Part of Nexxus' speciality line of products for salon professionals this shampoo is from their Phyto Organics range which is all natural plant based haircare. Firstly i like the idea that this is a shampoo with natural, plant based ingredients such as Manuka Honey and Soapbark. You hear a lot these days about the hidden downsides to using products which are ram-packed with chemicals so by using a product like this i feel like i'm doing my green piece!
This shampoo is for extreme moisture, so for dry brittle hair like mine tends to be i figured it should be the perfect choice. And i must say i am extremely pleased with it. Often when i shampoo my hair it still feels brittle until i condition it. But when using this i can feel the moisturising benefits right away from when i wash the shampoo out of my hair. It also smells rather nice!
The sister product to the Theratin Extreme Moisture Shampoo, this Humectin Conditioner is also plant based and contains a moisturising blend of vitamins, minerals, Manuka Honey and Coconut Milk. The ultra hydrating emollients in this Conditioner are said to also improve elasticity, manageability and shine.
What i love about this is that there is also the option to leave this in your hair as a leave-in conditioner (obviously using slightly less product than you would if washing it out). But what i have been doing is putting this in my freshly shampooed hair as normal and then washing it out but not too thoroughly just for that extra moisture-quench! Definitely feeling the moisturising benefits of this product, something my dry, abused hair was probably crying out for!
The winner of InStyle's 2010 Best Beauty Buys Award, this is an interesting product. I love discovering innovative beauty products which are unlike anything i've used before and this is one of those products. So what exactly is it!? Well officially it is a protective spray ideal for protecting your hair against sun, sea and chlorinated water. BUT...This is an all-singing, all-dancing hair product. It has a UV filter, contains mineral oils, de-frizzes, anti-humidifies and adds oodles of shine to any hairdo! Its an ultra light mist-type spray so it keeps your hair smooth and light and its protective qualities preserve colour. It can be reapplied throughout the day as and when needed and still wont weigh your hair down.
Obviously i haven't been getting much sun, sea or chlorinated water here in London but because of all the other qualities of this spray i've been using it all the time! I use it as a heat protectant when i am straightening my hair and i also use it as a finishing spray to give my hair a nice shiny finish. Its also great to spray over your hair during the day to keep it looking healthy and alive during the day...or night! I really like this product and can imagine i will be singing it's praises even more during the summer and whilst on holiday in the sun this year!
From Kerastase's Resistance Range of products which are designed to strengthen weakened, damaged or fine hair. All of which apply to my hair! What attracted me to this product is the fact that it is thermo-activated which basically means that it has been specifically designed to be used with heat! Me being a heat-styling junkie i figured a hair product like this is exactly what i need! So basically, heat activates the reconstructive properties and benefits of this hair cream. This product strengthens the hair fibre from the inside and protects the surface of the hair and smoothes the hair from the root to the tip.
This is to be used on towel-dried hair so i have been using this after shampooing and conditioning my hair and before blow drying it. I feel like it does help my hair feel stronger and protected when i'm blow drying it. Hopefully over prolonged use i'll see further benefits of this product in the sense of it helping to strengthen my hair and not induce so much damage from all the heat i use!
This product is also from Kerastase's Resistance range. Spray Volumactive is designed for weak, fine hair, to enhance volume and expansion for fuller-bodied hair. My hair is surprisingly thin and i'd never considered that there was even a hair product available which physically remodels and expands the hair fibres to thicken fine or limp hair. So when i had my hair cut and the hairdresser used this i was naturally intrigued. Sprayed from the root onto towel-dried hair this product is said to give natural volume. Well i can honestly say that this spray does exactly what it says it will!
I was really impressed that i genuinely noticed a difference in the thickness of my hair. It had so much more body and volume once i'd sprayed this in and dried it as normal. I think its the fact that this spray actually expands the hair fibre and improves the elasticity of your hair as apposed to just adding bulk from the product itself is what makes it so great. My hair feels naturally thicker after using this not just thickened up with product, in fact you'r barely know i had any product in my hair!
