So many things I want to put up, so little energy! Course has me wiped out buuuutttt here's some stuffs anyways.
Two of my favourite products!
I picked these both up on sale for around $3-$4 each, I'm not sure what I'm going to do once I run out because they seem to normally cost about twice that o_o
SO
Dove Nourishing Oil Serum
This stuff is aaaamaaaazing. I bleach the underside of my hair to colour it with "crazy colours", and due to my many allergies blah blah blah even my older natural hair is having a little bit of a hard time staying awesome.
The bottle is a little weird for me. If you have slippery hands and you pick it up, it can be a bit difficult to stop it going off on adventures.
The back says something like three full pumps (I think, it's been a while since I looked).. I prefer to use what I think are probably half pumps, that way you don't overdo it.
When I first started using it I needed quite a bit. I figured that I didn't exactly treat my hair like a princess so it probably needed the love.
It made my hair silky and shiny and wasn't greasy, oily, or sticky -which is a problem a lot of hair treatments at the moment have, especially if they have oils in them.
Over time my hair has become better -I can't say if it's the 2L water a day I drink now, or the serum, but I do think that the serum does have something to do with it.
I only need about half the amount I used to use now, and it does help keep my frizz under control.
The first couple of weeks I used it, the smell was a little bit strong, but now I barely even notice it!
I put it through my hair straight after I get out of the shower, and a bonus is it doesn't make the pillow all gross. It goes on your hair and stays there.
Elvive Arginine Resist Conditioner
I try to keep as sulfate free as possible to be kind to my hair and scalp, so I have not tried the shampoo of this range (it would be great if Loreal went sulfate free in all of their products!)
I picked out this product for the same reason as I picked the Dove serum, I needed some hair care blah blah.
I did have a bit of hair breakage (and before you roll your eyes and go "well DUH you bleach your hair!" I actually have had more of a problem with natural breakage than bleached breakage!), I am a bit harsh to my hair, I have it tied up most of the time and I don't take the time to do proper deep conditioning or anything.
The ad claimed a lot so I thought I'd give it a go.
I was pretty impressed -though I wasn't expecting much.
I can't say it lived up to the advertisement's claims, but it has reduced my breakage and fall by a fair bit and it does seem to be a bit tougher and able to handle more.
I use it in conjunction with my sukin moisture restore and schwarzkopf colour protect (and occasionally a couple of other things).
Sooo there you go! Two pretty good products I think!
Keep in mind that what works for me won't work for everyone, but hopefully these two products will help some people have nicer hair
