PhytoKeratine Repairing Serum for Damaged Lengths.



This hair serum is another cheeky purchase I got while in America, just like the O.P.I. nail polish I talked about here. When I was in the States my hair became really, REALLY dry from all the sea salt, chlorine from the pools and just general hair neglect. Lets face it I was having way to much fun to care about my hair. So because of that I found myself running into Sephora to try and find something, anything, that would make my hair look and feel even a tiny bit better, without having to put much effort into it at all. This product is a Silicone and Paraben free hair serum designed to repair damaged ends, which is exactly what I have. The website states that this product contains Amino Acids and Keratin which help to rebuild and re-strengthen the hair from the inside out. As its Silicone free it means its not simply just coating the hair to mask the appearance of damaged ends, but working deep inside the follicle to help rebuild and restructure the hair. 

I have neutrally dry hair that has also been Ombred, therefore the ends have been bleached, making my hair even more dry. I have to admit that I am also guilty of not using heat protectors on my hair which means the ends are in a seriously bad condition overall.

I didn't think much could help my hair, other than a hair cut really, but I bought this serum anyway. You can use it on either damp or dry hair, and I do both. I actually apply a whole lot more than suggested as well, but as my hair is so dry it doesn't make it greasy at all. Now don't get me wrong, I still desperately need a hair cut but this product actually made my hair look, and feel a lot better. Before I used this my hair was really dry and frizzy at the ends, now I have used this regularly my hair feels a lot smoother and looks more tamed, like I have actually made an effort. Which is a total lie because I can never be bothered to even brush my hair, let alone style it. 

$30 in America and roughly £17 in the UK.

Bed head- Urban anti-dotes level 3 shampoo and conditioner



The combination of over dying my hair and winter weather caused it to becomes really dry, I had recently run out of shampoo and conditioner at the same time so was in dire need of something new. I got googeling and stumbled across this Bed Head pack, its the level 3, for seriously damaged hair shampoo and conditioner set. I bought it off Amazon for roughly £12, the set came with a 200ml conditioner and a 250ml shampoo.

Bed head (TIGI) is a salon brand that is raved about in the blogging world.  This brand has a massive rang of products and this particular set, urban anti-dotes, comes in three levels of intensity, depending on how damaged your hair is.

I have fallen in love with these, they leave my hair feeling amazingly soft. The condition of me hair feels like it has drastically improved and it looks far more healthier. It has become shiner and much less dry, which is exactly what I was looking to achieve. They have also lasted a great length of time, I have been using them for around a month and still have over half of both left. Defiantly a must have for someone suffering from over processed, over heat styles and generally dry hair.
