DGJ Organics Hangover Hair!

Afternoon!

I discovered a brand recently called DGJ Organics and they specialise in organic hair care products. I have been trying out two of their products which I am super-duper impressed with and will be sharing with you today!

 

 

So, I received these products to try out a few weeks ago and ever since, I've been putting them to the test and they are seriously are amazing for anyone with hair that could do with some serious TLC, especially my hair that's been coloured more times than I can remember!

The products I've been using are the Hangover Hair Luxury Shampoo & Conditioner, which are meant to help give an intensive detox for dull, tired and stressed hair which sounds perfect for my hair!

 

I am not normally a fan of lavender, its always been a scent that has either given me a headache or makes me feel sick, however, I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that these products had a very light scent of lavender, which wasn't strong/unbearable.

 

The end results beat my expectations, I was left with such soft, shiny hair! My hair can easily go greasy if I don't wash it properly, so to be pleased with hair care products, they must not give my hair a greasy finish and this one doesn't, therefore I now use these products every time I wash my hair as they work so well with my (hard to manage) hair.

 

You leave the conditioner on for 10-20 minutes, which is a long time for a conditioner, therefore I'm guessing it could also be classed as a deep conditioning treatment. It could be the fact that I leave the conditioner on for longer than usual which helps my hair avoid becoming greasy.

 

Another bonus is that this brand is organic, everything in their products is healthy for your hair and not damaging in any way.

 

I got the 250ml bottles and they have lasted me about three weeks and I'm still nowhere near half way through using them, so they hopefully will last me a while!

 

So impressed with this brand and will for sure be doing more research into DGJ Organics!

 

I hope you enjoyed reading, let me know what hair products your loving at the moment!

 

 





Free From Frizz: 6 Week Blow Out Kit | Thick/Coarse Hair

Hello again, Two posts in one day, I'm on a roll!

 

I have a kit I want to talk about, I had heard of the brand 'Free From Frizz' before and was so eager to try there 6 week blow out kit out, and funnily enough, God must have been looking down on me that day because I in fact won the kit I wanted to try!

Therefore I have been very lucky to be able to try out this kit, and boy is it amazing, there are a mixture of pros and cons but more pros, so please read on and see what I had to say..

 

 

This is what everything looks like, as you can see the packaging is very pretty and fun!

 

First off, you use the blow out kit, which comes in this cute, milk carton-looking box and then once you have used that you can not wash your hair for 48 hours due to the product setting in your hair. After the 48 hours you can use the shampoo and conditioner as normal, for me I use it every 2-3 days.

 

What I thought of the blow out kit:

I found this kit hard to use at first as I didn't realise that it was so tricky, it reminded me of a hair dye box and you apply the products almost as if you are dying your hair. In the end with the help of my sister, I managed to complete all the steps. I loved the tangle brush which came with the kit, it is in fact a Denman brush, which I will keep for everyday use (it works better than my original tangle teezer believe it or not).

 

What I thought of the shampoo & conditioner:

The Mango fragrance of these two products is DEVINE, I love fruity scents and this scent impressed me, my mum said that the smell is good enough to eat! You get a lot of product in both bottles and even my sister uses this on a regular basis now and is always coming up to me saying 'feel how soft my hair is'! I am intrigued to try the other scents.

 

PRO'S:

• Smells incredible!
• The blow out kit is of a high quality, I could see this kit being used in a hair salon.
• You get a tangle brush in the blow out kit, which you can keep and use over and over again, not just during the treatment.
• The blow out kit isn't messy and can be done in any bathroom, leaving the bathroom as clean as it was before.
• Step by step instructions are included in the blow out kit, easy to follow.
• There was enough product in the blow out kit that I can use it again, however this may not be the case for everyone, my hair is just below my shoulders. If you have long hair you may use all the product up.

CON'S:

• The blow out kit stinks of eggs and made me gag a few times.
• When I finished using the blow out kit my hair stunk of eggs for the next 48 hours that I waited to wash my hair.
• It left my hair VERY VERY greasy and I had greasy hair for 48 hours, meaning I couldn't really go out in public. I feel I may not have applied it right as it shouldn't have been that greasy, so don't let this put you off.
• Personally the conditioner left my roots greasy, which happens a lot no matter what shampoo or conditioner I use, but I did wash it the next time by not applying conditioner to my roots and it helped a lot.

I like to give my honest opinion when I review anything, so unfortunately in this case I did have some con's but as you can see more pros!

 

Apart from the con's I mentioned above I was really impressed with the standard of this kit, everything was there that I needed to complete this treatment, so I guess all there is to do now is show you the results..

 

 

This is my hair before the treatment, it is wavy due to curling it a few days before this picture was taken but my hair is normally quite wavy and frizzy.

 

Although I wasn't impressed with the smell of the treatment, I am hugely impressed with the finished results. The 'After picture' was taken 5 days after the treatment was applied, as my hair was greasy the first time I washed it, I didn't want to show you my nasty hair; therefore this is my hair after the second wash.

 

You see how there is no frizzy fly aways in the 'After' picture. Every time I wash my hair now I can blow dry it without the fear of it being frizzy. Please note that in the 'After' picture I have not straightened my hair, it is very straight, however it is the treatment that has made it that way and I no longer have to straighten it until the treatment wears off.

Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME with Imperial Tea for Colour-treated Hair | Oil

Hey everyone! I am having a chilled night as tomorrow I sit my final exam of the year and the stress is driving me crazy, so to take my mind off it I am going to do a review on a product I received from the hairdressing company Terence Paul.

Before I go into detail here is a link to the product if anyone wishes to purchase it: http://www.terencepaulonline.com/kerastase-elixir-ultime-the-imperial-oil-treatment-125ml.html

 

 

This hair oil by Kérastase is amazing and the bottle design, even the box it came is so pretty. This oil ranges as around £25 depending on where you buy it which at first I thought was pricey but once I gave it a shot I realised why people would pay so much for a bottle of hair oil.

 

The directions on the box says to apply 1 to 2 pumps of this 'luxury' oil into wet or dry hair, I haven't tried it on dry hair because due to my hair being naturally greasy I feel it would add a lot of grease to my hair but I will give it a go sometime soon. I didn't apply the oil to my roots as that's where my hair tends to be the greasiest when I apply to much product. I cannot get over how nice this stuff smells, when its in my hair I get whiffs of the oil which smells like a soft floral scent with hints of fruitiness.

 

Outcome:

shiny, divine smelling and frizz-free hair!

 

Here is a before and after picture of my hair, the first picture is before I hopped in the shower therefore my hair not being washed for two days and then the results when I've added the oil, blow dried my hair and straightened it.

 

Before

After

 

By trying this Kérastase hair oil it will make me think more about high end hair products now and how more pricier products could actually lead to better results. I would also defiantly recommend this brand to anyone!
