GHD thermal protector for normal- fine hair

Advantages: Smells great, non greasy, really does protect your hair, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive- no other negatives

...Ghd thermal protector is used to protect your hair from the heat damage caused by styling when using appliances such as a hair dryer or straightners. It can be used before, during and after styling. It protects the hair from damage by locking its mositure and nutrients into the hair. This particular pruduct I own is for normal- fine hair and consists of a light weight oil. To use this product you should spray it on to clean damp hair, prior to drying and benefit from spraying each section individually when drying or styling. I am really impressed with this product. I have used a number of products for this purpose and this is the only one that I have used that does not make my hair look greasy. It really does protect you hair too. Since using the products I have noticed the difference in my hair. My hair seems to look...

HAIR WARS - THE PHANTOM BADGER

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: Where do I start? Leaves hair dull, limp and feeling like straw

...really does build this conditioner up, stating that it contains a botanical shine complex that mousturises normal hair and leaves it feeling luxuriously soft and silky with radiant shine. The reason for this is apparently due to the natural organic herbs and botanicals that are contained within the conditioner itself. So, after washing my hair with the Herbal Essences shampoo I applied the white conditioner to my wet hair and gently massaged it into my scalp before rinsing. I was surprised by the actual smell of the product, it?s devine. A mix of blended fruit with a hint of apple. It was lovely. After applying and rinsing my hair was left extremely shiny and it did feel very soft and silky to the touch, however it didn?t last long. After drying my hair became very fine and lacked body. The shine faded and it left my hair feeling like...

A Very Very Good Hair Day!

Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women
Disadvantages: None

...After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair. When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well. After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners. They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor...

For hair that smells of apples

Advantages: It cleans and softens your hair
Disadvantages: It smells like apples

...Who on earth decided to call a new shampoo Fructis? It?s a pretty stupid name you have to admit, but what?s the product like? Well, I had some of the fortifying shampoo as part of a Christmas present so I thought I?d better give it a try. This shampoo is made by Laboratoires Garnier of London and Paris and is, to give it it?s full name, Fructis with active fruit concentrate fortifying shampoo for frequent use on normal hair. This is only one of many variations covering dry hair, permed hair, greasy hair, fine hair and any other sort of hair you happen to have! It comes in a bright green plastic container with an interesting little ball thing on the lid, which makes it easier to open especially when your hands are wet. I had the 250ml size and as I received it as a present I didn?t know how much it had cost so it did a bit...

Review of Garnier Fortifying Shampoo Normal Hair

My Bad Hair Days.

Advantages: It works.
Disadvantages: It doesn't smell good at all.

..., and it’s a pain in the butt to wear my black “Spear Britney” tee shirt and still look cool when small white flakes are all over the shoulders of it. Come on – even the laziest of us have a bit of self-respect and a sense of personal hygiene. So, about twice a week I wash what little hair I’ve got with Head & Shoulders. My father buys the “normal hair” formula, though that is sort of an oxymoron: If his hair were “normal” would he need to treat it for dandruff? I think not! (Note: Head & Shoulders have changed their lineup a bit recently. Now the normal stuff is referred to as “Classic Clean” – I think they need to fire whomever it was that came up with this particularly brilliant idea.) But, in my case my hair IS normal (not oily, not dry, not damaged, and no...

Review of Head & Shoulders Normal Hair Shampoo

Great for short thin hair

Advantages: Heat very quickly
Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair

...I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair ....

Not Tonight Love, I'm Washing Me Hair!

Advantages: Effective at tackling dandruff, hair was in great condition after using
Disadvantages: Packaging may put people off

...Okay to be honest, Head And Shoulders isn't your trendy, display-with -pride shampoo, it's more likely to be relegated to the back of the shelf. In fact, for some reason, it reminds me of men with Grecian 2000'd hair in the shower (was that the adverts, or is it a sub-conscious fantasy of mine?!) As far as I was concerned you bought it when you had dandruff. End Of. I was staying with my mum and it was all she had, so with a cursory glance at the packaging (which is rather plain) slapped it on my hair. (There are no special instructions, like leaving it on etc) The shampoo was a light blue creamy colour, and it actually smelt quite pleasant. It had a good lather on it, so you don't need to use as much as other shampoos. In fact, if I'd have used less, I'd have saved a lot of time rinsing it out. I was pleasantly surprised to...

Review of Head & Shoulders Normal Hair Shampoo

more than normal

Advantages: stays cleaner for longer
Disadvantages: none

...Over the last year or so I seem to have been changing from one shampoo to another in order the see which one gives the best results. One will be great for a while then the results will become poorer.So i decided i was going to look back and see what shampoo used to work really great in my hair, go back to it and see if it still does. So i remembered about vo5 for normal hair.When I tried it I started to wonder why I had even stopped using it. My hair felt super after the first wash with the static in my hair reduced to a minimum.Leaving it more managable, shiny and just not dull like it was. Before I went back to this shampoo i was finding that my hair was going greasy and limp between washes but when using this my hair was remaining at its best from wash to wash. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants lasting results from...

Review of Alberto Advanced Shampoo for Normal Hair

Hair raising experience

Advantages: Consistent, clean, body-building, nice smell
Disadvantages: Tested on animals

...I've bought this shampoo more than twice, which is good going! Normally, after a bottle and a half of continual use, other shampoos tend not to have the same invigorating effect on my hair. In principle, I'd rather use a product which does not test on animals. I'm not too happy therefore, having finally found a product which produces consistent results, that I need to suffer the guilt and self-loathing of one who doesn't spare a thought for bunny rabbits with stinging eyes... However, I have ignored my principles in favour of bouncy, manageable hair. How shallow of me! Here's why . . . It only takes a small amount of shampoo to work up a really good lather - to be specific, that's a teaspoon-sized amount on shortish hair (see my photo). I shampoo once before adding conditioner. Twice would seem excessive. The smell is fairly...

Review of Pantene Pro V Normal Hair Shampoo

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

Advantages: Quick to heat up, Excellent results, Easy to use, Time-saving
Disadvantages: Cost, Extremely hot, Only one setting

...I've had these hair straighteners for roughly six months now and have used them probably every day since I was given them, so I feel fairly qualified to give my opinion: that I really can't recommend them highly enough!! The quality of GHDs is unbeatable - I've used a lot of hair straighteners in my time, and I've got to say that they really do give consistently good results. They heat up in roughly fifteen seconds, and you can straighten hair very quickly in a rush with a fairly good finish - which as you can imagine saves huge amounts of time in the mornings! Generally, unless your hair is remarkably stubborn, the hair will also stay straight for the duration of the day. It's also worth noting that they're pretty versatile, and as my hairdresser demonstrated a few days ago, it's quite easy to get nice curls using these hair...
