  • Hair hacks: how to tame your mane

    An hour on hold and you still didn't bag that hallowed appointment on April 12? Fear not, we've got the do's and don'ts for forlorn locks until you can hand over to the pros

  • Go Tache! Don’t forget Movember

    We won’t see many people apart from the bin men this month, but we can still support our favourite causes. November is men’s health month and Muddy's here for it.

  • 5 of the best hair masks to buy now

    Split ends up to your ears? We've found five quick-fixes for treating neglected locks - and to stop your hair stylist from screaming when salons finally reopen!

  • Greys, begone! 5 root touch-ups

    Step away from the home dye and try one of these fast, effective and affordable root touch up kits to get rid of your greys (and stay in your hairdresser's good books).

  • J’adore/ J’abhor

    It's Movember, the month when blokes grow moustaches to raise money for charity. Turns out the Muddy crew have VERY mixed views on men's facial hair. Where do you stand?

  • J’adore / J’abhor

    This week's Muddy heated debate: whether or not to embrace a full head of grey hair. Eeeek! or chic? We duke it out.

  • Shopping centre stunner

    It's not just about the frocks! Oxford's Westgate sorts nails, hair, brows and make-up in one fell swoop. Here's where to head for the beauty treatment.

  • Do blondes have more fun?

    Well, there's only one way to find out! Muddy heads to The House of Klamer in Beaconsfield to make like Marilyn.

  • The Popham treatment

    Oxford hairdresser David Popham worked with Vidal Sassoon in Sixties London - so he has five decades of cutting experience. Yeah, I think I'll let him loose on my hair!

  • Ready for a chop?

    Can a fringe really knock 15 years off your age? Lead me to Anne Veck salon in Bicester, I'm about to find out.

    Hidden Secret

    Not any more! This Kidlington salon is one of the few places in Oxon offering Great Lengths and KeraStraight treatments, PLUS Guinot beauty. Shall we?

  • Pink hair – would you dare?

    Our intrepid Muddy reporter tried out rose gold hair at Amersham's Gatsby & Miller. But was she in the pink?

  • Ooh, new hair?

    Novelist Clover Stroud is highly promiscuous when it comes to hairdressers. Will an eco-friendly, super-stylish Faringdon salon win her heart?
