OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco

I've always used the Moroccon Oil on my hair which I love because it keeps my ends of the hair in good condition with less frizz and splits. This is quite pricey though at about £32.00 so I thought I would give a cheaper version a go and this OGX Renewing Argan Oil from Boots is only £7.35 for the same amount of 100ml.

Now, I have read good things from the OGX shampoo and conditioner from people such as Caroline Hirons and Zoella featuring in their favourites. So giving this a go was must.

Product Description: 'A unique, precious blend of Moroccan argan oil which helps to rapidly penetrate the hair shaft restoring shine and softness while helping to strengthen and create soft, seductive silky perfection.'

Again like the other Moroccon Oil I apply this to the damp ends of my hair.  I have been using this for a few months now and this does the exact same good job as the Moroccon Oil except the price is a lot better! You don't need to use a lot and so this will last a while. 

This will definitely be repurchased and take place of the pricey one!

Moroccan Oil

I have found a gem of a product here. A few years ago back in 2010/11 whilst I was studying hairdressing I went to Salon International in London.  Moroccan Oil was there and they gave out a goodie bag with a sample size of this. At the time I just put it to one side and never got round to trying it until recently (It wasn't out of date surprisingly and had a long expiration date.)

I have been missing out big time here! I wish I had used it sooner and as soon as I finished it I had to buy the full size product.

Moroccan Oil is 'A unique formula rich in antioxidant argan oil that instantly absorbs into hair to immediately enhance manageability, shine and deliver long term conditioning without leaving residue.' It also 'de tangles and 'speeds up drying'. It is alcohol free.

What made me decide to use this was that the ends of my hair still go quite dry and frizzy from the time I ombre'd it, so I wanted to put something on it to help and this was all I had really.

To use you only need a small amount, a little does go a long way, my miniature bottle lasted me ages and so this big one is going to last me forever too. Then apply it to damp or dry hair.

I apply this to my hair when its damp and it has improved my hair so much! It doesn't frizz when I use this, the condition just feels amazingly better and now if I don't use it I can tell the difference.  My hair is a lot softer and feels stronger. It doesn't make your hair greasy and absorbs so well. I can't really say I have noticed my hair speed up in drying but my hair is so thick that it will always take a long time. It does help with tangles too.

I bought this from Zest Beauty for £31.85 , I know this sounds expensive for a hair product but for all that it does plus how long it lasts, it really is worth it. I do recommend to give this a try!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Conditioner - The sleek restorer

I have come to the realisation that any bath/body/hair product with coconut in I LOVE. I think coconut has such an amazing smell which is weird because I hate coconut related food!

I only bought this because it had coconut in and the 'sleek restorer' part was just an added bonus to me.  I got this when it was only £1.50 too and this is such a good conditioner!

Garnier have 'carefully created' this blend with Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter. The Coconut Oil is 'India's original hair secret for smoothness' and Cocoa Butter from the Ivory Coast 'for it's nourishing virtues'.  This blend tames frizz and flyaways so hair looks smoothed and transformed.

Since using this my hair is alot smoother! I didn't think that was quite possible but it is! My hair looks so much healthier and smooth since using this and it smells so divine. This has to be my favourite conditioner at the moment though I have got my eye on the new Loreal nourishing shampoo and conditioner ;)  so this may change but it is a favourite.

If you have frizzy hair or want some added smoothness then give this a go! You can get this anyway from supermarkets, Boots, Superdrug, you are sure to find it!

Schwarzkopf got2b beach matt salt spray

I got this because I wanted the mermaid looking hair! Who doesn't? There was a few sea salt sprays to choose from and I wasnt too sure which one to pick but I chose this one as I see it advertised a lot and it was on offer. Plus the colours got me ;) You can get this is Boots for about £4.07 the 7p is a bit random!

This is meant to give you 'beach waves-mermaid style' and provide your hair with texture and a tousled finish without the crunch. You spray this on to dry or towel dry hair then scrunch or blow dry. I have tried this on both dry and towel dry hair and prefer the look it gives once I have applied it to towel dried hair.

 I was expecting great results from this but to be honest its just ok to me, I cant say it wows me. I have fairly long hair which is also thick and I think thats why I dont quite get the waves I want from this. The other downfall I am not keen on is that it does tangle my hair and hurts when I brush out even when using a tangle teezer!

It doesnt leave a crunch which is good and the little bit of look I can get from the spray does stay all day. All in all I probably wouldnt purchase this again but only because I dont think its suited towards my hair.

Have you tried any good seal salt sprays?

Loreal Elnett Heat Protector Spray - Volume

I am easing my way back in to blogging so thought I would start with something quite simple. The Loreal Elnett heat protector spray- volume. 

A straight and waves version of this is also available and these are £5.99 in Boots. I chose the volume one because I always want volume in my hair, masses and masses of volume lol!

Everyone I know or from what I have read online loves the Elnett hairspray and this is another great too from Loreal! I'm actually quite bad as I never really used to use heat defence but as I really like this one I have found myself actually using it (Yaaay for my hair :) ).

It has 'Advanced triple action formula: 

- Enriched with heat protect technology, an active ingredient known for its heat protecting properties. The formula leaves your hair shiny and feeling soft like satin.

- Helps create a voluptuous bouncy blow dry and locks out flyaways and humidity.

- Locks in voluminous style for up to 3 days.'

This sprays nicely onto damp hair and it does feel like it is actually protecting it. It doesnt make hair go greasy or feel heavy and it does give my hair some volume. I cant say if it lasts for 3 days as when I sleep on my hair I wake up with a Lion mane anyway.  

Have any of you tried this?

Loreal Hair Expertise EverRiche Mask Pot

If you read my tweets then you will know that recently I attempted to Ombre my hair at home.  This wasnt a good idea of mine and the bad thing is I knew what would happen but I did it anyway. I only have myself to blame! (My hair went ginger btw but I have managed to tone it down now) I dont think I will ever learn.

Anyway after I did the Ombre, it left my hair really dry, I have never have had my hair this dry before where it just tangles even after you piled the conditioner on! So I thought I needed to get something to help try and repair my hair back to its softness!

I bought the Loreal Ever Riche Mask Pot as I love their Triple Resit Shampoo, its my favourite! So I thought this would hopefully be good too.

This conditioner smells AH-MAZING, it contains Botanical Oils, Camelina and Apricot Seed. Its for dry to very dry hair and leaves the hair feeling nourished and helps to protect against dryness.

From the first application my hair was noticeably softer which impressed me and I am hard to impress lol! With each time its used I can definitely feel that my hair is a lot softer and it does not feel damaged at all now, which is great! :) I think its a good size too and the price is £6.99.

Again I need to rave about how good it smells lol, very relaxing!

I am really glad I went with the Loreal Hair Expertise EverRiche Mask Pot, Loreal's Hair shampoo and conditioners never disappoint me and I recommend this for anyone with dry hair especially from bleaching as it works wonders!
