loreal paris studio line hot and smooth cream

If you follow me on instagram then you know I have a lot of hair! It's quite thick and is natural curly and frizzy and as I have no intention of getting it cut short I'm always trying products to help keep my hair healthy. I want to be able to keep it long so I'm still trying to find the products that will stop it from drying out and keep me from getting split ends on ends! After only recently just getting my first hair dryer at the age of 19, I've never really seen the need for one before and I've still go to master the art of drying my hair without it being too big! It means I'll probably start using a lot more heat on my hair more regularly I wanted to make sure I was using a good heat protector.

The one I'm currently using is the Loreal Studio Line Hot and Smooth Cream,which promises a 3 day straight with a frizz free and polished finish. This is a pretty affordable product at only a couple of pounds and you get 200ml of product. It's in an easy open top bottle and so it's easy to get a little bit of of the cream out. I find this works best for me to apply a little bit in my fingers, rub then together and then rub it through the lengths of my damp long hair, before I use a hair dryer. It's just got normal non chemically but hair product smell and doesn't leave your hands feeling sticky or oily and so it is a lovely product to use. This product definitely protects my hair and after blow drying my hair it feels smooth and healthy and not dry at all! It probably also would help tame your hair for three days, by the second day my hair isn't perfectly straight any more but still feels healthy.

For me this works best when I used it with a hair dryer and on damp hair, however it says on the bottle you can straighten your hair straight after. However just to be on the safe side I'd definitely use a little bit of heat protection on dry hair, and I'm still searching for the perfect heat protection to use on dry hair, so any recommendations would be welcome.

natural world moroccan argan oil

Natural World's Moroccan Argan Oil is a moisture repair hair oil treatment, I've never used any form of oil on my hair before unless it's been in my shampoo so I was unsure what to expect. My hair was beginning to feel dry and a bit "lifeless" so I thought for a few pounds this could be worth a try! The packaging says that "this luxurious and lightweight hair treatment oil is infused with precious certified organic Argan Oil, known for its ability to lock in moisture, nourish, smooth, repair and instantly restore shine and softness. Silky perfection for all hair types" and that's a pretty big claim for a product. Though I have been impressed as it has restored my hair and made it feel so much more healthier, so much that I've used it every wash since I've used it and I can instantly tell if I haven't used it.

Also there isn't one set way to apply this, you can apply it to the ends of damp hair, comb through dry hair, used before shampooing in the shower or mixing a little bit with your conditioner, and after blow drying. I've tried most of these and I think it's easier to mix a few drops with my conditioner and this makes my hair feel a lot softer and harsh. Although I am interest to try it after blow drying as it says it will maintain frizz, which sadly I haven't mastered the art of blow drying my hair without it resembling hermonie granger yet.

It's also purse friendly option and a couple of pounds for 100ml it's such good value for a good product that works, and as you're only using a few drops at a time it'll last such a long time. I'd definitely recommend this, but I've never tried any other argan oils before so it could be the actual product rather than the brand's version that I like.

mark hill miracOILicious

As my hairs been feeling a little sad and dry recently I thought I'd give it a little treat so I brought Mark Hill's MiracOILicious 2 Minute Intensive Treatment. It is described as an exotic blind of 14 of the finest essential oils and plant extracts (and lists them all, most of which I've never heard of) and is for dry and damaged hair and claims that it will leave your hair looking healthier and shinier then you ever thought possible.

It comes in a large tub (200ml) and you just scope some out with your fingers and use as a conditioner on wet hair after shampooing and leave in for 2 minutes. I must admit after using it my hair definitely does feel in a better condition and looks a lot healthier. The black packaging does give it a serious sort of look and the smell isn't horrible but it definitley reminds you that it's got different oils and plant extracts in. However if it works and makes your hair look shinier it doesn't matter what it looks or smells like really so I'd say this is a nice little treat for when you're hair's looking a little down.
