Tweet I am always looking for nice oils to treat my itchy sore scalp with and spotted this one on eBay a while ago. It’s by a brand called Janet Ayurveda – the range looks huge and I think is aimed at the Asian market. This is the dry hair oil (called Nelli Gotukola) and contains all kinds of herbs and extracts like hemp and olive. The hair oil is supposed to do the following…
Tweet Mr C tried out a rather funky looking haircare range for me from Schwarzkopf called [3D] Mension (geddit?) many months ago. I don’t know about the man in your life, but Mr C is not particularly disciplined about the products he uses although he does get a bit excited when I give him something new to try. He tried the Activating Shampoo, Mattifying Cream and Activating Serum Shots: Mr C isn’t actually bald, he has quite a lot {Read More}
Tweet It took over a year for my perm to grow out and it was a tough year, I tell ya! Now that it’s finally back to a ‘human’ state, and is straight I can curl my hair again! Hurrah! My favourite kind of curlers are rollers! I find conventional curlers some what tiring to use (I have so much hair) and it takes ages (roll, hold, repeat). I do own some Babyliss Quick Lift Rollers which are AMAZING {Read More}
Tweet Happy Easter, Easter Bunnies! I hope you had a nice one. Today I am talking HAIR. Oh yes. Truth be told, my hair has been a disaster area for quite some time now, due to over processing. Dye – perm – dye – straightening treatment – dye – home straightening treatment – dye – remove dye – dye again – so on and so forth. The result was a frizzy orange mess which I was constantly trying to repair. {Read More}
Tweet I’ve been looking for a gentle way to colour my hair lately and add some depth without reaching for permanent or semi-permanent dyes. My hair was starting to look super brassy and purple shampoos weren’t enough to keep everything in control. Then the magic of Twitter recommended the Aveda colour conditioners to me; Clove and/or Black Malva. I chose Clove: According the the Aveda website, Black Malva is for diminishing red tones and Clove is for intensifying brown {Read More}

Tweet Despite having a perm a YEAR AGO – yes a YEAR AGO that was supposed to grow out after 12 weeks, my perms is still very much alive and kicking. I find it really hard to cope with burly hair – I have come to realise my curly haired friends have to work at getting beautiful bouncy curls. For days when I can’t be straightening my hair, I need to keep the curls and as unfrizzy as possible. Step {Read More}
Tweet It’s really no fun having a sensitive, itchy, spotty sore scalp. I’ve been there, in fact, I go back there every time I use a product that doesn’t suit my scalp or I am under stress and my body reacts by punishing my skin. I generally use SLS free shampoo products although I have found a few exceptions that don’t make me flare up too badly too. Anyhow, when your scalp is unhealthy, you will give anything a go. {Read More}
