Whenever I talk to people about my hair, they tell me that I have the sort of hair that people lust over. Naturally I have very thick and curly hair which you may have seen me rocking in some of my blog posts in the past. However I also have the luxury that it suits me straight as well which a lot of the time tends to have been my style of choice (although these past few months I have been mixing it up and doing both)
So as you can imagine rocking 2 different styles, I use a variety of different products and I thought I would just share with you what my favourites are at the moment.
I just kinda piled it all together and it wasn't until after that I thought maybe I should have separated straight from curly but anyway here they are.
- Lee Stafford Heat Protection Spray - £7.99
- Schwarzkopf Got2bSexy Volumising Moose -
- Charles Worthington Salt Spray - £6.99 (this one is the old packaging)
- Its a 10 - $17.99 (I brought this while in the US)
- Umberto Gianni Curl Smoothing Balm - £4.99
- Tangle Teezer - £10.99
- Vo5 give me texture creme wax - £3.89
All of the products above (apart from the its a 10) are from Boots.
Regardless if I have straight or curly hair, I always start by washing my hair in a shampoo called SP Colour Save by Wella which I pick up from my hairdressers. I love this shampoo and it really works well on my hair. Then I whack on whatever conditioner is lying around at the time. I then put into a hair turban which I picked up for £1 from Wilkos. I usually leave it in there for 10 or 15 minutes while I do my make up. Then onto the styling.
Straight Hair:
The first step I do is to brush my hair through with the Tangle Teezer to remove any knots or tangles. Then I spray on some Its a 10 and do again. Then I put on some of the volumising moose focusing on the roots of my hair. I then dry my hair and straighten it using my GHD straighteners. While straightening I use the Lee Stafford Heat protectant spray. Then to finish it off and give it a little bit of choppiness I use the give me texture wax and just oomph it a little bit as I don't like it to be too polka straight.
Curly Hair:
Curly hair starts pretty much the same as straight. I use the Its a 10 spray and my Tangle Teezer. Then I use my fingers to run through and curl it back up. This just stops my curls being overly frizzy and knotty. I then spray on some Salt spray. I like the Charles Worthington one but I have also used the Toni and Guy one too. I then run the hair dryer over the bulk of my hair apart from my fringe which I then use a brush to dry straight and then run my straighteners over. Depending on how the curls have dried or the type of look I want, I run my curling wand over it to make some more defined curls. Then I finish off with a pea sized amount of Umberto Gianni Smoothing Balm.
And that is your lot. At the moment my staple hair care item is the Its a 10! - I love this and will be sad when it runs out. I love my GHDs as well and think they are extremely worth the money.
