Product Review-Lee Stafford hair care

Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Coconut Spritz 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Lee Stafford, I came across their products a few years ago when I started dying my hair. When I saw that they came out with a new range, I went into my pocket and bought the range. I've fallen in love with it and decided to review it.

Good Afternoon! I am ever so sorry that this has taken a VERY long time to post, around a week or so now! I had been back from France not even a day and I was seriously ill. I'm still in the recovery process; but I'm now able to obtain the strength to write! If you want to know what I was suffering with please let me know and I will give you an insight on that in more detail :). Any how, how have you guys been? Summer been good? :).
As you may know I LOVE reviewing great products! And I have been dying to review this hair product for a matter of days now! But here it is! If you want to know detailed information about this product and if it's for you, then have a little read down below :).

MY HAIR TYPE:

Profoundly, my hair type is smack bang in the middle! Not too thick, not too thin, but this really does depend. For example, if I was to cut my hair really short my hair would be immensely thick, but my hair being rather long it thins out ever so slightly; which I love, especially in the summer as my hair doesn't drown me too much. On the other hand, my hair is quite dry on some days, and with the British Summer being intense it's done some damage to my hair; and traveling to France didn't help either. In terms of my hair appearing greasy it's pretty much non-existent, this week was the test as I wasn't well enough to wash my hair ... I went 5 or more days without washing it, and it still appeared dry, my mum said, "have you just washed your hair, it looks clean?". I was utterly shocked and honored in a strange way, that I could not wash my hair and it still looks good :'). 

PACKAGING:

Stunning! The champagne rose gold bottle is enchanting, it appears refreshing and reminds me of an innocent rose. When you look at the fine details, the name 'Lee Stafford' and the dog logo was rose gold; this interlinked with the pink bottle and showed me that Lee Stafford cares about what his packing looks like, he wants it to be consistent. In a consumers perspective it gives me a good first impression, if something looks good I have the expectation that the product inside is going to be just as good; which in this case was a massive YES!
On the other hand, I love that the bold text is in the significant hot pink colour; this is what Lee Stafford always uses on his other hair products. This is the only time that Lee Stafford has updated his packing, and that was for the CoCo LoCo edition, in my opinion I really like the change, I feel like he should do this for new ranges. For example, if he bought out a new range for just thick hair, he should have a separate colour for that, it easier to catagorise, especially if he did it for all hair types.

THE PRODUCT:

In regards to this product, it's fantastic and let me tell you why. Like some spray in hair conditioners they weigh your hair down, and make it appear greasy. Whereas this one is light, and no matter how much you spray on there it doesn't look greasy. It also smells extremely refreshing, it feels like I'm smelling a real coconut. I hate it when I buy a hair product and it smells fake, or the scent is too overpowering; whereas the CoCo LoCo has a slight smell of real coconut, which is nice when you are spraying it on your hair, simply because it's not intense.
On the other hand, after you have applied this to the hair and brushed it in, it leaves your hair silky smooth and reduces the chance of getting split ends. This is because pure coconut oils have been placed in this bottle, not only is it natural but it gives the best results. It also strengthens your hair, I have noticed this over the past month using this product. 

THE PRICE:

Fundamentally, this hair product retails for £5.99! This is fantastic! I was utterly shocked, simply because I've never seen anything so low priced in the Lee Stafford collection. And after seeing the results this gave me I stocked up on another one of these and gave it to my boyfriend ... He's obsessed with it! He loves the smell, as well as his hair being damage free. For £5.99 you get 150ml, I have been using mine for a month, and I apply it to my hair at least 4 times a week! And I haven't even gone through half the bottle yet; completely worth the money in my opinion!

This is the end of my blog post! I'm ever so sorry that this took a while to post! Everyone does get ill from time to time, and this time it knocked me down for well over a week! 
I hope you enjoyed this blog post though! You will be seeing me again today or tomorrow! A little adventure and advice blog post will be up, as well as a VEGAN RECIPE!
Enjoy the rest of your day, I love you all so much! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

DISCLAIMER: I am not being paid by Neal's Yard to write this review, I have been a dedicated customer and fan of their products for some time; this is just my opinion. 

Good afternoon! How are you all and what have you been up to today? Have you seen my blog giveaway? If not then click here!
I thought that it would be great to do another Neal's Yard product review, simply because I am a massive fan of their products; and I want to recommend something worth while to you guys :).
If you want to know detailed information about this product, and what I think about it; have a little read down below :).




PRESENTATION:

In regards to the presentation, Neal's Yard never fail, a beautiful glass bottle is perfect, it makes me feel that my money has been spent well; in comparison to a cheap plastic container. It also makes me feel that this company cares about the fine details, the glass container being one of them; Neal's Yard make sure that their customers are always satisfied; throughout their store, online and products. In addition to this, they have kept their blue theme, this ensures me that this is a Neal's Yard product their royal blue band is worn load and proud by the coconut oil. They have also kept their splash of white shade within their packaging as well, this interlinks with their pasty fresh coconut oil; it makes it feel fresher. And it also tells me that Neal;s Yard want to make sure that they are being consistent throughout. Which in a customers perspective is fantastic, I adore the fact that they pay attention to these details; other companies wouldn't put this much time and effort into this. 
On the other hand, the glass jar makes it convenient, as it's easy to put anywhere, as well as this factor, the screw lid jar ensures that no coconut oil is escaping! It's air tight and completely secure; which is fantastic because I'm such a clumsy person. 

VERSATILE:

  • Can be used in food:Coconut is a perfect substance for butter, I have tried coconut oil out to make pastries and it has worked! I have yet to put that recipe on the blog :). It's super healthy and delicious. Coconut oil is enriched with lauric acid, this builds the immune system by fighting bacteria, and creating a hostile environment for viruses.
  • Hair treatment:
    Coconut oil is an extremely rich substance, the natural oils within the product help repair damaged hair, and strengthens new hair; so that won't become damaged. This has saved my hair, I used to pick and pull my hair because I was so nervous (Trichotillomania); I'm so thankful and lucky that I came across this product. I have tried other coconut oil, but it only makes my hair feel greasy and not nourished like this one. 
  • Nail treatment:
    If you bite your nails, have weak of frail nails use this product! The same oils that repair my hair repair you nails as well! It's amazing! It makes them grow so much faster, and they look stronger and healthier! I used to bite my nails for years; but stopped because of braces; but they were still so weak and frail from the years of neglect; since using this holy grail product; they have never looked better :).
  • Make-up remover:
    When I first bought this, I wanted to see if it would act well as a make-up remover, and by hell it did! Oils remove make-up like a dream, and this sure did! I had heavy full face make-up on at one point, I simply applied this to my face and rubbed it for 3 minutes; I then washed it away with water and it was gone! It even removed the eyeliner from my eyelashes! 

ABOUT PRODUCT:

Profoundly, excluding the multitude of health benefits when you use this in food, it's an outstanding beauty product.For example, the organic virgin coconut oil is a raw and natural source from the environment; because it's been processed without heat, it's been able to hold a mass amount of nutrients. Theses nutrients are what repair hair and nails. For example, when using this for hair, you apply it before you shampoo; this goes deep within the several layers of hair; it brings your damaged hair back to life.  

PRICE:

When I tell you the price, you will be just as shocked as me, (IN A GOOD WAY); it's only ... £9.00. Oh my gosh, £9.00 for 300 grams! It's a mass amount of product,  I have had this for 1 month and I have barely made a dent! I use this everyday for my lips, nails and for taking off my make up! Which by the way is fantastic! Coconut oil is the perfect make up remover; as stated above! 
I would say this would last maybe 6 months to a year! £9.00 in this time frame is fantastic! You are buying into a fantastic brand, they don't test against animals, and their products are all organic and natural; what else do you need? :D 

If you are interested in buying this product, click the link below, it's completely worth it:


Thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it, I sure as hell loved writing it! I have been wanting to write about this or so long, but I wanted to test it out for a while so that I could be 100% truthful in what I was saying. For example, I wouldn't want to say it does this and that without trying it out myself. 
I love you all so very much and I wish you a very good evening! Tell me what you get up to on my social media below!
Like always, stay tuned and stay safe Little ones :) x x x
