The best dry shampoo

 

Hello!!

 

I wanted to let you know about the best dry shampoo I have ever tried. Herbal Essences have recently launched the clearly naked line which are all paraben and colourant free. I haven't tried any other products from this range yet but my oh my, the dry shampoo is the stuff of lazy girl, haircare dreams. The smell is amazing. It's really minty and fresh, a bit like spraying a mohito in your hair! It's completely undetectable in the hair with no white patchiness at all, it does a really good job of getting rid of greasiness too. It's been on offer in most shops recently as it's still new so I'm planning on stocking up and would suggest you all do the same!

 

Hope you enjoyed today's post. I have a couple of slightly different things planned for the near future that I'm really excited for so keep a look out for those!

V05 rave

Hello!!

First off, it's been a little while since my last post and I did plan to have something a little different coming up to finish off my top 5 series but sadly I couldn't manage to put it together how I'd of liked so I'm gonna give it a miss for now. Today I thought I'd do a little rave about a brand that has been creeping it's way into my life one volume boosting product at a time. V05 have fast become my favourite hair care brand and I'm gonna run through a few products that I think give my barnet all the va va voom it needs.

First up is the V05 miracle concentrate elixir with argon oil. I got this bottle ages ago when hair oils were just starting to get big and it has lasted me ages. While I don't think the ingredients are great and it probably won't actually treat the hair it does leave it feeling really smooth and soft and that's good enough for me. I mostly use this as a finishing product after I've styled my hair but do sometimes use it on wet hair too and both work really well.

The give me texture instant oomph powder does exactly what it says on the tin. Whenever my hair's feeling a little bit flat I just shake a bit of this in and my hair is left big and bouncy! I find less is definitely more with this one, I have been a bit heavy handed a couple of times and been left with hair that feels a bit questionable but a little bit in in the roots and it's completely undetectable. Big thumbs up from me.

The Plump it up dry shampoo has been a regular re-purchase of mine for a while now. It's the only thing I reach for when my hair's not looking as squeaky clean as I'd like. Not only does it mop up any un-wanted greasiness but it also adds loads of  volume which makes my hair look like it's just been washed. It doesn't leave much of a residue ether, once it's been worked in a little bit you can't see it at all. I honestly use this most days and it makes managing my hair a lot easier.

Next is the high volume hairspray. I've mentioned this one in a post before which you can read here. Basically this hairspray has managed to win me over when no hairspray before ever could. It's great at holding my hair in place but is still light enough to keep my hair feeling soft and bouncy.

That sums up my little V05 rave. I love everything I've tried from them so will definitely keep you posted with anything else from them that catches my eye. It's a very reasonably priced range that's nearly always on offer in Superdrug so you can afford to go a bit wild and try out a few things. Hope you enjoyed today's post. I'm hoping to get back to being regular on here so keep a watch out for a new posts coming soon.

Top 5 hair treatments

Hello!!

Today's top 5 is gonna be hair treatments. This is gonna be a mixture of masks, leave in conditioners, oils and everything else that I think helps keep my hair in tip top condition.

5. So first up is the Arbonne sea source fortifying hair mask. Arbonne is  always a little bit of a luxury for me and this mask is no exception. I only use this when I really want to treat my hair. It leaves my hair feeling really soft and nourished without weight it down. You'll probably be able to tell that there's not much left in my bottle but I'm convinced there's enough for one last treatment and I'm savouring it.

4. Next is the V05 miracle concentrate elixir with argon oil. I'm planning a post soon declaring my love for V05 because I really think they've brought out some amazing products recently and this one is no exception. I like to use this as both a finishing product on dry hair, or on post wash hair when it's still damp and it works really well for both. I know ingredients wise this probably isn't actually nourishing my hair but it makes it feel nice and smooth so it keeps me happy.

3. Next is the Herbal essences beautiful ends leave in conditioner. I've been using the herbal essences conditioners for ages now and I really like all of them. They're the kind of product that I really miss when I haven't used it, my hair just doesn't feel the same. Of course like all herbal essences products it smells amazing and who doesn't want amazing smelling hair!!

2. The penultimate product is the body shop coconut beautifying oil. Technically this isn't just a hair product but that's the only way I've used it so far. I massage it through my hair and scalp about 15 minutes before washing my hair and I can tell a massive difference since using it. It leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth and I feel like it nourishes the scalp too. I'm looking forward to seeing  what else this can do.

1. Number 1 is something that I've re-discovered recently and have fallen back in love with. This is the Lee Stafford treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length. (bit of a mouthful) While I've never noticed that this product actually made my hair grow, it does seem to make it a lot healthier. I absolutely love the smell off Lee Stafford products, they remind me of being about 13 when every one went wild for his polka straight heat protector. You can literally smell this in your hair until the next wash. I would definitely recommend this product for any one wanting to get there hair in it's best condition and who knows, maybe if your persistent you might actually end up with lock that Rapunzel would kill for!

So that's all for today. I hope your enjoying this series so far. I've got a few more top 5 posts planned which will becoming soon.
