Macadamia Healing Oil Spray

Joy to my hair!

I got the small size of this product to trial a little while ago. It is not cheap and I was reluctant to splash out if it wasn't amazing.

Anyway , of course it had to prove itself a hard working little pot of brilliance didn't it!? The ends of my hair do tend to get quite dry . I think the heating we have at school doesn't help matters as they are old style hot air blowers and you can just feel the moisture being sucked out of the room!  My skin and hair seem very dry at the moment and I have been relying on some great products to keep them in good condition.

I use this spray after blow drying and before styling . My hair drinks it up. I do sometimes spray some on the ends between washes to rejuvenate dry ends. It states on the bottle that it is for ultimate shine and protection and I would agree with that. As long as you aren't heavy handed with it then you can apply a light mist wherever you feel it is needed. I would avoid roots, but mid shafts and ends are perfect.

There is a heavier version of this, but this spray version gives a fine mist of healing oil  which is plenty for me even though I have thick hair.

It gets the big thumbs up and has become a daily fixture in my products. The extra bonus is that instead of paying £22.95 for 125ml , Cheap Smells does it for £10.88 with no postage - result!

Affordable Hair Products

Wednesday's Beauty Buys

In my continuing quest to find products that do as good a job as salon products, but at a fraction of the cost, I have been trying out these John Frieda styling products.

I wash my hair every three days and use GHD straighteners so a heat protection element to what I use is essential to avoid breakage, especially as I am attempting to grow it.

1. Frizz Ease Daily Miracle Treatment  with heat protection - this detangles the hair to resist breakage. It is a vitamin enthused, leave - in conditioner that nourishes and detangles dry, damaged strands to help hair resist breakage and feel silky smooth. You spray it through clean damp hair and style as usual. I really like this product. It does not leave my hair feeling like it has a lot of product in at all and certainly detangles it , leaving it soft and smooth.  I am trusting that it is also protecting it!

2. John Frieda Luxurious Volume - Thickening blow dry lotion  with thermo protection. This thickens and lifts from the roots for high rise style. After washing, you towel dry hair and spray on roots , then style as usual. I like to give my hair a bit of lift at the roots, otherwise it lies very flat. This does what it says on the tin, but does feel like you have product in the hair, but I don't think I have found a thickening  product ever that doesn't feel a little bit like that. This works for me, but I am unsure if you wanted a lot of body whether this would be the right product.

3. Frizz Ease - Shape and Shine, Maintain and Brilliance. Flexible hold hairspray.  I find this hairspray not too heavy which is how I like them . You can easily run your fingers through and restyle your hair. It isn't heavy or sticky and has a light fragrance. It still doesn't beat my all time favourite Sebastian product, but it is cheaper and does the job, so for now is staying.

I got these products when they were £4 each and on a 3 for 2 offer in Morrisons so I can't complain.

John Frieda products are on offer at Boots at the moment. 2 products for £8.00. You can also purchase John Frieda products through Amazon.com and Amazon UK .
