Hair Care

Following on from Millie's post on Bow's I thought now would be a perfect time to write about my hair care. Unfortunately I no longer have naturally blonde hair, and so tend to get it highlighted and dyed. This results in dry and unhealthy hair if not carefully cared for. I have a reasonably small routine for my hair.

This is all of the products I use in a week.

Weekday Routine

Dove Everyday Shampoo & Conditioner

I use this weekdays, as I find it keeps my hair healthy without breaking the bank. The cost varies from shop to shop, but in boots they are £2.49 for the shampoo and £2.49 for the conditioner too. I use the ones designed to keep colour lasting. After using my hair feels healthy and soft. But the moisture doesn't really last through the day.

Aussie Leave in Conditioner

This is amazing! I literally have not one criticism. It smells incredible and does incredible things for my hair! After washing and towel drying I come through my hair, concentrating on the ends. It de-tangles the hair and helps to keep my hair's moisture through the day. For only £4.49 in boots you can't go wrong! It also lasts forever, I've been using this twice a day for about 3 months and its still got a lot left!

L'oreal protective spray

This is a real life saver in summer. With dyed blonde hair, in the sun my hair can turn to a ginger shade. This protects the hair from any discolouring. Just spray into hair before going to the sun. It also smells lovely. I buy it at feel unique, but boots have it sometimes depending on stock.

Weekend treatments

I continue using the leave in conditioner without fail, but change to a more high end shampoo with added benefits.

Redken Clear Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner

These are my saviors! My hair is healthy throughout the week, but after using these my hair is literally silk. At the higher price of £10.20 from amazon I only use these on the weekend. If your bank can take it, use these everyday. They are literally the best thing. I only use a penny size amount and it's enough. The shampoo is wonderful and the conditioner, is just, life changing.

Herbal Essences Mask

Recently, my hair has been suffering from poor split ends. Having said that, since using this once a week they are almost gone. I put this is my hair on Sunday night for about 30 minutes (though the longer the better) and it really brings strength to my hair. This is always in stock at superdrug for only £3.99. It's so cheap and really is wonderful. However, I find that this only lasts about 5 uses or less, so I have constantly repurchasing, but at such a low price it's not a problem. 

Hope this helps with your hair care!
