Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm, 75ml, £18
THE HYPE
To be completely honest with you, I found a lil baby sample of this stuff in a gift bag I was given at the GLAMOUR awards maybe three years ago. I have a mild hoarding problem when it comes to beauty product samples (miniature things are adorable and they make me feel like a giant), which makes my boyfriend real mad.
Here are the promises that its inventors make, on the back of the pack:
"This miracle leave-in balm preps and primes your hair in readiness for all styling products and techniques. It’s all you need for beautiful, healthy looking and flawless hair.
However you style your hair, Wonder Balm will ease and speed up the styling process, giving you more control and better results that last longer. A miracle leave-in balm, to be exact, which helps give you (deep breath): moisture, shine, smoothness, definition, softness, light hold, high humidity protection and manageability.
But don’t just take our word for it – laboratory testing proves that Wonder Balm provides continuous protection from frizz and humidity for up to 72 hours. Just imagine, 3 days frizz-free. Perfect."

BEAUTY BIO
My hair is crazy-thick. Like, wild and frizzy and out of control. My hair wears me. I got it from my mama, who could get away with it in the eighties, but not so much now. I do not style it: repeat, I do not style it. I lazily chuck about a litre of hair oil into it from time to time, but otherwise I just throw my head upside down and rough-dry it for as long as I can be bothered. My untamed mane laughs in the face of most hair products; they do nothing. The usual "anti-frizz", "smoothing" things are simply no match for what grows on my head.
