Ultimate Blends - The delicate Soother ♡

Hi hunny's! 

Being a hairdresser, I like to try the high street products that you guys rave about so I can have an alternative to recommend to clients who buy from the shelves instead of in salons. 

Recently I have heard great reviews  on Ultimate Blends 'The Delicate Soother'. I LOVE some of the others in the Ultimate blends range so why not give this one a go!? 

 I picked these up in ASDA for £2 each! So £6 for shampoo, conditioner and a body lotion. What a steal!!

First of all the smell of this range is beautiful! I could smell it without even opening the bottle! The main ingredients are rice cream and oat milk. The packaging is sooo pretty and girly. Almost a little like the dove packaging as they always go for white and a neutral colour. 

Even the name 'The delicate soother' sounds comforting!! I was worried that it would make my hair lank as my hair is quite fine, but I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised. This shampoo really soothes your scalp leaving it feeling moisturised and super clean. The shampoo itself is really quite thick, so you don't need much of it. It lathers up lovely and leaves your hair feeling so clean and moisturised. The conditioner is a lot thinner than I thought as I thought it would be more of a treatment style but never the less it did the trick, detangling and nourishing my hair.

All in all I am pleased with this product. And will defo re purchase! You will not be disappointed!

QUICK & EASY:Hair mask!

 EGG, YOGHURT & COCONUT OIL HAIR MASK

  Now Here's a post I have been meaning to do for awhile, now we are in the winter months its time to give your hair some TLC.  The cold weather really takes its toll on our hair and It's time to bite back! We swap our moisturisers so why not give your hair a treat. The ingredients I am going to use are easy to get hold of and some of you will have them in your cupboards anyway!

Eggs! Yes Eggs can be a great source of protein for your hair. The yolk is rich in fats and proteins which is extremely moisturising. The whites contain bacteria eating enzymes that cleanse hair and scalp from unwanted oils. For normal hair use whole egg to condition; use just yolks to moisturise dry, brittle hair; and use just whites to treat oily hair. For me, I have a super oily scalp so this is a must. 

Yoghurt! Yogurt can help reverse hair damage caused by product build up and air pollution. After a weekend in London my hair felt sooo brittle & dry, and with it being the party season and all I haven't been the kindest to my hair (I'm sorry i still love you) The lactic acid in yogurt gently strips away dirt while the milk fat moisturises. Double YAY! 

Coconut Oil! Now we all know how amazing coconut oil is for our hair and body, this is a vital ingredient in our hair mask as it moisthurises, prevents breakage and is PACKED with nutrients to keep our hair strong and healthy such as Vitamin E, Vitamin K and Iron. Each of these plays a key role in keeping your hair soft and supple, and Iron can even eradicate dandruff from the scalp. 

If your thinking of having a go, Mix all these kitchen essentials in one and apply from tip to root, leave for 20 mins and rinse with cool water.  I like to wear it up in a bun and keep it off my face and skin because lets face it... it's raw egg!! Let me know how you get on I guarantee you will love it! 

happy hair masking !

whats your favourite? let me know, Fran xxx

EIMI Wella range.

Wella Proffesionals EIMI range

 Here is my next best kept secret. I haven't been on the blog for a while as I've been poorly :( 

Recently we've had in a new range of products called the EIMI range which includes volume, smooth, texture, shine and finishing hairpsrays.

I have used a few products in the range and got on really well with them. Here are some reviews on the products I have used.

Dry me, dry shampoo is amazing and creates volume and texture. I always struggle with greasy roots so this for me is a life saver. Most dry shampoo's leave a white residue on the hair making it hard to get rid of or hide, this one is clear when sprayed and doesn't need as much rubbing in. It is matte to refresh your hair and absorb any oils from the scalp. Great when you want a lie in! Compared to other Dry shampoo's e.g the trusty Batiste, it is quite expensive at£12.50. I know its quite steep but its worth it, it makes your hair look like its been washed that day. I suggest using this for special occasions and sticking to batiste for everyday use. I also like to use this even when your hair isn't dirty and you just want to add bit of volume to it.

 Sugar lift 

This is another winner in the range in my eyes. It's enriched with sugar to provide lift, shine and touchable grip on the hair. Apply to wet hair for a textured and volumed style or use on dry hair for a more settled style. This is great for people with fine or flat hair as it creates root lift and holds it. This is also Great for hair ups as it makes the hair more grippy and therefore stays where you put it and helps backcombing stay in!

 Eimi Stay styled hairspray
This is a lovely workable hairspray that is 

great to use when doing hair up's. I used to use the Schwartskopf Silhouette flexible hold hairspray. Until now I didn't realise how strong that was. Say for instance your client wanted loose curls and a braid, you need the curls to still be workable so that they separate when it comes to the plait. This hairspray provides exactly that and still has enough hold in to hold up on its own. I will most certainly be reordering this one. I do a lot of occasion hair and I usually use the a brand with a passion for delivering innovative and creative hair care products. This protects hair from the effects of humidity, harmful UV rays and heat damage caused by styling tools to leave you with smoother, frizz-free hair.
