That Natural Glow...

Balm Balm - Little Miracle Rosehip Serum  I think this is the third bottle I've purchased, so I obviously love it lol. I think for the price its a great product and works so well for my skin. I use it in the evening as part of my skincare routine before bed and wake up with lovely, young, smooth poreless looking skin. One thing I would mention is that this is not just Rosehip oil alone, it has a mixture of different oils which I think is a bonus as they work well together and the product smells amazing! I have a full review on my blog.  Evolve Organic Beauty - Nourishing Hair Elixir I really enjoyed using this, hair felt softer and smoother, I used a few drops on my wet hair and some on my ends when my hair was dried. I can't say anything bad about this product, its natural and contains argan oil which is great for hair. I love trying new products so not sure if I would buy this product again anytime soon, although I would recommend it as its a great n...

I loveee this! I used to use the Kerastase Ultime Elixirs or whatever they were called, they smelled amazing and made my hair feel great, however I wanted to move away from chemical and artifical based products, and look for something abit for organic or natural.  I came across this brand on Instagram, they have alot of followers and some interesting looking products. I came across this Hair Elixir, and looked at the ingredients, and its obviously contained with oils that are perfect for the hair.  Even though it has oils in it, it feels more like a serum, which is perfect, its light, sort of has the consistency of water if you shake the bottle about, so you know its not going to make the hair feel heavy and greasy like you have a pile of product in it. I feel like this is the perfect hair serum for ALL hair types, its so softening, my hair feels amazing, gives a lovely shine, but most of all my hair feels and looks healthy. I use a few drops when I come out the showe...

Looking for alternative styling products minus all the bad ingredients is pretty hard. I picked Naturtint's styling mousse up from my local Holland and Barretts. The reviews seemed pretty good with not much negatives so I bought this when it was on offer for £7.99 rather than paying full price which was £10.99 I believe. I actually really like this mousse, it's more lightweight and keeps hair soft and natural looking, yet fixing my natural curls and defining them. To describe the foam, it feels like bubble bath water minus the scent lol. Unlike drugstore Mousse's this product does not make your hair sticky, crunchy, or hard. I think this is why its perfect for second or third day hair as you can build up as much product and it will never feel crunchy, the worst feeling ever! My curls feel very soft and bouncy which also gives the look a more natural softer feel to it.  How I use it Once my hair is washed and conditioned, I towel dry let my hair air dry without no...

So this range is called the 'volumising hair therapy' range.  I read some pretty decent reviews on Dr Organic so I thought I'd give this range a try as its so easily available at Holland and Barretts. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and would buy this range again as its volumising and thickening but softening at the same time. I have used both Shampoo and Conditioners until they are empty, I have a variety left over products on my bathtub shelf but always picked these up when washing my hair, usually I don't get through a bottle unless I like it, so I defo recommend these! Most shampoos wow me on the first wash and give false hope...I'm sure we've all felt that way? Then the 2nd or 3rd wash was just ok, hair feels its usual flat self again. Well not with this range, it delivered right until the last drop. I though it would be drying on my thick hair but after using other natural brands, that stripped my hair; felt it feeling dry, rough and ...

Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Multi Benefit Shampoo and Conditioner Review what a long name for a product... I came across this in Superdrugs for £9.99 each. There is a hefty 379ml in this so kind of worth the £££££! I have never tried Shea Moisture before thinking its more catered towards afro/Caribbean hair and that it would be too heavy for my hair. This range in particular caters for all hair types as it says on the bottle so thought its a good place to start. I have thick wavy dry hair anyways, so I could probably get away with using there more moisturising products time to time - something I might try in the future.  I love the fact this doesn't have any bad sulphates, SLS, Parabens etc. Age defy, Colour Protect, Soften, Hydrate, Revive Body...only some of the things it claims to do, basically what the name is 'multi benefit'. Apart from the weird scent that I can't pinpoint what it is, I actually really like this. It does a reall...

PHB Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner - Lavender and Mint Review Slowly moving away from chemical based products but I've been trying a few natural shampoo and conditioners for dry, coloured and wavy hair and they have been too thick with moisturising ingredients that have weighed down my hair.  I came across this brand when I purchased their foundation, and saw that they do a haircare range too. I decided to pick the balancing range as its suitable for everyday use (not that I wash my hair daily!) and that its also anti dandruff. I don't get dandruff but in the winter months my head feels extra dry and itchy sometimes so I felt this would be gentle enough to use and is also fine to use on coloured hair.  With all natural shampoos you are lucky to get a decent lather first time round, with natural shampoos though I do like to wash my hair twice with it and in the second shampoo you get a good lather. This stuff smells so amazing, refreshing and invigorating you ...

  I finished the whole £24 bottle! I don't know why or if you would agree but I can't justify spending that much on a bottle of shampoo, natural or not!.. Especially if you have to keep buying it again and again. However when they say it lasts 3 months worth then I did the math and thought ok then it's worth it I suppose.  In fact it lasted me 4 months should I say so well worth it. I'm writing this review quite a while after I've used this and thinking why did I just not buy this again?! At the moment I'm getting through my PHB S & C which I'm trying to finish although I don't feel it suited my hair type; however once that is finished I will probably get this Argan Shampoo again along with the conditioner or try their different range. This shampoo is perfect for thick, dry wavy or damaged coloured hair. I know its for hair loss which I originally bought it for due to alot of hair fall in my pregnancy and post pregnancy. I feel that ...

  So I picked this up from Boots, was glad to see they had the option of natural and no harsh chemical alternatives to the usual hair products. I picked up the 'nourishing Ylang-ylang and sage' shampoo and conditioner. I think they had a moisturising range and also an cleansing range. I though this would be better for me due to having unruly thick and dry hair. Straight to the point I have to say I'm not that impressed. The products certainly do not suit my thick wavy hair it is way to drying. The shampoo does a good cleanse although its drying which I'm ok with but the conditioner should bring moisture back to my hair which it didn't. I feel this would better suit finer that's already in good condition. I also had to use twice as much conditioner as it wasn't doing much which means I ran out of conditioner alot quicker. My Final Thought Price was reasonable but disappointed the shampoo and conditioner didn't suit my hair. Would of been so co...

I lost alot of hair during and after my pregnancy and taking these tablets really helped grow my hair back around my hairline and near my temples where my hair fell out. Despite alot of hair falling out I feel these product has still helped my hair feel thick and healthy and has helped assisted my new hair growing back. I have not noticed change in my nails, I keep my nails short so they always pretty strong, my skin has been clear, and probably alot clearer all round really which could be due to the tablets. My Final Thought I took these for my hair and my hair generally feels so much better. It was falling out so much and now my hair doesn't fall out that much as it did before in clumps, just get the usual fall out in the shower now.

Organix Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Review   I'll get straight into the review...I don't like the smell! It smells too much like a perfume, not natural enough. If you like cosmetic fragrance smells then this will be fine for you. I'm not one that bothers too much about fragrances, but I like my hair smelling fresh, or fruity or something thats abit more natural. I would of preferred the natural smell of argan which is just nutty compared to this. How I use it/makes my hair feel It says its a 'Weightless reviving dry oil' which it is - it has a slippery thin textured oily feel. It's not greasy or heavy on the hair, its almost like a thin smooth textured serum. I spray this on my hair when its damp, nearly dried and it helps get the tangles out my hair when I'm combing it through and I'm able to blow dry my hair smoothly too. I have very thick hair so I did not find it helped my hair look any better, although it did help make it feel smooth . ...

Jason's Jojoba Shampoo & Conditioner Review  -   ( M y current shampoo/conditioning products) I don’t know where to start with this product. What I can say is over the few years I’ve bought it over 7 times so it can’t be crap. I wouldn’t buy something again if I remembered it to be crap! I have done a review of the Jason's Apricot S & C for shiny hair - that didn't do much for me so I wouldn't repruchase that. I have used the Aloe Vera range for dry hair that needs moisturising. That was great, but over time my waves felt weighed down and not bouncy. I have come back to the Jojoba S & C for long hair and this is my review... I repurchased this ( again) as I was trying to look for a natural/organic shampoo and conditioner that was in my budget and I always fall back to this one when that happens! I’m tempted to buy other brands but something that’s like 200ml and over £15 would finish so quick for me as I have thick mid back-length ...

Australian Organics Shampoo and Conditioner - for Dry, coloured or chemically treated hair I bought this from Hollands and Barratts, was looking for a natural shampoo and conditioner range and I got the 'Intensive Care shampoo' and 'Nourishing Restorative conditioner' 'for dry coloured or chemically treated hair'. I will go straight into my review and say the products I got were just okay. First few washes my hair felt nice; very cleansed and healthy looking, but after finishing all of the bottles now I feel my hair didnt feel improved or look better in anyway.  One thing I did like about this product is how refreshing it made my scalp feel. My scalp felt very clean and my roots felt soft. It's not a harsh product but cleans your roots and hair thoroughly. Most Natural shampoos leave a residue or don't clean properly so if your looking for a shampoo that thoroughly cleans then I would recommend this product.  My mid-lengths and ends of hair fe...

Grapeseed Glossing Serum by The Body Shop   Winter's here...and those frizzy hair days are back! My waves start too look rough, dry and basically lack lustre and shine!  I've been through bottles of Kerastase Elixir  (which was in fact pretty good), Aussie's Curl Definition Serum (hair felt greasy), John Friedas range for Frizzy hair (hmm okay), Macadamia range (good, but feels like its coating hair)....and then I wanted to try something different. I was intending to get another bottle of the Kerastase Elixir although I felt abit relectant to pay £30 for it. Don't get me wrong it's a great investment, but when you on a budget it's abit tough departing on £30 on a hair product! Anyways, whilst browsing online for hair serums, I stumbled upon on Body Shop's Grapeseed Glossing Serum. It had really brilliant reviews, and I thought it's worth a try specially if your on a budget. I'm not the biggest fan of Body Shop; their products are not ...

Grow Gorgeous Hair Serum   I tried this when it first came out, I was very intrigued and curious to what it claims to do...(which seems to be a miracle!)   It claims to 'help' your hair appear to look longer, fuller and thicker looking. I think they picked their words well (and carefully!) as it doesn't claim to 'make' hair fuller, thicker etc but just 'appear'.   Well I'm not good with keeping a routine with something and I did use this bottle till the end which was 3 months like it says, however to see the full benefits it says you have to use it for 6 months, which would be two bottles of this stuff, as each bottle lasts 3 months roughly.   What I did notice with this product is that my hair fell out a lot less or hardly in the shower. When I massaged it into the scalp my hair at the roots did feel thicker and more dense, however I have thick hair to begin with so I was not entirely convinced. I think if I massaged anything int...
