A hair and beauty expert from Richmond has been named blogger of the year.
Grace Brewster's blog, graceandbraver.co.uk, was set up three years ago after she graduated and was picked from hundreds to make the shortlist of the top 10 up-and-coming hair bloggers.
After amassing more than 4,000 followers and taking writing on as her full-time job, Miss Brewster's blog was voted the best in an interactive Twitter poll launched by Hairtrade.
The nominees were chosen based on their high quality hair content from innovative tutorials to entertaining video blogs.
Miss Brewster said: "I was extremely shocked to win Hairtrade blogger of the year as the competition from the other bloggers was strong. I am so grateful to Hairtrade for shortlisting me and to all that voted for me.
"I have only been blogging since July 2012 but now it’s my full-time job and I love it. Now I have Hairtrade accreditation under my belt, I hope this can open up new opportunities my blog.
"It’s a great confidence boost and has inspired me to take my blog to even further levels."
