What is the Best Conditioner for Dry or Damaged Hair?

Since colouring my hair purple last year (after bleaching it), my hair became extremely damaged and tangles really easily. I've been looking for something to combat the dryness and to get my hair in better shape for a while now but nothing I tried has helped very much. When I found this Henna Treatment Wax Intensive Deep Conditioner in a local pharmacy for only €4.99, I had to get it and see if it helped. 

I'd heard from different people that this is supposed to be amazing and really restores your hair back to being healthy, shiny and soft. I also heard from my mom that it was a big thing to use years ago when she was young, that everyone was using henna treatments in their hair. So I started using it on my hair once a week. The way it works is that you use your shampoo as normal and then apply it like a normal conditioner, but then you leave it in your hair for a couple of hours, wrapped in a warm towel. Then you just wash it out like normal and dry your hair like you would usually do (I always allow my hair to dry naturally without using a hair dryer because my hair dries quite quickly and it's better for your hair not to use heat on it). 

After the first use, I didn't notice any difference in my hair. It still tangled really easily and was quite frizzy. I've been using it for 2 or 3 months now once a week and it has made a difference to my hair. Not an amazing difference where my hair is silky smooth and never tangles but it is easier to manage now. It definitely restored my hair somewhat. I'd say it takes a least 3 or 4 uses before you see a noticeable difference, but then you might see a difference quicker if your hair isn't as damaged as mine. 

This Henna Treatment Wax is by Beauty Formulas. As I already said, It was only €4.99 which is really affordable but I guess you get what you pay for. It did restore my hair somewhat but I don't think it is a revolutionary product that makes your hair instantly restored back to how it was before. So here is my question: What is the best conditioner out there for dry or damaged hair? Have you found one? Let me know in the comments below. 

I really need to sort my hair out soon, both colour and quality. I'm planning on going back to brown soon because the colour seems to be ruining it and also, I don't really like the colour anymore, especially when it gets faded looking. I hope you liked this blog post. If you did, the please give it a love on Bloglovin or give it a +1 on Google Plus. I hope you have a great day, and I'll talk to you soon.

Hair History

Hey guys, Today's blog post is going to be my hair history. My hair has always been a bit mad over the years so I thought I'd let you see some of the horrible pictures and show you what it was like.

This picture is a perfect example of my crazy hair. It looks pretty wild and crazy but this was probably the only time in my life where a bob actually seemed to suit me a bit.

I don't know what to say about this picture. I don't remember my hair ever being this short since being a toddler but apparently, it was. Also, I don't know whether that is a coat I'm wearing or overalls but this picture looks like I was dressing up as some sort of worker man. (Which I'm pretty sure I wasn't)

This picture shows the main problem that I had with my hair over the years; instead of growing downwards, it grew outwards. It basically looks like a triangle here...awkward.

I actually kind of like my hair here. At least I was trying to do something to it. So I went with the classic pigtails, only they don't look so classic on curly hair :P

Okay, what the hell happened in this picture?? My hair, and my sister's (who you can't see), is completely crazy. The good news is that I have confirmation from my mother that I never left the house with this hair, and that the picture was probably taken just after I woke up so nobody saw it....until now :O

I'm pretty sure that this picture was taken just after I had gotten my hair straightened for the first time. I look pretty proud of myself and you can tell that I was so happy to finally have "normal" hair.

Fast forward to like ten years later and you will see that I still like to straighten my hair (but mostly for events because it took too long to do every day). I'm sure there is a whole period of my life that I've missed in this post where I wore my hair in a bun for years, but that was also around the time where I liked to avoid cameras so not many pictures of that exist.

Finally, here is my hair looking pretty much the same as it does today (minus the ombre). I gave up the idea of straightening it because it took too much time and effort, so now, I mostly leave it as my natural curls.

If you haven't seen it already, then you might like to see my curly hair routine video that I put up a few weeks ago. In case you are wondering, the giveaway that I mention at the end of the video is now over, but hopefully, the curly hair tips will still help you.

I hope you liked this post :) If you did, please give it a like on Bloglovin or a +1 on Google Plus. What was your worst hairstyle over the years? Leave a comment down below.

My Curly Hair Routine

Hey guys, so today I just wanted to show you a video of my curly hair routine that I put on my YouTube channel last Monday. I know that having curly can be really annoying and difficult to manage so I thought that some of my curly haired readers would like to see it, and hopefully it could help them some bit. So without further ado, here is my curly hair routine video: 

I hope you liked this video. If you did, you can find a lot more like it on my YouTube channel plus a lot of completely different videos. Please SUBSCRIBE! It would make me really happy!!!

My Favourite Posts From 2013!

Hey everyone, I decided to do today's post because 2014 is fast approaching and I thought that we could say goodbye to 2013 with a post about all my favourite blog posts from 2013. I only started this blog in May  this year and it has already nearly got 150 followers on Bloglovin. This means so much to me and I really enjoyed 2013 because of all the blogging I was doing. Even if I was having a bad day or something, I always have the blog and all you lovely followers to cheer me up or give me something else to focus on. I'm really excited for 2014 and all the blogging I want to do this year. I want to do more look books and makeup tutorials in 2014 and really just try to make my blog the best that it can be. So here are my favourite blog posts from 2013. If you click on the titles it will bring you to the blog post.


Look book/ London clothes haul
This is my first look book post and I had so much fun doing it. I can't wait to do more look books in 2014.

This is one of my favourite makeup tutorials that I've done because I came out so like Selena's makeup and it's also a really pretty look.

Ombre??
This is a tutorial with pictures telling you how I ombred my hair using the Jerome Russell Bblonde highlighting kit and I loved the results.

This is my review of my ultimate favourite mascara; They're Real by Benefit. In this post I show the massive difference between wearing no mascara and one coat of this one.

Casual Comfy College Look

This post is just a look I put together for College (Uni) that is really comfortable to wear but also looks quite cool.

I'm not very good at nails but I love these crackle nails because they are so easy to do and look really cool. I'm hoping to get better at nails this year and do more nails posts for you all.

Don't Give Up

This is one of my more motivational blog posts. It is about not giving up on things when you aren't automatically amazing at them to begin with. Everything takes time.

I hope you liked this post. Thank you all for read my blog and leaving lots of lovely comments over 2013. I hope that you will continue to read it in 2014 :) Happy new year everyone, I hope it's a great one!

Friday Favourite #17 Tangle Teezer

Hey Guys! This week's Friday Favourite is the Tangle Teezer. I really love this product. It is a must-have for anyone with thick, curly hair. My hair is so curly that it usually takes ages to brush through but the Tangle Teezer cuts that time in half. I'm really so glad that I bought it. It's very expensive though at €15.99, so I think that if you have fairly straight hair, you might be better off with a regular hairbrush unless you wanted to use it for backcombing. 

On the box it says it works by using "Memory flex technology for speedy and gentle results. Ideal on wet and dry hair." I have used it on both wet and dry hair and it's a lot faster than if I used a regular brush for both, but I think it works better on wet hair. I usually use it to brush my conditioner through my hair in the shower and it brushes it through while getting rid of all the tangle and knots within around five minutes, whereas with a normal brush it could take fifteen to twenty minutes sometimes because of how long, thick and curly my hair is. It is something that has annoyed me for years (to where I sometimes considered pulling a Britney :P) so to find something that can keep my hair manageable, and is quick to do, was amazing.

It says also on the box that it is ideal for all hair types so you can get it if you have straight hair, it will work but I just think that if your hair is fairly manageable, you don't need to waste €16 on something to brush it when you can brush your hair in a short amount of time with a regular hairbrush that costs €3.

Overall, I just can't say enough good things about this product. I just love how easy it is to do my hair now so for me it was worth the money, expensive as it was. Do you have a Tangle Teezer? Do you love it as much as me or do you think it didn't work well with your hair-type? Leave a comment below :)
