What I thought:
I found this to be a really light moisturiser, which I prefer. I hate feeling greasy especially in these summer months. It also does not have an overpowering scent which I like its light and fresh. It does leave my skin feeling really hydrated. A bonus is the pump, I love any product that has a pump!

The next items are the Haircare Detox Plan:
What it says on their website:
This is the essential plan for a hair full of health. It includes the Detox Antifrizz Conditioner and the Detox Refreshing Shampoo that completely detoxifies hair from silicones and sulphates. Together they create synergies in each of the stages of hair growth, improving the health of the hair follicle and preserving fibre as it grows. The shampoo provides a gentle wash with refreshing ingredients that reduce itching and irritation like natural menthol. The conditioner incorporates a natural polar rose matrix technology that combats frizz and protects the fibre from external agents. It’s time to show off your healthy mane!
The keys:
1. Completely eliminates the dependence of silicones and sulphates making the hair last longer clean.
2. Improves the structure and health of the hair with repairing agents and antioxidants like rooibos tea, organic coconut oil and horse chestnut.
3. Blocks moisture, fights frizz and enhances brightness thanks to the complex of polar rose and apple cider vinegar.
What I thought:
I have really thick waist length hair which I have mentioned in previous blog posts so I definitely need something that will tame my hair which can be really prone to friz! I actually used this after a swim, as I thought that this would put it to the test, as my hair feels at its most dry after the chlorine! I loved both these products, they really left my hair feeling clean and smooth without weighing it down!
You can currently find their products Here, there is a UK version of the site available very soon. This is one that I will be keeping an eye out for!

I also loved both the shampoo and conditioner, I liked how the shampoo bottle size is slightly larger than the conditioner, as I always get through shampoo faster than conditioner

Redken Hair
I was kindly sent some Hair products from Redken to try out. I have long thick wavy hair that can look a bit frizzy if left to dry naturally
They sent me the shampoo and conditioner from their diamond oil range, the all soft mega mask, the wind blown diamond finishing spray, and finally the one united all in one multi benefit treatment spray.
Firstly the shampoo and conditioner. The packaging is really pretty but nice and simple which I like. The cap is also easy to open. As I have found this this be an issue in the past with some products especially when you have wet hands! The shampoo was a lot thinner than I expected it to be so it ran out the bottle very quickly. Because of this I wasn't expecting it to be lather up very well but I was pleasantly surprised it really did lather well. I always wash my hair twice so I did the same with this if felt very clean and smooth. The conditioner was again a little more runny than I expected it to be be but it left my hair feeling smooth and fairly knot free which for my long hair is a good step!
I think I was most impressed with the mega mask this really left my hair feeling really smooth and more manageable. I'm not sure of the scent it reminds me of coffee creme which I have to say isn't my favourite for my hair. There is a marking on the bottle where to press to dispense the product it seems that there are two separate products in the bottle that combine as they are dispensed. I thought this was a different idea.
I used the all in one treatment on towel dried hair. This smelt a lot better this is a really fresh scent hat did linger on my hair for a while after. I think it did make my hair more manageable and less frizzy. In low dried it as I normally would. My hair did feel really soft and smooth and the leave in product didn't leave my hair feeling weighed down or greasy like some products can do. So this is a positive from me.
The hairspray again is really nice. Depends on the style I am looking for. For general use I think this would bre great. It's not as strong hold as some I have used in the past so I think it would struggle with some up dos but I do have a lot of hair to hold
Overall these are great products I will definitely be looking out for more in their range
Hope you all have a great weekend

Hempz Haircare
I have been trying out some hair care from, Hempz over the last few weeks, I love trying out new hair care products as I feel that mixing things up with my hair care does seem to make more of a positive difference to my hair.
It's a thick formula you don't need much but you do gotta put in a little work to get a good lather, but it does really leave your hair feeling very clean! Its definitely worth the effort This plus the separate conditioner makes my hair feel great so far. It makes my natural waves look nice and feel soft even with my color treated hair. It made it more manageable which is something that I always want out of a conditioner especially
The scent is lovely and fresh and does last a long time
The only criticism I have if any is that the bottle is kinda hard to squeeze every last drop out, but its not the end of the world the shampoo and the conditioner over all are both lovely products
You can find their products HERE

Salon Science Haircare
The lovely people at salon science sent me some of their items to try from their Repair and Radiance range
I have long waist length thick hair and I have put it through the mill a bit. Between blow-drys and straightening it it can become a bit dry!
The first product is the Re correct Leave In Conditioner. First off this smells amazing, I can actually smell the product for quite a bit after using it. I am a bit skeptical with some leave in conditions as I think they can weigh your hair down and make it look greasy. This was fine though it left my hair feeling great. I only used it on the mid sections of my hair down to the ends and it did leave my hair a lot more manageable and less frizzy. which is a great plus for me especially at this time of year!
Next I have the shampoo and conditioner this is a lovely lilac colour and it smells just as lovely as the leave in conditioner. I really like both of these products, the shampoo lathered up really well and the conditioner left my hair feeling silky smooth.
I tried their Smoothing Serum from the same range. I used this when my hair was damp I only needed a small amount, again I don't like products that will weigh my hair down. I then blow dried my hair as normal and curled it. The curls were lovely bouncy and glossy, it did stop the curls going frizzy which can happen once my hair has been curled for a while.
The final product that I tried in the range is the Thermal Cream. I think that this has to be my favorite item. I always try to use some sort of heat protectant on my hair and it nearly always has some sort of heat applied to it. This was brilliant the spray is really good leaving a fine mist which helps to evenly distribute the product. Again it smells amazing and did leave my hair feeling soft and kept the dreaded frizz at bay!! Hopefully this will help to protect my hair to.. It seems to be doing a good job.
You can purchase these from Boots, I have added the links below:

Lee Stafford Hair Care
'If the Earth is not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers'
What is it:
“Protein based complex to fertilize your follicles, creating a healthy environment on the scalp to help hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential"
How it works:
Hair goes through a natural cycle. Each strand is unanchored from it's root every 1-3 years. If you're lucky and your hair has a long cycle (3 years) the hair will grow longer than average. But if you feel your hair gets to that point (usually a couple of inches past the shoulder) were it stops growing then your hair has a shorter life cycle. This treatment prolongs the anchored phase to promote hair growth. To help this, the mask conditions the scalp, soothes dry/split ends and strengthens hair at a cellular level.
Lee Stafford were kind enough to send me some of their products to try. They sent me 3 products from their hair growth range. Now this is something that I don't really need help with I have never had a problem growing my hair. It's always been long it is currently down to the bottom of my back. But I do think this is brilliant at conditioning long hair like mine
The first thing I noticed with this product was the smell it smells amazing. It was similar to the macadamia nut oil treatments I have used in the past. It is such a lovely smell and one that lingers for a long time.
It left my hair feeling very soft and conditioned. My hair can get a little dry and frizzy especially with he hot weather that we are having at the moment.
This is a lovely product would defiantly try more from their range, one that is more tailored to my hair type
You can purchase these here from boots they are currently on offer with 1/3 off!
