Pardon the pun but it got a bit hairy this month.

I used a product that made my hair go greasy and lank but not sure which product it was.

Then I had to use dry shampoo which made it look allright luckily, but it also looked white.

I used to get a brown one that solved greasy bad hair days.

Just found it again

Grow your hair out till April Project

I’m still growing my hair out till April and some of the ends look a bit fluffy.

I’ve still got short layers underneath that are really annoying from a detangle brush I bought that wasn’t a detangling brush and actually broke some of my hair off.

Think I’m just going to leave them to grow long now, if I trim them they will be short again.

My semi permanent hair colour out of stock?

I just use semi permanent due to my hair having gone porous.

High porosity hair has raised cuticles, allowing moisture to enter easily but escape just as fast, leading to dryness, frizz, and rapid damage. Often genetic or caused by chemical/heat damage, this hair type needs heavy, protein-rich products and sealants (like oils or butter) to retain moisture.

Mine was created by bleach, straighteners and hairdryers.

(The microfibre turbans sorted out the frizz problem.)

The only colour that works for me is dark ash or cool shades.

I don’t use henna either.

Not sure what to do about this as you aren’t supposed to use ones with red in either.

Mine went an awful red colour once.

Guess I’ll have to wait till it comes in stock again or get a wig.

Suppose it is an excuse for a rest.

As I have stress flu I’m having to have a rest by default anyway.

Alba Botanicals

As my hair was greasy and bouffanted from dry shampoo I decided to give it a nourishing wash from my favourite shampoo.

Prefer my hair straight and the two products below do just that.

As I wrote this in advance I have washed my hair since with my new go to shampoo.

OGX

Thick & Full+ Biotin & Collagen pH Balanced Shampoo

ogx-thick-and-full-biotin-and-collagen-shampoo

Running out of this now so just popped some in my basket.

This is brilliant if you have fine hair and does what it says on the tin.

Got loads of new products was going to try but I have had flu for 2 weeks now so opted for just a serum.

Also it is easier to see results by just trying one new product at a time.

Got loads of minis from the mini day in slimming calendar ~ love mini day

Put a link to handbag minis, handy for travel or the gym also. Great for small hanbags as well. Carrying less in your handbag is good for posture also. The search has turned up just about everything except the travel brush. Hopefully proper brushes will come back soon. Enjoy browsing minis, hope you find something fun. Exercise can be just part of daily life and this simple if you just want to be slim and have no body building goals etc.

travel+minis

(Really need a proper detangling brush for fine hair.)

Hope you also got some joy from this shop.

Tried this one first.

Review

This morning my hair is full of volume.

As I’ve got stress flu, I fell asleep without combing my hair through when almost dry; have to use that technique as I can’t get a trustworthy detangling brush for fine hair.

In the morning it was a bit worringly bouffanted, it actually detangled really easily which is a result I wasn’t purposely trying out; wonder if this helps split fluffy ends grow long again.

How to use

“Step 1:
Use once daily in the morning or before going to bed.

Step 2:
Apply 3-4 pippettes on dry or towel dried hair. Do not rinse.

This might heal the damage from the missold detangling brush.

Last night has sort of sold this to me then.

Noticed an offer at the moment ~ good time to purchase Kerastase.

boots.com/kerastase

Just look for the products in the offer.

Maybe I’ll find my new smoothing shampoo.

Conclusion

Hope this is of use to you.

You can get the dry shampoo in handbag size which is really useful.

Hopefully more products that had gone will come back into stock.

Hope your hair is growing out if you have been struggling like me.

I don’t wash my hair very often as I dry it naturally, will try the other minis out and review, with view to repurchasing full size versions.

Decided to do the Keratase anti hair fall challenge as it might be just what I’m looking for.

It is in the offer if you want to try it too; you get a gloss shampoo and conditioner free.

These free gifts are how I survive these days, luckily they seem to know what you need rather than struggling through loads of new products you don’t have the knowledge about.

Feel a bit more hopeful now than where I started with flu and greasy hair.

Listened to this while I was writing and feel a lot better.
