Product Review - Beautiful Ends

I love my hair products, they're always the thing i look at first when i go into shops like Superdrug or Boots. So i thought after buying this many many months ago, i should do a review for you all as i've tried and tested it.

Now the first thing i need to express is that this is solely my opinion, the product may work better or worse in your hair than it did in mine, but i feel as a blogger i should express the things i like and dislike about the products i spend my money on. (thats the reason i set up this blog)

Firstly, the thing that enticed me to this product was the fact its been made for split ends.

Clairol says:

"I daily defy and defeat split ends and breakage. My luscious formula with red raspberry and silk extracts leaves your hair protected and luscious."

My hair isn't in its strongest form at the moment, nor has it been for a while, but i can't get the hand of how to make this stuff work well in my hair.

The smell is absolutely gorgeous, and a definite selling point. Along with that, Herbal essence shampoo and conditioners tend to work well in my hair and i love the way they make it smell and feel.

The directions for use say to use around 2 pumps for mid-long length hair and rub through your ends and just leave in. 

After doing this, and blow-drying my hair, i can tell there's products in my hair (that feeling i never get when using products like heat defense) and it makes it fel dirty again. Also, when i straighten or curl it, again i can still feel the product and just constantly feel like i need to wash it out again.

On top of this, i can't tell that its made any difference to my ends. (only making them feel grubby!)

The only good point i can make about this stuff is that it smells like a dream and that does stay with you for quite a while.

Overall, i can say that im not particularly impressed with the product, which i feel is a shame, because the rest of the Herbal Essence range is a super hit in my book!

What do you all think? Do you like using Herbal Essence products? Would you recommend them?

New layout

Once again i've tried fiddling around with the look of the blog. Im trying super hard to make it look and fit right, but its still not quite there. Given time, i expect it'll be fine. All opinions on the look of it would be greatly appreciated though :) Have a great evening everyone. x

A glittery combination

So right now its the thing i'm loving. Having pretty colours on my nails and being able to spend however long making them that way. Its a kind of relaxation thing for me i guess. (and a way of avoiding my dreaded uni work!)

Anyway, seen as i havn't done a "proper" post in a while, here's one for you to enjoy.

Also i just wanted to say sorry for the little posts i have been doing recently, i'm still trying to get this blog off the ground, but with a very limited amount of followers im feeling a bit unmotivated. Especially seen as i have loads to do at university too (3 projects and a dissertation) anyway, if you enjoy the blog, please follow it as it gives me more encouragement and i really do enjoy doing this. And maybe spread the word? 

What colours are you loving making glittery?

Fat hair?

Recently, i was doing the rounds of the blogging world when i came across something i liked the look of. A blogger (sorry, i dont remember who) posted a little something about this stuff called "Sammy Fat Hair" the main aim of this product was to "amplify each hair strand" so your hair appears fuller and thicker.

I'm a mug for hair products that try to un-flaten your hair, mainly because my hair is so thin due to heat damage (but i still use my straighteners on a daily basis, purely because my natural hair isn't the nicest to look at)

Anyway, after watching a video of the magic stuff in action, i decided to trot down to Superdrug to pick some up.

It says on the bottle to use it on towel-dried hair, rub into your root and hair strand and then blow-dry as normal. I've done this a few times and also used it in dry hair.

I would say, although it's good its not quite the same as he shows on the video, however it rarely is.

When applying it to dry hair, it works, but it drops within about 30-40 mins.

I found when applying it to wet hair it worked much better, especially if you blow-dry your hair upside down to give your roots more volume, though i dont suggest using your hairbrush as this really just brushes it all out. Also, when its blow-dried, you can tell theres product in your hair. That feeling left when i straightened it, however it felt thicker and looked thicker. I wouldnt say it works all day though. So maybe keep it in your bag if your a teasing enthusiast. 

The price of the Thickening Creme was roughly about £6 for 150ML. 

What do you all think of it? Love it or hate it?
