Lately I've been feeling like a walking, talking example of badly conditioned hair. All that regular straightening, occasional colouring and harsh winter weather seems to have wreaked havoc on my poor tresses.
One day when heading for the shower I noticed that all we had was a shampoo bar and a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. Well, I couldn't use shampoo alone without any conditioning, so I went with the 2-in-1. However, this caused a major build-up of residue in my hair causing it to look dull. Plus, while rubbing shampoo into my scalp is fine, rubbing conditioner into the roots can cause hair to look greasy, but with a 2-in-1 you can't concentrate this on only the ends.
So, after some complaining to my mum that I needed some conditioner, she allowed me to follow her on her walk through the rain to Asda. While she got food for dinner, I stood in the aisle where I can normally be found in a supermarket - the haircare aisle! I scanned what was on offer and my eyes fixated on the Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner. The word 'miracle' seemed like a rather hasty claim for them to make, however I have been known to be gullible, and my precious money often falls into the hands of some clever marketing scheme. So I joined my mum in the queue and handed it over to her, while trying to avoid the question of price. However, as we left the store she soon looked at the receipt where she saw the 'shocking' price of £3.49. To me, the price of beauty is never too high. But my mum is one of those lucky people who can put anything in her hair and it will still look perfect, so anybody spending anything over £2 on haircare products seems insane to her!
After getting the shopping home, I surveyed the bottle closer. It was a 250ml bottle of 'moisture infuser' for £3.49, created for dry/damaged hair. The actual bottle is white, which doesn't appeal to me as it makes it difficult for you to tell how much is left. They have added the cute detail of kangaroos imprinted around the top of the bottle. The lid is one you push down and then the conditioner squeezes it's way out of a little slit.
I decided I'd try smelling it. So I unscrewed the whole lid and gave it a sniff. I was expecting the 'bubblegum smell' that everyone raves about when speaking of Aussie products, however I was greeted instead by a smell that reminded me of milk. Yuck.
Anyway, I decided I'd give it a test So I washed my hair first with my usual Lush 'Irresistible Shine' shampoo bar. I then checked the directions. I noticed the Aussie Philosophy; 'There's more to life than hair, but it's a good place to start.' And I really couldn't agree more. They said for you to work the conditioner through your hair. I did so and as I did, I felt my hair detangling. They say that you should rinse well with warm water. I did this, and it rinsed quite quickly, plus left my hair in great condition, even when wet. They then say, for extra shine, you should rinse you hair with cold water. This is something I normally do anyway, as it not only adds shine but it seals the cuticle. So I rinse my hair with cold water which, by the way, can be quite a shock to the system! I noticed that when the conditioner is out of the bottle it has somewhat improved, so I'm guessing the milky scent was induced by the plastic bottle. Finally I could catch a faint waft of that bubblegum scent. However, it is a smell I doubt will be to everybody's pleasure.
I began to towel dry my hair then, once damp, left it to dry naturally. My hair is dry all over, but in particular at the front. Normally the only way to smooth the dryness at the front is with my straighteners. However, when dried, my hair was all-over in good condition, with a consistent softness and shine.
Impressive... very impressive. I had never before found a conditioner that could actually moisturise the WHOLE of my hair but this was it. Sadly, the smell I had grown to love does fade quite quickly. But the condition lasts until the very next wash!
Aussie say that if you're using a good conditioner, it doesn't matter how much you use, it'll still work. And sure enough I only need to use a little of this. So I reckon my 250ml bottle will be lasting a LONG time, which gives it a fantastic value for money! It can be bought in supermarkets and pharmacies. You can pick up a bottle almost anywhere that sells haircare products. I recommend this to anyone who needs a shot of moisture in their hair. If it works for me, it could probably work for anybody.
Advantages: You only need a pea sized amount - honest ! Disadvantages: Doesn't small as nice as the shampoo
...for £5' offer on the Aussie brand and you should take advantage and get stocked up.
Well go on then... you can read the review later !
I stumbled across this lesser known brand purely by mistake (and because I am always one for a bargain). Having long, thick, out-of-control and coloured hair, I have to wash my hair at least every other day and always need to use conditioner just to enable me to run a brush or comb through it. I have therefore, ... ...almost pearlescent in colour.
Aussie claim the secret is the use of the Australian Queensland Macadamia Nut - whatever it is, it works. Honest, scouts honour.
Promise me that unless you are bald, you'll go out and try this. Let me know how you get on if you do. You won't be disappointed.
MIRACLE MOIST WORKS MIRACLES. PROMISE.
Facts:

...advise her clients to use Aussie products if they can, because with over 25 hair products you can mix and match to suit your hair type, along with the styling products too, which work really well with the shampoos and conditioners.
I have really flyaway and fine hair which goes really dry in the heat, and really dry in the cold, and really frizzy in the damp. Basically, I can never do anything with it whilst living in the UK!! So one day I decided ... ...I saw some of this Aussie Moist on offer. A big flashing "BARGAIN" light lit up in my head; if I'm going to try this stuff I may as well try it while its on offer!!!
So I bought it, and I have never looked back! I even buy it when it's not on offer!

The thing I like about this product is that you only have to use the smallest amount, which makes the price worthwhile and makes the bottle last ages. It makes your hair soft and ...

After just a minute your hair will ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Seemed to leave loads of build-up
...a big fan of the Aussie range, but I am not too keen on this particular product at all. Billed as a conditioner able to add moisture to hair, I though it would be great as I was trying to grow out the remains of a perm which had dried my hair . But sadly, it did not live up to expectation. Instead of adding moisture it simply seemed to add build-up and leave my hair duller than ever, and feeling somehow weighted down. The dry ends got no better, ...

Advantages: Effective, does what it claims to, doesn't weigh hair down Disadvantages: None, really - but rinse it out well!
I never ever seem to get to the end of my shampoo and conditioner simultaneously, and a few months ago when I got to the end of my Aussie Miracle MoistConditioner (which was OK, but slightly too heavy for my hair) I decided to give Charles Worthington's range another go and I'm glad I did. It seems to be just the thing for my hair.
The change in water between university and home confused my hair over three years and by the time I finished studying, it had changed from a mop that could look greasy if left unwashed two nights running to this puzzled thing with drier roots than I'd ever had since I hit my teens. After much experimentation (including a brief infatuation with the Think Happy Organic Surge range which came to an end when Boots discontinued it) my hair needed moisture desperately. Charles Worthington's Dream Hair range had ...
Advantages: Smells divine, leaves hair replenished and feeling great Disadvantages: A tad expensive
money well invested, particularly when you see the results. The bubblegum fragrance is another big plus for this shampoo and you'll want to use it again and again. For best results I follow with 'Aussie Miracle MoistConditioner'. ...
Advantages: Average results Disadvantages: Didn't deliver

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo Review
I had seen adverts and recommendations for the Aussie range of hair care products in all my girly magazines. And after trying a sample of the 3-minute miracle conditioner and liking the results, I thought I might as well give their shampoo ago.
I searched in Boots and SuperDrug and my local supermarket and was shocked to find the price for a 300ml bottle was £3.99. This might not be soo expensive to most of you reading this, but because my hair is soo long and I have to wash it every single morning, shampoo runs out very quickly in the Wild household! Plus, I'm used to paying £2 maximum for my regular shampoo, you get used to this price barrier!
But I did have one last place to try. The fantastic discount Wilkinson's store ...
