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). 

Thanks for reading!

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Review

I put my hair through quite a bit with using my hair dryer and straighteners at least once every other day. It can become quite dry at times and I do get worried about getting split ends. I have used Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends shampoo and conditioner before and really loved the smell and the result from using it and so the other week I decided to try this intensive hair mask from the same range. It is designed for dry and damaged hair.

There are two types you can buy - one which you leave in your hair and the other which you wash out after 5 minutes. I decided to get the one which you wash out, as I'm not too sure I like the idea of leaving a conditioner in my hair.
