My Current Hair Favourites

Hi Guys!

I hope you're all doing good!  Today I thought I would show you my current haircare favourites!  These are the products I use each time I wash and style my hair.

L-R Revlon Equave, L'Oreal Mythic Oil, Bed Head Headrush

My hair is quite long, is naturally wavy and prone to a bit of friziness but also prone to greasiness in the roots.  My hairdresser always tells me my hair is in great condition so I must be doing something right!

After washing my hair and when it's still wet, I spray some of Revlon's Equave 2 Phase Leave-In Conditioner through my hair.  This makes it so much easier to comb out and it doesn't weigh down my hair or make it greasy at all.

The second product I use is L'Oreal Mythic Oil.  There are quite a few hair oils on the market at the moment, I have used and quite liked the VO5 Miracle Concentrate before.  However, this is in a different league!  One pump is enough to do the lengths and ends of my hair and it just leaves my hair so soft and shiny, from first use the results are noticeable.  I haven't tried any other 'high-end' hair oils like the Moroccan Oil or Macademia Oil, but I can't imagine they would be much better than this!

Finally, if I am heat styling my hair (straighteners or curling irons) I use TIGI Bed Head Head Rush Shine Spray.  A hairdresser friend of mine told me that even though this is marketed as a shine spray, it makes a great heat protectant.  You do need to use this fairly sparingly as too much of it will make the hair look greasy.  It is good for giving hair a shine boost and it is an excellent heat protector.  I actually haven't used any other heat protection product for years now and my hair has very little heat damage considering that it is quite long!

I use lots of other different products depending on what kind of style I'm going for with my hair, but these three are my staple products which I have repurchased many times and I can't recommend them enough!  They are all available at Sallys or from Hairdressing Salons.

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment

Today I want to tell you about a hair treatment which I have been using for a few months now.  It is the Lee Stafford Treatment for Hair that Never Grows Past a Certain Length (quite a mouthful!).  I have quite long hair but I did not start using this treatment because I needed to grow my hair as such.  The full benefits that this treatment claims to have are:

• Vital hair and scalp complex helps to reduce hair loss
• Improves follicle health which in turn increases the ability of the hair to anchor to the scalp
• Soothing formulation reduces irritation and moisturises the scalp
• Addresses hair and scalp ageing at a cellular level
• Improvement in tensile strength to give body and texture by penetrating the hair reaching the inner cortex
• Improves volume and feel of the hair

My problem was that every time I washed my hair, and when I combed through my hair after washing, I found that I had a fair bit of hair fall out.  I know a certain amount is normal but this was still worrying me.

The directions for use are to use the treatment between shampoo and conditioner.  You massage an egg sized amount into the hair from roots to ends, leave on for 5 minutes and rinse off.  Use every wash until hair improves and use once a week thereafter.  Lee Stafford suggest using the Hair Growth shampoo and conditioner from the range as well but I can't get my hands on this so I just use it with my regular products.

So what's the verdict?  I love this! I am so glad I found it.  Has it completely stopped my hair from coming out? No. But it has dramatically reduced the amount of my hair which comes out when I wash and comb it.  It took about 3 or 4 weeks of use for me to start seeing the benefits.  The treatment leaves my hair feeling so soft and in great condition.  I would be prone to greasiness in my roots but this does not make my hair in any way greasy.  I have stocked up on this when it was on offer in Boots (it is often on a 3 for 2 or simillar offer) and I can't see myself stopping using it any time soon!  I would also say that my hair has grown a lot more since I started using this than it would have before.  As well as all that, both the packaging and the scent are gorgeous too...I really have nothing bad to say about it!
