. And, if you’re hoping to stop hair growth all together, it’s recommended that you’ll need 8-10 treatments in total over a longer period of time. Please bear in mind that if you’ve got darker skin or lighter hair, you should avoid using an IPL because it may cause irritation.

If you’re looking for the best hair curlers, we have plenty available. Different curlers do different jobs – some let you change the barrel size for fuller or tighter curls, others have a wand for quick and simple styling, they can even come with tongs for more grip.

It’s really a preference thing. Because shavers simply cut hair at skin level, the root will stay in place and grow back pretty quickly. If you’re looking for a longer term result, an epilator might be the one for you. They pluck hairs directly from the root, meaning they’ll take longer to grow back.

Because epilators remove hair from the root, it can sometimes be a little uncomfortable. Some areas of your body are generally more sensitive than others too, so you might want to bear that in mind before using it in certain places. Most people also agree that it gets easier the more you use it – no pain no gain, as they say.

A foil shaver uses straight blades that sit behind a strip of perforated metal to cut hair. They basically push hair through the holes without damaging the skin – perfect for that clean shaven daily look.

Whereas a foil shaver uses straight oscillating blades, a foil shaver uses round ones. You won’t need to use shaving creams or gels with either – nice and easy.

This really depends on the look that you’re going for. If you’re after a clean shave, a foil model is the way to go. Or, if you’re just wanting something to help maintain your stubble, a rotary one is perfect. You can also choose between wet and dry models, so some you’ll be able to use with creams and gels (great for sensitive skin), and some will work wonderfully without.

There are loads of different brands and models to choose from, and it all depends on what features you’re looking for. Whether you want a cordless model, different attachments or some specific tech – have a browse here and see what takes your fancy.

There are loads of handy hair straightener features to look out for, and choosing between them pretty much depends on your hair type. For example, if you’ve got thin hair, a ceramic-plated pair is a good choice. Titanium models are better for thicker hair, and it’s always good to go for a model that lets you change the temperature settings. You can also get ones that are really portable – perfect for all those weeks away in the sun. Have a browse here and see what takes your fancy.

A diffuser is an attachment that most hair dryers come with. They’re specially designed to spread out the heat that comes from the dryer, so it’s not all hitting your hair at once. And thanks to this, they’re great for preventing heat damage especially for curly hair types.

Electric toothbrushes are great for stepping up your dental game, because their bristles will either vibrate or oscillate, depending on which one you go for. And, instead of you having to do the brushing action yourself, all you’ll have to do is guide it around your mouth.

Like an electric toothbrush, a sonic one uses vibrating or oscillating bristles, depending on which one you pick. The main difference between them is that a sonic model does it much faster, giving you a bit more cleaning power.

Yes – electric toothbrushes give you a much more thorough brushing experience than manual ones do. They’re easier to use too, because all you have to do is guide them around your teeth, rather than make the brushing action yourself. They’re also better for removing plaque, and a lot of them come with some really clever features that’ll help you master your dental routine.

There isn’t a specific electric toothbrush that a dentist would recommend, and that’s because it’s mainly down to personal preference. However, if you’re wanting to master a much more thorough brushing routine, an oscillating one will have a better effect. That’s because they’re a lot more powerful and great for getting rid of plaque.

A Theragun is a massage therapy device which drives weight into muscles to ease pain and discomfort. This helps to increase blood flow, reduce waste inside the body and improve things like posture, mobility and sleep.

Because percussive therapy drives weight into muscles, it gives them a deep tissue treatment. This helps to get the blood moving around your body and increase the overall flow, which relieves pain and reduces bodily waste.

Whilst a Theragun is brilliant for relieving muscle aches and joint pain, you don’t necessarily need to have either to reap the benefits of a Theragun. They’re just as good for improving posture, mobility and sleep.
