My Hair care routine

As I posted my skin care routine yesterday I though I would also run though my hair care routine too, Its not amazingly special as when it comes to hair I'm not as enthusiastic as I am beauty so I just do the minimum to keep my hair looking healthy.
 

To wash my hair I use Herbal essence beautiful ends shampoo and conditioner it helps protect split ends which is something my hair has plenty of as I blow dry it a and use hot tools on it all the time, If I've used a lot of hair spray in my hair I use the shampoo twice to give it a real deep clean. It leaves my hair feeling soft and smelling so nice, I've used so many shampoos and conditioner that leave my hair feeling sticky and like I've just applied a load of product to my hair instead of washing it! It lathers up so much which again is something I really want from a shampoo because it really feels like it's doing its job. With the conditioner  I use it only on the mid lengths of my hair and comb it though with a detangling comb to just get rid of and knots and it also makes it easier to brush though when I'm blow drying it.

 
           

Twice a month I also use Pantene pro-v nature fusion intensive restoring hair mask, It is a thick conditioner that nourishes and strengthens hair, I shampoo and condition like normal and then spread a good amount of this in my hair mainly focusing on the ends I leave it in for 10 minutes and then rinse in out. I always give my hair an extra rinse with cold water to just make sure all the product is out, as if there is a even a small amount left in your hair once its dry it makes it looks greasy and it also feels slightly sticky and smooth and silky. This mask is great as my hair is very dry and coarse so this leaves it feeling soft and like I've just walked out of a salon.




Once my hair is washed and slightly towel dried I use the Pantene pro-v nature fusion strengthening serum this serum is for fine/weak hair, My hair is not necessarily fine but it is very weak so I use this for extra protection from the heat damage it incurs though the constant curling! It leaves my hair silky soft and ready to style.
Once styled I use Toni&Guy shine gloss serum I got this in a Birch box or a Glossy box I cant remember which exact one but I never used it until recently and I'm so impressed with it. You use 1-2 pumps rub it into your fingers and then work it into the mid lengths of your hair I also use what I have left on my hands to tame any frizz on the roots, It works so well and doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy like many other shine serums I've used. It does it exactly what it says on the tin, controls frizz with lightweight shine and alignment.

         


That's how I keep my locks looking healthy and frizz free!

January favourites


I decided at the beginning of the year to make time to blog more and to try and get a monthly favourites done every month of this year and now here suddenly is the end of January! (so scary I really hope this year doesn't fly by like the last) so here are my January favourites.



My first favourite lip products this month is the Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in the shade 520 violet pop I have been loving this lipstick as it doesn't dry out my lips and the colour is gorgeous dark purple red colour which is a perfect winter colour.

                                       

The next lip product is the Urban Decay lip junkie lip gloss its a small sample that came with my Naked palette 2, I am in love with this lip gloss as it cools and plumps so it really makes my lips look fuller which is the main thing I love as I have really thin lips! The colour is really natural bronze shimmer so its perfect to wear over other colour lipsticks too. As soon as I've used the sample up this will be a definite future purchase and a definite must have for me.

                                      


Urban Decay Naked flushed palette, I got this in December and have been using it every day since I'm addicted! The blush is gorgeous as its a shimmery red colour which looks so nice on my skin tone. I also love that its so easy to travel with as It fits in my bag and I don't have to take two or three different pots around with me.

 
 
Real techniques Expert face brush is my favourite brush I have been using this month I had wanted this for so long and finally I got it for Christmas, like all the real techniques brushes it is super soft and feels amazing on my skin! I use it for my foundation as it gives me a flawless finish and is perfect to buff the foundation in for a natural look.
 
 
Trevor Sorbie beautiful blonde ice cool platinum UV shine protector spray is what I have been using on my hair a lot this month, even though I mainly bought this to use in the summer to protect my hair from the UV rays as my hair is very damaged from bleaching and curling. I've been using it more now though as it gives my hair a really natural healthy shine as like I said with my hair being damage its very dry and dull so it helps it look a lot healthier and it also smells lovely too!


Last in my favourites is the Right Guard Xtreme dry deodorant I had been using sure for the last 6 years and I found that it just wasn't working for me anymore, so I decided to try something new and this was my choice... and it was a good one it is fantastic for me it keeps me dry all day and I'm not feeling like I need to re spray it every two minutes like I did with the sure because it has 72 hour protection. The only thing I don't like is that it does leave white marks but I think you can buy one that doesn't so I'm going to try and get that one next but aside from that its my new favourite deodorant!
