All About | Hair Care

It may seem silly or straight forward but they are small things you can do to help improve and care for your hair. Prehaps trivial but these have all been tried and tested by me.

Use A Hair Mask/ Oil
If hair has heat styling tools on it on a daily basis use a deep condition hair mask once a week. Also try and go at least 1-2 days without any heat. Leave in conditioners are great too. Any that have nourishing will help.

Especially for dry and thick hair, use a hair oil such as Moroccan Oil. A little goes a long way and your hair will benefit so much from it.

Rinse With Lukewarm Water
In the shower, wash your hair with luke warm water as to not burn your scalp. Do a final rinse with cold water. Like with your face, it'll help to seal off the hair and close the end shafts.

Never Rub Hair Viscously
When towel drying hair, never rub as this causes more friction and tangles, leading to more damaged ends. Instead incase the towel around the hair and slip it down from the roost to tips.

Snag Free Hair Accessories
As for accessories use snag free hair ties/ elastics. Use bobby pins with the flat/ smooth side facing up and the furtherest away from the scalp. Use a wide tooth comb on wet hair- prevents hair from damaging. Use any type of brush on dry hair.

Use Appropriate Products for Hair Condition
Coloured hair should always have some type of targeted treatment whether this be hair shampoo and conditioner or hair mask. Otherwise the colour can fade, turn brassy or another colour. Fine hair shouldn't have a heavy shampoo as it'll be dragged down and look limp. Determine your hair type and concern and choose products to suit this.

If you have any other suggestions please let me know!

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
