Don’t worry, for glossy, gorgeous hair that’s just asking for someone to run their fingers through it, just follow these top tips from celebrity hairstylist and Head & Shoulders brand ambassador Melissa Brown before your hot date and you’ll feel like a goddess on the fourteenth. Melissa is one serious hair guru and has attended to the tresses of Dannii Minogue, Amanda Holden, Myleene Klass and Kelly Brook to name just a few, so we’re in good hands.
