You have to hand it to the clever people at Bumble & Bumble – they know good hair and the most fun way to get it. For summer, their brilliant Limited Edition Bb Bandball, £16, is back (it was a Christmas sell-out) and this time it comes in acqua, orange, yellow and taupe – all perfect shades for summer.

I’m already planning to stash it from my dressing table into my suitcase this year – and so should you. Not only will this tidy bundle of hair thingamajigs (their word, not mine) mean you never run out of things to tie your hair back with on the beach, but if you get bored of sunbathing you can use it to play a game of catch.
