Hair Products

My hairs pretty much a big mess the majority of the time. Right now it's in desperate need of a cut and colour but I can't quite decide what I want to do with it.

Like many of you, I have soo many hair products- I couldn't possibly write about them all, but here are some of them.

I've tried so many different volumising Shampoos and Conditioners. I really hate my hair to be weighed down so I try to find light volumising products.

I have been using the John Freida Collection for about 2 years now. I find it works really well with my hair. I use the Thickening Shampoo twice and a small bit of Thickening Conditioner when washing my hair and before blow-drying I apply some Thickening Mousse on the roots. It really works wonders with my hair. They really last such a long time. They cost about £5.50 each? Which is pretty good! When I finish these bottles I'm going to try Redkens Body Full. Any recommendations?

I buy so much of Lee Staffords stuff.

1. Because I love him alot.

2. I spend so much time in Boots.

3. It's always on 3 for 2.

4. It's such a big range and I find most of the products work really well- although one of them smells hideous. I think its the Shine Spray?

Here I have As rough as you like scruffy hair clay, All shagged out powder wax, Messed up hair putty and Messed up light spray wax.
They are all really good products to mess up your hair and give it a bit of texture. I like to rub a small bit of clay, powder or putty into my palms and work through my roots. Its important not to use alot of it, you'll end up with greasy looking locks- never a good look!

Tigi Bed Head

Ego Boost- This is a leave-in conditioner, Split end mender. This is quite a good product, I have two bottles of this and can imagine it will take quite a while for me to get through them both. Its not a product that I use all the time, just occasionally when I feel my hair really needs some love.

After Party- mmmm I love this! Its a smoothing cream for "Silky Shiny, Healthy Looking Hair". Its absolutely wonderful. It smells great and really leaves my hair looking so much more silky and healthy. One thing that isn't so fab, is that it adds something to my hair that makes it grease up all a bit too fast, but I can deal with that!

Hard To Get- The most gorgeous smelling texturizing paste. I've used this product for yearsss! I really love the smell of it. It's used very similar to the Lee Stafford products that I spoke about, but this is much better just because of the smell.

Superstar Volumizing Leave-In Conditioner- I'm not a fan of the smell. I really dislike anything strawberry like. This makes me feel a little bit sick when applying but I really love the product. I wish they would sell it with a different scent. I've almost finished this bottle. It promises to "Pump up your hair! Condition, detangle, add volume and give light hold". Okay, so I'm not really sure on condition and detangle, but it definately does give light hold and gives volume.

Superstar Queen for a Day- I haven't actually used this product for a while, I kind of forgot that I had it until rummaging through my products. I'm definately going to start using it again, from what I remember it really works well. Its a thickening spray, You can spray either just at the roots, or all over for a more dramatic effect. It smells absolutelyAMAZING! So sweet and just utterly devine.

Nice n Easy Colour Seal- This is a conditioning treatment that you get with a Nice n Easy by Clairol hair colour. Its genius! You can buy it on its own in a smaller tube for about 96p! It has marked on the side how much for you to use in each go, and so should last 6 weeks. It honestly leaves your hair feeling so full and healthy- I love it!

Soap & Glory Hair Supply- This is a "Super gloss-giving radiance & repair mask treatment for all hair types". I picked this up in boots in the Soap and Glory promotion for £3.99 yesturday. It normally costs £6.99 and I really liked the bottle so I thought I may aswell try it. I used it last night and didn't really notice a huge difference but I'm not sure if I used it correctly. It promises to "Leave hair smooth & shiny, coat & control split ends". You can use it for a daily smooth by leaving it on for 60 seconds or a more intensive weekly treatment by leaving it on for 3-4 minutes. I did the second option and hmm, I'll let you know after a few more washes!

Charles Worthington Balancing Act Dry Shampoo- This is a new product in the Charles Worthington range, I thought I'd try it because I do love a dry shampoo to keep in my bag as an emergency. I usually use Boots Dry Shampoo or Bastiste- This smells a little bit nicer but does cost a little more and is a little smaller so I'm not really sure I'd repurchase, but its worth the try. I like to use it on my roots even if my hair isn't greasy, just to freshen and boof my roots up a little bit. Having dark hair I haven't been able to try the Talc trick to boost volume and add texture, but I've found that Dry Shampoo really does work!

If you have any hair recommendations or tricks please share them with me :)
