Lion's mane.

I've got a bit blonde.

Natural and golden blonde, but blonde and I'm rather chuffed with it. I do love lighter hair in the summer and as I have this week off work I decided that it was time for a pamper so yesterday at lunchtime I carted myself off to the hairdressers. Three hours and three tonal shades later and here we are. I really like it.

I love going to the hairdressers being pampered for a few hours is just lovely but I felt rather silly yesterday I still have this terrible cold (hence the puffy face and eye bags) and sat in the chair sniffly and coughing but the girls made me feel really welcome and even offered me a cup of herbal lemon tea to soothe my throat. It was just perfect.

I had to include the photo above. When I force ask the Mr to take outfit photos for me I always take a few snaps to get the light, colour and exposure right. I thought that this photo summed up his feelings when I ask him to take photos. Haha, he loves it really!

Changes.

Before and after. I finally braved the hairdressers and had a well needed haircut. I've been to the hairdressers but I always end up having the very ends off to keep the length but this time I said take off what you need to. And this is the result. I'm so happy with it. After having a tough month it's amazing what a good hair cut can do for your confidence, I'm beginning to feel more me again and it's nice to be back!

Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo Review!

RRP £3.49

I picked this shampoo up after watching Vivianna from Vivianna Does Makeup. She recommends this shampoo no end and as it's reasonably priced I decided to give it a try.

A clarifying shampoo is supposed to get rid of the build up of products from your hair. My hair gets greasy quite quickly so I needed something to get rid of this. I tried this shampoo and loved it! It makes your hair feel so clean and silky smooth. Even my mum (who doesn't use any products on hair) used it and it boosted it up and left it feeling silky smooth.

I will be buying this again and I really love it. I use it once a week or when I feel I need it. It's definitely worth a go!

Haircut!

Well I decided to bite the bullet and get a full fringe. I've been debating it for a while and I said about it to my hairdresser and we decided that it would work and well here we are!

What do you think?

P.S Clothing at Tesco have featured me on their blog, very exciting click here to take a look!

Avon Moroccan Oil Review!

RRP £3.00

When the Avon book arrived through my door a few weeks ago and this little beauty was on the front cover I knew I had to try it. As I have ombre/dyed hair, I find the ends of my hair to very dry and even with hair masks and deep conditioning it needed something else. I was planning on buying the "real" Moroccan oil for around £20 and I am so glad I waited and got this instead.

My hair has never been so soft and I am super impressed. Sometimes when something is cheaper it can be greasy on your hair and not moisturise it probably but this is heaven. I am going to be repurchasing this for a very long time!

It's currently on offer for £3 but full price I think it costs around £5. Not bad and such a great product too!

Aussie Angels Haircare Post!

Now if you've been on my blog before you will know that I love my hair and taking care of it is one of the most important things to me. So I decided to share some hair care advice.

My hair has had highlights and kinda dip dye since September last year, and nothing prepared me for how dry the bleach would leave the ends of my hair. So it's vital that I condition my hair regularly.I use conditioner every time I wash my hair and try to use an intensive conditioner once a week to give it that extra nourishment. 

I also try not to use heat on my hair and when I do, I always without fail use heat protection spray. You really should use it, give your hair a  fighting chance.

I've come up with a five tips for good hair:

1. If you can bear it, finish your last wash of your hair with a blast of cold, it will add shine and make it nice and glossy.

2. When you comb your hair hold the root. Pulling the root can lead to damage and maybe even hair loss.

3. Keep your brushes and combs clean. Clean them once a week with shampoo.

 4. This little tip costs less than 10p!! - For a nice tousled texture, put some sea salt (2 tablespoons) into a spray bottle, top up with water and spray onto to hair, then dry (scrunching your hair while you dry it always helps too!). The sea salt sends your hair curly!

5. Treat your hair well, you wouldn't burn your skin with lots of heat!

I've created this post because I want to be an Aussie Angel. The chance to work with top haircare brand Aussie, would really be a dream come true for me. I love nothing more than haircare, trialing new products and giving my honest opinion. So Aussie, I've got my halo (plait) can I have my wings now please?

Shampoo review!

VO5 Nourish Me Truly shampoo and conditioner

I discovered a sample of VO5 shampoo and conditioner and decided to try it out. I am a massive fan of haircare so I needed to try this. I know it's been about for a while but it's always good to get an opinion on things.

The shampoo lathers up really well, which is something I look for in a shampoo, sounds stupid but a good lather usually makes for a good shampoo especially for long hair.

The conditioner is great too! Not only does it smell great it leaves your hair feeling silky smooth.

The shampoo and conditioner claim to lavish damaged hair, leaving it visibly radiant. The blonde in my hair always ends up dry without a good quality conditioner and my hair seems to love this. It's not too strong (if shampoo is too strong it can make my scalp really sensitive and itchy) and smells great. I love this combo and it retails at £1.69 for a 500ml bottle. It's amazing value!

As it's Easter I thought I'd post some Easter pics! Enjoy.

Easter cupcakes, rocky road cake, creme egg!

My teeth are hurting from all this chocolate!

Happy Easter!
