John Freida Frizz-Ease Miraculous Masque Review

Hey Everyone!

Okay, so I'm guilty.  I love styling my hair and 99% of the time it involves heat.  Heat really doesn't do your hair any favours, especially when your hair is thin and overall pretty weak like mine.  I'm big on trying to treat my hair with indulgent products to repair my hair from any heat damage.  Heat protection, deep conditioners and intensive masques are constantly on trial with me.  So when I seen a sachet of John Freida's Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque in Tesco for 66p, I thought I would give it a try!  If you already use this or want to give it a go, the full size tub is also on offer in Tesco for £4 instead of £6. 




First things first, for a sachet, there is actually a lot of product in this little packet.  It has lasted me 2 uses but could last for 3 if your hair is shorter than my own.  

The products formula is quite thick, rich cream.  It reminded me of thick moisturisers, kind of like a body butter for the hair.  It contains Milk Protein, Avocado Oil and Vitamin E.  You just apply it like a regular conditioner, focusing particularly on the ends of your hair.  I then left it on my hair for about 5 minutes.

After I rinsed and dried my hair I did notice that my hair was noticeably softer.  It felt silky and glided through my hands without any tangles being found.  I also noticed that this helped reduce flyaways in my hair, which I've actually been struggling a lot with recently.  

I think I'm going to pick up the full size pot and trial it for a little longer.

But as for the sachet, I did notice a difference with the softness in my hair and I really enjoyed using this product.  It felt really luxurious in my hair and made my hair feel really light and weightless.  I also think, even from the photo below, that you can notice an extra shine to my hair. 


Have you tried this hair masque?  And what are your other favourite hair masques for weak hair?  Let me know and I'll take a look!

Until next time!

Natural Beach Waves (No Heat)

Hey Everyone!

So today's post is something I've never done before...a hair tutorial!! Seen as it is summer now, I don't like to spend as much time on my hair, make up ect, I like to get outside and soak up some rays!  This hair style is basically beachy messy waves and is so easy to do it is unbelievable.  Let's go ahead and get into my favourite summer hairstyle!

So first things first, jump in the shower.  This hairstyle works best if you start from towel dried hair.  As soon as you come out the shower pat your hair dry with a towel and don't even brush through it.  So you should have something as lovely as this;



You want to combing through your hair with your fingers, if you use a brush you will take out the natural waves.


Next is the secret ingredient, Sea Salt Spray.  I'm using Awaphui by Paul Mitchell which you can find more about here.  I love this Sea Salt Spray, it gives such a nice texture to the hair and helps create those fabulous beach waves for this look. It also holds the waves really nicely all day.  I also really love the smell of this product, its so refreshing and perfect for summer days. 


So I'm just spritzing this through my hair evenly.


And scrunching my hair to help those beachy waves develop.



The final step is just waiting for your hair to dry, it is that simple.  


For an extra beachy, Hawaiiany look I like to add a flower into my hair for the ultimate summer look.  I got this flower from New Look for £3.99.




So that's it for this ultra easy, super simple hair style.  I dare you to give it a go.

Popband Obsessed

Hey Everyone!

I decided to share my recent obsession with you...

I don't know if you guys have ever heard of them but I recently purchased some popbands.  Popbands are a soft hair ties that are 10x better for your hair than regular hair bobbles.  There soft and gentle on the hair and don't leave the dreaded 'kink' in your hair afterwards.

Another thing I love about them is that they are so so cute so they look great on your wrist as well! I always like to have a spare bobble on my wrist in case of emergencies and lets admit it, they're not the prettiest things.  I have been in countless pictures with scabby old hair bobbles on my wrist but popbands completely eliminate this problem.  Some of the popbands even have cute little charms on them which look fabulous in your hair or on your wrist.

With so many spectacular colours and patterns, there is a popband for everyone! I must admit I'm pretty determined to have them all...

I definitely recommend checking out their website and their latest summer collection popbands at http://thepopband.com/

Just a few of the many popbands available
