Shoppers looking for a handy styling tool that can dry, shape, and smooth their hair all at once won’t want to miss Amazon’s most recent sale on the Shark SmoothStyle Heated Brush. The online retailer’s original price was $ 99.99, but now it’s only going to be cheaper, dropping the price to £49.49.

Amazon’s offer is among the lowest-priced in the market, surpassing both Boots and LookFantastic’s retail price of £79.99 and Shark’s sale price of £69.99. An all-in-one hot brush and comb that’s suitable for all hair types makes up the handy styling tool.

It can be applied to wet and dry hair to create “voluminous styles with a smooth, soft finish” without causing “heat damage.” Wet Hair Mode and Dry Hair Mode offer three air temperatures, while the dry hair mode will “smooth, align, and shape” the hair for a “weightless bounce.”

The Shark SmoothStyle is ideal for refreshing locks between washes because it smooths out any wrinkles while attempting to keep their hair from thinning for a few days before washing it again. When compared to traditional flat iron hair straighteners, the heated brush has a ceramic-coated comb that “softens dry hair with lower temperatures and produces a “soft, bouncy, healthy-looking” finish.

The ghd Rise Hot Brush, which is currently on sale for £139, reduced from £179, might be a good choice for shoppers looking to browse other hair styling tools. The 32mm barrel on this device “creates 2x more volume that lasts all day.”

The Revolution Haircare Mega Blow Out Hot Air Brush Set, which is currently discounted by 30% at LookFantastic, is a more affordable option. This “tutorial” hair dryer and styling tool costs £34.99, and it comes with six different attachments for endless looks.

490 Amazon customers gave the Shark SmoothStyle Heated Brush an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5. The hot air technology, which can tame frizz and add shine, and the three temperature settings, which are available to different hair types, are a game-changer, according to one enthused customer.

It’s simple to use and ideal for quick touch-ups or complete styling, but beginners might need some practice. Overall, a fantastic home option for sleek, salon-quality results.

The best hair tool I’ve ever used, another delighted customer said. This is another level above the others, which I’ve had with other very highly regarded brands. Because of the large brush barrel, which is similar to my salon hairdryer, this brush’s power and power gives you the salon blowout effect.

“I adore the hot comb between washes for days. Every time I use my hair, it actually appears and feels like I’ve been to a hair salon. Love, love, love, love. Useable and highly recommended.

However, they continued, “I’ll say it’s a little heavier than other hot brushes, but the quality is outstanding. Because the comb part gets hot, I might need a glove for that purpose.

The Shark SmoothStyle Heated Brush’s weight disappointed another user, who stated, “The brush was very heavy I found it very difficult to use, so I returned it.

Jo Whiley, a much-loved radio DJ and TV host, reveals that her life has been full of ups and downs this year.

After turning 60, Jo Whiley claims she is choosing not to slow down and that milestones on birthdays are “not a big deal.”

After posing in a colourful magazine shoot she insisted: “We should never say someone looks good for their age, we should just say they look good!” BBC Broadcaster Jo certainly does look good and tried out a variety of outfits before sitting down to speak to woman&home.

She remarked, “Another birthday isn’t a big deal for me because I don’t consider age to be important,” when she turned 60 this month. You genuinely don’t want it to be something, but it does because everyone keeps asking and focusing on it. Being only one year older than I was last year and one year younger than I will be next year makes for an odd situation. There is a desire to reach specific milestones in response to one’s age. I have no idea what to say because people focus too heavily on it.

You wake up the following day, have a birthday, and carry on. Nothing has changed since I’m running my radio show, working out, and taking care of the kids. People used to retire earlier than they do now, and the idea is now mind-blowing. “There’s probably a focus.

She continued, “Your body undoubtedly changes as you get older, and things don’t look the same. One of my biggest revelations is how your skin changes. I work out, which has grown increasingly important, but no matter how many weights I lift, I can’t get rid of the papery texture on my skin or the skin that hangs off my arms. Why was that not disclosed to me? Apart from covering up and wearing long sleeves, I’m not entirely sure what the solution is. I’m terrible at self-care and moisturising my body all the time, but I’m not good at that.

I have so many aches and pains, but I consider myself very lucky to be healthy. I have got arthritis, which is really painful, and my rotator cuff in my shoulder is hurting at the moment. I haven’t had any serious health issues – I get migraines sometimes, but I think they are linked to the stress and strains of living.”

The Radio DJ and TV host has also been dealing with some real highs and lows of family and work life recently, having fronted some of the BBC ’s Glastonbury coverage in June and launched a new podcast called Dig It with friend Zoe Ball.

But for the time being, she and her family have had to wrap their heads around some significant news involving her father, an ex-electrician.

Since 1991, she has been married to 60-year-old music businessman Steve Morton, who is also the parents of India, 32, Cassius, 26, and Coco, 16 respectively.

Jo stated, “It’s likely that the things that keep my feet on the ground are the same as what everyone else’s.” All of this is involved in dealing with parents who are getting older. I need to take care of my dad and support my mother because he just received a Parkinson’s diagnosis. You stay grounded in those everyday circumstances of life.

It was a good idea to get a diagnosis because we had been having a suspicion about something happening with my dad for some time, and we are now attempting to understand it all. He is still perplexed by the situation, which is still in its early stages. That helps you stop worrying about garbage and puts everything in perspective. In the real world, those issues will be handled by everyone. That’s true for my generation, which means having more obligations and people to look after.

She felt emotional after hearing about her father’s passing, and she frequently displays this side.

She explained that because of her sensitive nature, it’s difficult for her to hide her emotions.

It’s helpful to let us know how you’re feeling. I can’t recall a life without crying. I probably would if I could take a magic pill to stop myself and I would cried less. I will suddenly collapse for what seems like no reason because I cry when I’m tired.

Someone will inquire as to what is happening, but I’m just exhausted. I’ll cry while I’m driving or swimming if I don’t want anyone to know how I’m feeling, and I have to make an effort to avoid ingesting a lot of water! Sometimes, your life and head are so intertwined that the only way to move on is to let the tears flow.

The family unit’s alteration as her children get older is another cause of tears. Jo must now get ready for Empty Nest syndrome.

She said: “The whole ‘empty nest’ thing is becoming more of a reality. It was the worst feeling in the world when India left home and went to uni. I was in floods of tears dropping her off. Coco has got two more years at home and then she’ll be going off to university, and I’m already panicking about it. Any parent will know that impending sense of doom when you’re shopping for kitchen utensils and feeling like you’re doing a funeral procession around Ikea. The drive to uni and saying goodbye is awful, followed by the horrible feeling of heading home knowing they won’t be there. I do know they’ll come back, though.”

Jo turns 60 this Summer and still enjoys going out and about to music festivals, but it’s more up to her to enjoy the parties.

She continued, “Festivals are great, but our house’s ones are my favorite parties. They take place over the course of a weekend. It’s a lot of fun and includes DJ decks, lighting, and candles. About 40 of us visit the Super Sausage, our neighborhood transportation cafe, for a fry-up the following day. Then, in the evening, it’s back to ours for movies and a curry. I adore those weekend getaways.

Following the release of her memoir, Remember When: My Life with Alzheimer’s, Fiona Phillips’ husband, Martin Frizell, shared a video message from the former GMTV host.

A video message from Fiona Phillips has been shared by her husband Martin Frizell this week. It comes following the release of her memoir in which she opens up about her experience of living with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Former GMTV host Fiona, 64, announced in 2023 that she had been diagnosed with dementia the previous year. The Mirror columnist has since worked on the newly-released book Remember When: My Life with Alzheimer’s, with the help of Martin, 66, and journalist Alison Phillips.

Following its publication, Martin took to Instagram this afternoon to share a message from his wife, who’s said to forgotten that she was writing a book by the time they reached its final chapters. He posted footage of Fiona thanking fans for their support over the memoir’s release.

In the video, Fiona showed her gratitude while Martin and I were in a park. Hello!, she wrote in the message to fans today. I appreciate you reading my book. That was really nice of you. I’m hoping you enjoy it. Okay, bye”!

Martin, who stepped down as the editor of This Morning earlier this year, shared in the caption that they had been out for a walk. He wrote: “Out for a walk and an Almond Magnum on a hot London afternoon and some words of gratitude for all the kind folk thinking of delving into her book.”

His post received a lot of messages of support. Oh my goodness, your wife looks so lovely, someone wrote. Another person praised Fiona’s appearance as “so nice.” A third person wrote, “I love you both, and it’s great to see you.”

Someone wrote, “Thank you Martin for this Fiona video,” in the comments section. It’s so lovely to see her. Another fan shared their thoughts, saying, “So lovely to see Fiona outside in the sunshine. Martin, I’m thinking of you both. “Big hugs”

Martin’s post was followed by a different user’s comment: “Lovely little clip. I appreciate you sharing. While another person said, “Awwww, it’s lovely to see you,”

A host of celebrities responded to the post too. Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid: “Loads of love to you both.” This Morning’s Alice Beer said: “Congratulations to you both on getting the words on the page. I think you will really help the many many others in a similar situation.”

Following her diagnosis, Fiona stated in a statement that she wanted to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s. She added, “I hope this book can provide some insight into the challenges faced by those with Alzheimer’s.”

How frightful and perplexing is it. However, how much joy and value can still be had by life. And I hope this book comforts you if you or someone you love is just beginning Alzheimer’s. You are not alone, I tell you.

Four weeks after learning about her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J has acknowledged her struggles.

Jessie J has candidly revealed what she is struggling with following her mastectomy operation. The singer, 37, had surgery four weeks ago after confirming she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Now, after confirming no cancer had spread, the mum-of-one has admitted to what she is finding most difficult in her recovery period. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Jessie confessed she was heartbroken at not being allowed to lift her two-year-old son, Sky.

In the depressing update, the singer, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, stated that her feelings were “catching up with her.” She said that her hopes for the future and having the strength to lift her son are what are keeping her through.

She shared a number of rehashed photos of her and her son working in a recording studio on Instagram. It will be four weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday, according to the caption. I’m feeling well. Some days are more difficult than others.

“I’m moving well, but I’m still very sore, but I’m always getting more and more like myself.” It’s all catching up with me now, mentally. thus allowing for some passive observation. It’s undoubtedly a rollercoaster.

Sky has spent two weeks away from his Danish family so I can rest and get some physio. (And reorganize the entire house using my sister and my mother as my bodies), lol. My adhd and ocd are still in good health.

The singer continued, “I just want to hold him like this and spin around. I’m not allowed to pick up Sky for a few months. However, having my health and remaining here are only two more things in the long run.

“The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can’t wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. I love being your Mum Sky. I miss my boys.”

In the comments section, there was a lot of support for the sincere confession. While others claimed to be praying for the star, many of her followers reached out to her and said, “You’ve got this.”

The latest update comes a week after she announced the news that her cancer hadn’t spread by posting a picture of her son saying, “Mummy’s going to be OK.” And I’m okay, the results mean there’s no cancer spread, and I’m actually happy tears, she wrote in the post. Thank you for the joy, joy, love, well wishes, and general upbeat spirit.

“This video was made the night before my surgery.” It was called a boy. The darkness will never overcome you because you are my greatest source of light. There will still be some healing and more surgery to transform these cousins into sisters, but for the moment, I’m reviving my name to “The LopJess monster.”
