Part 2: Hair
During the winter, I hate leaving my hair to dry naturally, and it's really the only time of the year I used my hair dryer. With more heat, I like more protection! Using these products has really made a big difference in the dryness of the ends. Usually, my hair looks so ragged this long after a hair cut, but it's been nearly 3 months and I'm not anxious to get back to the hairdresser.
I try not to wash my hair too often, and rely on some dry shampoo to keep me going between washes, I wash it 2-3 times a week.
Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner
I've just finished my first bottle of this, and decided to pick it up after reading about it on a few blogs. The smell, is so fruity, and lasts long enough that people have actually commented on the smell hours I've washed it. It really is nourishing, leaving my hair is silky, without being weighed down.
Aussie Lucious Long Leave-In Conditioner
I use this on the days I've washed my hair, just a light spray all over my hair and then brush it through with my Tangle Tweezer. Again, it smells great, just like all the Aussie products.
Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment
This stuff is seriously amazing! I've been using this since July and I've definitely noticed an improvement on my ends, even before I started using the Dove conditioner. (It probably deserves it's own post.) I apply it on wet hair and wait about 15 minutes before blow drying, and sometimes if my hair's a bit fly away, I will apply it to the dry ends to smooth it out.
Lee Stafford Heat Protection Spray
I've always been a bit skeptical if heat protection sprays actually work, but there was an amazing deal in Boots back in September, 3 products for £10 so I got it for free basically. Thought it was about time I used one. I guess, it's no worse than using nothing at all. I use it on dry hair, on the days I occasionally use my straighteners, or when I use my Tresemme hot styling brush. I don't use it straight after washing as my Aussie leave-in is supposed to protect too.
I'm not sure exactly which product has made a difference, or if it's a accumulation of all them; but I'm pretty happy with the lack of dry ends, as well as minimised breakage. I've got a rotation of shampoos on the go, but don't think I'll be changing my conditioner, or this routine for a while.
Uni is now done for Christmas (yaaaay), so I'm hoping to get back to blogging more regularly. My fingers have been itching to blog, but I had an essay that had to take priority.
Thanks for reading!
