Project Pan #3 haircare edition

Following the previous successful project pan posts here and here, I have another one to share with you. This time there's lots of hair care products to share, which doesn't surprise me at all!

Bastiste dry shampoo

I couldn't live without this stuff. I don't know what I did before it, honest. As I mentioned in the first project pan post, I have very thin hair and even if I touch it like 5 times in one day I can make it greasy. Which is a pain, especially because I like having my hair played with. I use it daily and I have already repurchased it. I just wish it was so blooming expensive, because the own-brands really don't match up.

Would I buy it again? For sure.

TRESemme Iron Style and Hold

this one is cheating because it's not quite finished yet, but it's pretty much there. I love this heat protection spray more than the GHD one featured on the last post, because it smells amazing. Similar to the GHD one, it isn't too much for my hair, it doesn't make it droop or feel icky, it's just great.

Would I buy it again? Yes. 

Argan Oil Conditioner

This conditioner, I have to admit, was from the 99p store. It had Argan oil in it so I wanted to try it (everyone is raving about it!) but yes, as you would expect, it wasn't that great from the 99p store. It smelt nice and it did make my hair tamer but I couldn't see much conditioning treatment to it.

Would I buy it again? No

Toni&Guy Nourish Conditioner for Damaged Hair

This was a great product, I also had the matching shampoo. When using them together I really noticed a difference in my hair, it was so much shinier, less frizzy and just generally treated better. I liked the smell but I reckon it could put some people off - it reminded me of Cardamon.

Would I buy it again? Yes if it was in a deal.. but I'd like to try different products. 

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor

I love Aussie - not all aussie, but definitely this. I love aussie mainly for it's scent. This makes your hair smell like bubblegum and that makes me very very happy. It does make a bit of a difference to my hair but not enough for the price tag. I think in future I'll just stick to buying the single sachet's when they're on offer. 

Would I buy again? Probably.. I'm a sucker for the smell. 

So yes, I think that is enough for this project pan post - I am flyyyyying through these products which makes me a happy bunny. I am moving out soon and definitely don't have enough room for odds and ends. Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? Did you agree or disagree?

Hair Care

Michael took me into town recently to buy his brother's birthday present. While we did buy one present I spent a LONG time browsing hair care products. I spent way too long in there. I'd feel bad on myself if it was just me for the amount of time I spent looking but it wasn't, poor old Michael had to endure it too.

So, I was looking for a hair oil; I've used serums in the past and I like them, but they always feel a bit too much. Emma writes about oils a lot and has recommended a couple, as has Lyzi. Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on hair care at the moment, so I thought I'd take full advantage of this!

I chose one from John Freida's range as Lyzi was impressed, and I have to admit that I got all the oils/serums and chose the best smelling one - I love it when my hair smells nice!

Next, as my hair is quite long and I only really trust one lady with my hair, it needs treatment in between cuts. I don't usually do too much - I condition every time I wash my hair, I use heat protection spray, I only back comb once a week max and I don't actually use heat on my hair that often (Especially now my straighteners are broken :'( ). I still decided on this hair mask by Trevor Sorbie, again, because it smelt nice. I can't wait to use it, I don't need to wash my hair but I want to just so I can have beautiful smelling hair! If you've looked at this product you'll know it's for blonde hair, and if you look at me, you'll know I'm a brunette. I chose the blonde one anyways because I'd like my hair to be a bit lighter and, while I don't think this treatment will do that, I don't want the brunette one to darken it either. 

Lastly, I decide upon some salt spray. I am lucky because my hair is naturally wavy (if I spend time on it when I get out of the shower), however I tend not to do this because I am lazy and it just goes frizzy. Whilst I've got some time off over Easter I'm going to see how easy this Charles Worthington rough and tousled salt spray makes things, and go from there!

as you can see, the label at the side is lifted. this really bothered me in the shop and I tried to look for one without the label lifted but there wasn't one. hmph. when I got home and read the can, it said there are hair industry secrets underneath the label and everything became clear! 

So yes, I have already used to oil and it is lovely, smells so good and tames my hair. I can't wait to use the others! Have you tried any of these? what are your favourites?
