Poker straight hair was too tempting!

Advantages: Shiny hair
Disadvantages: Doesn't live up to it's promises

...product, and that it is part of the 'Poker Straight' range and that is to use 'B4 U blow Glistening Straightening Balm'. On the back it tells me what it is good for and the ingredients. What It Is For.... For shoulder length, frizzy, curly or wavy hair. How To Use.... Use the size of a walnut and apply evenly to wet hair. Adjust according to length of hair. The Verdict... I was so excited about using this product. It's been years since I've used a gel kind of idea on my head as I remember using 20p green gel from Sainsbury's when I was a kid and of course it was rubbish and sticky and stunk! Since them days I prefer sprays and stuff lol However firstly lets address this. It isn't a gel it just kind of looks like one sat in the tube. It comes out like a gel consistency but that's where the similarity completely ends. It...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Glistening Straightening Balm

Poker Straight - the tube doesn't lie!

Advantages: Really does help straighten my hair
Disadvantages: Doesn't smell that great

...you have washed your hair and towel dried it you apply a small walnut size amount of this balm to the hair. It is called a glistening straightening balm and that is because it had glitter in it. I am not sure what advantage this has because I don?t have glitter in my hair after application, but anyway, it looks nice. It was also very easy to apply. You do only need a small amount and it is absorbed easily and evenly throughout the hair. The other product I found that it was not so easy to distribute and found that it left greasy patches where it had clumped near my scalp ? so this is the first advantage. The second is that it works! Strange you might say, but the other comparative product didn?t work as well. It takes a lot of work to straighten my hair and I am really pleased when it goes (and stays) straight after only 1 or 2 glides...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Glistening Straightening Balm

Grease is the word! - Lee Stafford Poker Straight Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Smells nice, quite good at volumising
Disadvantages: Pricey in comparison to other brands, effects not long lasting

...I have naturally curly hair, which would be fine if it was long lustrous curls, but someone obviously said "we don't want to give you that!" and instead 'blessed me with frizzy mad curls instead! So as a result I blow dry it straight which is fairly time consuming and quite frankly can be a pain in the butt - it's definitely not a first thing in the morning type of job or else I would have to get up at ridiculous o'clock to get into work on time! Although it can be a little oily at the roots, I wouldn't say my hair looked that greasy, it's actually very dry, but on hairwash day it is lank and lifeless. So I needed a solution - a little pick me up for my hair. I remembered reading one of these comparison articles in a magazine on dry shampoos - Batiste which is the original came out fairly well, but I had always associated that...

Poker straight hair in a bottle!

Advantages: Straight hair - poker straight!

...Any girl who straightens her hair regularly will know that this can lead to dry hair and split ends. This is a problem! So of course, the bods in the beauty world have come up with a solution, and this is a heat protection spray. There are many kinds of heat protection sprays around, but Lee Stafford was one of the first and I still feel is one of the best.

So, let's have a look at it shall we? ♦ The Brand ♦ Lee Stafford is a well-established hairdresser who was born in Essex. He was Men's British Hairdresser of the Year 1998, and has won many other awards, so obviously we're dealing with a pro here!

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Shampoo

Poker Straight Hair Made Easy

Advantages: the smell, leaves hair smooth and soft
Disadvantages: can leave hair a bit greasy if you apply too much

...I love this product! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to protect their locks from heat damage caused by straighteners. Loads of us want poker straight hair and the straighteners especially those with ceramic plates make that possible but what if you step outside and the wind is blowing?? And how do you protect your hair from split ends and dryness that the straighteners cause?? Well the solution is simple get this Lee Stafford Protection Mist...it really does work. I first found it on a trip round Boots when I was buying shampoo, I seen the bright pink bottle, read the label and though I'll give this a go and see if works. Its really simple and easy to use. From my experience I found that it's best to blow dry your hair as usual first; then section off parts of your hair and apply a small amount of the spray to each...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist

A bent poker

Advantages: The bright pink bottle looks great
Disadvantages: Expensive, and didn't have the expected effects

...I read reviews on this product which raved about how effective it is, so I bought both the shampoo and conditioner at £3.99 a bottle from Boots. The range is exclusive to Boots, so you are unlikely to find it anywhere else. Now, my hair is ginger, and has a wave in it. It isn?t curly, so I thought this was worth a try. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx First Impressions: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The bottle is a shocking pink colour, which is gorgeous. It contains 250mls of shampoo (8.4 fl.oz). It contains a large bar code on the front, and POKER STRAIGHT SHAMPOO written in an upwards direction on the bottle. It looks great, and at that price, surely it works. Doesn?t it? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx First I?ll start with the technical stuff. What is in it? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Shampoo

Lets play Poker with Lee Stafford!

Advantages: Works!
Disadvantages: None at all for me!

...Boots will be the end of me! I seriously must ban myself from going! Just lately I've done so much shopping in there as I've been getting vouchers for £2.00 off certain branded products. I've took advantage of this to the maximum and bought loads of stuff in the hope it will be better cos it's stuff from the higher end of the market than the usual stuff I pick up in the pound shop (whatever is there!). I'm not a big fan of hair products and usually wear one at a time so appreciate a good one lol! This product, Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Mist stood out to me cos I always use heat protection spray if nothing else on my hair when styling it but this offered to help me straighten as well as protect and my goodness do I need every bit of help I can get! My hair is straight and flat at the root, has a fluffy mid...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist

Provides exceptional protection and keeps hair straight

Advantages: Superb quality and value. Perfect for use with G H D s
Disadvantages: Lee Stafford Poker Straight Hair Mist is Perfect

...I bought this product from Boots in Clayton Square, Liverpool after witnessing the fantastic results on my good friend, Becky 's hair. A large bottle which lasts you for a good six months. A pleasant fragrance leaves your hair smelling really fresh for days. Manages to retain the poker straight, super glossy hair style that can only be achieved when styling with GHDs or other good brands of hair straighteners. Best used on completely dry hair; as not to frazzle or "fry" your hair. Iv been using this for aver two years and yet to find a similar product that is just as good. The best part of this product is the way it somehow keeps your hair straight - even after a pouring of rain on a night out! Use this once and you will not need to straighten your hair until at least after you have washed it again....
