    Review: Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Shampoo, Conditioner and Masque

    If you read my thoughts on Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil haircare duo recently you’ll know my fine hair could not handle the industrial strength leave-in conditioner. Yes, that’s right, I have weak, pathetic hair. I’ve since been advised to use it as a mask before washing it out, which makes sense. The heavy…

    3”’ More Inches by Michael Van Clarke shampoo and conditioner

    Michael Van Clarke’s 3”’ More Inches shampoo and conditioner has been on my wish-list for some times and last summer, I bit the bullet and bought the pair of them. Six months on, I’m teetering on the last drop or two. Suffice to say it has lasted me well or to put it another way,…

  • Grow Gorgeous Cleansing Conditioner

    Reverse hair-washing seems to be the latest hair trend. Does it really work or is it just a ludicrous and daft idea? My hairdresser and I seem to think so and the idea of using a conditioner first before shampooing is making my scalp itchy. Something which claims to be kind to your hair and effective at removing…

  • John Frieda Full Repair: Strengthen + Restore

    I’m awash with new shampoos and conditioners to review lately, which means my tresses are super shiny and clean. John Frieda’s Full Repair range is new and very affordable, addressing the common concerns of overworked, damaged hair from styling tools and such. It boasts a strengthening formula with the exotic sounding Inca Inchi Oil and…

  • Alterna Bamboo UV+ Vibrant Color Protection

    Discovering Alterna has been one of my favourite beauty highlights of 2013. The results of using a sulphate and sodium chloride-free shampoo has added longevity to the condition and colour of my fine hair, so it’s with much excitement that I was kindly sent their Bamboo UV+ C Vibrant Color shampoo and conditioner for colour…

  • Trevor Sorbie: Salon Approved Straight Collection

    I’ve become somewhat of a shampoo snob vowing to stay devoted to sulphate-free shampoos after parting with my hair extensions last month. But by some strange coincidence, suddenly all these shampoos and conditioners which aren’t sulphate-free have emerged, tugging at my arm and I feel kind of dirty about going back to the dark side. One name…

  • Redken Nature’s Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo

    Sulphate-free shampoos is not a new thing, as I discovered recently when searching for a replacement. However it is a discovery for me since I got a few hair extensions in the new year. Although I’ve had to get used to washing my hair in an oddly different way, I’m now reluctant to give them…

  • James Brown London: Colour Enhance shampoo & conditioner

    James Brown, from what I know of, is a famous hair stylist with famous friends like Kate Moss. (No, he’s not the deceased soul brother singer). The UK JB and KM hail from the same home town of Croydon and since 2007 James has also had his own product range sold in Boots. The Colour…

  • Area H20

    Area H20 should rename itself to ‘Area H2Woah’. It’s a new hair care range free of fancy schmancy ingredients and instead addresses how the type of water in the area you live in affects the condition of your hair. Area H2O has been scientifically formulated by biochemists to work with your water type, not your hair type. It makes…
