Week One Review | Can Hair Oils Create Healthy Hair Results?..

Week One Review | Can Hair Oils Create Healthy Hair Results??...: 

My hair is, what one could say, a challenge. I admit  that, yes now I am older, my hair is a lot, in fact many times better, but there's always one issue. Split ends. I have my hair trimmed on the ends and feathered every four to six weeks minimum, I brush my hair working from the bottom and am a healthy food obsessor. I am certain the amount of vegetables, protein, fruits, minerals and healthy fats in my diet are enough to sustain me; so what's the deal?

The VO5 hair oils that I have been using
Well... my Hair Dresser says my hair is thick, but isn't. It's not fine, but average and by three Hairdressers they've all said "There is a lot of hair on your head, why so much hair?". With feathering and cutting, you would think my hair would contain itself. Now the frizz factor is back, and with hair being a odd deep blonde, going into verges of ginger in some places (I had 'strawberry blonde' hair as a baby until about three years of age) and brown in others, it looks like a wavy, curly, frizzy mess :/ Even more irritating-yes, my hair does have that 'shine' that hair should have, but the ends are terrible after some time, and that got me thinking; maybe my hair needs a spa day. Hair oils, to feed my hair with nutrients and moisture.  So I went hunting, taking me seconds after remembering someone gave me hair oils, a four pack from VO5 and I never opened them.  So after my massive paragraphs about my hair, here is my review to hair oils after day one.

Week one before applying first tube of
 hair oil. Here my hair appears
rather fine and not very full.
Lets see if this changes..
The back of the pack said you must dampen hair first and "lather" the oils into your hair, after leaving the oils to heat up in the bath,sink or shower. With this oil, the instructions said to be sure NOT to exceed time for over a minute other "this product may cause irritation", a bit of a concern for me, however I left it on for roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Then came washing the product out in time to avoid the irritation; which took some time. Afterwards, I was instructed by the packet information to carry on with my shampoo/ shampoo and conditioner, but being me, I forgot to buy conditioner... um....

The night I left my hair to dry naturally, as again to try an avoid hair damage I let my hair dry naturally which takes a long time, it began to become frizzy. Once brushed, my hair became even more of a mess, standing in all angles on my head, fairly normal thing for someone who has slightly curly hair, or wavy hair, depending on everyone's individual opinions of defining curly or wavy hair. The next morning, I awoke with my hair feeling smoother than normal and looking a lot thicker, I looked in the mirror and BAM!: extremely soft, shiny waves, but guess what, I get that usually, so couldn't decipher if it was my natural hair or the oils working this. As the day progressed, I noticed my hair did indeed appear shinier, smoother and thicker, more than usual. So, did it work? Well I think it may have, yes. However I will be applying the next tube of oil Sunday same as last week and taking photographs to see if the difference is noticeable, so look out.

For now, we will just have to wait and see what this brings until my next post of this review.

Discovering The World Of Fragrance | My New & Favourite Perfumes & Fragrances

Discovering The World Of Fragrance | My New & Favourite Perfumes & Fragrances
(Photography taken by me Caris)

Hello I hope all is well. Today I have a mini review of mine, sharing my favourite and new perfumes and fragrances. Now, I am not sure if I would call myself a perfume lover. Only recently have I bothered to use perfumes apart from one which I rarely ever used. It was just because of the fact that I never wanted to or felt the need to, until I received many as gifts for my Birthday and Christmas and they smelt so nice. So here's my newly discovered and favourite perfumes and fragrances. 


DKNY Red Delicious:

I recieved this perfume as a Christmas gift and I have to say it really does smell delicious. I love fruity flower smelling fragrances and perfumes and this one smells just like a delicious red apple; the pretty bottle being in the shape of an apple with a silver top and a touch spray dispenser. My favourite of all ny new perfumes.

I definitely recommend this for those like me who wish to have a lovely smelling perfume to wear which is not overwhelming, but a delicate scent to it, such as one of a flower or fruit extract. Just two sprays is all I think is needed with this perfume.   

Britney Spears Believe:

 I am not normally one to buy products of the rich and famous, but this perfume smells lovely. I recieved this as a birthday gift and I really like it. It's hard to explain the way it smells, but it's a bit like something sweet like a rose or small flower.. I know an odd comparison but this perfumes scent is strong, with it being easily noticed with just one spray. Another perfume recommendation from me. A must for anyone like me who likes delicate perfumes and fragrances. One or two sprays is all I think I need because I only like to use a little perfume, otherwise too much can give me a headache.



So..? Kiss Me.

So...? Kiss Me: 
So...? Kiss Me eua de toilette is an old favourite of mine. You can get 30ml bottles and 50ml bottles. I managed to find my current 50ml bottle in Boots for £5.24 instead of £10.49.  It smells so so nice. The best I can describe it is sweet smelling sugary scent. It smells so delicate and doesn't have that strong chemical hint in it like many perfumes do that
I have come across, so again just a few sprays and it lasts a long time being worth the cost. Plus it smells delightful too. I recommend this it is my all time favourite and I always must have one at home.

So..? Eternal

So...? Eternal:
From the same people who made the So...? Kiss me eua de toilette, So...? Eternal was given to me as a gift for my 18th
Birthday and it has a very sweet smell to it. It smells like a mixture of vanilla essence and plant essence and once again only a few sprays are needed. I am still becoming used to this one as it smells like a more powerful version of the So...? Kiss Me but with the difference of a hint of vanilla and plant essence.

Those are all from my small collection of fragrances and perfumes, but I would definately recommend them and why not give them a try, being sure to always use the tester to be sure you like the fragrance and perfume that you've picked up. If you have any reviews on any of the following, why not share them below. Thankyou for reading :*
