Good Hair Day

Writing about hair products isn't something I ever thought I'd be doing, but I've been using two new products that I couldn't not tell you all about!

Firstly, is the Aveda 'blue malva' shampoo, which I was told about by my hairdresser. I recently tried a new hairdressers called Shrine, near my uni house in Leeds, which only uses Aveda products. Their products are so good because they use all natural products and, more importantly in my case, they smell amaaazing! 

This particular shampoo is great for my hair because it is supposed to bring out the silvery tones in hair, neutralises any brassy colours in chemically-treated hair, and intensifies colour. It also retails at £27 which, for such a huge bottle, is definitely a fair price and you can buy it here. My hair is blonde (in case you didn't know!) and I regularly get highlights with an ash tone to them, making my hair more white, without using bleach to make it that peroxide colour blonde. However, a couple of weeks after highlights, my hair dulls and gets a more yellowy tone which looks horrible. I was skeptical about this magical shampoo, but after a few weeks of using it, I was proven wrong! Okay, so the difference isn't maassivee but the yellow hasn't yet appeared which means highlights aren't needed quite as soon.

 Before - with yellowy hair

After - much whiter (these photos haven't been edited so you can see the proper effects)

The second product is the VO5 'plump it up' weightless mousse:

I have the flattest hair known to man, and no matter what I do to it, it just hangs dead straight and flat with no volume whatsoever. Until now. Previously, I used the VO5 Heat Protection Spray purely because I needed something with heat defence, but it made my hair very smooth, which didn't help with the flatness. So I decided to use something else and picked up this mousse on a whim because it also had heat defence, and it was the best decision I've ever made. Just run it through your hair when it's been towel-dried, blow dry it, and it really is a miracle worker, giving me lovely voluptuous locks! This only retails at £3.79 in Boots which is an absolute steal and you can buy it here!

I hope these two reviews/recommendations can be of use to any of you - let me know if you've ever used these products or what else you use that helps your hair!
