Budget beauty - L'oreal Kids tangle tamer

This is a budget buy that I actually cannot live without dramtic maybe but definatly true. 

L'oreal Kids is something my parents used on my hair and I still do today . 

My hair gets so unbelievably tatty and knotted that I need a little extra help ! cue L'oreal kids tangle tamer and a good going over with a tangle teezer. 

Firstly the sweet pear scent is beautiful. I find that using this does truely make the whole hairwashing process that much easier . 

It claims to banish tears and knots - which is music to my ears .

It may be purely placebo in effect but I love it, it also leaves my hair smooth, soft and healthy looking. 

Pick yours up from Boots , your local supermarket or superdrug for £2.19 

Winter warmer #2 - Hair needs moisture too!

During the colder months my hair really suffers, especially as I am blonde.

I just find that because of a lack of sun it just looks dull and straw like beautiful eh? 

Like skin your hair needs moisture too! So I find like my skincare routine I up the moisture and layer up those products. 

I've slected a few products which feed my hair !

The Thirst feeders - 

My all time favourite thirst feeder is without a doubt the Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme pre-shampoo treatment. I picked up this 75ml tube for Canada and it's still going strong so it's well worth the doller.   You pop it on for 10-20minutes before shampooing, whack on a shower cap and relax. Make sure you really rinse it out well , shampoo as usual and you will be left with bouncy,lustrous locks. 

Sometimes I find that as much as I love the above treatment it can be a little heavy so I'll use the Redken Extreme shampoo and fortifying mask  I bought this from my hairdressers as a set and I can't find it online. You can buy them seperatly from feelunique though !  

First things first they both smell amazing .

 They both contain an interlock protein network which helps to fortifty and protect weakend areas. 

The colour lock down- 

So I mentioned that in winter I find my blonde hair looks a little dull and I need to rely on a few little tricks. 

First up the Marilyn hair treatment from lush. Another pre-shampoo treatment which uses chamomile and lemon to ward away brassy tones and add brightness.  

For me this works at brightening my already very blonde hair I'm not sure if it would have the same effect on darker blondes.  

It does add a lovely hit of moisture too 

Now I don't mind the smell what I do mind is that the consistancy and colour is a little suspect... 

Next up is the TIGI Bed Head Dumb blonde leave-in conditioner . Like all Bed Head products this smells beautiful so sweet and delicious. 

This conditioner contains lock down technology which increases the vibracy of blonde tones. 

It also protects from UV and thermal damage and boosts hair stregnth. 

The hair saviour ...

I'm not even exaggerating about how great this baby is. It really has done my hair the world of good and pumped a healthy amount of moisture back into my locks. A pre-shampoo treatment that you apply to damp hair  and cover with a plastic shower cap , leave for 10- 20 minutes before rinsing well. The main purpose of this is to restore damaged or over processed hair whilst hydrating and providing hair with the nourishment it needs.  Although I don't use as much heat on my hair these days , and certainly don't dye it rather leaving it do it's 'thang' , my hair is still damaged and gets really very dry especially in the sun. This bad boy works perfectly and I just know it will be what my hair is craving after 2 months in the Canadian sunshine.
I just have the 75ml bottle of this because although I'd heard a lot of good things I didn't wanna risk the full size. However I will without a doubt be purchasing the 150ml tub (which comes with a delightful shower cap so you don't need to visit a hotel anytime soon! ... what a bonus!)
I'd defiantly urge you to try this product although I picked mine up in a local department store you can get it yourself in a number in places including Feel Unique for £23.40
