Loreal EverPure care system

I don't generally like being negative about products, but it narks me when certain products get a huge praise by the big blog world, and then I try it and feel completely let down by the hype.

I bought the Loreal EverPure no sulphates care system, in Sainsbury's when they were on buy one get one free, I'm glad because if I'd of payed £13.98 (they are £6.99 each) for something I disliked, I'd of been even more narked!  

Having bleached limp hair I chose to buy the Colour Care & Volume range, I knew the main one that had been blogged about would be too heavy for my hair and would make it greasy.

I was so eager to use this and washed my hair with it the same day around 1pm. After washing my hair it was really fluffy (I put this down to the fact I hadn't straightened my hair), but all in all it felt very soft. By 10pm (9 hours post wash) my hair had started to look oily, and limp, I had no volume in my hair and my ends were now frizzy.

Determined not to be disappointed I tried it again a few days later, this time I was going out with my boyfriend, so I had straightened my hair, and it was looking half decent. However after a few hours my partner commented on the fact my hair looked really fluffy at the ends, when I looked in the mirror, again my hair was lifeless, fluffy and really oily at the root, and this was just in a few hours. I was seriously disappointed. 

Obviously I can't comment whether my hair has improved in strength or quality, due to the fact I haven't been able to use it on a regular basis. 

In general I do like the shampoo, and when used with a different conditioner it works really well, I think in fact it is the conditioner that had made my hair oily, and fluffy. 

Overall I'm really not a fan and wouldn't recommend, it has also put me off trying other products from the range, and I honestly would only purchase them if they were on offer to try avoid wasting my money. 

Sorry for the negative post guys!

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance.

Aussie has always been a range I've never really tried much from, it's available in the supermarkets but is a bit more pricey than other supermarket brands. 

However I was looking for a leave-in conditioner that would help to detangle my hair, I came across this. I remembered I'd used a friends shampoo before and that it smelt SO good! So I decided to get The Miracle Hair insurance, as I felt it would give the most protection to my weak hair.

The smell was still incredible, and it lingers on your hair all day, I spray this a few times on towel dried hair before I brush it, normally giving it a few minutes to help detangle my hair and prevent further breakages. 

This is a really nice and affordable product, and since I have purchased the shampoo, and conditioner and enjoyed using them too. I did buy the 3 minute miracle but it weighed my hair down too much so ended up giving it to a friend. I'm really pleasantly surprised by the Aussie range it all smells so good, and I have noticed  difference in my hair since using it. My hair is slowly but surely getting a little bit more healthier. 

Miracle Hair Insurance doesn't weigh down my hair nor does it make it greasy at the root. I already have repurchased this product in particular twice, and I'm still keen to try more from the range. It is around £4.99 for 250ml  from most drugstores, and supermarkets so won't break the bank either! 

The only thing I recommend is not spraying it near any wooden or laminated floors as it makes it soooo slippy! haha! Another Bambi on ice moment for me!

Timotei Pure

I've been searching for a good clarifying shampoo for a while, most overly strip my hair and leave it looking so dry and coarse. I recently saw in Tesco that Timotei and re-branded and launched a range using 0% Parabens, Silicones and colurants, even better that one was aimed to be more clarifying and was for normal/greasy hair. (My hair is very oily at the root)

Ever since purchasing the Timotei pure Shampoo I have been in love, it makes my hair feel really clean and fresh and I am no longer having to wash every day, BONUS! 

One thing I love about this is that it's eco-friendly instead of buying a new bottle each time you can buy a refill pack which is 67% less packaging.

I then saw that they had a dry shampoo something I use nearly every day, so instantly snapped it up. In terms of making your hair look and feel refreshed it is fab, it also smells incredible, I think this is down to the pure green tea extract in both products. It's a much finer spray then any other dry shampoo I've used before, so doesn't leave a white cast, so in terms of masking my darker roots it's not so great (maybe would be quite good for darker hair colours though).  

I haven't tried the conditioner purely because I'm happy with what I'm currently using. This range is seriously such a great find! I'd recommend to anyone who does struggle with oily roots.

It is also very affordable!

Phyto 7

Another day another hair product I've fallen in love with. I know I only recently wrote about how much I liked the Kerastase Ciment Thermique. However this product isn't exactly the same,  it is marketed as a 'hydrating day cream' and seems to be aimed at people with dry to very dry hair. 

My hair naturally is quite oily at the roots, but I have noticed as the seasons have started to change my ends have gotten really dry and frizzy. 

Although the Kerastase has been good at physically strengthening my hair, it doesn't do a great deal for dryness, particularly as it allows you to still use heat.

I was really surprised by the consistency of this product, I expected with it being hydrating to be really thick, however  as you rub it between your hands it is very light  and almost water like,and it doesn't weigh my hair down or make it feel greasy.

It's also a leave in product, so no fussy putting on and washing out 10 minutes later.  

I also love the fact that it is full of natural products. 

I can't say anymore good things about this! It is really amazing, and has beaten my frizzy ends' butt! 

It is available from feel unique for £13.50, which is I feel is reasonable for something that isn't full of nasty sillicones (it has 7 natural ingredients) and actually does the job!
