Female SAS Australia recruits use a VERY surprising first aid item to tame their wild, frizzy hair while on camera and share their genius hack
Forget being thrown backwards out of a helicopter or being cursed at by ex-special forces soldiers.
For the glamour girls of SAS Australia, the biggest challenge of the hit Channel Seven show was taming their wild hair against the gruelling elements.
With no hair dryers, hair straighteners or styling products to call on, the celebrity contestants turned to Savlon, an antiseptic cream used on ‘cuts, scratches, blisters, grazes, windburn, sunburn, insect bites, cracked and itchy skin’.
They used what? Female SAS Australia recruits used a VERY surprising first-aid item to tame their wild, frizzy hair while on camera – antiseptic cream Savlon
‘The girls were into the medical kit to find something to get their hair under control and the only thing they could find was, and wait for it… Savlon,’ said one celebrity contestant.
‘Yep Savlon. Who would have guessed? It seemed to work pretty well from what I could tell. They massaged it through their hair like you would hair gel and it did the trick.
‘You have to remember girls like Bonnie (Anderson) and Isabelle (Cornish) are used to looking their best when on camera so they get pretty self-conscious when their hair is all over the show.

‘They are actresses. They want to look their best, so the Savlon helped. It stopped that big boofy look you get when your hair frizzes completely of control.’
The celebrity contestant said SAS instructors Ant Middleton and Ollie Ollerton had no idea the girls had infiltrated the SAS medical kit for vanity purposes otherwise they would ‘have had an absolute fit’.
‘That wouldn’t have gone down well. They were all about stripping the contestants down to the absolute bare basics so to think some girls were preening themselves with bloody Savlon of all things would have created quite a stir,’ they added.

Meanwhile, model and former Miss World Australia Erin Holland released graphic photos demonstrating the physical toll of SAS Australia on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old had dozens of bruises across her battered arms and legs in a series of confronting images shared with her 400,000 Instagram followers on Wednesday.
Erin sustained the injuries while filming Channel Seven’s military-style reality show in Capertee Valley, NSW, earlier this year.
‘THE AFTERMATH… A raw look at what a few days of selection looked like (plus a sore back from 90+ kilos on it),’ she wrote in the caption.
SAS Australia is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s 24/7 – so many tasks that can’t possibly all make it to air! SO much respect for my fellow recruits still toughing it out in there – it only gets wilder from here.’
Erin Holland was the second celebrity to call it quits on SAS Australia on Tuesday.
