Aussie Take The Heat leave-in spray review!

Aussie Take the heat leave-in spray £4.69

I've been looking around for a good heat defence spray for a long time now, since my TRESemme Heat defence ran out, I was keen to try a new one. Nothing really caught my eye until I found the Aussie shelf in my local Boots. Ding-Ding we have a winner!Who doesn't love and trust Aussie hair care?! I found the Take The Heat leave-in spray, which has Australian Jojoba seed oil to nourish the hair whilst the rest of the product is protecting your locks from the heat produced by blow dryers, hair curlers and hair straighteners. I love spritzing this in when my hair is wet because the formula is pretty wet but feels nourishing, so I hope that by putting it in whilst my hair is still wet, my locks will soak it up with the water. I've definitely seen a difference in my hairs look and manageability since using this spray. Usually my hair will feel straw like after a few hours of my using of curlers or dryers, but when using the leave-in spray, it's definitely more silky, less frizzy and holds any style I challenge my hair to hold throughout the day. The only thing I would want different is the spritzer, as it doesn't spritz enough and it isn't mist like, almost just squirting a line of product out, which is hard to distribute throughout the hair because it only covers a small section when you spray, so you end up spraying the same part a few times.

Nonetheless, this is a superb heat defence spray. It offers a lot to your tresses, by keeping them in good shape with the Australian Jojoba seed oil and also protecting your hair from breakage by frying your hair! Plus, who doesn't love Aussie hair care?! They're my most coveted hair care brand for years!

Babyliss Boutique curling wand

BaByliss Boutique Soft Waves curling wand

I purchased this curling wand around a month ago via Very.co.uk, but I know not everyone wants a catalogue so I linked you lovies to Boots whom I know sells it. I purchased my wand for £29.99, which is the same as boots. 

I didn't really do any research on the wand, although usually I do with anything I purchase, it was bought on a bit of a whim. All I knew was that I really wanted a curler on a budget, where I could create curls and most importantly for me, some lovely summery waves. I tend to find that waves suit me better, because not only do I keep my length with my hair (I hate when curls make my hair shrink!) but it suits my roundish face. I think I look rather horrendous with really curly hair, I can only have loose curls at a push, but I always try and opt for a nice soft wave... which is exactly what it says on the box... so I had to buy! 

I haven't got much experience with curling tongs or wands or anything other than a hairdryer or GHD's. I was scared! Thankfully, it came with a nifty little glove which protects the hand you're using to hold the hair against the wand and a mat which you lay the wand on when you're waiting for it to heat up, whilst you're curling your hair and when it's cooling down. I have however managed to drop the wand on my bare leg on top of a bruise - Ouch! So be wary if you haven't tried anything like this as it's a bit fiddly! It takes a few goes to get it right, I find it hard to do the right hand side of my hair... still learning ^_^!

I do though love the outcome from using this wand. Not only do I magic up amazing waves and loose curls but it gives the most amazing shine to my hair and makes it feel amazing which are ultimate bonuses! 

I'm absolutely in love with this wand, and it's now become my go to hair tool for day to day hairstyles and evening styles too!

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo Review

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo £6.99

Whilst wandering through a Superdrug a while ago, I stumbled upon the Organix hair care range. I never even knew Superdrug had Organix in their stores, and only thought I could get it on specialist sites online, so you can imagine how happy I was when I found it! I'm a huge hair buff, and I baby my hair to death. I always use oil in my hair so when I found this Moroccan Argan Oil shampoo, I had to get it. I know the benefits of using oil is huge, and since using oils in my hair after shampooing and conditioning, I've seen a huge difference in my hair condition and length. My hair is about an inch away from my waist, and I hope to get it longer in the coming months. So buying this shampoo with an oil in it should only make that goal easier to get to.

The packaging personally is really cute and luxurious looking. I love the gold and the aqua blue with the black fancy lettering. It gives it an expensive feel without breaking the bank. At £6.99 it's about average for a decent high street shampoo/conditioner, and for what it gives you, you're getting a lot for your money. I haven't got the conditioner and oil yet, but I will soon buy them when I'm next around that particular Superdrug. They also have Macadamia oil shampoo,conditioner and oil and Brazilian Keratin therapy shampoo, conditioner, flat iron spray and serum, too.

The product itself is pretty thick, and smells amazing. It smells a bit like you're on holiday! I do find that your hair has to be completely saturated in water before you can lather this properly, or you find yourself using more product than you should if your hair is only damp/wet. Once your hair is completely soaked on the other hand, it's a dream to lather and easy to rinse. Your hair feels squeaky clean and SILKY SOFT. It feels like you've already conditioned it's that soft. Those with really oily hair or those that don't always have time to condition, this shampoo could be for you. It doesn't dry out the hair, and puts oils back into the hair shaft to condition inside out. I have accidentally forgotten to use conditioner after shampooing with this Organix shampoo and my hair can suffer from being dry/brittle but I didn't have a problem after using this, it still felt silky and conditioned.

My hair has been manageable with no static or flyaway's which sometimes I can find with shampoos I'm not used to. I'm not sure on the staying power of cleanliness before it gets greasy as I have naturally VERY greasy roots after 1-2 days after a wash so I don't like to wait around before my next hair wash. I don't think a product can really determine how quickly your hair will get greasy unless you haven't washed the product out properly. I personally think it comes down to how your hair is naturally. 

Other amazing benefits of using this shampoo is that the product also helps keep your hair protected against heat from styling tools (I would still use a protecting spray) and protects your hair from UV damage! 

Would I buy it again? Hell yes! I really want to try the conditioner and oil now because the shampoo has completely sold me. My hair feels amazing, manageable and protected.  10/10!
