REVIEW: Faith in Nature Shampoo & Conditioner

I love finding out about natural beauty products and have recently been doing some research into natural and organic skin care and want to try some different things out. Which is why I was so interested when I heard about Faith in Nature.   

Review - Hair Rescue L'Occitane en Provence

I just thought I'd do a quick post on a product that i am LOVING at the moment. It is the L'Occitane en Provence - Repairing Mask for Dry & Damaged Hair. 

L'Occitane en Provence - Repairing Mask for Dry & Damaged Hair - £20 

So I must confess that I, like a lot of people I'm sure, burn the hell out of my hair with heat styling and as a result it is incredibly dry. I also have naturally wavy, wispy hair that tends to be dry anyway (think scarecrow). Throw in wind, rain and central heating that comes with Winter and you have a recipe for disaster! So I've decided to take control of the frizz and start treating my hair with a little more respect. I've ditched the "drug store" cheap-ies and have been sampling lots of different higher-end hair products and have stumbled upon this one which I adore. 

This is a hair treatment that you can use once or twice a week in between your shampoo and conditioner. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes. It's a lovely thick, creamy conditioning mask, it has the consistency of hand cream and smells beautiful and luxurious. It doesn't feel at all oily even though it contains a "natural vegetable complex of 5 essential oils" including sunflower and wheat oils! Sometimes I feel (as my hair is quite fine/thin) that masks can be heavy, weigh my hair down and give that "not quite washed out my conditioner properly" feeling. This one leaves my hair feeling soft, deeply conditioned and somehow still feeling squeaky clean. Since using it my hair feels a lot stronger and smoother in general even when not using it. At £20 for 250ml it's a bit pricey but totally worth every penny! I'm sure this is going to last me a long time too as I only use a small amount each time. 

Let me know if you've tried this product or do you know of any other good products for dry hair?

Review - Moroccan Oil

I know this is somewhat old news in the beauty community, but after reading a few negative reviews of this product I thought I would add my two cents as I really couldn't be without it!

I have fairly long, very thick wavy hair. Prone to dryness & knotting in the ends, without smoothing a couple of pumps of Moroccan Oil into my hair after each wash it is an absolute nightmare!

I have tried other hair oils on the market, some that claim to be better quality (Shu Uemura) but none leave my hair as silky & shiny with non-frizzy waves. 

I can't stand my hair feeling weighed down and full of product (which I found with other oils) this feels completely weightless but glossy in my hair once dried.

Whether I'm using heat on my hair or letting it air dry I apply 2-3 pumps of oil to my wet hair, mid length to ends & (apart from heat protectant) this is the only hair product I use.

The smell is INCREDIBLE I would wear it as a perfume if I could, an almost sweet but androgynous scent. Its lovely to have it linger throughout the day keeping my hair fresh. 

I buy the 100ml bottle and usually get through about two bottles a year. I'm so addicted to this product I even keep the mini 25ml bottle in my gym bag.

Every time I get a compliment on my hair it credit it to Moroccan Oil, and every friend who has tried it has raved about it too.

You can currently get the 100ml bottle from Feel Unique for £30.45 with free delivery. Link!
