John Frieda Heat Defeat Protection Spray

 

John Frieda Heat Defeat Protection Spray - 150ml - £5.09
 
 
Heat Defense products have become very vital to any womans haircare routine in recent times, with the constant heat styling tools like straighteners and curling irons etc being a part of almost daily lives it's very important that us girls protect our hair from the heat, the heat which can be as high as 200 degrees may I add, which still scares me that i'm putting something that hot on my hair.
 
Nonetheless with hair like mine, straightners are needed.
 
This is the Jogn Frieda Heat Defeat Spray, this used to just sit in our bathroom cupboard gathering dust. So when I was looking through it one day, having a sort out, I thought i'd dig it out and actually make use of it. And i'm glad I did.
 
 
 
The packaging on the front may have slightly alterated if you went to buy this exact product now, but companies are always doing that so I wouldn't worry too much. The actual product inside is still the same. It contains thermo-guard technology which will protect your hair against the heat of blow drying and using hot styling tools. It also claims to leave your hair straight and smooth for 24hrs.
 
It helps to leave my hair somewhat straight, but not straight enough otherwise I wouldn't be using straighteners, but it does help a bit. You spray this into towel dried hair and brush through, so it is distributed evenly through your hair before blow drying it, then using whatever styling tool you please.
 
 
I like the packaging, and it evenly distributes product. It helps to make my hair feel smoother and helps straighten it, and the best thing is the fact I know it will protect my hair from the heat.
 
 
I can't stress this enough girls, use heat protection spray on your hair, your hair will be less damaged and look healthier as a result.

You can find this product at:
 
 Feel Unique - £5.09
 
Boots - £5.89

L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil for Coloured Hair


L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil for Coloured Hair - (100ml) - £9.99
 
 
I've never really thought about using hair oils, for many years it was something that never even crossed my mind to put into my haircare routine. But now it's almost like a necessity.
 
I have my hair dyed blonde and it is naturally very thick, frizzy and a bit curly. So taming this mass of hair on my head is a tricky task and I hardly ever get it how I really want it.
 
My mum bought me this after listening to me complaining how frizzy my hair always is, and nothing seems to calm it down, and I can tell you that this has helped.
 
It is packaged beautifully in this glass bottle, and it comes with a pump at the top which is very handy when handling oil. You only need to use one pump for this, I find if you use too much it will leave your hair looking greasy. So use one pump, rub it between your fingers and run it through your hair (avoiding the scalp) and it will tame down the frizz.
 
It claims to:
Give hair a glowing shine, nourishes, leaving hair smooth and soft.
 
It can be used:
Before shampooing, before you blow dry your hair, or after.
I prefer to do it after to tame the frizz, I always feel strange with putting an oil on wet hair, it makes me feel like when I dry it it will look greasy, but that's just my opinion.
 
I can definitely say it makes my hair feel and look like it claims, the frizz is still there slightly but it definitely has calmed down.
 
I have this version as I have coloured hair, but L'Oreal have created a version that is designed for all hair types too.
 
 
It retails at £9.99 but it is currently on offer in Boots for £6.66
