Hair Care!

This is my first hair care post! I thought it might be fun to write about how I look after it and what products I use. I'll talk a little about my hair first. My hair is quite long and thick. I get it coloured every 5-6 weeks in the salon (I really don't know what colour they use though! It is pure copper though). I find my hair grows very quickly and I hate my roots (and now greys!) showing! My hair gets greasy quite quickly, I wash my hair every 3 days, which is amazing now since I used to wash it every evening! With every wash my hair colour fades so I really have tried to reduce washing as much as I can.
Here are the products I use...

Now I am a low maintenance kind of girl, and I really don't use many hair products. I don't style my hair very often, when I wash my hair, I will blow dry it and straighten it usually, and that will be it until the next time I wash!

I use Kerastase Bain Exfoliant Purifiant shampoo always. It is my holy grail shampoo. I know it is a little expensive at around £15.00 per bottle, but it really is the only thing that works for me. As much as I love my hair colour, dying my hair has made my scalp unbelievably dry and have really bad dandruff too. It was highly embarrassing for me and I was so self conscious about it. After trying every single anti-dandruff shampoo under the sun, my hairdresser recommended this to me and I have never looked back. The shampoo has little exfoliating beads in it, and really works incredibly well to combat dandruff. If I stop using this, my dandruff will just come straight back. It's so effective for me. If you have dry scalp or dandruff issues I highly recommend you check this out!

I use a lot of conditioner, so I can't really afford to buy an expensive conditioner. I actually got this Argan Oil conditioner in the pound shop. If I didn't use plenty of conditioner, my hair would be quite flyaway which I hate! I stick plenty of this conditioner on the ends and really work it through my hair and rinse out. It's quite a good conditioner which is surprising since it was so cheap. It smells really good too!

I discovered this Schwarzkopf thermo protect cream on BeautyBay. I thought it was perfect for me as it is designed for coloured hair too. It is absolutely amazing! The smell is just indescribable, so nice and fruity. I put this through my wet hair before drying, and I have to say, my hair feels so much more healthier since I started using it. I never really paid attention to heat protecting products before - oops! Now I really want to make the effort. I know it's called "Colour Freeze" but it didn't really do much to retain my colour at all. Doesn't matter, I still really like this cream.

Ahh my pink Tangle Teezer. I have a love/hate relationship with this. I read so many amazing reviews about these hairbrushes, I had to get one for myself. I disposed of my 10 year old hairbrush (ugh!) and finally picked up a Tangle Teezer for myself. My hair is so long, I don't have any layers cut it so it's all one length and it tends to get tatty kind of quickly. I have to say I really have to work with this hairbrush. It doesn't actually get through the tats as well as I imagined it would. I feel like the brush doesn't actually get through my whole hair. I want to love this brush so much, I really adore the shape of it and the design, and I am growing to like it. It just wasn't love at first sight (or brush!)

So that is my hair care...sorry if I rambled on a little! I didn't realise how long this post would turn out. Anyway, I hope that this may have been enjoyable to someone to read, ha! If you've tried any of these products let me know!
