As a person who has dry, frizzy, curly hair I love the JVN Hair Care Range.  The JVN Complete Nourishing Shine Drops are infused with meadowfoam ester, hibiscus extract, and squalane, making your hair shiny and protected from damage, humidity, and colour fading. One of the standout features is the lightweight formula that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It effectively tames frizz and flyaways, leaving your hair smooth and manageable. Plus, the subtle fragrance with notes of honey, florals, grapefruit, and tangerine makes the application a pleasant experience. I love the natural-looking shine these drops provide and my hair feels healthier and more vibrant with just a small amount of the product. It costs £23 for 50ml which is a lot but the benefits are worth it. The JVN Complete Nourishing Shine Drops are a fantastic addition to my hair care routine, delivering lightweight shine and effective frizz control.  Another of my favourite JVN products is the JVN Co...

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I am a big fan of BondiBoost Hair products so when I was kindly sent a couple of hair masks I couldn't wait to try them out.  As someone who has dry, frizzy, curly hair that's not as thick as it used to be I need any help I can get with my hair.     BondiBoost Miracle Mask* costs £27.99 and is available from sephora.co.uk . Its a weekly treatment mask which includes nutritious oils including Argan Oil (a potent natural moisturiser), Abyssinian Oil (intensely hydrating), Macadamia (strengthening), Castor Oil (gold standard of hair oils) and Jojoba Oil (fights frizz).  Its suitable for thinning hair types supporting the appearance of thicker, fuller and healthier hair and doesn't leave the hair feeling heavy or oily.  As someone who has reached a stage in life where my hair is not as thick as it used to be this is a great product to use in the bath after shampooing and just lie back and relax le...

I am really enjoying using the JVN Conditioning Mist. I have dry, curly, frizzy hair that I straighten quite a lot and this mist really helps to keep my hair hydrated and soft. It can be used on wet or dry hair and provides heat protection, whilst preventing tangles and keeping the frizz at bay. Its vegan friendly and silicone free. It also contains hyaluronic acid. I have tried a few products from the JVN range (created by Jonathan Van Ness) and I have loved them all. I really like the Air Dry Cream and the Nourishing Shine Drops as well. The JVN Conditioning Mist costs £10 for the 60ml travel size and £20 for the 147ml full size version from SpaceNK .   Leigh 💜 I purchased this product with my own money

I went to an event at Harvey Nichols in Leeds and happened upon a brand that I have never heard of before.   We Are Paradox is an Irish haircare brand and the CEO Yolanda Cooper founded the company when she realised that her bathroom shelf was filled with natural, organic makeup, skincare and bodycare, but the haircare side of things was sadly lacking. The Paradox products are natural, organic, rich in powerful extracts and free of toxic ingredients. Inspiration is taken from Ireland and ingredients include seaweed, moss, shamrock, whisky, hops and cider.  I was slightly worried that my hair would smell like a brewery, but luckily that's not the case. This company cares for the environment and they use as little plastic as possible and instead use aluminium packaging.  It is a company with a conscience and donates 1% of it's sales every year to non profit organisations which are caring for the environment in order to protect our future.  They are also cru...
