Review| Organic Root Stimulator 'HAIRepair' Nourising Conditioner

Hey everyone,

So first off, I am so so so so sorry that I haven't posted in so long. It's a new year and it's brought new challenges, and lots of university work. Anyway hope I can make new posts now.

Anyway..

So this conditioner contains Banana and bamboo extract and is targeted towards dry, damaged hair.

Directions : After shampooing, apply to hair and comb through for even distribution. place a plastic cap over of the hair and sit under a warm dryer for 10 minutes or leave in the hair for 30 minutes without heat. Rinse thoroughly and dry hair.

I didn't comb though the conditioner, as when hair is wet its in its most fragile state, so I don't like to attempt de-tangling. I then put a conditioning cap on and sat under the dryer for 30-40 minutes to get a good deep condition. I rinsed it out with cold water so close the hair cuticle and lock in moisture.

Ingredients : aqua (water), polyquaternium-37, propylene glycol, dicaprylate/dicaprate, ppg-1 trideceth-6, hydrolyzed collagen, tridecyl stearate, neopentyl gylcol dicaprylate/dicaprate, tridecyl trimellitate, dimethicon peg-7 cocoate, musa sapientum (banana) fruit extract, dimethicone, behentrimonium methosulfate, catearyl alcohol, bambusa vulgaris (Bamboo) leaf/stem extract, panthenol, hydrolised wheat protien, lanolin oil, phenyl trimethicone, quaternium-80, hydroxyethylcellulose, disodium edta, dmdm hydantoin, methylcloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, parfum (fragrance), benzyl benzoate.

As you can see, it's not exactly a product that's all natural, which is commonly known to be best, but it has to be said that you need to listen to your hair, and if your hair responds well to it, why not? My hair loved this conditioner so much, my hair felt soft yet strong after using this. It was also noticeably easier to de-tangle. Would I say its better that the Organic Root Stimulator replenishing pack. No, the replenishing pack edges it out, I cant put my finger on why, but its just that little bit better. However I must say, HAIRepair nourishing conditioner is definitely second in my heart. A downside to it though is that as of yet, it doesn't come in a bottle, only in the 50.7 ml sachets (which I got two uses out of). Why why why? It's so inconvenient to keep buying sachets for around £1 a pop. (GET IT TOGETHER ORS). Whereas the replenishing pak comes in a bottle where its called the replenishing conditioner.

Hope that was helpful, any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment.

NOTD | First Attempt at Nail Art

Hey everyone :),
I picked up some nail art pens at the Britain and Ireland Next Top Model live show back in October (which by the way was amazing, Bluey Robinson performed.. Yum ;)). I've been so busy at university since then so I've only just given them a proper try, how does it look?


Bit of leopard print, thought I'd start off with something easy.
The base colour is called 'Fury' by 17 (available at boots in the UK).
The black colour is called 'Black Pearl' by LA Colours.

Skipping Summer..

Is anyone else noticing that summer is no longer where it should be? April, May and June are lovely and then summer is awful. So I'm treating myself and moving swiftly onto autumn (in a fashion sense at least) by snapping up some new bits for colder weather.


Jacket (link below)

Here's whats on its merry way to me.
Ive been lusting after the jacket for a while now, wanted one with silver hardware.. however I'm extremely impatient, I just cant be without a leather jacket any longer! Although if you have any suggestions I'd love you forever :).
Not sure if I'll keep the lot yet, we'll see, what do you guys think of them?

Zai Jian 再见 xo
