Review of Wella Viva Hair Streaking Kit

How wella is your hair?

Advantages: Nice aroma. Holds the hair really well.
Disadvantages: The nozzle is a little awkward. My hair always needs washing afterwards.

...My hair can be such a pain in the bum sometimes. It's so fine and fly-away, it's almost unmanageable at times! This is why I need a pretty strong hairspray. The last one I tried was Tesco's own brand, but that didn't work for me at all. Half of it ended up being thrown away! But, this time I opted for 'Wella Silvikrin Hairspray'. I paid £1.68 for a 300 ml cannister. The cannister is dark green in colour with a silver band across the middle. The Wella Silvikrin name is on one side. On the other side you will find all the information you need to know about this hairspray. Also, there are the ingredients, contact details, and any cautions you need to know about. There isn't a lid as such. There is a nozzle which you spray sraight from. On the 'front' there is a kind of kite thing which is flying through the breeze...

Review of Silvikrin Active Care Hair Spray Firm Hold

Wish i had gone to a salon - wella viva hair streaking kit

Advantages: The box colour is nice - nice conditioner.
Disadvantages: Damages hair to the point of dissolving, itchy/burning sensation, colour is not as shown, not woth

...I would normally go to a salon to get my hair highlighted as i have seen and heard of far too many horror stories of home colouring gone bad, however, against my better judgement i decided to try and save a few pounds and do it myself with the wella viva hair streaking kit, big mistake. I followed the instructions to the letter, applied it as directed and waited for the time indicated, when i washed it off my hair was almost daffodil yellow and so brittle it was snapping in my fingers, it had managed to leak through the cheap and tacky highlighting cap which explains the nasty itchy burning sensation i was experiencing. My hair is a very light brown, and now with yellow patches and blotches that are shorter due to breakage. I done absolutely everything as instructed, the smell was so strong too, it reminded me of an old hamsters...

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...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

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

...both had negative experiences with GHDs before - we were getting minor electric shocks when we unplugged them and had to be pretty careful. Now I've never experienced this particular fault with this model, but it's worth mentioning. All in all I'd say that this is an excellent product, particularly if you use hair straighteners a lot. It gives consistently good hair - even when you're in a massive hurry - and they're very easy to use. Hope this review helps!...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

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 ....

Helmet Hair!

Advantages: brushes out easily, adds a bit of shine
Disadvantages: made hair feel hard and crunchy

...I use hairspray quite a lot - I even spritz it over my hair when it's down to keep it in place, otherwise it sort of puffs up and takes on a mind of it's own! I usually use John Frieda's brilliant brunette hairspray which is by far the best I have ever used, and also regularly carry mini Toni and Guy hairspray in my handbag, just in case of hair emergencies! A while ago I was going to stay with a friend and realised I'd forgotten to bring my hairspray with me. Shock horror! I knew I wouldn't settle until I'd got some, so headed to the nearest Boots. Unfortunately the nearest Boots was one of those piddly little ones that hardly stocks anything, and so I couldn't get either of my preferred brands in a small size. There were only a couple of options in a handbag size, and I went for Wella Silvikrin because a.) I had heard of it, and b...

GHD - A 'Good Hair Day'

Advantages: Heats up quick
Disadvantages: Expensive

...GHD are the best straightners on the market, GHD actually stands for 'Good hair day' which is exactly what they give you.....every time. Near enough every hair salon uses them and they can be bought from most of them and also the GHD website. There are a range of different types of GHD straightners for different styles, both for girls and boys. They Take only a short 20 seconds to heat up to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees, they also have a little red led which lets you know exactly when there done once its stopped flashing. Meaning you only have to go over one section of your hair once unlike many other straightners on the market. Straightening can be annoying when the cord keeps getting caught or tangled, but it?s not going too happen with the 360 degree swivel cord GHDs have. This makes it easier to move around your head...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

scientific approach to hair care!

Advantages: works well easy to use
Disadvantages: slightly heavy

...It's been a long time since I had a new hairdryer - probably about 20 years! - and to be honest I didn't really intend to get a new one now. However, having bought this one for Christmas as a present for my twenty year old step daughter, she came home one day and told us she had just bought a hairdryer herself! I thought at first that I would take the one that I had bought back, but then decided that I was long overdue a new one so this is now my Christmas present to myself! This Nicky Clarke Kinder 4 hair hairdryer is apparently made with 'Tourmaline technology'! I didn't know what this meant so I looked 'tourmaline' up on wikipedia and discovered that it is classed as a semi precious stone and comes in a wide range of colours. Still none the wiser I googled 'tourmaline technology' and had a hard job discovering that it helps promote...

Review of Nicky Clarke Kinder 4 Hair Tourmaline Hairdrye

sp does it again

Advantages: great product
Disadvantages: over priced

...My friend used to work for Wella SP and I was lucky to be blessed with some of her samples and although this is a very expensive range it is fantastic, I do not think that I would buy it as the price is a very big off Put, but the products are first class and in a class of their own. Wella SP Perfect Hair is for damaged areas of your hair and protects it against the heat and helps to volumise and strengthen your hair , so it's ideal for use before blow drying or straightening your hair. For the best results apply Wella SP Perfect Hair evenly through towel dried hair, being careful not to use too much or it makes my hair look greasy make sure it is prior to blow drying or straightening for the best results. It also smells great and leaves you hair smelling fresh and clean. This product if you blow dry your hair has saved my...
