Bold, Bright & Blonde!

Due to the rapid change in weather (will we ever see Summer?!) , I've decided to do a post on brightening shampoos. My hair has been really dull and dark recently, and being a natural blonde i'm always looking forward to the Summer to get some rays through my hair. Unfortunately, British weather isn't looking too good recently and i've resorted to trying some colour enhancing shampoos, to give my hair the little lift it needs. I thought i'd share three of the shampoos that i've been using, and give them a quick review...

Bleach London : Silver Shampoo (£5.00)

After having been recommended this product from my housemate I had high hopes for this. I used it a few weeks ago when I was in desperate need of brightening my hair before my University Summer Ball. I used it 3 days straight, and left it in for 5 minutes before washing it out. It's great! I know it suggests using the product every other day, but I was on a tight schedule and decided to ignore the bottle (silly I know). Due to using it three days in a row my hair felt unhealthy and dry. Overall this is a super product, it's perfect for anyone looking to brighten their hair over a week-two week process.

Pro:Voke : Touch of Silver (£3.19)

Alike the previous product I had heard many people praise this shampoo, and decided to give it a go myself. I used this product over the Christmas period, and unfortunately didn't see any improvement in the colour or brightness of my hair. Although it's a great price, you're better off buying a good quality shampoo for a pound or two more. 

Charles Worthington : Violet Shampoo (£5.99)

I love this shampoo! Although it doesn't work as fast as Bleach London, it's perfect as a weekly shampoo. Unlike other brightening products it keeps your hair hydrated whilst also giving it that extra glow. 

WINNER: Charles Worthington! 

Hope this helps anyone looking to give their hair a sun-kissed glow.

Dry Shampoo Best Picks!

Festival season is well and truly upon us, and for those of you braving the mud pools and mosh pits here's my top three dry shampoos to get your hair through the weekend....

1. Tony&Guy Texture Dry Shampoo

Last but not least Tony&Guy's Matte Texture Dry Shampoo. This product can be used not only as a quick fix in the morning, but also as a beauty product even when you hair is already grease free. Due to the matte texture element of the product this can be used as a daily treatment when you hair is looking flat and dull. Simply spray on to give you hair that bouncy texture, perfect for a festival chic look!

2. Batiste Dry Shampoo with a hint of colour for light and blonde hair

This Dry shampoo is great for Blondes! This specific product is specifically for blonde hair, and has a hint of colour to reduce the white powdery substance often left after use. I highly recommend this product! For more information visit my previous post Batiste Dry Shampoo Review. I also recommend the Batiste Coconut and Exotic Tropical Dry Shampoo for a quick fix with a great smell. 

3. Percy and Reed's No-fuss Fabulous Dry Shampoo

This product is perfect for all hair-types! As a liquid based dry shampoo- rather than powder based- this treatment leaves hair feeling refreshed instantly without visible white remnants being left on you hair. Also perfect for adding texture to your hair, spray into your roots and run through with your hands to create a wild and free look perfect for that festival vibe. 

For those of you off to festivals I hope this post has helped you choose your go-to hair product!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Review

Batiste Dry Shampoo with a hint of colour for light and blonde hair...

Being blonde myself i've been meaning to review this product for a while. The product is supposed to instantly refresh hair on those days where you simply don't have enough time to shampoo. Unlike their other products this specific hair treatment is for blonde hair, and has a hint of colour to reduce the white powdery substance often left after use. After using the product- until the very last drop- I have decided that it is simply amazing! It does exactly what it says, refreshes and cleans without leaving a white layer on your hair. I'd recommend this product to any other blondes looking for a quick and easy dry shampoo for those rushed mornings.
