Hi guys!
I haven’t done one of these posts in a very long time! I think the last one may have been when I first started dip-dying my hair… Anyway, lets get into the products that I am loving at the moment!
Bleach London Rose Collection;
Surprise surprise, these products are still up here! I have been dying my hair the rose shade for a good 18 months solid now, and my hair is still in such good condition, but I will discuss that in a little bit more detail below. The Shampoo and conditioner are great! They are perfect for when I don’t particularly have time to dye my hair but it gives you a lovely rose hue. You have to leave both on for approximately 5 minutes each ideally (It’s perfect for lazy washing your hair in the bath, whilst watching Youtube videos!). The dye is lovely. I generally leave it on for roughly 30 – 45 minutes depending on how bright I want the pink to develop. Highly recommend wrapping yourself up in tinfoil… Trust me. I also love the dye because it doesn’t leave a horrible smell in your hair and it also leaves your hair feeling pretty soft as it almost feels like a conditioner when you are applying it. All in all, I love these products as I can purchase all three for roughly £18… I do believe that Bleach are currently altering their colours, so I think I may have to go over to their Fuschia dye moving forward, as their Rose has lost its pink tint in my opinion.

Schwarzkopf got2b Happy Hour hair spray
I cannot tell you how long I have been using this hairspray. I think I found it by accident… Anyway, it is super cheap, at £3 a can. It smells incredible, literally like sherbet and not that horrible acidic hair spray smell that other sprays have. I only use hair spray when I am curling my hair, even then it is sparingly. However, this is a perfect product for my hair as it is super light weight and brushes out really easily.

Dry Shampoo:
Now, as an ultimate lazy girl who loves a good life hack, dry shampoo is a fundamental part of my life. My hair takes a good hour to blow dry and even longer to leave to dry naturally, so I have to really commit when I’m washing it. But honestly, some days it just isn’t feasible, and I certainly can’t wash it prior to work or if I have to go out too early in the day. With this in mind, I have had a stable favourite dry shampoo for a good few years now, and that is Not Your Mothers. I tend to bulk buy this when I go to the US, or generally when ever anyone I know is going I ask if they can bring me some back. Yes, I can get it on Amazon (see the link below) but I am not willing to pay over £20 for a single can when I pick them up for $4 a can! So I’m always desperately searching for a way to make four cans last 12 months. It’s safe to say that I was super excited when I heard that Soap and Glory were bringing out a hair care range. I have always loved soap and glory products so it was guaranteed that I was going to be checking out their hair care. Let me introduce you to The Rushower (see the Rush Hour pun there, one of my fave films). This is the closest UK equivalent that I have found to the Not Your Mothers one. It doesn’t dry my scalp out of leave any of that awful white residue on your scalp. At a maximum of £4, The Rushower is definitely becoming a firm favourite. I have just checked the Boots website and it is currently out of stock…

Violet Shampoo (and Conditioner):
Being a natural, and partially fake blonde, I am constantly looking for a way to try to take the yellow tone off it. I am currently loving the slightly more ashy tone on myself with my pink tint, so I’m heavily into the violent shampoo trend. The first one I started using was the Avon set, and it was definitely a winner – it has kept my hair such a lovely, warm, ashy colour. Here we are again at the launch of the Soap and Glory hair care range. The range also includes a violet shampoo, do we see what’s going on here?! The Avon one definitely does a good job, but I did notice a massive difference in my own natural colour after using the N-Ice and Bright product once. My hair is not dyed all over and I do think the Avon system struggled more with lightening my natural colour which is more of a dirty, dark blonde. I have also been using the Soap and Glory Wonditioner. Both Soap and Glory Products have, what I call, the typical Soap and Glory smell, which makes them even more appealing to me.

Honestly, if you are a blonde, natural or not so natural, or even just someone with curly hair I would highly recommend these products to anyone!
I’m intrigued, what are your favourite hair care products?
