Fat Hair "0" Calories

As you guys all know I am a sucker for anything that promises to add life to my fine mane. So when I saw this thickening spray, the name grabbed me straight away. I'm a girl consistently on a diet...

Fat hair "0" calories claims to transform fine hair into thicker fuller hair. You spray it directly on to the roots of your towel dried hair and then blow dry or leave to dry naturally if preferred. The zero calories comes from the way it is specially formulated so as not to weigh down your hair.

I picked this up from Superdrug on a 2 for £6 deal. I also got a hairspray which I gave to my mum.

For me, this sadly did not live up to expectation. I completely agree, it does not weigh down my hair. It just doesn't do anything. I don't feel any added volume given to my hair, nor do I feel it has any benefits when it comes to styling. I have tried various volumising hair products and this is one I would not repurchase.

Batiste Big & Bouncy XXL Volume

If you've read any of my other posts, you'll know my hair is fine, flat and gets oily quickly. I often wish I had the type of hair that I could wash every few days, wake up in the morning and go. But for me, I need to wash, dry and style every morning and layer with an abundance of volume boosting products.

So whilst browsing the aisles in Superdrug last week I picked up the new-ish Batiste Big and Bouncy XXL Volume dry shampoo.

I've never been a religious user of dry shampoo, mostly because I wash my hair everyday and my hair is too oily on the 2nd day for dry shampoo to make a difference.

The main attraction for me was the XXL volume that this product promises.

After I dry and my hair I spray a bit of this on my roots and work in with my fingers. My hair is obvoiouly not greasy at this point but the boost it gives to my hair is amazing. My hair feels thick and volumised but with no sticky residue in my hair. It also has a really nice fresh scent.

I find that when I apply this in the morning, my hair doesn't look as lank at the end of the day, which is also a massive bonus.

I'm not quite at the stage where I can go two days without washing, but maybe someday I will find a product that allows this but for now this product is making me very happy.

I picked this up half price in Superdrug - BARGAIN!!!

Hair Haul

Big and Beautiful.

That's how I like my hair. Sadly, my hair is somewhat lacking in the volume department so last week I picked up some goodies in the hope that I could put some life back in my locks.

I had saved up quite a few points on my Boots Advantage card so decided to use them to buy my goodies.

The first three items are from Trevor Sorbie. (These are currently 3 for 2)

Beautiful Volume Hairspray

This claims to be a day long hairspray which is designed to hold your 'do in place without weighing it down. I've not yet managed to put it to any serious styling tests yet, but so far it seem like a decent hair spray and it doesn't have that usual choke-me hairspray scent.

Beautiful Volume Thickening Shampoo

This shampoo smells lovely and fresh and lathers really well. After blow drying I can definitely feel a difference in body in my hair and it feels really nice and soft. I'd definitely recommend this and I will repurchase as I think it has become a new favourite.

Beautiful Volume Volume Booster

This styling spray should be used on towel dried hair to help boost volume after drying. I do like how this adds volume to my hair but I feel like you need to be careful not to use too much as it does leave a bit of stickiness in your hair if overused. It also has added heat protection which is a bonus.

All 3 products cost £5.10 each.

The final product I got was one that I'd heard a lot about and that I was keen to try.

Schwarzkopf Got2be Powder'ful Volumizing Styling Powder.

As stated in the name it's a styling powder which focuses on adding instant lift and body to the roots. You sprinkle some powder onto your fingers and work it into your roots. The powder disappears and you're left with good lift and texture which gives the hair a voluminous appearance. It's a great instant boost however the powder does leave a residue in your hair so it doesn't leave you free to run your fingers through your hair. I think this is a great product to use when backcombing and creating a style which needs lots of height.

Have any of you guys tried these products? What are your favourite hair care and volumising products?

Boots Haulin'

Hello Gorgeous...

So this weekend I did my favourite kind of shop...A trip to Boots! Yay!

Just wanted to quickly show you the things I got.

I finally got my hands on The Umberto Giannini "Backcomb In  A Bottle". I'd seen it mentioned a few times by some other bloggers and really wanted to try it for myself. I'm going to try it when I go out this weekend and I'll let you know my thoughts.

I also wanted a new pair of lashes for this weekend, so after a lot of perusal I picked up the Girls Aloud Eyelure lashes in "Kimberley". These caught my eye as they were the most natural looking, I don't really like wearing big clumpy lashes.

I also picked up a new Barry M Nail Paint in "Navy". I really love my other Barry M paints so am very keen to add to my collection.

Whilst looking at the make up stands I noticed Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation. I don't know if this is new or not, I can't recall seeing it thought. I got this in shade 72, Rose Clair. I'm keen to try this out and let you know what I think.

Finally, I noticed there were quite a few pieces of Boots Jewellery on sale for £1. I can't resist sale jewellery, so I was very happy. I picked up these little red flower studs, I think they'll be great for brightening up a black or dark outfit. Plus, at £1, they're a total steal.

Have any of you guys tried any of these products? What do you think?

Holy Grail Hair Product...

Hello Girlies ♥

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Just thought I'd leave a quick post to share my HG hair product.

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance.

I use regular conditioner around once or twice a week. As I've said I have fine hair and conditioner tends to not only weigh it down and make it lank if overused, but also make it far too soft to work with. Basically not great. So I picked up this little beauty. At first I was worried. Would a leave in conditioner be even worse? But I was curious. So I tried. And I liked.

First off the smell. Aahhh that smell. If you've used it you'll know what I mean. I can't describe or liken it to anything, all I know is it's exquisite.

I spray this on towel dried hair every morning before blowdrying. It detangles very well.

It contains jojoba seed oil which helps to protect my locks. I love the way it makes my tresses feel. Silky smooth without being weighed down. And that beautiful smell lasts all day.

I've been using this product everyday for about two months now and am suitably impressed!

Also, I love the Aussie Philosophy...

"There's more to life than hair, but it's a good place to start!"
