Indestructible until you wash it out!

Advantages: firm hold, easy to wash out
Disadvantages: shinny look, easy to apply too much

My hair is quite short and I like it to be spikey. Typically, I alternate between waxes and gels and use whatever I have in the bathroom, as I don't think there is much of a difference for my length of hair. Recently though I saw a television advert for L'oreals Indestructible gel and was quite impressed by the claims it made. It featured a breakdancer who was standing on his head and rubbing his hair back and forth across the floor whilst dancing. ...
...same afterwards as it was before; was this gel really indestructible? The next time i was shopping I bought a 150ml tube costing approximately £3.50, a reasonable price. The packaging was pretty snazzy, but I was just interested in whether it performed better than the products I already used. I have used the product a number of times now and I must say I am very impressed with it. It holds your hair in an extremely rigid position for hours on end ...

Review of L'Oreal StudioLine Paris Indestructible Gel

Tigi Bed Head Small Talk-This little bottle talks volumes!

Advantages: smell, packaging, lasts ages, lives up to its claims, multi-use
Disadvantages: nothing major

...I first started using Tigi products when I bought the Dumb Blonde shampo/conditioner in a local hairdressers-Highly recommended. I came across this little Gem in TK MAXX and was intrigued by its berry-like packaging. Tigi is well known for its stylish packaging and in my opinion the Bed Head range does require a sense of humour, its packaging is quirky and bold as are its statements. In my opinion the products live up to it. Living in this wonderful ...
...frizzy in the summer to dry in the winter. My main problem is that whist I have lots of hair (past my shoulders) its really fine. When I was little it would'nt even stay in a bobble. I was looking for an all-in-one product, something that I could use before blow drying to give my hair a bit of va-va-voom and make it a bit more manageable and something to style it afterwards, to give it a little more edge. This product really delivers! The product ...

Review of TIGI Bed Head Small Talk Thickifier, Energizer, Stylizer

Protection for heat frazzled locks!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

I bought this product about 6 months ago when I decided that I was no long going to subject my hair to the heat abuse I had been previously putting it through! My hair was getting to the point where it would look similar to when you pass a ribbon through a blade of scissors? (If you love craft you know what I am on about...) and I needed a heat protection spray so that I could continue straightening my hair (which coincidently is one of the things ...
...When I saw it in my local Boots store I was happily surprised by the cheap price- only £3 for a spray bottle of 200ml- which has only just run out and considering I have shoulder length hair and use it every day that is brilliant! The application of the product is really easy, the trigger spray top, similar to ones that you would see on house hold cleaning products is great as it means it is really easy to squirt out and I only need literally 2-3 ...

Review of Schwarzkopf Pro Styling Heat Protection Straightening Spray

A suncream for my hair

Advantages: Smooth and easier to straighten hair
Disadvantages: none really

...recommended me to buy the Schwarzkopf heat protection spray as she has previously used it and really rated it. I think Schwarzkopf have a very good reputation with it being one of the worlds three largest hair cosmetic brands. What I also personally like is the company attempts to make their products effective, safe and gentle for the hair which minimizes damage. THE BOTTLE The bottle is 200ml (as far as I am aware, this is the only size they do) ...
...type top which makes it easy for the solution to be sprayed out onto your hair. The top can be opened and closed by moving a "switch" type plastic which is handy just in case you or someone else accidently sprays it, it won't be released if its closed.There is a small picture of a woman on the front with perfectly styled hair, evidently trying to advertise their other hair products, with the name of the product next to it. The spray looks just like ...

Review of Schwarzkopf Pro Styling Heat Protection Straightening Spray

Transform Your Hair Bad Hair Days into Fantastic Hair Days

Advantages: Read the above, you'll see!
Disadvantages: Might not be very easy to find in the UK

...to trust introduced me to Aveda products I was skeptical at first. How good could they be? I bet they're just overpriced items that happen to smell good right? Yet, my stylist told me to trust her, and I did. To this day I really do owe her to how great my hair is today. When she first used this pomade on me after blow drying my hair I was taken aback by how great it smelled. I mean this smelled like expensive, but subtle perfume. Plus it lingered ...
...like a broom right? Well Aveda Brilliant Pomade will come to the rescue. You take just a very small amount (about the size of a pea for long hair, and half that for shorter), then you quickly rub it between your hands and run it through your hair paying close attention to your ends. You'll look on in wonder as your hair transforms into a sleek, shiney, and soft form all around. It has a vasaline type consistancy and the jar will last you about a ...
