Kick back the dandruff


when the climate changes my hair hates me and so does mother nature. I get a very dry scalp. I know this is a weird topic, but I had no idea what to do, I tried most things and only found 2 things that have any sort of impact. One more expensive than the other but brilliant nonetheless. This T/Gel Shampoo has completely soothed my scalp. I use it maybe once of twice a week and then I don't get any flakes throughout the whole week. This bottle has also lasted me like 6 weeks so for a price near £7 it is quite expensive. 

I remember in previous years using the body shop Ginger anti-dandruff shampoo and have loved this previously but haven't tried it recently. Maybe I'll try that next due to the price difference.

From Long to Short: Hair

I recently (a few days ago) cut my hair, from medium to short hair. I did originally have really long hair and just wanted a complete change.
A lot of people wouldn't take this step because they're worried about how it'll look. This is just to prove that having shorter hair, is not the end of the world.
The things you have to keep in mind are 1. It's hair, and it'll grow back. It's not just going to stay that length, it will grow. I would say, if you are unsure then cut it after summer and then by the time you get to the next summer holiday, you'll have your longer hair back.
2. After having it cut, try different styles. Make it wavy, curly, straighten it, or even put it up in some way. Don't confine yourself because you think that by having shorter hair, you can't do anything with it.
3. Make sure that when getting it cut, you also have some sort of texture/movement cut into it. I personally think that having a few layers put in, helps the short hair have some bounce, and just looks like there is more going on.
4. Finally, never put yourself down because of your hair. It's one thing out of you as a human being. No one is going to judge you because you think your hair looks awful. Life is not over after one hair cut.
I suppose you could just wear a hat at all times if you really don't like it- I'm kidding of course, unless you think that you could get away with it. But in all seriousness, the world isn't going to end, and if it's too short, it'll grow- just remember that.

TRESemme Heat Defence Spray


I was never one for heat defence spray a few years ago, until fairly recently. First of all, I barely used heat on my hair at all, but even when I did, I never used it because I thought it was hastle. However since using heat defence spray my hair been damaged so much less.
I picked this up after watching a video by MissGlamorazzi on youtube, and thought it would be a good first one if I was going to start heating up my hair. I have to say, I have loved this product, I use it pretty much every time I wash my hair, it just makes it a lot softer and smoother.

Disappointing Product: Toni and Guy sea salt spray


I bought this a fairly long time ago, several months (when sea salt sprays were the best thing ever). I guess i just wanted to test the hype and a trip to boots left me with this.
I have fairly thick hair, that is straight and smooth (hardest to style because it just becomes flat throughout the day) and this product just seemed to pull everything around my face and just look like someone had, kind of, hair sprayed it straight. It looks like i have literally been into the sea, but not that 'baywatch' sexy perfume advert type thing, more of the, I've just been knocked out by a wave and washed up on shore type of look, not good.
Overall this product is too heavy, and sticky. This product might be perfect for people with thinner hair but I wouldn't suggest it.
