Hair Care Haul

The summer months seem to have taken their toll on my weathered locks so it’s now in serious need of some tlc! Over the last weeks I spotted some bargains in Boots and Superdrug mainly, and just couldn’t help myself. Although I was mainly on the lookout for hair care products I stumbled across some styling products too (if you can class dry shampoo as a styling product, definitely a bare necessity for me!). My (mini) haul consisted of:

 

 

Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo

Aussie Miracle Shine Conditioner 

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Shine

 

 

Aussie Miracle Recharge spray 

TRESemme Breakage Defence Restructuring Treatment Masque

Aussie Dual Personality Coloured Hair Protection and Shine Serum

 

 

Pantene Pro V Expert Collection Advanced Keratin Repair Mask

 

COLAB dry shampoo in New York

L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

 

 

 

Samy Fat Hair 0 Calories Amplifying Mist

Samy Fat Hair 0 Calories Amplifying Crème

 

VO5 Casual Control Dry Texture Spray

Urban Fudge - Crisp pear and sweet vanilla dry shampoo

Lee Stafford Shine head spray shine

 

 

And finally .. the L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Summer Saviour Nourishing Mask.

I’m really looking forward to trying out the Extraordinary Oil as I’ve heard wonderful things and the Urban Fudge dry shampoo, as it’s not really seen this brand around but my housemate swears by it so I thought I’d give it a go. I’m a big fan of Aussie products too, so will enjoy getting reacquainted with the 3 minute miracle as I haven’t used it in years!

Have you tried any of these products? Would love to know what you thought!

 

 

VO5 Plump It Up Dry Shampoo

An absolute dry shampoo convert, it was time to stray away from the safety zone of Batiste and try out an alternative product, the VO5 Plump it up Dry Shampoo. This product aims to boost body and grip, while refreshing your style.

 

This dry shampoo has a lovely scent and a gentle texture. It does freshen up your hair but without leaving a thick white residue, which I often found with Batiste. Some dry shampoos, a TreSemme in particular can feel a bit too wet and have a distinct hair spray scent. Wonderfully, this VO5 dry shampoo successfully avoids this also. As it is very gentle in the way it works, I feel like I have to apply a lot of product in order to achieve the desired effect, leading to a bit of battle with the grey-ish streaks. It is lovely to use and feels a lot lighter in your hair than other dry shampoos I have used, making it ideal for a quick freshen up session or to add a bit of extra volume. Would happily purchase this product again!
