GHD IV Salon Styler

https://s3.amazonaws.com/luuux-original-files/bookmarklet_uploaded/Picture_2_423.png">

My camera is charging so couldn't get my own pic :[ . These straighteners are an absolute God send, I actually would have crap hair if these did not exist! . I have frizzy and curly/wavy hair that is very long and thick, and the normal stylers just didn't do the job and it took me forever. So when I saw these bigger plated straighteners specially made for thick or afro hair, I knew these would be so much better, and they really are! The big panels get more hair, and straighten larger sections so it doesn't take as long. They don't take too long to heat, they automatically switch off if you forget, and it has a super long cable, which is always useful!! They are expensive, and that is a downer, but I'd rather invest in a good pair that you know will work and will last ages rather then having to keep buying cheaper pairs that may not work as well and may not last as long! I have had my pair for 3 years now and they're the same as when I first got them! . The final result? Smooth, straight and shiny hair in no time. It has never been so easy to look fabulous! I actually couldn't believe how well these worked when I first got them, and I certainly couldn't live without them now!


Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Frizz Remedy

3 minute miracle

This is supposed to be a deep treatment for frizzy hair, however the miracle moist conditioner does more for my frizz then this does. So I really am disappointed as I had high hopes for an "intense frizz remedy." However, I guess it just wasn't meant to be, though, for the price it should have done a lot more then it did. My frizz was the same as it always was before the "deep treatment". Epic fail, I won't be buying this again!!

Aussie Frizz Miracle Shampoo & Conditioner

Frizz miracle is OK, that's all I can say really. It cleans hair and leaves it shiny, but it has done nothing for my frizz at all. I found that miracle moist de-frizzes my hair more then this one, and it smells nicer and it isn't a random blue colour like frizz miracle! I haven't been overwhelmed by this product at all, and considering the cost I was very disappointed at the performance or lack thereof. I will stick to miracle moist!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner

This is my go to shampoo & conditioner. I started using it as it was on offer, and noticed my hair was less frizzy and flyaway, and the only thing I had changed was this shampoo, so I am very impressed with this. It makes my hair very shiny, healthy, it makes my curls more defined and reduces frizz, even though it doesn't state that it would do that! I wouldn't be without this shampoo now. I find it is better at de-frizzing then the frizz miracle Aussie products. The downside? The price, its pretty damn expensive full price, and also the fact Aussie has not denied use of animal testing, as it is part of a bigger company that famously use animal testing.

Tresemme Waterless Shampoo

This is a foam that acts like a dry shampoo except it is supposed to wash, clean and de-frizz hair. Did it work? No! This made my hair super greasy and my hair was just as frizzy. I had to use the Tresemme dry shampoo to de-grease my hair and restore it to normal, and luckily the dry shampoo wonders. The smell is similar to the dry shampoo, however the perfomance is far behind! This seems to me like it is more like a gimmick then an actual useful product, however it proved to me how good the dry shampoo was in comparison, seeing as the waterless foam created such a greasy mess and the dry shampoo sorted it out no problem. I would advise the dry shampoo over this product, it just doesn't work, it de-freshes rather then refreshes. Maybe it would work on normal or dry hair, but certainly not hair that can go greasy.

Tresemme Dry shampoo

This is a good dry shampoo, and it most definitely works! It has a strong fragrance, more so than Batiste dry shampoo which I have also reviewed. This doesn't leave as much white residue in the hair like Batiste does, but it still leaves some residue! The downside for me is the price, it costs a lot more then Batiste, at least a couple of £ difference which for such similar products is a little rubbish. Overall I'd say if you thought less residue was worth paying a few £ more for then I say go for it, if you'd rather watch your pennies and the residue doesn't bother you, go for Batiste!

Batiste Dry Shampoo

This is a life saver! I get greasy hair really quickly, but my hair gets dry and if I wash it every day. I started using this after a hair dresser recommended it, and it really works, it refreshes my hair and gets rid of all the grease. It has a lemony fragrance to it, however there are a range of different fragrances such as floral or coconut etc. The downside with this product is the white powder it leaves in you hair. It works best if you have a hairdryer and blow the residue out, however there have been times where I haven't had a hair dryer and so it takes ages to brush or massage it out of the roots. However, I still depend on this product a lot, and the pros far outweigh the con! This is also a fairly decent price too, I always make sure I have a can around, I also have a travel size can for my bag!

Tigi Bed Head After Party

tigi bed head after party

This makes my hair so soft, and silky, and super shiny after I have styled it. I would say it doesn't get rid of my fly aways, but it makes my hair a lot nicer with it on, and it looks nicer. I find the big lid a bit of a waste of space, but I like the colour of the packaging. You need to use very little, I have had this tube 2 years and use it every other day! So it is worth the price tag since it is more of an investment. It is a white cream that has a lovely smell, you work a tiny bit through your hair and it tames it, makes it soft and shiny! It gives it a salon-like finish. Definitely a product I will repurchase.
