Hi everyone :)
I recently changed my hair colour and as a result my hair regime has changed a bit so I thought I'd give you all the low down on how I'm keeping my hair pretty and in good condition!
(before the colour looking sexy in the hairdressers!)
First up here are some (embarrassing and posey) pictures of my new colour! It's not drastically different, my amazing hairdresser Brian bleached my roots and toned it for me so it's now a golden-sandy-ice-blonde haha! It's lush and my hair is so much softer and has so much shine. I loooooove it :)
The Tools:
My Denman D3
purple zebra brush. My dad always used to brush my hair with a
classic denman brush and I really don't think you can beat them in terms of performance and quality... the fact this one is purple and zebra print just makes it even better! ♥
My Diva Pro Hairdryer - reviewed
here! I've been raving about this for months and I'm not about to stop, I absolutely love it!
My hot pink Babyliss Three Barrel Waver. This was a christmas gift from Stew and I've only just really 'got it' - at first my hair was a bit 80's and crimped, then I looked like Kesha... now I've finally perfected 'Olsen Waves' and I've constantly worn my hair messy and wavy since!
Claire's accessories 'ponytail flipper'.. I bought this for £2 after writing
this post. I absolutely love it and you can do loads of styles with it! Best £2 ever!
Wide toothed comb - simple but so important! I use this when I've just washed my hair to prevent breakage and make blow drying easier :)
Washing!!
My all-time favourite shampoo and conditioner are the Liz Earle ones - reviewed
here. Other than those I just use a scalp and hair treatment and a purple shampoo...
The
Clynol Reflex Silver Shampoo is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to eliminating brassy tones from blonde hair. Two major plus points are that you lather it in and rinse it straight out so don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to do it's work like most other purple shampoo's, this then means your hair isn't dried out from leaving the shampoo on! It's amazing :) I'd highly recommend it to any blondies.
I reviewed the Lush Hair Doctor
here
For in-between days:
I reviewed Batiste Boho
here and the Tigi
dry conditioner is just incredible! It keeps my hair soft and silky and moisturised without the need for washing which obviously saves on heat damage. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Taming my tresses:
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm - I use this on my hair when it's damp to limit frizz when drying and styling. It's amazing and stops my hair being fluffy, frizzy and poofy. Instead I'm left with smooth, silky, frizz-free hair that smells lovely!
Clynol Animator Hairspray - I love non-aerosol hairsprays as they're more versatile and easier to control. This one from Clynol is no exception, it gives me amazing hold and my hair is SO shiny with no stickiness at all. It smells good and brushes out easily too ♥
A little bit of TLC:
I raved about the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Hair Therapy Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment (what a mouthful!)
here.
The
Clynol Caress does exactly what it says on the tube. Caresses your hair and helps to seal your split ends. The sealing 'action' leaves my hair so smooth and glossy that I'm a bit addicted to this now! i'm under no illusions that you can
heal split ends but sealing them helps to keep styles neat, tidy and polished. I can't get enough of this :)
What have you been using recently to keep your hair in tip top condition?
