FAST Review: An innovation for hair?

Hello my Gorgeous friends!

Ever had a really bad haircut? Or a hairdresser taking off a good 5 inche because you needed a 'good trim' (pfft, trim my bottom!) Well, fear no more! As I have been willing enough to test a shampoo that boasts about how it increases the growth of hair!

I am a sceptic, always have been so as soon as I saw what this shampoo was supposed to do - I had to try it. So, after a few days, I received a few samples of the product in the post.

'FAST (Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy) is a deep cleansing shampoo & conditioner that specifically made to stimulate faster hair growth, addressing all sorts of hair problems like a bad haircut, slow growing hair and even weak dry hair that is prone to breakage.'

The hair products are full of vital vitamins such as Cystine, cysteine and methionine which are sulphur containing amino acids. Over 90% of the dry weight of hair comprises proteins called keratins, which have high disulphide content, from the amino acid cysteine. Methionine is able to strengthen the structure of hair and nails.



Amino Acids help build hair follicles & so, encourage hair growth. Also, the process in which you apply the shampoo stimulates your blood in the scalp, which again helps hair growth.

The Results: Well, I have got to hand it to them - It really works! My hair does grow quite quick but I have noticed that It grows even faster with this product - a good 5 cm over 10 days! And I seriously recommend it! Although the treatment doesn't come cheap at £24.99 for both the bottles.

Tips: Taking Folic Acid supplements while on this treatment also helps increase healthy hair growth & drinking plenty of water.

Will you be trying this product?

P.S. I forgot to mention, I actually brought this product I loved it so much!

Hair Review: Macadamia Oil 'Get Hooked'

Hello my Beauties!

Welcome to my new blog! I hope for great things to come from this blog so here's a start!

I was lucky enough to be sent the 'Get Hooked' gift set by Macadamia natural oil - a brand that uses macadamia oil infused with other natural ingredients to create superior hair care products. And with the brand receiving a number of rewards, it must be good! The gift set contained 2 products:- a 30ml sample of the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment & 30ml Deep Repair Masque. The oil is suitable for all hair types & boasts about being nourishing, de-tangling hair & generally making your hair easier to manage. 

When I was using these product, there was one thing that struck me straight away - the gorgeous yet alluring smell! you can really smell the macadamia oil & it is divinely sweet! I decided that I would use the mask first as it made sense to do so. It recommended that you left on the masque on for 7 minutes & to put it on wet hair. However, I decided to leave the mask on for about an hiur as I wanted to get the full benefit. The masque was a peachy/orange consistency and smelt divine. After I washed the masque, my hair felt and looked physically healthier - which I was pleasantly surprised about seeing as my hair had been over processed for so long. 

The healing treatment sealed the deal & I was completely amazed by it! It really felt like my hair was healing! my hair was smooth, UV protected & became easily de tangled  & I sincerely recommend the product. In fact, I shall be ordering both of these as soon as my pay check comes through!

The products can be purchased from their website & see for yourself the amazing goodness!

Hair Colour review - Candy Floss by Colour Craze

Hello my Lovlies,

For the past few weeks I have been ooohing and awwwing about dying my luscious blonde hair to a pastel pink. I had been waiting for the L'Oreal Pastel Pink to become available in the Derby or Nottingham Boots but I'm an extremely inpatient person! So, I went to my alternative hair store Xpression and brought this:

For light/bleached hair, I thought it would be perfect for my hair. How wrong was I!

Firstly, the mixture was extremely runny - It could be just preference but I prefer a thicker consistancy.

Secondly, & probably the worst part: I brought TWO bottles of EXACTLY the same product, colour everything. And guess what? one colour was DARKER than the other. I was horrified! 

After watering the colour with conditioner, and leaving the colour on for 1 hour I was left with this:

The photos are a little deceiving - the colour came out patchy, bright pink in some places and peachy in others. I absolutely hated it! My hair was bleach blonde/platinum blonde and I do not understand why the hair colour came out this way.

I sincerely do not recommend the brand, and recommend that you use Directions pink mixed with conditioner.

My Bad Hair Experience

Hello my Lovelies!

I wanted to tell you - well, really warn you - about a recent bad hair experience that I encountered.

Before this time, I have never had a truly bad hair experience apart from when I bleached my hair and it was green, orange and yellow! But this has well and truly scared me.

I recently started using the Tresemme Keratin Smooth. I've never had any problems with this brand before but, for some reason, this shampoo and conditioner doesn't agree with me.

After one wash, my hair started to malt a little bit more than usual. My mother, as a hairdresser, just thought that it may be getting rid of the dead hair as it has so much more protein in it. However, as the days carried on, more and more hair began falling out and I got really worried. It was the only product that I had changed in my routine.

Since then, my hair is so much more thin (I used to have a lions mane) & I've had to have a hair cut, which I hate :(

After some research, I found other people with the same problem such as this blog and a list of harmful ingredients commonly avoid. Funnily enough, Tresemme has 2 of these ingrediants.

I really DO NOT recommend this shampoo!
