My haircare favourites | ♥

These are some of my haircare favourites, things I use all the time and others that I use less frequently but are still amazing!

Shampoo;

Lush Big Shampoo - £12.25 330g (lush.co.uk)

This shampoo is packed full of great ingredients like course sea salt, seaweed, coconut oil, lemon & lime. The sea salt is great at giving volume and cleansing while the coconut oil and seaweed softens the hair. The lemon & lime also help to give the hair a great shine! I go between Big, Timotei Pure & Tresemmé Keratin Smooth 7 day shampoo.

Conditioner;

Tresemme 7 Day Smooth Conditioner - £5.99 250ml (boots.com)

I try to use this conditioner with its matching shampoo, but it still works amazing with any. It really helps to combat frizzy hair and makes your hair so soft! As with all Tresemme products it smells great too! The keratin is heat activated so works when you straighten your hair. I go between this, Timotei pure conditioner & Lush american cream!

Hair Masks;

Embelleze Rio Brazilian Keratin - £24.99 1kg (beautybyzara.com)

I got this little 100g sample in a Glossybox and honestly it's the best thing I've ever used for my hair! I use it once a week or once a fortnight, depending on what I've been using on my hair e.g if I've  been using the Tresemme shampoo/conditioner I don't use this. It's amazing to sort out dry colour damaged hair & frizz, you can also use it as a normal conditioner. After mine is finished though I don't know if I can justify spending £25 on a tub, but it is amazing! 

Hair Treatments;

Vo5 Miracle Concentrate Elixir - £5.19 50ml (boots.com)

I use this if I'm not using a hair mask, I just add a couple of small drops to my hair after I've washed it and it makes it feel so soft and repairs any split ends. It's got Argan Oil in it which is really nourishing for the hair and gives it an amazing shine! It also smells amaaazing!

Aussie Miracle Recharge Colour Leave-In Conditioner - £4.49 250ml (boots.com)

I rarely use heat on my hair as I leave it to dry naturally most of the time & I have to wear it up for work so there is no point in straightening it, but when I do use heat I love this Aussie spray. It of course smells amazing like all of the Aussie products but it's great for soft feeling hair whilst being a heat protector at the same time! Aussie products are currently 3 for £10 at boots!

Finishing products;

Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray - £7.49 200ml (boots.com)

I love this salt spray for if I'm doing wavy hair, spray it on plaits if I am going to take them out to get waves or if I just want a nice messy look. 

For hairspray I love Aussie Miracle Hairspray Shine + Hold - £3.99 (boots.com)  or Number 4 Non Aerosol Hairspray - £18.50 (birchbox.co.uk) I know there is a big price difference but I find that the aerosol free hairsprays last a lot longer than any others and doesn't give you that horrible crispy finish!

Of course it wouldn't be a hair post without mentioning tangle teezers! They are the best thing you will ever buy and won't regret it! For more about them you can visit my recent post about them here; http://t.co/GHrnnwvaAd    

If i'm dying my hair i'll use L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss in 454 Chocolate Brownie or 360 Black Cherry - i can never decide if i want red or brown hair so i always go between these two colours! I've tried a lot of different colours and brands and i love L'Oreal the most!

I hope this helps anyone who wants to give any new hair products a try!

Lush Christmas | ♥

I LOVE Lush a lot, and I love Christmas a lot so both together is the best! I bought some things from Lush recently so here are a few! (All from lush.co.uk)

The Christmas Penguin bubble bar - £3.25

Bubble bars are probably my favourite products ever from Lush, because you can get more than one bath out of them. This cute little penguin has a citrusy scent & has mandarin and lemon oils in it.

The Christmas Hedgehog bubble bar - £3.25

This bubble bar has Shea & cocoa butter packed in which are super moisturising, it also has some sparkles on the hedgehog's spikes! It has quite a woody/floral scent probably from the rose in it.

Christmas Eve bubble bar - £2.95 

This has the perfect relaxation scent! It smells just like flowers, and it has Jasmine in it which is a relaxing smell to me. Love the price of this too as you will get a lot of baths from it!

Candy Mountain bubble bar - £2.75

This is by far my favourite Christmas product that I bought and amazingly priced. It smells like my all time fave Lush products Creamy Candy & The Comforter in one and it has shimmer! What more can I ask for? 

The Melting Snowman bath melt - £2.25

This little snowman smells just like Christmas! He has a christmas spice/cinnamon scent with almond oil & cocoa butter to moisturise the skin!

Snow Fairy shower gel - £3.75 (100g)

This shower gel has a very sweet scent and has little sparkles in it! I think it smells exactly like Lush bubblegum lip scrub (yum!). It also has seaweed to make your skin extra soft!

Baked Alaska soap - £3.25 (100g) 

This soap has an amazing citrusy scent, it has coconut oil in it which is amazing for your skin. The full wheel/ball soap is made to look like a giant snowball!

Reindeer Rock soap - £3.10 (100g)

This has one of those scents that you can't really think what is smells like. But I think it smells like The Comforter bubble bar mixed with berrries. The full wheel of soap has lots of cute silver sparkly reindeer on the top.

Yog Nog soap - £3.40 (100g)

This smells good enough to eat! It's scent is like a mixture between chocolate, caramel & fudge! It's super moisturising and I'd say it would be great for dry skin! The full wheel of soap looks like a giant Christmas cookie!

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to try something Christmassy from Lush!

Tangle Teezers | ♥

Tangle Teezers are probably one of the best things I've ever bought! Since my hair has gotten longer it is a lot more tuggy & knotty. These are literally pain free when trying to untangle your hair! 

Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash - £13.99 (boots.com)

This is my favourite Tangle Teezer, it's for when your hair is wet. I use it when I have conditioner on so I can make sure it's even all over my hair. Then once I've towel dried my hair I use it again, my hair is usually really knotty and tangled by this point. This untangles your hair with absolutely no pain!

Tangle Teezer Original - £10.99 (boots.com)

I use this Tangle Teezer instead of a normal hairbrush, it is just like the others at untangling - pain free! It makes your hair feel so soft and looks so glossy!

Tangle Teezer compact brush - £12.49 (boots.com)

This is a great size for your handbag, it also has a protective cover so that the plastic teeth don't get damaged or bent in your bag. It's also amazing at detangling your hair like the rest!

On boots.com you can also get the Tangle Teezer Magic Flowerpot (£13.49) for kids! It gently detangles hair like the rest do and it has a storage compartment to store hair bobbles & accessories! 

I think everyone definitely needs a Tangle Teezer in their life!!
