My Haircare Favourites

Recently my hair hasn't been in the best condition and as a qualified hairdresser, it saddens me that I've left myself go. A few months ago if you asked me what my haircare routine was I would say I did a conditioning treatment at least once every two weeks and I always use heat defense. These days it's shampoo, conditioner and a lot of heat from the hairdryer. Since becoming anemic my hair has been shedding a ridiculous amount and the thought of having thinner, duller hair has been really upsetting me. When I went to the hairdressers a few weeks ago she told me that she noticed a fair amount of my hair in the sink after shampooing and mentioned that I need to work hard at protecting my hair so it has a greater opportunity of getting back to good health when my iron improves. During the last month I've taken all this information into account and really changed my haircare routine. My hair is looking and feeling better, but it's still early days. 

When I'm having a bad hair day my first port of call has always been Macadamia. I've done so many Macadamia reviews in the past and I believe that none of them really does the brand justice, their products have really changed the look and feel of my hair more than any other products that I've used. The Macadamia Flawless is great for giving your hair the ultimate shine and condition. Macadamia Flawless* is a 6-in-1 hair treatment, giving you a conditioner that cleanses, cuts blow-drying time, detangles, gives volume and eliminates frizz. If you're searching for the 'just left the salon' look, Flawless is the perfect product. My next Macadamia favourite is the Deep Repair Mask*. The Deep Repair Mask helps add moisture to your hair and it's perfect for a little home salon treatment once every couple of days. My hair is feeling more vibrant and the dryness has started to disappear since using this mask on a regular basis. Finally for the Macadamia section is the Macadamia hair oil*. The hair oil is probably not my favourite hair oil, but it does a great job, I use it regularly and it smells nice too. If you like the look of all three of these products, Macadamia are have lots of pretty gift sets incorporating all of these products in time for Christmas.

When it comes to heat defense, I'm in love with the Magical Quick Dry Potion by Cloud Nine. My hairdresser suggested this product when she asked about my haircare routine and advised me to buy a travel sized bottle to try it out. The Quick Dry Potion not only smells divine, but it leaves my hair feeling silky soft and it's quicker to dry my hair. I wouldn't think of blow drying my hair without it these days and I'll definitely be purchasing a bigger bottle in the near future. This was my first experience trying out Cloud Nine products and so far they have won me over with this little beauty.

Even though I shouldn't really be colouring my hair on a regular basis, one of my favourite products is the Garner Olia Iced Chocolate hair colour. It makes my hair look vibrant, gives me a beautiful chocolate brown colouring compared to going almost black like most brands and I'm always happy with the results.
