Kerastase Discipline Shampoo Review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Kerastase, I purchased this product with my own money. I needed to find a new shampoo for curly thick hair, and this worked it's magic.

Hello and welcome to another review! I've discovered a new love and of course I wanted to share it with you lovely people! What are your plans? I've just finished watching stranger things season one! Oh my gosh I'm obsessed, if you haven't seen it, watch it! Season two is coming out in October, I can't wait! Anyhow, if you adore hair products, (and your hair is way out of control), you will love this!

THE PACKAGING:

As you all know by now, I'm a packaging addict! If it looks pretty I'm suckered into buying it ... I know it's a bad trait, but I can't help it. Come on though, it's rose gold! Where have you ever seen rose gold shampoo packing? I can guarantee you've never seen it! If you have you'll understand why I'm obsessed. Anyhow, I find the matte bottle and shiny rim around the lid so elegant and eye-catching. It beats the typical colour scheme of: blue, white and red. Kerastase is highly innovative, and their packaging reflects how well their products perform, believe me I've been using their merchandise for a number of years; and I've always been impressed with the quality of the design and the performance. In addition to this, I love how they've maintained the same font, simply because you can differentiate their brand from all the others, as well as keeping their sophisticated image. They are consistent throughout, which makes not only me, but their loyal customers devoted to the brand; too big of a change and it can make people run in the other direction. On the other hand, Kerastase colour co-ordinate hair type, for example rose gold is for curly thick hair, whereas dry hair is an emerald green. It helps customers remember what colour to go for, instead of reading the small print and getting confused and impatient. I think that's enough about packaging don't you think? Let's move onto the performance! 

THE PRODUCT:

Here to the main event! Does it actually work? From all the positive connotations, yes it does work, but I don't know if it'll work for all hair types. From my perspective I have exceedingly thick hair, to the point where I have to get my fiance to brush the back; it actually hurts my arms. For a while I was using Kerastase damage shampoo, and I enjoyed it, but the formula was too dense and didn't distribute as well as I's hoped. So I went back to the drawing board and tried something new, which is why this review is being written. Let me just say, Kerastase really nailed it on the head with this unruly hair shampoo! It's creamy in consistency, and the lava level is out of this world! It's reaches to the scalp and the ends of your hair, it feels squeaky clean and smells beautiful! Although when I saw the bottle I was sceptical, simply because it wasn't very big in comparison to my other shampoo package. But a little really does go a long way, which is fantastic. I've owned this product for just over two months, and I haven't even gone through half; I wash my hair 2-3 times a week, so I'm not going easy on the product either. I believe that by the end of October it'll disappear, and yes I'll be repurchasing the same shampoo, it works well for me, so why not.

THE PRICE:

Now the dreaded price, something that people hate. Is it a lot of money? You can make the decision based on: how much you need the product, and how care-free you are with your money. You earn it, purchase whatever you fancy. I purchased this from my local hairdressers Stonehills, and retailed for £18.60; which is the same price online. Now some people may say, wow that's a bit excessive, in my opinion, no. I was searching for the perfect shampoo that could really clean out my hair, and reduce frizz, this product does that 100%; it makes it easier to brush when soaking wet and damp, (which Chris loves). In addition to this, as mentioned previously, it's lasted me over 2 months, and I haven't even used up half of the product. If this is too much for you there are plenty of drugstore shampoo's out there, Aussie is a great alternative; but I do prefer my Kerastase to be perfectly honest.

It'll be in the advice category, and I'm also planning on making a YouTube video as well; so keep tuned for that! I hope you have a wonderful day, I will see you Little Ones tomorrow! I love you all so very much! x x x

My experience at Greys

Salon experience at Welwyn Garden City Greys

Hello and Good Evening Little ones! How are you all? I've been filming and typing away today, just about to head out to dinner, but before I do that I wanted to tell you how my experience was with Greys yesterday. Some of you may be aware that I'm in the process of dying my hair grey balayage, it's going to take a few more goes but the process yesterday was fantastic ... You hear some horror stories on the internet, and this isn't one of them' time to spread some positive. If you are planning on getting your hair dyed and don't know where to go, then have a little read of this.   

Check out my recent blog giveaway click here!

Where do I start? The consultation? Yes ... Consultation! I was on my lunch break (only get 30 minutes) and I was researching where to go, didn't want to go to Stoneshills as last time was awful-I'll let you know in another blog post if you are interested.
Where I live there isn't much, but a BUNCH of: hairdressers, coffee shops and charity shops, so I seeked out Greys and went in there. I'm a very anxious person and get nervous when booking appointments, but as soon as I went in there, they greeted me with a warm smile and started a casual conversation. I told them what I wanted and they booked me a consultation right then and there! My hairdresser Claire walked me through the process and stated that it would take a few goes for my hair to turn that colour ... Which I thought was extremely helpful! She also did a skin test, and took a piece of my hair and showed me what colour it would go, again I hadn't even given her a single penny and she was treating me like royalty. Right off the bat I knew I was walking into the right place. It only took 10 minutes, I even had time to finish my lunch and visit my boyfriend, (we work in the same shopping centre).
Two days before I was due to go to my appointment Claire phoned me and said, "would you like to come in earlier, as you have thick hair". Of course I said yes! I was so excited! And I was so happy with the service as she actually thought about me, and offered if I wanted to go in earlier ... I was falling in love and was so content and I hadn't even had my hair done.

It was time! I walked into Greys at 12:00pm and Claire was there waiting for me ... I love people who are dead on time, I have so much respect. Me and her clicked, it felt like I had known her for years, the conversation was constantly flowing, I didn't feel awkward at any point. There was a point where I told her where I worked, which is a phone shop, and she was actually a customer at the phone shop I work at. Because I really like her, I thought that I should give her my friends/family discount .. I really hope that she comes in a day that I'm working, just because she's such a lovely person.
In terms of her work, she did an amazing job! Just watching her looking after my hair, and making sure that what she was doing was perfect was amazing. She never left me alone at ANY point, she was always there to make sure that the dye wasn't on for too long. Something that Stonehills was awful for! I went there a few months ago, and the "top" guy left me on my own, I had a massive panic attack thinking that my hair was falling out ... He left me for an hour on my own ... With BLEACH in my hair ... You can see why I wanted to change.
Anyhow, when it came to washing my hair she did it so gently, nearly made me go to sleep! She also used hair products that I wanted to buy; so it was like try before you buy. Claire was just amazing at her job, so lovely and kind! She's been doing her job for over 10 years, and damn my hair looks amazing because of her!
I was so thankful, and will always be! She's going to be my staple hairdressers for a while! I have another appointment booked in with her in Feburary, and I can't wait to see her again, and the team! They were all so attentive and kind ... I don't mind paying extra, simply because I get the service alongside.

I would highly recommend this salon, if you don't mind paying a little extra then you will love the experience. I had the full package done, dying my hair took a very long time ... 4 hours, and Claire made the experience amazing. To keep my attention, and a conversation flowing for that long on both behalf's was fantastic.
I hope that the team in Welwyn see this, you are all so lovely! Wouldn't mind working there myself!

Anyhow! This is now the end of the blog post, I hope you enjoyed reading this! I sure loved writing it! I hope you all had a lovely day, I will see you again very soon! I love you Little Ones! Stay safe and stay tuned :) x x x

Product review-OGX Shampoo and conditioner

OGX thick&full biotin&collagen shampoo and conditioner  

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by OGX, I discovered them a few months back when I was in boots, they had a new range of shampoo and conditioner ... And just like everything else in Boots, I had to buy it. I just fell it love with it, and so did my boyfriend Christoper.

Good evening Little ones! It's lovely to get to see you all again, how have you been? I know it's only been a day, but a lot can change and happen within 24 hours. I'm currently at home with my family, laying in bed as I'm absolutely freezing; also waiting for my other half to come over and snuggle me. Any how, if you are on the hunt for new hair care products, or just enjoy reviews in general; then you will love this :)

PACKAGING:

Astronomically stunning. The colour is mixed between a royal blue and purple, it's so unique; but that's what's so striking about it. It also makes me feel extremely luxurious, which is heightened with the melted gold crown, and curly font. In regards to the typography, it's: bold, iridescent and damn right sexy! It interlinks with the lid, and you guys already know how I feel about that ... I absolutely love it; it really does show that the company cares about how their products are represented. On the other hand, the shape of the bottle is something that I have never seen before, other bottles are much thinner, or taller; this is short and plump ... Which I actually like, simply because it's easier to hold, and believe it or not, it actually holds more product in there. For example average shampoo and conditioner bottle holds 300ml, whereas OGX holds 385ml. Which is perfect, because you get more product for your money. If I had to really critique this, I would have to say that there is too much writing, they should add an illustration in the centre and have the main words as the focus point. But that being said, OGX's signature look is just the writing, which as mentioned previously looks beautiful in contrast to the plain background.

THE PRODUCT:

Fundamentally, in regards to the shampoo the consistency is BEAUTIFUL. It feels like velvet in your hair, so rich and creamy, and lava's so well when you add water. It really feels like it's taking away all the dirt and grease; and replacing it with a a clean, sweet smelling hair. In regards to the smell it's ever so sweet yet daring; it reminds me of Dove body cream, it's so luxurious yet questionably seductive, simply because there's a slight hint of musk. On the other hand, the conditioner has the same effect, but the consistency is different, evidently because instead of cleaning the hair, it nourishes it. It's so thick, which I adore because you know it's going to make your hair look amazing afterwards. I prefer thicker conditioners to watery one, as I find that the finer based ones don't do a good job, they just make your hair greasy; whereas this one actually looks after you hair. It glides in so effortlessly, and takes seconds to wash out. Again which I love! Who wants to stand in a shower for ages trying to get the remainders of conditioner out? Not me! I don't have time for that! 

When you come out of the shower, and  your hair is towel dry, I kid you not you can brush your hair ... Like brush your hair and not pull half of it out because it's wet. And when it's dry it looks even better! The volume is fantastic! Because I have such thick hair it's hard to find something that adds volume to it! This baby does it perfectly. I love this product, it's one of my favourites :).

THE PRICE:

Let's just get into it! £6.99 for each, yes that would mean you would be spending £13.98 on shampoo and conditioner. but let's face it, most higher end shampoo and conditioner is the same price and even higher! I really take a lot of care into my hair; I would rather spend more on my hair KNOWING that it was getting looked after. I know that's just my opinion, and some will and won't agree with me; but it's how I feel. You can buy these from anywhere, but I would say Boots as they always have offers on them. For example RIGHT NOW! They retail for £4.66 instead of £6.99, so if you find the first price too much then I would say go and buy them right now, go on Little ones, treat yourself :).

This is now the end of the blog post, sorry Litte ones, but you will see me tomorrow with a vegan recipe! I haven't done one of those for a while. I will then be doing a day in the life of Amy soon, that's only if you are interested :).

I hope you all have a good night sleep! I love you all so very much, sweet dreams! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

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

Tangle Teezer Product Review

Tangle Teezer Thick&Curly product review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Tangle Teezer, I have been a fan of their products for years, I brought this today and needed to write a review on this.

Good afternoon Little ones! What have you been doing today? I've been helping my boyfriend pack for France, as well as saying goodbye to my family. It's been a long but exciting day for me, I go abroad for the first time in my life tomorrow! And yes, of course I will be taking you along with me! I can't leave you lot out!
Any how, I have a review for you today! I went to get my hair cut (she cut WAY TOO much off), but while I was in there I brought a new hair brush, my hair is so thick my elite tangle teezer wasn't doing the job. If you want to know more about this particular product have a little read down below, hope you enjoy :).

If you want to read another review, click here!

PACKAGING: 

Professional and beautiful. This compact hairbrush reminds me of delightful berries, bursting with optimism and elegance. When I saw this brush I was taken back by the beauty and colour, it's absolutely breathtaking; it makes me feel content; simply because I own something so vibrant; it will light up the entire room. Just like other Tangle Teezer products, this thick&curly brush ticks all the boxes in their criteria; colour being one of them, unique bristle and shape of the brush. For example, when I look at this brush, without even taking a glance at the brand I know that it's from Tangle Teezer, they are the only brand that produces hair brushes in this fashion. In regards to the shape of the brush, it makes it easy to hold and brush your hair; especially when you have really thick hair like me! I can't tell you how many times I would drop my hair brush due to my hair being too thick with the elite version. The thick&curly edition have thicker rods in the brush, as well as having more of them all together. This is because people with thicker hair need something stronger, than just the average Joe. 

THE PRODUCT:

Fantastic! I have no faults with this product at all! I have brought 3 Tangle Teezers and all have worked perfectly fine, apart from the fact that the Elite would fall out of my hands; due to my hair being so thick. Tangle Teezer products have always met my needs and expectations. They look fantastic, they are always so innovative, they follow their own rules and don't copy any other company in the market. In addition to this, I find that these products are very long lasting! For example, I've had 3 within 2-3 years; but that's not because they weren't working, it was because I wanted to buy their new range of colours and patterns. On the other hand, this is the ONLY hair brush that I have used, and it's not damaged, pulled or hurt my head when using it. You know those days where you get knots from hell? This demolishes them within seconds, and does not hurt! And believe me, I hate it when I have to spend hours on my hair, and most of that was down to a crappy hair brush. In terms of washing this brush, you can simply take a baby-wipe and clean the edges, as well as this, taking hair out of this sucker is easy as pie! It comes away with one pull, don't believe me? Try it and you will be amazed! 

PRICE:

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, this product retails for £10.60. Some people may think that this is "too expensive", but how much do you normally spend on a hair brush? £3-4? But how long does that last you? And how much is that actually benefiting your hair? If you keep repurchasing cheap hairbrushes, which aren't doing you any good, you are actually spending more money for a product that isn't worth it. Whereas if you pay for this brush then and there, it will last you AT LEAST one year, at most 3 YEARS! 3 years for one brush, that's amazing don't you think? Within that time frame you will probably buy at least 10 cheap brushes, which end up not being so cheap as you keep buying into them. 

Overall, this is a product worth buying, it's high quality, lasts a long time, and it comes in such a beautiful berry colour.

If you already have this product, or you are considering purchasing one, don't be afraid to start a conversation with me; I will happily respond and answer your questions :).
