My Haircare and Styling Routine

I'm pretty "low maintenance" when it comes to haircare and styling, but I do like to treat my hair every now and then if they are a bit dry, dull and flat looking. Some of the products have been in my routine for ages and they are just very trustworthy and effective as far as managing my hair and keeping them healthy, shiny and volumising so without further ado let's start with haircare products. 

I don't wash my hair on a daily basis, maybe every 2 or 3 days, and for that I'm using the Lush Seanik Solid Shampoo which just makes my hair squeaky clean and smells amazing. I don't use any conditioner afterwards because again I just can't be bothered and honestly I don't feel the needs for any conditioner, however I do use a deep conditioner or a hair mask maybe once a week for deeply nourishing my hair, and for that I'm really enjoying the Aestelance Hair Mud Mask and Redken Diamond Oil Deep Facets Intensive Treatment. 

I rotate between the two. If I have itchy scalp or just want a healthy roots then I will go for the Aestelance one because it really cools down my hair, eases away the itchiness and leaves my hair silky smooth and ultra shiny. But if my hair feels dry and dull or when I have damaged ends from heat styling tools then the Redken one is the way to go. It just really gets in there, nourishes my ends and leaves my hair smooth, shiny and healthy looking. I won't go into too much of detail because I have done full blogposts on all 3 so make sure to click the links above if you wanna know more. 

Moving onto styling products... I don't usually use that many products on my hair but the Prime Extender by Living Proof is a must. It's a hair primer that you are supposed to apply to damp hair before any styling products. I don't think this product really prolongs my hair style but it does leave them smooth and tangle-free. It kinda grows on me. I do notice a difference when I don't use it but the strange part is I can't tell you what the difference is. It's just a nice product and I really like it. 

Normally when I just need a lift to my roots I will spray the Volumising Spray by Bumble and bumble, this also acts as a heat protection spray, but just on the roots then blow dry. However, if I'm going out I will then layer it with the Surf Spray throughout my hair for a full-on volume and texture. They work great together to give me a big hair. If that is still not enough or I just need that bit more texture then I would go for the Living Proof Instant Texture Volumizer. This is sort of like a styling wax but not waxy at all, more like a cream. I take a pea size amount, rub it between my palms and style my hair with it. It gives extra texture and volume to my hair and makes it more "messy" looking, like I just roll out of bed but in a "glamorous" way. 

That's it, that's all the hair products I use. I will still try more products obviously being a beauty junkie, but for now they work great for my straight, fine, slight greasy medium lengthed hair. I highly recommend all of them if you have the same or similar hair type. I hope you have enjoyed my haircare and styling routine. Thank you beauties, have a lovely weekend wherever you are and see you next week! Muahh!

REDKEN Diamond Oil Deep Facets Intensive Treatment

Hi guys happy Tuesday! I haven't done a review on hair products in a long time and today I am bringing to you a full review on a very nice hair treatment so hope you like it. 

I, to be honest, never tried any products from REDKEN but I have heard so many good reviews on their hair products. If you recall my Feelunique Haul blogpost which I did a month ago then you would've seen this product. It is from their Diamond Oil line. It's called Diamond Oil Deep Facets Oil Enriched Intensive Treatment for Dull/Damaged hair. What a mouthful! I got it as a sample from Feelunique and it's a deluxe travel size (30 ml) which is pretty generous as far as samples go. I have tried it for the past 3 weeks and I can tell you it is very nourishing and makes my hair silky smooth and soft. I like it. 

It is basically a deep hair conditioner that you use once or twice a week for deeply conditioning your hair. It comes out a off-white cream and feels really smooth. It is enriched with a luxurious blend of coriander, apricot and camelina oils. It claims to provide intense replenishment to hair that is in need of a shine and strength boost. 

I really do like this product as I said before. It makes my hair shiny, soft, and silky smooth. It smells incredible and it lingers throughout the day which is awesome. But one thing I really think this product is actually working is that after leaving it on for like 15 mins there's nothing left on my hair. Literally. I touched my hair and it's like I never put on anything apart from they are softer than before. A lot softer. I mean all the products absorbed really nicely. It really penetrates deeply into the hair and making it smooth and soft afterwards. A big thumbs up for that. I am considering buying the full size. 

I think this conditioner is really nice to use in the winter as it deeply nourishes the hair so my hair don't feel dry nor dull. If you wanna know what deep hair treatment is good for using in the summer then click  for my review on the Aestelance Mud mask. It makes my scalp and hair feel cool. I mean literally feel cooling after using it which makes it perfect for the summer. 

All in all I give it a 5 out of 5 for this product. That's right. It is that nice. If you have dull, dry or colour treated hair then this is perfect for you. It is also Silicon free. 

That's it guys. Hope you like my review. Let me know if you have tried it and how you think of it. Until next time stay fabulous beauties! Muah!!
