My hair care heroes ♡

Hello my loves,

Let's talk hair today. 

If I'm honest, I'm hit & miss with my hair care routine - sometimes I'm really good with my leave in conditioners & heat defense sprays and then other times, let's face it I'm just that bit too lazy or tired. 

When I do slack with a good hair care routine I can really feel it in my hair by the texture and just the regular look of it. I feel my split ends are more visible & my hair tangles easier. 

My hair has had a rough life (queue the melodrama) - I've cut it every way you can imagine and I've also fell victim to bad extensions that basically left me with bald patches - my hair has also been double bleached in one sitting, not to mention that I've been dyed most colours now. I've put my hair through the wars I'm not kidding.

Finnnaallyyy though I have gotten my hair to it's total natural colour & it's starting to grow longer which I love. So now I'm all about keeping it long, healthy and shiny but still voluminous - I don't ask for much.

These are the products I now use very frequently to keep my hair in the best condition it can possibly be.

The Shampoo:

Mark Hill XXL Boost shampoo

Boots €9.99

Are you looking for a salon worthy collection of products with drugstore price tags? 

Then make Mark Hill your go to. I adore his hair care products. First off: the smell of them all is literally divine - but the quality is amazing. I'm a hair care whore (sorry, but it's true) I flit back and forth between shampoos and conditioners never being able to tell the difference usually, with the exception of his shampoo. I always return to Mark Hill products because they do what they say on the tin. This is the newest one of his shampoos that I'm loving and I love it because I really can both see & feel the volume.

The Conditioner:

Mark Hill MiracOILous nourishing conditioner

Boots: €9.99

Same situation as above. The smell, the quality, the doing what it says on the tin. The MiracOILous condition has been my go-to for the past 6-8 months and I can honestly say that can attribute my soft, nourished hair to this conditioner. I love it so much I've traveled an hour to a specific chemist to get it! I won't use anything else. I ran out a while back and had to use another to tie me over & I could notice the different straight away - my split ends were visible and my hair just felt dry and crispy. A few days later I returned to using this conditioner and the dryness disappeared - I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this conditioner. 

The hair mask:

HASK Argan oil Deep Conditioning hair treatment

Penneys/Primark/Ulta: Around €2.

So I've blogged about this before and you can check that out here. But this is my favourite hair mask OF ALL TIME, ever ever. When my hair was bleached I need something strong to bring it to good quality and this was when I stumbled upon this brand one day in Penneys. This made my bleached hair look like real hair once again. I can't describe what it does it's that good, it's the kind of see it to believe it product but I urge you to purchase this and I promise you won't regret it. This is a hair savior. It takes dry hair and makes it silky again.

The oil:

L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary oil

Boots: €12.99

Every single time I wash my hair this is the one product that I will add 2 pumps of always to my towel dried hair. This oil is my favourite of the ones that I have tried by far. Others leave like an oil residue on my hair, weighing it down because my hair strands are fine but this one doesn't do that. It literally just nourishes your hair. Added bonus is that the bottle lasts you FOREVER. I've been using this for 2 years and I have only used 3 bottles so there is the proof!

The mousse:

John Frieda Luxurious volume thickening mousse

Boots: €7.99

My favourite mousse to add both volume and hold when I curl my hair. I don't use this everyday but if I want my style to hold or if it's the weekend and I want nice hair I will always apply this to towel dry hair and blast my hair with the hair dryer upside-down. It doesn't leave your hair crunchy and you don't feel like you've loads of product in your hair making it greasy which I also love.

The something a little bit extra:

Lee Stafford Coco Loco Blow & Go Genius lotion

Boots: €9.99

I know that I keep referring to the smell of things but MY GOD - this smells divine. It basically smells like you're drinking a Pina Colada, on the beach in the Bahamas. I'm not totally sure what to describe this product as completely to be honest, basically the claims are:

• Conditions
• Improves shine
• Strengthens
• Helps repair damaged hair
• Nourishes
• Softens and smooths hair

It also claims to hold styles for longer. 

I can vouch; after using this for a month, that it does all of the above. It makes my hair look and feel in really good condition and whatever I choose to do with my hair - it holds it. I sometimes will use this, dry off my hair and pop it into a plait and in the morning my hair has proper defined waves that hold well. (this NEVER happens for my hair, I usually just get kinks from plaits!) I use this every time I wash my hair now, I am totally obsessed.

So these are my hair care heroes girls - I have been using these for months now so these are things that I know most definitely work and are very good products!

 I'm a beauty junkie so I try many things, but these are the heroes for me!

I hope you all enjoyed this post, I have another one coming over the weekend and it has a little something to do with Christmas......;)<3 So keep an eye out!

With Love From,
