Advantages: Cheap, easy to use Disadvantages: not the best results
a little longer than other straightners to work- with GHDs I have to go over each section of hair twice, with these it's more like four times.
The end result is free-free hair, definitely a lot straighter and if you use some heat protection spray it also isn't full of static too!
I don't think my hair is as poker straight as it can be when I use these but it is definitely an improvement.
I would reccommend these, especially because they are very reasonable in price so great if you're on a budget like me! They are only £14.99 and you can buy them from betterware on their website. ...
Advantages: Freshens and fragrances Disadvantages: Scent doesnt last for very long
I didn't even realise they still sold Shake n' Vac in the shops, until I noticed my boyfriend using the product at his, when vacuuming the house. I also noticed the rooms smelt more fragrant and fresher.
You may remember the advert which was remembered for the iconic dancing woman shown between 1979 and 1989.
The advert featured Jenny Logan dancing around a living room in high heels shaking the powder onto the carpet and hovering it up whilst singing a musical jingle. The main lyric is "do the shake n' vac, and put the freshness back".
In 2000 the advert polled 18th place in the Channel 4, The 100 greatest TV adverts programme.
The actual jingle from the advert is as follows: (This may jog your memory to remember the advert!)
Stale smells up here often come from down there, in your carpet.
Smells from your dog ...
Advantages: smells nice, freshens, cheap Disadvantages: doesnt last long
To be quite honest, I have always used something in addition to my hoover, to add freshness to my house. I tend to simply sprinkle fragrance oil sinto the filter of my hoover so add the fragrance to my hoover bag. I never actually found anything that would neutralise the smells which became stale within the carpet. We have all heard of companies that offer odour neutralisers. The most famous at the moment has got to be frebreeze. But to be quite honest, are they really worth the money you spend!?! Okay, so they work, and your house smells nice for a couple of days. But I always find that the smells come back. Then you do it again, then the smells come back. A week later, you have an empty bottle and have to fork out another £3.00 for some more.
I decided to try something completely old fashioned and tacky! Shake 'n' Vac. I remember ...
