WANT SLEEK, SHINY, SMOOTH HAIR?!

Do YOU have

FRIZZY

UNTAMEABLE

HAIR

with NO VOLUME????

Well cross those things OFF your list because I just found the solution to all of your problems ;)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

••• Intensive Moisturising Treatment/ Hair Mask •••

Mark Hill MiracOILicious 2-Minute Intensive Treatment with Moroccan Argan Oil

••• TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Shine Spray •••

••• A Volumising Mousse •••

TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse

••• Moisturising or Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner •••

TRESemmé Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry or Damaged Hair

••• Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil •••

••• A Silicone Brush •••

(If you're like me and can't live without your Tangle Teezer you can use that a little bit too)

HOW TO DO IT:

••• STEP ONE •••

Start off by washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner of your choice.

For this I am using the TRESemmé Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner because by moisturising your hair, it becomes sleeker and smoother.

I will only add a dollop of conditioner and then add around a small scoop of my Mark Hill 2 Minute Intensive Treatment for extra moisture.

••• STEP TWO •••

Next, towel dry your hair carefully, and comb through lightly with your brush.

Then spritz on some of the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Shine Spray evenly to all of your hair.

••• STEP THREE •••

While the Heat Protectant Shine Spray (which is one of the key products in this) is setting in your hair, apply a mousse of your choice.

My favourites are the Lee Stafford My Big Fat Root Boost Mousse Spray, and the TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse. I will just shake it and distribute a generous amount to my palm and massage it into my roots and the crown of my head, where I feel it goes flat the most.

••• STEP FOUR •••

At this point, you can just add a small walnut-sized amount of Moroccan Argan Oil, just as the finishing touch. 

I like adding an oil in as it 1) makes your hair smell nice, but it also contributes to making your hair feel super silky and soft.

••• STEP FIVE •••

Blow drying! What fun!
While blow drying your hair you want to make sure you get it super straight, so I suggest you get someone else to do it for you with a brush, and the nozzle pointed down.

But if you are going to do it yourself, just be careful, and it might help to turn your head upside-down.

THE FINISHED

LOOK

*****************

My hair has a bit of a natural wave in it that I quite like so I didn't use a flat iron.

But yeah! No frizz, just sleek, smooth, shiny hair!

Hope this helped <3

BYE

MY MARCH FAVOURITES (!!)

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!
Okay, I need to calm down.
SO since it's April, I NEED to do a March Favourites (!!) (That's the title by the way, which includes the (!!) bit)
I have so many things to rave about, from beauty products to books and movies and yeah... I need to start or else I will start randomly talking like mad. So here goes. MY MARCH FAVOURITES (!!)

Left To Right:

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm "Audacious"

Essie "First Timer"

Essie "Find Me An Oasis"

Mark Hill MiracOILicious 2 Minute Intensive Treatment

Soap&Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream

TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse

Toni&Guy Casual Flexible Hold Hairspray

I was in Watsons the other day, and spotted this at the Revlon counter.

Having seen so many bloggers and beauty gurus talk about this Lip Stain I decided to give it a go, I really wanted to get it in Whimsical, which looked like a really cool colour, but instead I settled for this lovely hue - Audacious. 

It's a rather bright orange, which I love, because it looks bold and daring, yet sort of simple and elegant and natural at the same time. 

Essie "Find Me An Oasis"

This is currently my favourite polish of all time. 

I liked the colour. I like Essie. It was perfect.

Enough said.

It's like white, yet not white enough, but not blue either. It's like it's in two different places at once, because it doesn't belong here and it doesn't belong there. It's just like me!

Essie "First Timer"

I went out looking for Mint Candy Apple, and came home with this little bottle of polish.

I really like this green....

Okay, this is enough. I just LIKE THE COLOUR, so I do not NEED TO EXPLAIN why I bought it. So that is why I love it :) Ha.

Okay, let me warn you, that if you like sweet smells, then scroll right past this to the next product, because this is NOT FOR YOU.

After getting used to nice flowery scents, I thought that this one was quite strong and overpowering, but the smell doesn't matter.

This product WORKS. Just take some of the squidgy substance and "work it" all over your hair and leave it in for - get this - 2 minutes, and your hair is more hydrated, moist and ALIVE.

buy it.

Okay, now this product is definitely for you sweet-flowery-scent loving people.

I got this because I saw that Zoella and Tanya Burr were using it, and also because when I was googling it, it got super good reviews, so I picked it up in Sephora for $25.00

Let me say, it's amazing...

The packaging is AWESOME, I mean Soap&Glory, I just want to buy everything they make because of the packaging, and the way they phrase things.

I've mentioned this before, but if this is your first time reading my blog, then I have to say I have eczema, but not super serious eczema, just sort of medium-scale eczema. If you search it up it looks horrible, and I feel so bad for all those people who have super serious eczema, because I know how hard it is to heal.

So, this product is super moisturising, and fragrant at the same time, which is a huge bonus, because you feel awesomely hydrated and also fragrant, you just feel as if you need to smell yourself all the time.

*Note - If you have sensitive skin before using skin products like this always test it on a small patch of skin before slathering it all over yourself, just to make sure you don't have a reaction*

 The TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse.

I was a little weary when I picked this up, as I needed a substitute as my Lee Stafford Mousse had just run out, and I just decided to pick this up.

When I first used it I think I put too much on, as I felt like my hair was constantly sticky, and the berry smell was overpowering, I didn't like it at all.

So the next time I washed my hair I put a little less on, and the stickiness went away! Voila :)

I actually really like this product now, as it gives my hair more volume and texture, and more of a matte feeling.

So far TRESemmé is living up to my expectations!

Last but not least, Toni&Guy's Casual Flexible Hold Hairspray.

I always had this in my collection, but never really used it, as I never really tried extreme styles that I needed to be in place the entire day. 

So one day I just saw it standing in my bathroom and I was like "Eh, why not?!"

So I spritzed it all over my hair and scrunched to create texture (which probably could have been done with my T&G Salt Spray now that I come to think of it) and then created a really pretty messy side braid (which I WILL do a tutorial on, seeing as my boho braid was a little bit of a fail)

Love this product as it doesn't make my hair "crispy" and allows "lightweight control with movement".

BEFORE I GO I HAVE TO SAY:

I have also really been enjoying reading! Nerd.

Right now I'm currently really enjoying the Divergent Trilogy (by the ever so talented 25-year-old Veronica Roth), and I look forward to seeing the movie soon, Looking for Alaska by John Green and Wicked by Sara Shepherd, which is the fifth (I think?) book in the Pretty Little Liars series, because Season 4 has just ended and I need A to keep me in suspense!

Also loving my new collection of Neon Sharpies, and other colours that I bought yesterday :)

And I also know now that I am actually super rubbish and critiquing things, and explaining stuff like this. Ha.
