PRETTY YOUNG THING

I've been using the Umberto Giannini Indulge range* since before Christmas and I thought i'd share my thoughts with you guys. I haven't done a beauty product review for so long but i've just got to share this range with you.

First up how lovely is the packaging, yes its white with Rose Gold lettering!! So the packaging is gorgeous! The only thing I don't like about it is I prefer a squeezy bottle as I don't think you can get all the product out of these bottles.

The shampoo is so good! My hair feels sooo soft and clean once i've washed it using this. I don't even have to repeat, the first wash is amazing and leaves my hair feeling lovely. I could actually skip conditioner but I don't as I really like the Indulge conditioner too. I think this has lasted really well as I've been using it a few times a week for about 5/6 weeks so its a good value for money.
Boots always have offers on aswell so you can usually save some money on the product too.

The conditioner is lovely, not too thick and it leaves the hair feeling so soft. The scent is lovely and my hair always feels so clean and soft after using the range. The nourishing hair mask is lovely too for that extra bit of hydration and nourishing.

I'm really loving this range and I will be repurchasing it as I am loving it! I really wanted to feature the range in a review and share with you guys as I really have loved using it.

The Umberto Giannini Range is on 2 for £10 at Boots right now so make sure you check it out soon.

Everyone's hair is different and I find it hard to copy tutorials and experiment with my hair. My hair is good, it styles easily and I can curl it or straighten it quite easily. It gets greasy quickly and I have started getting issues with my scalp but apart from that my hair is healthy and considering I haven't had it cut for a while it's not that bad.

I thought i'd share a few products i'm using right now and i've switched up my hair porducts/ tools alot recently.

Shampoo and Conditioner :

I've been using the Loreal Elvive Extraordinary clay range for a little while now, you can see my full review here.  I started having problems with my scalp back in april/may time. I quickly found out that it was product build-up that was irritating my scalp so I stopped using dry-shampoo so much and switched to this shampoo and conditioner combo which worked well for my hair and scalp. I haven't been using it alot recently but my scalps been playing up again so i've introduced it back into my routine. I use it a couple of times a week alongside my other shampoo and conditioner.

I've recently been using the Bedhead TIGI Fully Loaded range* which is a range designed to add volume to your hair. My hair can be abit limp so i've been using this whole range and I love it! The shampoo and conditioner clean my hair really well and leave it feeling so clean and soft. It also smells incredible.

Styling Products: 

Also from the Bedhead Fully Loaded range i've been using the Volume Boosting foam. I can't remember the last time I used a foam but this is lovely and really adds volume to my hair and makes it perfect for styling. I love using this when i'm going to curl my hair.

I have been a huge fan of Lee Stafford's Coco Loco range for a while now. I love the CoConut SPritz*this is such a lovely product. I use it if i'm leaving my hair to dry naturally and sometimes if i'm blow drying it. It leaves your hair smelling amazing and just leaves it more manageable. It detangles and smooths hair.

Also from the Coco Loco range is Blow and Go. *This is a cream product that you apply to damp hair before blow drying. I like using this because it contains heat protection as well as detangles the hair, smooths and de-frizz. It conditions and strengthens the hair too. It's an amazing product, i'm nearly all out and need to repurchase.

To set the hair, whether i've curled it or straightened it i've been reaching for the Bedhead TIGI Fully loaded finishing spray*. It's a really nice firm hold but it's not sticky and doesn't leave your hair all crunchy. I feel that my curls are more voluminous and hold well using this spray. I think it works well to add texture to straight hair too, I really like this product.

Hair Tools:

I love my GHD's I have had them for years and they are amazing, I could never use any other straighteners.

I have a couple of pair of curlers for different types of curl. Recently i've been reaching for my Lee Stafford Coco Loco Long Tong *for that everyday wave/ curl. The long tong has a longer tong(like the name) so it's perfect for all hair lengths. I find this easier to use that most hair curlers.

Recently i've been using the Arconic blow dry brush* which i'm loving!!  This is a curved paddle brush which is designed for medium to long hair. I find it so easy to use. It's a nice weight, not too heavy and very comfortable to hold. I really like blow drying my hair using this brush. It makes the hair really straight but not flat, it adds volume which is amazing and because the paddle is so big you can dry your hair so quickly by using this brush, which I love because drying your own hair is so boring.

I'm a massive fan of  Neal and Wolf, I've tried a few of their products and I haven't been disappointed yet! This is their intensive care treatment, its a intensive conditioner for your hair. You use it after you have shampoo'd your hair and you would use it weekly like you would any intensive treatment. I have found it really easy to apply, it's a nice creamy formula. I like to comb through my hair before I go in the bath/shower and then shampoo and follow with the treatment. I then run my fingers carefully through my hair to ensure the treatment is even to the ends, I don't really apply it to my roots as I find conditioners make my roots greasy. It has that amazing Neal and Wolf scent that I love so so much and it lingers so your hair smells fab! I love how Neal and Wolf products are both luxurious and kind to your hair with no sulfates or parabens you know its the best care for your hair. I like the squeezy bottle and find it easy to use. Its £13.50 which I think its realistic for a product like this, it leaves your hair soft and silky but manageable.
You only need to use this treatment like once a week so the 200ml bottle should last quite a long time it also comes it a very generous 950ml bottle aswell, which is more of a salon size bottle however for only £27.50 its a good buy.

I use the heat protection spray after whilst I blowdry and straighten my hair, I have reviewed this here Neal and Wolf Heat Protection Spray

I'm a huge fan of Neal and Wolf shampoo and conditioner, it's one of those brands that I have tried a few times and have always been impressed. When I was offered the chance to review a Neal and Wolf candle I jumped at the chance.

First of all the style of the candle is lovely, the packaging is matte purple and looks so expensive.

It has a lovely citrus/orange scent and as it burns very floral aromas of Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Orchid. I think the scent is similar to that of Neal and Wolf's shampoo and conditioner which I absolutely love the smell of! Neal and Wolf have developed their fragrances that have been created by perfume houses that are behind some of the worlds finest scents.

I think this candle looks amazing alongside the rest of my candles, it's one of my new favourites. I think its quite affordable alongside other popular candle brands at only £17.95 for 45 hours burning time I think its a good value for money.

I really want to try more from Neal and Wolf the range has grown since the last time I visited their site, theres now lots of choice when it comes to haircare. I love the look of the Cleanse and Treat backwash Duo pack and the Smoothing Blow-dry Balm.

What do you think of Neal and Wolf products?
