Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam

Recently I had my hair cut and coloured. Nothing too extreme, just a good cut and high and low lights to help it look fresh and healthy. Whilst their my hair dresser put an usual foam thing on my hair, I don't usually pay much attention to what she puts on my hair because were usually too busy talking about something else. However, afterwards I couldn't stop looking at how full and volumised my usually limp, lifeless and super fine hair was. The best bit is not only did my hair look amazing after leaving the hairdressers, my hair looked amazing the next day too. Therefore I had to find out what she had used in my hair, and thats where this little beauty steps in. I haven't ever used anything like this before in my hair, I was always worried that it would weigh it down and make it all sticky, but you can't actually tell that this is in your hair and the results are just amazing. 

The description on the Redken website highlights this spray foam ‘boost up hair with flexible fullness and bold, gutsy style. Directional spray allows for precise application. Lift up the roots or apply all over for volumes of attitude. Providing a lasting, natural and flexible feel.’

After washing and towel-drying my hair, I brushed out my hair with my tangle teezer, making sure not to pull too much. Then I applied the Redken Guts 10 spray foam to my roots all over my head, even on the underneath parts. The spray foam is kind of a different experience but I like it. You have to be careful with the spray because it can get messy if you aren't cautious about how you are holding the can and it will go EVERYWHERE!

Anyways…afterwards I dried my hair. If I’m feeling lazy, I just flip my head upside down and try my hair that way. If I’m going out or if I have a bit longer to dry my hair, I use my Toni&Guy medium round brush to dry sections of my hair, giving it even more volume. I really felt my hair lifting and thickening up. The results were amazing!

After using this I can say I really don’t think I’ll ever not use it! I love how my hair looks and feels when I’ve used this. If you love volume without the sticky feeling, or want something that works then this is definitely something to try. It does cost around £15, but its 300ml and totally worth it!

Extreme Anti-Snap.

Extreme Anti-Snap Leave in Treatment

Recently I had my hair highlighted, I had both highlights and low lights. I had it done to correct my previous hairdressers highlighting my whole hair, instead of just different sections. Therefore it is fair to say my hair was in seriously bad shape afterwards. My new hairdresser recommended this to me to help strengthen and protect my hair. However, without weighing it down or leaving it feeling greasy. Therefore I thought I would give it a go.

The website states; "Extreme strengthens and resurfaces chemically and mechanically distressed hair. Redken's exclusive Interbond Conditioning System delivers a unique 3D Repair Complex to fortify hair so it looks and feels healthier with increased manageability and shine. Leave-in treatment gently smooths the cuticle, reduces friction from brushing and helps fortify hair that's prone to breaking, splitting or snapping off.”

I have been using this leave in treatment every time I wash my hair for the last month, and my hair feels amazing. It feels stronger and healthier, and it looks so much more shiny and healthy. I actually forgot to take this away for the weekend with me, and when I washed and dried my hair, I straightway noticed a difference in my hair from not using it. It just didn’t seem to be as soft and silky and didn’t style as easy.

The product itself is very concentrated, therefore you don’t need to use a lot, and the pump means you can dispense enough for how long your hair is. Personally I use it after I have towel dried my hair, rubbing it between my hands then running it through my whole hair, focusing on the mid-length area. I know people say not to put treatments or oils near your roots, however I have layered hair, and the broken flyaway hair is actually really short, therefore I have to make sure I target these areas as well, as their most in need. It doesn’t make my hair greasy or get greasier any faster, it just strengthens my whole hair and makes it really soft, shiny and smooth.

I love using treatments on my hair, and I tend to swap and change a lot and I always like trying new products. My hair is the one thing, where I can actually try different products because unlike my skin, it doesn’t react to things. I do really like this leave in treatment and if you have really distressed, damages hair its great. I do think I will carry on using it, and the bottle will definitely last me a very long time. It truly has saved my hair, its amazing after having your hair coloured as it makes it a lot stronger, healthier and it doesn’t effect the colour!

If your looking for a new leave in treatment to try, and your hair is in need of some serious TLC then you need this leave in treatment in your hair routine right away!

Beuaty Haul.

The Internet for me is a very dangerous place. It makes shopping so easy, and everything you want is constantly at the touch of a button. However, I recently handed in my first and last essay of this year, and I’m due to start placement in a few days and therefore thought I would treat myself to a few things. I just thought I would show you an overview of what I’ve bought, I will do an in-depth review of them all.
