Review - L'Oréal Full Restore Hair Masque

L'Oréal Elvive Full Restore 5 Repairing Masque With Serum

I featured this masque in another post here but I never did a full review on it so here it is! 

Firstly, this product is amazing! I genuinely don't know how my hair survived without it. My hair stays feeling and looking healthy by just using this masque once a week. Obviously your regular shampoo and conditioner contribute to the health of your hair but you can never go wrong with a weekly masque. I've always been a fan of L'Oréal hair care products so this was why I chose this masque when I was presented with a never ending selection.

This masque has a solution to hair's most common problems - after using you will find your hair:
1. Feels stronger
2. Looks fuller
3. Looks revitalised
4. Has a healthy shine
5. Looks and feels silkier

After shampooing and conditioning my hair, I put this masque in and leave it for 5-10 minutes. The longer you can leave it the better! Then I wash it out and dry as normal, and wow, the difference is incredible! My hair feels softer than ever, instead of feeling dry and it looks shiny. Since using this masque, my hair is in the best condition it's been in years.
The only downside to this product is the twist-type lid for opening the pot. When you're in the shower, your hands are obviously going to be wet so trying to open the lid by twisting it is almost impossible.

Overall, I would give this product a 9/10 because it has practically saved the life of my hair but unfortunately the impractical lid is a negative. I would definitely give this full marks if the masque came in a bottle instead of a pot.

Review - got2b Beach Matt Texturizing Salt Spray

Schwarzkopf's got2b Beach Matt Texturizing Salt Spray Mermaid Look

I've been looking for a spray for my hair to give me the 'just woken up' look for ages now and when I saw this I bought it without hesitation. I've used Schwarzkopf products for years and I've always been really impressed with them. Until I used this.

To start on a positive note, this spray smells amazing and doesn't have an annoying sticky consistency like most hair products do. When I first used this, the wavy effect was very noticeable straight away and I was delighted with the way it made my hair look and feel. I was soon left disappointed when not even an hour after application, my hair no longer had any waves in it or even any volume. This was a problem for me as I was out so I couldn't even do something with my hair so therefore it just looked messy and like i forgot to brush it. 

Overall, I would give this product a 4/10 as it does do what it says on the tin but unfortunately the style doesn't last longer than an hour.
If you know of any similar products that you found give natural waves/beachy waves then please comment below as I am still on the hunt for one that impresses me!

Argan Oil - Shampoo & Conditioner // Review

I have literally heard so much about all the Argan Oil products and as I am always on the hunt for miracle-working shampoos and conditioners, I decided to try this one out. To cut things short, I wasn't impressed with these products and all and actually found that they dried my hair out. 

I have been dying my hair for the past 6 years so therefore it's important that I take excellent care of my hair. These products state that they leave hair 'shiny, smooth & healthy' but I found them to do the complete opposite. When using the shampoo I noticed that it contained beads (just like in a body scrub) so I am guessing that this might be the reason why I found it to be drying on my hair. I also noticed my scalp became very dry while using these products, something which I have never had problems with before.
I thought that maybe the shampoo and conditioner just weren't suitable for my hair but it clearly states on the packaging that they are suitable for 'all hair types.' On a lighter note, the Argan Oil products smell amazing and keep your hair smelling fresh even in between washes. 

I am very disappointed with these products as I had been wanting to try them out for months and presumed that argan oil was some miracle ingredient for hair. For now I will just have to keep looking for that shampoo and conditioner that transform my hair (if they exist!). 

If you have tried any of the Argan Oil products then I would love to hear how you found them on your hair. Also, if anyone can recommend a shampoo and conditioner that nourishes hair and leaves it looking healthy then please comment below.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,
