More Te Tao Vicar

Advantages: does what it says, smells lovely
Disadvantages: slightly expensive.

...For as long as I can remember I have been using Head and Shoulders shampoo as I suffer with a dry flaky scalp. This works well, but recently my hairdresser advised me not to use it as often as I do as it was to harsh for me. So over the last week or so I have been searching for a shampoo that wouldn't be has harsh but still gave me the effect of my usual shampoo. I spent ages looking on the shelves and spotted a shampoo that I had seen a while back but never bothered with as I didn't know much about it. WHAT IS IT CALLED? TE TAO (chinese herbal therapy) TEA FOR HAIR This shampoo gently cleanses your hair and regulates dry scalp, so it seemed ideal for what I needed from a shampoo. It contains mild chrysanthemum, lycium berries and eclipta. It cost me £2.99 for a 250ml/8.4floz bottle. This was from Tesco. I started...

Review of Te Tao Tea Tree Shampoo

For All Te Totallers...

Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does

...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.) Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals. The full name...

Review of Te Tao Warm Henna Red Shampoo

The Way To Virtue. It's Just Shampoo.

Advantages: Cleans your hair, makes your scalp feel nice
Disadvantages: Overblown marketing gumph

...on. After an unnecessary amount of wandering and dithering I eventually spotted Te Tao Bamboo Tea Soothing Shampoo. A quick squiz at the back of the bottle confirmed that it wasn?t tested on animals and the description of Chinese Herbal Therapy, Tea for Hair sounded rather snazzy so basically I was hooked yet again by some simple marketing. (You?d think I?d know better, that?s my job after all.) This shampoo comes in a clear 250ml bottle which tapers towards the top and has a black lid that can be flipped or screwed. The bottle sticker has the Chinese symbol for wood on it and on the back there?s a bit about the history of Te Tao. There are also instructions on use in case you?re a really dirty person who?s never seen a bottle of shampoo before, and of course a list of ingredients. The Bamboo Tea version is designed to gently...

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: A fab product which leaves hair looking great
Disadvantages: None at all

...I was having a really bad hair day a couple of weeks ago, though it was my own fault as the night before I hadn't washed my hair out of laziness! I have the type of hair which does need washing on a daily basis or else it looks greasy, dull and lifeless the day after. My hair was that bad due to it not being washed that it made me feel really awful and self conscious. A work colleague recommended that I try Batiste Dry Shampoo for such occassions. I took her advice and purchased a bottle from Tescos on my next shopping trip. I paid £1.99 for a 150ml cannister, which I thought was quite good value for money. The cannister itself is a bright yellow colour with a jade green plastic lid. The cannister is re-cycleable and is found amongst the normal shampoos on the shelves. It supposedly had a Tropical scent to it, which was the theme...

Dove - The Shampoo of Champions!

Advantages: great value for money, smells lovely, makes hair really shiny and easy to manage
Disadvantages: bottle could be bigger.

...I have searched far and wide and spent unthinkable amounts of money on the latest 'oh-my-word-you-just-have-to-have-this' shampoos and for months I would always find myself with the same problem. My hair was just not as shiny and glossy and absolutely oh my gosh fabulous as the bottles promised. Whether it's the products themselves or whether my hair just refuses to cooperate with their shampoos, it just wasn't working for me. I was just about to give up the search and continue my use of the shampoo I was currently favouring, until I decided to buy a bottle of Dove shampoo and conditioner, and let me tell you, it is amazing. I have never ever seen my hair so glossy and in such good condition! It's great for long hair as it has added moisturisers in it so you can ensure even the very ends of your hair look in excellent condition! I...

Review of Dove Shampoo

Dove Shampoo

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Dove shampoo is a great shampoo for every day use. It leaves your hair looking and feeling really healthy and moisturised but not greasy. Application You use Dove shampoo in the same way that you would use any other shampoo, though I find this shampoo a bit more lathery than others and maybe a bit harder to rinse out, nothing worth putting you off using it though. The Smell Dove shampoo smells a bit like their soap products, but it smells that way in a shampoo kind of way, if that makes sense lol. It is a very clean smelling shampoo and the smell lingers on your hair for a while after you have washed and dried it. The Results After using this shampoo I noticed that my hair smelt very nice, after drying my hair I noticed that it had some extra volume than usual in it and it was very manageable and easily styled. More...

Review of Dove Shampoo

Pine smelling shampoo

Advantages: does what it is for, good texture
Disadvantages: pine smell, using conditioner is absolutely necessary

...Since I don?t colour my hair so regularly (as the Clariol Nice?n?Easy lasts long) my hair is greasy every second day. I spent a lot of money on different shampoos when finally I bought Sainsbury?s basics shampoo. Price and package ------------------------ This basics shampoo comes in a slightly transparent white plastic bottle. It contains 1 litre of shampoo and costs only 0.26 pounds. I think it is as cheap as possible. I bought it just because I hoped to get a very basic shampoo without any moisturising ingredients that makes my hair really dry. The shampoo ----------------- The shampoo is peach coloured and has pine smell. Well it is quite strange at first but you can get used to it. I have to use a little bit more then my usual Pantene Pro V or Dove shampoos. It foams very well. The texture of the shampoo is smooth and it...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics Shampoo

Polytar Liquid Shampoo

Advantages: Works great on dandruff!
Disadvantages: It stinks!

...WHAT IS POLYTAR? Polytar is a shampoo for the following: itchy flaking scalps, eczema, seborrhoea, psoriasis and dandruff. I have suffered on and off for the past few years with mild dandruff which has always annoyed me as I have dark hair and it can be noticeable if left untreated. The fact that my scalp is dry makes it itchy which leads to even more flaking when I itch it. My review is going to be on how well the shampoo worked with dandruff and not the following scalp conditions as mentioned above. Polytar is a watery liquid which isn?t very much like normal shampoo which turns into a lather in the hair. It is brown/golden in colour and has a very strong smell, which doesn?t in my opinion smell nice! The shampoo is used as a substitute for any current shampoos that you may be using, so you are not meant to mix them both together...

Batiste Dry Shampoo :)

Advantages: Great for those who dont have time to wash greasy hair!
Disadvantages: Leaves hair feeling a little rough to the touch.

...I love this stuff!!!! It is literally a godsend!!!!! I first came across it when I was in school, I found I didn't have time to have a shower everymornign before school and wash my hair as it took half an hour to drydue to its thickness, and I just didnt have time, so when I found this, it meant I could just have a body shower before shcool and throw this on my hair if it needed it. (My hair gets very greasy very quickly so washing it the night before, the next morning it wouldn't look fresh!!!). Batiste Dry Shampoo is £1.79 (approx) from Body Care, and other various shops (Boots/Superdrug). And its basically like "talcing your hair", not sure if anyone knows abiut that??? Putting talc on your hair if it was a little greasy and you had no time to wash it...! Lol. Well this is much the same only it smells nice haha! it comes in 3...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Feeling lucky? Try the TE 770.

Advantages: Excellent highly defined display. Good for the price.
Disadvantages: Can develop faults over time.

...Earlier this year, lacking the funds for a fancy flat screen TFT or LCD monitor to replace my 4 year old Dell monitor I decided to opt for the Relisys TE 770 model CRT model. Having never even heard of the brand name before, I was rather skeptical. My sole reason for buying the TE 770 was that it was the only black monitor currently on offer in the shop, put simply I wanted my new monitor to compliment my other hardware components. Setting the model up was quite easy, a power cable is supplied with the monitor, though you may need some help from another person when lifting the monitor onto a desk or workspace. You do need to plug in two leads, the monitor's input cable, and the power cable. The input cable must be slotted into the American style 3 - pin slot in the back of your tower/ flat case unit. The power cable has two ends...
