Hair we go!

Don't you just love my fabulous propensity for puns? (Not).  Anyway, my local hair shop has been having an insane sale on a lot of their products this month and I was finally able to pick up a few things.


They had one of my favourite brands of hair relaxer on sale for 1.87 (!) so I grabbed a couple of boxes.


Organic Root Stimulator's 'Olive Oil' line is very popular and with good reason. Their hair mayonnaise is still my favourite deep conditioning treatment so I had to grab a new tub. I like to use it at least every other week and it makes my hair feel so soft, yet strong.


Their sheen spray was flying off the shelves as it was only a pound so I was lucky to grab one of the last ones.


KeraCare can do no wrong in my eyes and even though their products are insanely pricey, I genuinely believe that you get what you pay for. This small bottle of their silken seal is around 13.99 but it lasts an awfully long time. I only use a tiny amount whenever I want to blow-dry my hair and it's enough for my entire head. It acts as a heat protectant whilst leaving a glossy, non-greasy, finish.


I'm sure you all know about the benefits of coconut oil by now and this is a mixture of coconut and almond oil. I've suffer from extremely dry scalp and this has been doing a great job of moisturising without leaving my hair greasy. It also works very well on the skin, leaving it silky and soft.

Have you tried any of these products before and what do you think of them?

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Smoothing Serum


Was there life before Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Smoothing Serum? It sure doesn't feel like it. Suffice to say that I'm absolutely in love with this product! I just got new extensions a couple of weeks ago and this serum has kept my hair looking as good as the day I did it. I use a mixture of Brazilian and Malaysian hair for my extensions and you're only supposed to use "European" hair products on it. I was previously using the popular Frizz-Eaze by John Frieda and while it worked well when my hair was still wet, it could make my hair look borderline greasy if I used even a smidgen too much when it was dry/ drying. The Paul Mitchell Serum works just as well wet or dry and it smells absolutely divine! It tames any flyaway hairs without making my hair looking greasy and it actually looks really good on my own relaxed hair as well.

The serum is really light so it doesn't just sit on your hair like other hair products tend to do. It left my hair with a nice glossy (non-greasy) finish. It's also supposed to reduce drying time but I didn't notice any huge difference personally. It's not available in the usual Boots or Superdrug so you have to go to a professional hairdresser to buy it. Alternatively, you can do what I did and grab a great deal off e-bay! The RRP is a tad pricey at £13.80 for the 100ml but I managed to find the 250ml for about £15 on e-bay and a little really does go a looooong way.

Pros: Smells gorgeous, does exactly what it says on the tin, lightweight, can be used wet or dry


Cons: Don't really have any, except the price I suppose.
