Product Review: Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner

Hello lovelies! 

My second product review is on the AUSSIE Miracle Mosit shampoo & conditioner! I'm not a big fan of Australia at the moment, due to the total whitewash of the cricket, however I am a massive fan of this Aussie! 

This is the first time that I've used any Aussie products and I picked them up at Boots before Christmas at 3 for £10, along with the Take The Heat leave in cream, however indivually price at £3.50 a bottle, or even cheaper at places like B & M for £2.99. Before buying any key products, I have started to my reading up on them and people said to buy a top product to increase hair condition and growth, so I thought I'd give it ago.

The first time I used, I realised with this product, a little goes a long long way! The smell of the shampoo is incredible the conditioner is a little bit stronger, however you can still smell it on my hair the days after washing it! I really enjoyed the quality of the shampoo, smell, colour (Nice golden colour) the luxury of the product is the best thing about it, everything is top quality! 

Okay, so the shampoo washed well,  however when I washed it out it felt dryer than it did before, but teaming with my Lee Stafford creme (I've reviewed this already, it's one of my favs!) and the Miracle moist conditioner my hair was in top condition! My hair dryed so nice and natural and quicker than it usually does, it feels full of moisture and packed with life! 

The best thing go about this product is that the shampoo actually really washed my hair perfectly,  it really feels clean! Some shampoos tend to clog my roots a little, then you get that heavy greasy looking texture the next day, with  Aussie as soon as you've washed it out you know you've washed it because it feels lightweight and clean!

I read on another blog that for good hair growth you should invest in quality products, they aren't overly expensive because they really do last a long time, I've used mine like 10 times and I'm probably not half way through yet! 

It keeps my hair looking and feeling lovely! I would definetely recommend you to at least this product, don't be but off by it being one of the most expensive on the shelf, because they tend to be on offer somewhere, but they last for ages! Go for it, just for the try!

Plaiting Hair, The Way Forward?

I thought that the days of plaiting my hair at night were gone, but NO. Plaiting is back.

Since starting my hair detox, plaiting my hair has literally become my new best friend, after I shower at night,  let my hair dry for maybe half an hour, so its still kinda damp. I separate it into four plaits and then just sleep in them, I take them out in the morning then hallelujah, my hair is kind of a nice crimped/soft wave. 

Having plaits in my hair at night means that I literally save half an hour every morning not having to straighten it or curl it. Im not a massive fan of wearing my hair up, especially at the moment because of my fringe is at that horrendously awkward length. 

By plaiting your hair, it stops any knotting at night, or any friction, this means the hair won't snag or break whilst you're sleeping, by not breaking, it will grow stronger, faster giving you longer hair. 

If you've read my previous blogs, you'll see that my hair was falling out, not drastically but I had started to notice more hair on my jumper, pillow, in my hairbrush, this was to do with the constant damage and stress I was putting my hair under by constantly applying heat and permanently dying it. Im now a month and a couple of weeks into my hair detox, and my soft wave is starting to become my new look. 

My initial four plaits last me two days, then on the third day, I separate them into two to sleep in. By plaiting, I'm not having to constantly brush my hair or apply any heat. 

I know it seems I'm going on about a little to much now, but i cannot rave about this enough, its totally free and saves you a whole heck of time! 

Hope this helps, if you plait your hair, do you recommend?

Top Tips For Hair Growth

Evening!!! 

So I'd thought I'd write a little blog about some tips for hair growth, everyone has there own hair type, so not all of them will work, so I'm just gonna tell you a few that have worked for me!

1. DO NOT wash your hair everyday! This is one for everyone, I know it sounds kinda gross, but there is no need to wash your hair daily. By washing daily, your hair will be stripped of natural oils, I'm not saying don't go weeks without washing, maybe 3 days, this gives your hair time to rejuvenate the oils for its healthy condition! It also stops hair from drying out!

2. Try not use heat. I know for most people this will be the hardest one to give up, it was definitely mine! I love my Remington's and GHD's, but I haven't used them for a month, already I'm seeing better condition of my hair and an increase in growth. If you do have to put heat on your hair, invest in a well recommended heat protectant; a spray, mouse or a serum. 

3. Eat plenty of protein. Hair is made out of a protein called Keratin, the more protein you eat the more keratin produce, therefor more hair growth. Ideal foods are; red meat, fish, beans, lentils.

4. Give it a little TLC. Treat your hair like a baby, don't brush it all the time, don't over do it, don't tie it back tightly or the hair will snap and break. Give it a little care, invest in a hair mask, or make a homemade one or a little massage to stimulate the follicles! 

Hope these 4 help, as I pick up more little tips I'll makes post them on here! What's your tip to keep your locks healthy?

Product Review: Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment

Evening all! 

So there is a power cut, so I thought now is a good chance to jot down a few of the products I've been using. The first one is the Lee Stafford miracle grow, I bought it from Boots for £7.99, as it's an average size pot and I thought I'd give it ago and if it didn't do anything I haven't lost out, I've seen many people rave about the product so I thought I'd give it a go! 

The product, as you can see is for hair that never grows past certain length, which is one of my main problems when growing out my locks, it gets to just below my shoulder and then stops, so that is my certain legnth, the product stimulates the follicle health, which should "anchor hair to the scalp" it also gives hair strength to grow! 

 

The instructions are to use an egg sized amount inbetween shampooing and conditioning, however I didn't want my hair to feel heavy, so I probably used about half that. The smell is fine, which is usually a problem with other growth products, however it makes my hair so smooth, you can instantly feel it. I leave mine on for roughly 3 minutes and have been using it every time I wash my hair, except for once where I missed it our and the morning after I noticed the difference in the softness. It does recommend to deep condition once every so often, but I'm not a big fan of this because of its a lot of faffing about with waiting for it to set. 

The tub is bright pink, which I love, it's a real stand out on the shelf and you can buy many other Lee Stafford which do different things, a growth range, poker straight etc...They also have an Argon Range, which I may try next. Along with the cream I am using at them moment they do a shampoo and conditioner but I opted for the Aussie miracle moist, which I shall be writing a review on shorty!

I can't really tell how much it's grown just because of the product, because as you will know, I have totally changed my hair routine, however if it makes my hair feel soft and if it boosts the growth a little bit I will be happy. 

By fertilising your follicles it provides a nice healthy enviornment, the pro growth treatment is packed with protein, which is ideal, because of your hair is made of keratin, which is a protein, the more you give your hair the more it grows! 

Overall I rate it a 8/10, as like many people I'll have to wait till it's on offer to buy another tub, because I suspect it won't last long, it makes my hair feel great and gives it a nice bit of volume!

Have you tried any Lee Stafford products? If so share what you think and how it's helped your hair growth!

Hair Detoxing

Hello lovelies!!

I thought I'd create a blog, nothing too serious, but just to create a blog. What's it about? Well, I've decided to go on hair detox, where I'm growing out my not so long blonde locks. For the past three years I've dyed my hair, I'm naturally a dark blonde but went lighter then darker then lighter then darker, bit indecisive I know, but I've always stayed with blonde! I tend to go lighter in the summer, as it tends to lighten more anyway, and then a Softer neutral colour for the winter months. 

After this summer, I decided to go for a little change, I had a full fringe put in for the next school term, for the first few weeks it was a bit of a  novelty, but after that I just hated it. I've had three cuts on it, to keep it out of my eyes, but now I'm just pinning it up.

I'm also used to straightening everyday, which obviously isn't doing it the world of good, I having to get it cut more regularly because of the recurring split ends, which is stopping any significant growth.

So...I'm doing this blog to show and share the rate of growth and what tips I've picked up and used, also any products that I'm using to improve the condition and growth.
