AD - GIFTED | Next up in my haircare week is a product from KMS California, a brand I had never heard of, so I was very excited to receive it and try it out. So one morning, I received a lovely little package from lookfantastic/hqhair, where I was kindly gifted the Polishing Serum* and another haircare product which I shall feature in the next few days.

So as I said before, I had never used anything from this brand, so I done my research on the product and this is something that I have been including in my haircare routine since I received it, and have really been pleased with the results. This Polishing Serum provides hair with more shine and improved softness and silky texture. As well as all-day frizz control and heat protection, this is definitely a great multi use hair serum.

I use this serum after washing my hair, and also on dry hair, focusing on my ends and lengths if they are feeling a little dry and looking frizzy, this stuff sorts that right out! Since using this on a weekly basis, I have definitely noticed a difference in the appearance of my hair, it looks much more shiny and healthy, and feels a lot sleeker and softer, as well as a reduction in visible split ends! A definite favourite for me at the moment!

Have you tried anything from KMS California before? Have you used the Polishing Serum? What hair serums do you use?

When Boots had there lovely 3 for 2 deal on a while ago, I needed a third product to pick up and didn't really know what I wanted, so this was a bit of a random purchase. With the release of the Fibrology range from L'Oréal, a range of products that claim to help thicken hair due to it's Filloxane technology. The Double serum ended up in my bag to test out and see what it was all about.

"A breakthrough in the science of hair, L'Oréal Laboratories have created L'Oréal Elvive Fibrology Thickness Creation Double Creation, proven to give long-lasting thickness wash after wash. Hair looks & feels thicker, with body & bounce."

Even as a lover of haircare products, I've never used hair serums before, so this was all new to me. The Double Serum is made up of two properties, a thickening serum which penetrates  and thickens the hair fibre and a perfecting serum which helps to smooth out the surface of the hair. When pressing the pump at the top of the bottle, these serums dispense together and then I apply them to the lengths of my hair, avoiding the roots, once towel dry.

I've been using this serum for a good few months now, and even though it started off quite slowly, I definitely have seen a difference in the thickness and feel of my hair, and I am genuinely pleased with the results I have seen. My hair feels much thicker and smoother, and just feels in such better condition, those with long hair will feel my pain with how hard it is to make sure your hair is always looking good! 

As this is the only product I have tried from the range, I can't comment on how my hair would be if I combined all the products from the range to see how my hair would be like after use, but I am very happy with the serum, so I would definitely try out some of the other products in the Fibrology range.

AD - GIFTED | After winning a Twitter competition recently, my goodies were this AreaH20 Duo Haircare Pack*, containing a hard water shampoo and conditioner made for normal/fine hair. If you haven't heard of Area H20 before, they are an effective and highly research brand whose haircare products are something that works with the water type in your hair, which in time helps to create cleaner and more manageable hair for you.

"Area H2O Hard Water Shampoo (250ml) and Conditioner (200ml) Duo is revolutionary. Scientifically formulated by biochemists it works to combat the effects of mineral deposits on hair in hard water areas.

Water is categorised into three types, Hard, Medium and Soft. The more minerals water contains the 'harder' it becomes. As water becomes 'harder' it also becomes more damaging for our hair as it binds tiny limescale molecules to the lengths, soft water however can cause hair to become slippery and unmanageable. 

Different water types affect hair in different ways. Area H20 Hard Water Shampoo – Normal Hair (250ml) is designed to act as a magnet, attracting mineral ions, allowing you to wash them away easily. This means your hair will look and feel noticeably cleaner, smoother and shinier."

After identifying your water type and receiving the correct products, these cleanse the hair of any nasty toxins and help to improve the condition of your hair, which is great! After using these for the first time, the very next day after they arrived, I was amazed with the results. My hair felt so light and bouncy, looked super sleek and soft and just felt really well cleansed. I was pleasantly surprised!

Have you heard of Area H20 before? Would this be something you would be interested in trying?

I don't know about you, but whenever I take a trip into town to do some shopping, I always find myself in Poundland, as I have been made aware of so many beauty must haves, and for just £1, they need to be tested out! 

On my latest trip, I picked up this little gem, Argan Oil Heat Defence Spray with Moroccan Oil Extract. As a lover of all things haircare, this was something I was super happy to try out and see how it compared to my beloved TRESemme Heat Defence which I have been using for years, and so far I am impressed as this to me is just as good.

With having long hair, I do my best to keep it in the best condition and looking healthy, so I have used so many hair products in the past that I know what works well for me, and this heat defence is something that I have really been loving. I simply spritz this evenly through towel dried hair before blow drying and straightening and I know my hair will be protected. The spray pump makes this so easy to apply and makes sure you get all your hair covered. 

It has a special formula that helps prevent damage and breakage from using heat tools which is a must have for me, plus the added oil helps to leave your hair feeling silky and soft, and if definitely does that! The only thing that I am a bit love/hate with is the smell, it is slightly strong but not too overpowering, just smells like a salon shampoo.

So if you find yourself browsing Poundland any times soon, I would definitely recommend checking out the beauty aisles as you never know what gems you will come across. If you're looking for a new heat defence, then I would definitely tell you all to go and grab a bottle of this, as for only a quid, IT WORKS!

Have you used this heat defence spray before? Have you picked up any bargains in Poundland recently?

AD - GIFTED | A while back I was contacted on Twitter with the opportunity to review some haircare products from Richard Ward, a celebrity hairdresser with a new range of innovative hair care – The Chelsea Collection – exclusively at Waitrose. So as a lover of all things haircare, I jumped at the chance of this; as anything with keratin is great for the hair and something that promises volume is a win win for me!

I always mix up my haircare routine, as I feel using the same products isn't too great for your hair as the product builds up and your hair will get used to the products, therefore each wash you wont get the desired effect. Alongside my Aussie products, I was using these Richard Ward products and I was very happy with the results that I got from these.

Both the keratin volume shampoo* and conditioner* smell very lovely, really fruity and floral, not too overpowering like some salon products can be. The shampoo lathers up really well and really makes your hair feel clean after the very first wash. The conditioner on the other hand was slightly weird, not in a bad way, just a very strange consistency that I found quite difficult to squeeze out the bottle. However, once applied to the hair and rinsed out, my hair was left looking shiny and silky and feeling light and bouncy.

Overall, after using these two products for a couple of months now, I am really impressed with how they work for my hair and how my hair looks after using them. My hair is left feeling super clean, bouncy, healthy and slightly volumized, which is something I always look for when using haircare products! So if you're looking to try out some new haircare, I would definitely recommend these!

Have you tried any haircare by Richard Ward? What are your current favourite hair products?
