This is something I thought some of you may be interested in . I have the full collection of this range and for the past couple of months I have used it religiously due to the amazing results and also the fantastic heavenly scent. Scent means everything to me , especially in hair products, If it stinks terribly then it won't get used again and so when the passion fruit aroma is whisked in my hair and stays there for a very long time , I feel better knowing my hair not only looks great but also the fact it smells pretty to. Using a Hair masque has only become a routine as of lately. I always thought shampoo and conditioner was all my hair needed , I just did not get the need to add more products . It was only recently , (would say about the past 7 months) I have come to understand that although shampoos were getting a lot better these days and making my hair look so much better , I suddenly realised that the problem that was not been sorted was the dull greyish look my hair has and the shine of my once was healthy hair had disappeared. Over the past few months , I have been trying so many different products and only very few have beaten the problem and this is one of them . ''The Intense Hydrating Hair Masque'' What they say about the Intense Hydrating Hair Masque- Silk Oil of Morocco Intense Hydrating Hair Masque is a rich blend of luxurious natural ingredients and the amazing Cold Pressed Certified Organic Argan Oil. This intensive Hair Masque deeply penetrates the hair leaving the hair revitalised, hydrated, nourished and easier to manage. Ingredients- Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel (Argan) Oil*, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Panthenol, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Ethyhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Allantoin, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil*, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice*, Phenoxyethanol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-7, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Root Extract*, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract*, Xanthum Gum, Ethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene, Linalool. *Certified Organic Application- It is advised to use a hair masque once a fortnight . Get a scoop of the Hair masque in your hands and rub hands together. Apply the hair masque evening in the hair by paying particular attention to ends of the hair and ensuring you cover the whole area. Leave to process for 5-20 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. Benefits-
Cost- £24.95 for 250ml Can be bought from Silk Oil of Moroccan I have to say that I have been using this along with their Shampoo, conditioner and also their heat defending /shine spray. The products can be somewhat pricey but for me , finding something that does wonders for my hair that is not filled with so many chemicals like - • Alcohol • SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), ALS (Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate) & SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) • Parabens • Mineral Oil • Linseed Oil • Lanolin Also the fact this is not tested on animals makes me feel better in paying for the extra benefits. To me , my hair is my biggest accessory and I try to take the very up most care in it's growth and well being. It is just like my skin, I want only what's best for it and only what will do good to make it appear healthier . It has been a month now since I last used the Hair masque , usually I will religiously do it once a fortnight due to my hair feeling a little dry or looking a little dull.
This masque on my first use has done amazingly. I think it proves it when I tell you I do not need to do my hair once a fortnight but once a month now. Having Argon Oil as its main ingredient along with Almond , Primrose, Shea butter, green tea, Macadamia and Vitamin E is the one treatment that you will need for your biggest asset. My hair is always looking so very dry even after 2 days from washing it and it can be quite a pain considering it takes me two hours to just wash , prep and dry my hair . I am absolutely in love with this masque and although it is a little pricey I would be tempted to get this again. I do need even need a lot of this product to get a coverage on my hair although only getting 10 -12 uses form the tub sets me back as a little pricey . This is my true miracle of hair treatment in hair masques. After only one use , my hair is left feeling amazingly smooth, I can not actually remember the last time , my hair felt to soft and smooth , I feel as if I am stroking my baby boys head and after living with very course hair for so many years it is total heaven to me. The dullness from my hair has gone from ash blonde to that bright highlighted blonde streak too which I have craved for for so long , I even tried dying my hair to get the effect and never got close so you can tell how much I am pleased with it. Another thing I have noticed is that my hair feels stronger too, My hair felt so stretchy and a little elasticated and I do not feel that any more especially after the 2nd application. My hair feels and looks so healthy now , the shine is restored, the colour is intensified and the strength is healthy again. I would totally recommend this to anyone , especially if you suffer badly with dry hair . Have you tried this product, what do you think? Let me know!

Incredible detangling. 8. Long-lasting hairstyle. 9. Split ends prevention. 10. Adds body. Recently I have been using separate products for shine, frizz, heat protection, conditioning, volume and of course on top of those a separate shampoo and conditioner. It seems ridiculous when you look at it, that is a whole 7 products just for my hair not incliding the perfume for protection too against pollution and UVA and UBV filters which is quite costly but I can not resist on keep treating myself to . Seeing a product that does everything in one bottle rings pound sign saving to me. Not only having less to buy but also decluttering my over run bedroom side table from the multitude of bottles that are building up in my very small space. My thoughts on the product- Price- First of all I was quite shocked at how much of a difference two stores were selling this for , Beauty Bay are selling it at only £7.67 where as Feelunique.com had it for sale at a staggering £13.99. Paying £13.99 would still be in a good price range for me but considering it is only £7.67 I find it an amazing bargain so have to grab two to keep stocked up in case that price goes back up again. The bottle is a good size and having a nozzle spray , it means this lasts a considerably long length of time even with hair like mine which is thick and very long. This product does do a lot of things that we would usually buy seperate products for and for me it is a good price for solving many hair needs in one bottle . I would pay the price again even if the price went up . Packaging- Receiving products in boxes always makes me feel better in my purchase. I do not know what it is with boxes, maybe its the feeling of being brand new and it is square so easy to put into drawers so does not look so messy . The design of the Uniq One is bold blood red with a lovely gold contrast. The instructions are clear to read and understand with multiple language options and the bottle feels very sturdy with the ability of dropping it without breakage. I was expecting a shampoo like product in the respect I would have thought that the lid would be taken of to pour the product onto my hair but in fact this is a spray nozzle top which is used on damp hair and left in . The bottle is easy to hold and the nozzle does not move around so you can use it in one hand, I am actually surprised that such a thick product can actually work through the nozzle so easily. Scent- This has to be my biggest love for this product. I opened up the lid and was greeted by an amazing heavenly aroma. If you do not like strong salon like scents then this is definitely not for you but wow , I am finding myself whiffing my hair ends in addiction or so to speak . The scent stays with you and your hair for days but considering I am using this daily,it may be why it is lasting so long . The only thing I can say is it comes close to is my most loved Neal & Wolf hair care, not quite as feminine, in fact I would say this has a musky male scent but also heavenly salon like just a little less pungent. Overall conclusion-
This is one of those in between products that make me wonder why? Honestly the consistency of the product is most certainly as thick as my conditioner , creamy and thick . I am honestly surprised that the creamy liquid can actually squeeze through the nozzle but it does and it works evenly without any sign of clogging it up unlike the thinner products I have used before. The thought of having to spray it on damp hair almost like a leave in shampoo / conditioner yet being a lot thicker had me a little terrified, I thought it would leave me with a greasy looking finish but once my hair is dry , I am left with weightless hair which was unexpected. I have to say that every step of the 10 effects listed are something I struggle with except for volume, I do not need help with that at all , lol, my hair lifts from the roots on its own. Just ask my husband, I am assured he will tell you my morning and natural look is that of Greek mythology Medusa, (just not as scary looking ) all over the place and plenty of volume . In more nicer words I have naturally big hair . I also do not have coloured hair and never will after the experience I had 6 years ago when I nearly lost all of my hair due to constant colouring,,,, beware ladies . I have been using this product on its own , the tons of bottles have since been put away for now and it is doing its wonders all on its own with no help from anything other than its own contents. I do not need to use hair sprays or heat protection, shine or frizz controllers, I am using one product and my hair feels better than ever. The fact that I am only using one product on my hair after washing is also that my hair feels lighter and not weighed down with the tons of products I used to apply each day. I feel confident that my hair looks its best with no need to style, straighten or curl , simply let the big hair that has now been shifted from frizz and dullness work its own bounce with a fantastic shine and healthy look. For me this has worked wonders on my long , very thick , course hair, it smells amazing, works tremendously on my thick hair so can imagine it doing wonders for those with finer hair and I have a shine I have not witnessed in my hair along with a blonder tone I once had . Very impressed with this and would recommend to all . I have never had trouble with achieving long , thick and full volume hair but this shampoo looked very interesting considering most shampoos I have tried that promise full volume and boost usually tend to make my hair just fuzzy . Using a shampoo that does not have sulphates to me is something I am not used to. I love a lather and although it is the sulphate that usually gives of the lather in a shampoo , I was expecting to have a very dry hair care experience. Sulphates have been shown to be bad for your hair though, it dries out your hair and making your hair look dull and if you have sensitive scalp then steering clear from them is a must . Having sulphates are a bad thing for some but for me , my hair works fine with them , especially as it gives me that desirable lathering bubble effect I absolutely enjoy . Who are Sexy hair , the brand? Sexy Hair is a professional hair care brand, they create products that aim to achieve a wide range of styles from Red Carpet glamour to Rock Star style. There are 9 different ranges, specifically formulated to suit and enhance different hair types, textures .
Need a volume boost? Try the Big Sexy Hair collection to add body, lift and volume to even the flattest of hair. Smooth away frizz with the Silky Sexy Hair range, glamorously packaged in purple, these products give you the silky soft hair you've been dreaming What they say about their product- Sexy Hair Colour Safe Extra Volumizing Shampoo creates thickness and volume while adding moisture. Cost- £6.36 Can be bought from - Beautybay.com
Tips: Can be used daily on thin, normal to dry and combination hair types for thicker-looking, fuller hair. Follow with Colour Safe Volumizing Conditioner. Ingredients- Aqua (Water/Eau), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Sodium cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Amyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Methylparaben, Glycerin, Panthenol, Citric Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Hydroxypropyln Methylcellulose, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Phytantriol, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract My thoughts on this product - Price- The price is most definitely affordable for all, it is actually surprising at how low cost this shampoo is considering the size of the bottle and the ingredients inside . It is cheaper than my usual shampoo and so I would buy this if I was on a smaller budget . Packaging- Simple plastic bottle with a press lifting lid to enable you to squeeze out the product. The deep red colour looks fabulous against the black lid but the bottle is covered from top to bottom in descriptions and contents and a little too much reading for me. Scent- I have to admit , since using the Neal & Wolf range , nothing has since ever come close, I simply have fell in love with the aroma that is given from it and although this is nothing like it I love it also. It has a lovely sweet citrus salon aroma and the ,lemongrass slightly comes through without giving it an overwhelming lift. Lather- Like I previously said before, For me when I wash my hair I love nothing but a brilliant lather, I expect to use a tiny amount on my long and thick hair that lathers lots and saves me using too much product therefore saving me on the pennies at the same time. This shampoo does not lather and therefore made me think I needed more on my hair than I actually used for the first week . I hate waste but I did not feel I could benefit using this shampoo without feeling it was covering every strand , not so fabulous in the lather but on the good side it does not have that sulphate which gives the lather , therefore it is better for my hair so I can excuse it knowing my hair is in better care and condition than before. My conlusion-
I am quite surprised with this shampoo, Although I do not like the fact there is no lather in this shampoo which I love , it had an amazing price range and the aroma is gorgeous . I can smell it on my hair three days later still which to me is fantastic especially as a lot of shampoos don't leave that fresh and clean scent for so long on my very thick hair. I also think that although my hair already carries volume it lacks in bounce and shine but this certainly helped with making it look bouncy and healthy . A little shine on my hair more than I would usually have but the bounce is amazing . It almost feels like I should be on one of those adverts doing the 'she's worth it'' shots , flicking my hair and strutting down the catwalk. I would definitely use this shampoo again , it has opened my eyes a little to the non sulphate shampoo line a lot more now. Have you tried this before, will you? Let me know . On my weekend away in Newcastle , I got to try a new brand that I had neither heard of or tried previously- Gilchrist & Soames ! Who are Gilchrist & Soames? Gilchrist & Soames have been offering spa, bath and body products for over thirty years and have been found in the most prestigious hotels, spas, and resorts throughout the world. I came across the range in The Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle alongside my stay last weekend and have to say I was very impressed with the luxurious look . Not only that , but Gilchrist & Soames is based in Indianapolis, Indiana and Peterborough, England. The company is wholly-owned by Swander Pace Capital, San Francisco. Gilchrist & Soames are proud in safeguarding themselves in using nature friendly ingredients in their philosophy from measuring and reducing their carbon footprint to studying their ingredients, impact on soil and water to creating more recyclable and less wasteful packaging. I love how they say that they vow to talk the talk and walk gently. This brand most certainly prides themselves in offering the highest quality products, an emphasis their love for their nature friendly products. You can find them here - Website So lets take a look at what I have to share with you today- London Jet Set Travel Pack Cost- £10.00 Contents include-
My thoughts on the products- Ok so I thought I would share with you a small review on these products . London Shampoo- Ok so I love nothing more than a London Based brand, this shampoo has a fantastic lather and expensive feel to it but the smell is not so . My hair is left feeling nourished and not left feeling dry . For being a small bottle it certainly was a generous size and I got two uses out of it with my very thick course hair . Conditioner- The conditioner feels a lot more luxurious than the shampoo in my opinion. The scent is slightly more subtle and to my liking, it feels more manageable after use. I did find that I had to use more of the product than I would usually use with other conditioners but the result left me with hair feeling soft and conditioned. Body Lotion- The body lotion is something I am loving to use, it has a very light feel to it and soaks well into the skin. My skin is very thirsty and soaks it up immediately . I love how soft my skin feels afterwards , almost like silk and there is no greasy or oily feel to it afterwards. Shower Gel- The shower gel is fabulous. I usually go for a shower gel that is citrus in aroma but I love the clean, fresh and soft scent that comes from this shower gel. It lathers up very well and my skin is left feeling clean and nourished after use. Soap- I have to be honest , I am definitely a fan of little mini soaps. This soap is certainly very adorable in size but the amazing lather that you get from it is something I was not expecting . It smells very clean and my skin is not left dry like I would normally have with soaps, I actually feel moisturised also . My conclusion-
First of all , the fact that this is a travel kit is one of the reasons I have not yet tried them before , mainly for the fact , I do not or rarely travel . This set was left complimentary by the hotel and I am pleased to have been able to try it. The shampoo and conditioner is something I am not overly excited about but I think that finer hair would benefit more from this duo as my thick hair was a little more untouched by it compared to when I tried it on my younger children's fine hair. I love the lotion although a little thin for me , but it is perfect for my elbows and knee areas where I tend to get the dry patches sometimes . The shower gel was also a star for me as well as the soap , left me feeling very clean and fresh and for me these were the highlight of the set which I would recommend buying in full sizes. The price is affordable and ideal especially for those who do travel and are in need of an essential set like this . I would buy this if I were to go away and would also be interested in trying a larger size in the spa sea collection. Have you tried this brand before, what do you think? Ok so we all know how important it is to own a good hairdryer, especially when you have long thick hair and hate the tedious hair routine of washing and styling it . For me my usual routine is to wash my hair and then spend half an hour drying it . Not only does it take up so much time but it also gives me arm ache holding it for that length of time above my head , it is so tiring and in fact I hate the thought of having to do it especially when I have to do this at least 3 times a week. Last month I received the new Ego Evolve hairdryer in the post and was so excited to get it open and give it a try that I immediately ran to the bathroom , washed my hair and pulled it form the box. I thought I would share with you my thoughts,,,,,,,,,,, First of the Ego Evolve is quite pricey if you are not used to paying a large amount of money for a hairdryer and is priced at £115 on HQHair.com . Here is what they have to say about the Ego Evolve- This more advanced version of ego professional's famous ALTER ego hairdryer features all of the original's best bits but now sports a range of settings. ego professional Ego EVOLVE Hairdryer allows you to choose from over 144 combinations dependant on your desired style, with 12 adjustable settings to change the speed, heat, coolshot and conditioning to help you achieve any style you like from a voluminous blow dry to shiny soft waves. All ego professional styling tools feature their favourited HW2 Technology which contains a naturally occurring mineral-laden earth Hwango and Tourmaline from the Red Pine Forest in Korea. Excess water is evaporated by negative ions reducing your drying time whilst giving hair a healthy shine with every use. Features:
Watch the quick clip demonstrating how Kala Kilshaw (the founder of Ego Professional) shares her love for the Ego Evolve. My thoughts on the hairdryer- Price- As I previously said, the Ego Evolve is a little on the pricey side, but if you are looking for a hairdryer that does everything including, drying, conditioning and styling then this is most certainly for you. The Hairdryer is beautifully presented from packaging to the product itself and for me that is important as well as doing what it actually says it does. The fact that this hairdryer takes me only 5 minutes to dry my hair from soaking wet to dry in a short time is an amazingly 25 minutes less than the average hairdryer I have previously been using . It is a saver not only in my electricity bill but also on my aching arms . Being a mum I need all the time saved possible and this is why I would pay this price for the Ego Evolve. Packaging- Now if you are like myself, then you will keep your products in their original packaging for as long as possible, meaning I like to keep my things tidy and looking neat. I hate the fact that in my previous years of owning corded products, the wires are unresponsibly wrapped around the handles and put on the side . Not only is this messy looking but also ruins the longevity of the product causing the wires to loosen from the product and break . I love nothing more than a solid box to store them in and the beautiful box supplied with this hair dryer is stunning. On my first impressions, I opened the box to see a very luxurious Plum purple embedded box. It had a lovely flip top lid which had a magnet close top . If you know me well, you will already know my love for purples and so this made me smile even more. The Ego Evolve- On opening the beautiful box , I noticed the the hairdryer in all its glory staring at me. It certainly looked very professional and I loved the contrast of blended red/plum ombre effect from the nozzle to the black hairdryer itself. The feeling of the Ego Evolve is almost velvety, it has a gorgeous feel for holding and for me I struggle with the heavy hair dryers yet I find this light on the wrists and easy to handle. The lightweight hairdryer has a fantastic set of settings that can easily be changed whilst holding it with only one hand. The LCD screen is visible and bright and you can see the display clearly. It shows the outgoing temperature, five speed and heat settings and a tourmaline conditioning shot which is perfect for those who have thick or even fine frizzy hair like myself. The Ego Evolve is perfect for all hair types fine and thick and I have used it on my thick hair and also my children's baby soft fine hair. The thing I love about this hairdryer is that even if I have been using it on its highest heat, I can instantly place it safely back in its box as the nozzle does not get hot to touch so I do not have to fear leaving it on the side where little hands can be burned from it. I have fell in love with the look and the effect this hairdryer has on my hair and am so pleased it is now in my reach. The fact that it has shortened my drying time but also gives that amazing healthy looking shine to my hair without adding products is amazing and I feel confident this is going to be used regular with no worries of breakage any time soon. You do receive the ceramic infused diffuser but I simply do not use them for the look I wear although I have tried it for the purpose of this review and as you may understand, I have only a slight wave in my hair but it is straight so does give me volume . This would be perfect for using with those who have lovely curly hair . My conclusion-
There is nothing I can say bad about this product what so ever. I love the packaging, style, adjustability, speed, professional feel and the fantastic tourmaline feature. I do think the average person would begrudge paying £115 but I would definitely recommend it to everyone, this hair dryer most certainly does give you that Alter Ego. Have you tried the Ego Evolve? Let me know what you think. |
