Pureology Smooth Perfection & Fabulous Lengths

72 hours of frizz free smoothness for hair…. Done! Say hello to the latest gem of haircare awesomeness from PUREOLOGY, called Smooth Perfection and my new hair BFF, PUREOLOGY Fabulous Lengths. PUREOLOGY is a range of 100% vegan hair care and styling products. From the very contents to the the re-cycled packing to the soy based inks they use for printing not to mention the use of non-petroleum energy printers, this brand is the real deal! They have a range of products to suit all hair types, but for today, lets stick to the new and amazing Smooth Perfection – a range of hair care products designed for all hair types, and gals (or guys too) who are looking for that perfect blow-wave and long lasting smoothness and shine. PUREOLOGY Smooth Perfection combines the best of smoothing, colour care and heat protection into one smooth styling range. Smooth Perfection is packed with moisturizing and conditioning properties; like the lightweight and fast absorbing Camellia Oil which will ease your blow dry battles and fight off that frizz. Plus, the thermal anti-fade complex helps to protect hair from the colour-distorting effects of heat. I love the fact that when I use the Shampoo and Conditioner with one of the styling products, I don’t need an additional heat protectant and my hair and colour stay protected in the shower too! The shampoo and conditioner are an…

Tame your Mane

At the beginning of last month, I was invited to try out KeraStraight – a keratin straightening and hair repair treatment at the beautifully decorated Hairven salon at Hillcrest’s Heritage Market. It’s a great treatment to try if you’re having problems managing your hair, or if it’s just looking frizzy and takes too long to style. About the treatment KeraStraight is an in-salon treatment (so no, you can’t do it yourself). The process involves getting your hair washed with a special cleansing shampoo – that deep cleans your hair and opens up the hair cuticle. Then, one of three KeraStraight treatments is applied to the hair (depending on your hair’s condition). It is then combed through and left to develop before blow drying and ironing. Then another wash at the basin before rough drying the hair to reveal how beautifully conditioned and shiny it looks. Be prepared though, you will be spending a good couple of hours at the salon, but the treatment is totally worth it. What I like about this treatment is that there were no nasty fumes during the process. I have had other “keratin treatments” that left my eyes watering because of the fumes, but with this one there was none of that. In fact,…

Lee Stafford – Big Fat Healthy Hair Shampoo & Conditioner

Who doesn’t want Big, Fat Healthy Hair? As someone with fairly flat hair, this product appealed to me straight away. The Lee Stafford shampoo and conditioner, My Big Fat Healthy Hair gives hair great volume without weighing it down. It contains the Pro‐Volume™ complex of conditioning agents, that banishes dulling deposits that make hair go lank and limp. To top it off, Panthenol has been added to the mix, to keep hair healthy. I’ve been using this range every day since attending the Lee Stafford launch about two weeks ago. The results have been great, and my hair is shiny with loads of bounce. In between the two, I’ve been using the amazing treatment, Lee Stafford Treatment For Hair That Doesn’t Grow Past a Certain Length. (Read my review on this product here) It looks healthy and sleek, but what I love most about this and all Lee Stafford products in fact, is the gorgeous smell. It’s probably one of the best smelling hair ranges I’ve used. Its not quite perfumey, and it’s not quite herbal. It’s a completely different kind of scent that is present in all Lee Stafford products. Get it Lee Stafford, My Big Fat Healthy Hair…
