Big Sea Salt Shampoo

This product was actually first tested by my sister. She raved so much about it and said it made her hair feel soft and clean afterwards, that I had to give it a try!

Lush's big sea salt shampoo is made with seaweed and sea salt. The product should help to add volume to your hair and make it feel smooth and shiny. There is something really nice about using handmade products.

The 100g product comes in a little pot. It's quite expensive at £6.75 (but it is worth it, I think!). You only need to use a small amount, so you can make it last quite a few months, if you use in once in a while.

It's a strange experience rubbing this shampoo into your hair, as the texture of the shampoo is quite grainy with the sea salt. But it's not a horrible experience, it's just very different to using your normal shampoo.

It lathers up really well and washes out easily. I love the smell of the shampoo too and find it really helps to cleanse your hair. I'm not sure that it adds much volume, but it certainly makes your hair feel so soft and shiny afterwards.

I really like this product and it is well worth giving it a try if you fancy treating yourself! I will definitely keep this on the re-purchase list. It's a great hair cleanser and make your hair feel super soft.

Dove Advanced Hair Series

I like to treat myself to some 'nice' hair products once in while. Ones which cost a little more than £5, especially if I'm going on a trip or on a holiday. I feel it just adds to the pampering experience! I hadn't read anything about the Dove Advanced Hair Series, so I choose this product on what I felt my hair needed at the time. 

I felt my hair was quite dull and dry and needed a bit of revamping. The pure care dry oil shampoo and conditioner promising to help nourish dull and dry hair. There are three other options to choose from in the range; oxygen moisture, youthful vitality and quench absolute. 

The shampoo should cleanse hair and make it feel really silky without weighing it down. (I always worry a bit with the word 'oil' in products - that it actually means 'will make your hair super greasy within hours'). The conditioner also helps to make your hair feel silky smooth! 

I love the thick consistency of both the shampoo and conditioner. They both smell really nice too. I usually leave the conditioner on for a couple of minutes and then brush through with a comb, to help really work the product in. 

I have used this product for over a month now (I actually repurchased it because I loved the results so much). I find it leaves my hair so smooth and soft and leaves it feeling nourished too. I have found that with some shampoos that my head can feel quite itchy, but since using this I haven't had that problem. The product doesn't weigh your hair down either and leaves it feeling clean and fresh (for my hair, a couple of days). 

So overall a really positive experience with these two products and I would recommend them to anyone with dull and dry hair. I think they are a good quality and worth the price. At the moment they are on offer in Boots for £2.99 (usually £5.99).
