Hi dolls. How are you all? Did you have a lovely weekend? AMAZING weather or what?! I’ve been asked to do this post by lots of people… It’s all about my hair & what I use, do etc. A lot of you asked after seeing THIS post. To be really honest, I’m so over my hair. It’s so long & time consuming. Usually, I wash it at night, go to sleep, wake up, whack a bit of product in it (sort out the front untamed bits) & I’m off to go! But, when I have some time on my hands, I like to pamper myself - who doesn’t ey?
Usually, I use Herbal Essences because I LOVE the smell. But this summer I thought I’d go for something a little different. I’ve been using this new ‘VO5 for YOU’ range for about 2 months now & I’m quite liking it! My hair looks & feels great since using it. I love the fruity scent it has. I can’t wait to try the ‘Gloss me Smoothly’ & ‘Plump me Up’ shampoos! I wish they did a curly range in this, because I can see myself getting along with it really well.
It was only recently I actually started combing my hair after it had been washed for a long time. Ever since I’ve stopped straightening my hair on a daily basis I like to keep it looking curly/messy 
Not straightening my hair so often has improved the condition of my hair IMMENSELY! I would highly recommend ditching the straighteners if you’re looking for healthier & longer hair.
TANGLE TEEZER - I got the amazing Tangle Teaser a few weeks ago. I don’t know how it does it, but it works like a CHARM!! I don’t use my hair brushes/combs any more because of this little baby!
MOROCCAN OIL- I use this oil every day! It reduces the drying time for my hair (which is something I need as it’s so thick & long) but also leaves my hair feeling unbelivably soft. I can totally tell if I’ve forgotten to put it in as my hair feels crispy… if that even makes sense? This stuff is a GOD SEND! I love the fact that even if it is oil, it doesn’t leave my hair greasy - that’s the last thing I want!
BUMBLE AND BUMBLE B.B GEL - this stuff is AMAZING! Even though my hair is long & thick yet it hold curls in my hair for days!! Not only that but it doesn’t leave my hair with that hard gel feel. It gives my hair amazing texture & has made me want to buy more Bumble and Bumble products. I just wish it was travel friendly 
To open the product you twist the top & I can’t risk taking it with me when I’m travelling as I’d hate for it to untwist & squirt all over my stuff! Other than that, it’s a great gel!
For the days that I actually have time to do my hair I use two extra products.
TRESEMMÉ HEAT DEFENCE (RRP £5)- I’m so forgetful with heat defence but always try my hardest to remember when I’m curling bits of my hair or straightening bits. This stuff is amazing. Smells great, doesn’t break the bank AND protects your hair. I love the packaging, the spray-handle is great, makes me feel like a hair dresser! LOL
LEE STAFFORD’S MY BIG FAT TEXTURISED HAIR SUPER SPRAY (RRP: 9.29)- I’ve only recently got this. It definitely makes my hair bigger for the first hour or so… But overall it doesn’t last for very long, probably due to the weight of my hair. Also I find it a little too sticky for my liking. I am really disappointed in this (I had high hopes for it) - I wouldn’t get this again, no way. For that price I’d rather pay more & get something better. I think I’m going to stick to Bumble and Bumble products! But hey, it might work on SHORTER hair?
These are the two tool I use to straighten & curl my hair, standard!
GHD STRAIGHTENER IV STYLER (RRP: £99): Can’t complain about my GHDs. I’ve have these for a good 3 or 4 years now
BABYLISS PORCELAIN CURLING WAND (RRP: £25.49): I finally got my hands on this wand earlier this year, after wanting it for so long & it’s great. It truly creates lovely curls & for the price, it’s a BARGAIN! Full review coming soon
So, all those products & tools creates this! Here you can see just how long my hair is. I reckon if my hair was short, it would be naturally curlier. However, because of the length my hair is very wavy. I don’t really need to curl any bits, but I like to do it anyway From the back my hair looks EVEN longer!
Here you can see the waves that the Babyliss wand makes. This is literally my everyday hair. It’s got to a length now where I rarely have it down though… I’m always tying it up half way through the day because it just gets in the way. By the way, I always talk myself in & out of chopping it all off. I think deep down I’m too SCARED to cut it off 
I always get asked if I have ‘ombre’ hair. But it’s nothing like that at all. After being in Mexico, the coloured parts of my hair became LIGHTER in the sun. But in fact my hair is like this…
I have ‘FLASHES‘ in my hair - I’ve had it like this for years now. But, I think now (because it’s longer) you can see them colour more? It’s great because your roots will rarely show, which means you don’t have to get your hair done every few months
I also get asked a lot if my hair is real… Yes! It’s 100% REAL, dolls. My parents were blessed with thick hair & have passed that gene onto me I have never, ever, worn extensions in my hair… but for some weird reason I’ve always wanted to? LOL
I don’t follow any rules with hair cuts, I get it cut when I feel like it (I know, that’s really bad right?!) But I do like to take care of it as much as I possibly can… Even though it can be a pain at times. Hope you enjoyed my current hair routine, gems! If you’ve got any questions or anything just give me a shout
Are there any hair products that you would recommend? I’d love to know
ah i’ve missed your posts!
pretty much the same with me on the hair routine, i really want to try the shampoo and stuff. i decided to go for the dove range! and i love it!! i will try Vo5 next for sure!
loving the colour of your hair.. i really want to try maybe lightening my end? i’m not sure how to go about it though. about to google what “flashes” are though! haha
love xxxxxxxxx
I got bored of Herbal Essences but am loving VO5. I have so much hair that I can’t afford to buy expensive shampoos!
I love my flashes - it’s almost like highlights in the bottom half of your head but in thicker sections? LOL x
You have the most beautiful hair! I’m so jealous of it! I really need to buy a tangle teaser, I hear so many raves about them.
Thanks Saz! It’s a pain sometimes though. Yesss, they are so good!
absolutely love the post! quite a few products i’d like to try out
espesh the tangle teezer 
oh and looking forward to the review of the wand - i own one, its remington i believe, but wanted this one too 
take care doll x
ps. love your hair!!
Thanks hun, it can be such a pain at times! xx
Oh wow! MAJOR HAIR ENVY!!!!
Your hair is amazing… I’m so jealous!!
I’m buying every single product you’ve mentioned… I want hair like yours!
Awww, thanks Laiqah! It’s not that great - my hair is weird and wavy, these products just help give it some life & definition x
Your hair is gorgeous, it looks so healthy. I sometimes get sick of my long hair and went through a stage of wanting to get it all cut off…I got 4 inches trimmed off it during the summer and regretted it straight away, even though it was still long! I’ve just bought a spiral wand so hopefully that’ll starve off hair boredom for a while.
My favourite product is definitely dry shampoo, I really like the TRESemme one at the moment. VO5′s argan oil is great too and a lot cheaper than other hair oils. x
Thanks doll - I actually haven’t had it cut in actual ages
LOVE dry shampoo. Especially now that I’m so busy with work & stuff, it’s become my saviour on some days! x
Since you don’t cut your hair so often, how do you take care of split ends?
I tend not to apply too much heat to my hair unless I’m going out (unless it’s the first part) & I always try to use heat protector if I am
Hope that helps x
Your hair is gorgeous! Really love the flashes… and I’m addicted to Moroccan Hair Oil too! xx
Thanks my lovely! It’s great isn’t it? x
I really wanna try the Moroccan Oil…heard so many raving reviews about it!!! btw, your hair looks really awesome and I love the length
It’s really nice - expensive but I think it’s worth it as you only need a tiny amount. Thanks hun x
Absolutely glorious hair!
Aww, thank you doll!
You have such amazing hair! Do you ever get split ends!!

Thanks, Meena. I used to get lots of split ends but I’ve stopped straightening it so much & that’s helped loads
& if I do use heated products, my heat defence is a must! x
Ahh lovelovelove your hair!
I’ve never heard of ‘flashes’ before though…they look great! What did you ask your stylist for? x
Thank you, Maya. The hair dressers I go to actually have ‘Flashes’ in their salon treatments. I’m sure you could take a picture of my flashes in? x
I seriously love your hair, its so pretty. I had undertones in my hair kind of the same colour like 2 years ago and its still there but near the bottom. I think its a great way of getting some colour in your hair. Glad to see your posts, you have been missed
xx
Definitely great to lighten up your hair. Thanks so much, Jasmin
x
i LOVE the photo of you - you look just like Mila Kunis
I love your hair - i really want to buy Moroccan oil now! xx
Oh my gosh, I get that quite a lot
but I so don’t see it? LOL. Thanks, doll x
Love your hair, gorgeous, mine is really wavy too! I use moroccan oil too! x
Wavy hair can be a pain if you don’t use the right products! x
Great post, after writing some products down to get. I have insanely thick and curly hair, always trying to improve the condition. Your hair is amazing xx
Thanks, doll
I hope it helped x
