  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have recently being trying out the The Corrector Drops* in Brunette which banishes orange tones in brown hair which is a useful product for me as I colour my hair on a regular basis and do find that my hair can get orange tones the longer I go between my visits to the hairdresser.  This product is a unique pigment concentrate which can be added to your usual haircare products.   You can customise the level of pigment to suit your shade.  Just add 3 - 5 drops in both your shampoo and conditioner for maintenance, or 6 - 8 drops in your conditioner or hair mask for deep toning.  Make sure its mixed well in a tub or bowl or if using hands make sure you are wearing gloves as it may stain your hands and then apply to towel dried hair. Leave for 5 minutes and then rinse well. If you require more intense toning then you can leave it on for 15 minutes. This is a great product that  helps tone do...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I'm a big fan of The Hair Boss range and have tried out a number of the products so when I was sent The Hair Boss The Scalp Scrub* I couldn't wait to try it out.  The Scalp Scrub* is a pre-shampoo scrub which removes build up from your scalp and hairline.  It helps to reduce dandruff, stimulates hair follicles and helps to improve scalp health.  I must admit that I haven't tried out this type of product before, but I do get an itchy scalp with all the buildup so its a perfect product for me as its an exfoliator which helps to remove dirt and oil from the hair follicle leaving the scalp free from the buildup of styling products. You can use this product weekly and start by sectioning damp hair with fingers so you can see the scalp and just squeeze a small amount of product onto your fingers and gently massage into your scalp.  Then just repeat until your scalp is fully covered and make sure you includ...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have tried quite a few products from The Hair Boss by Lisa Shepherd range now and been impressed with all of them. The Heat Protection Hairspray* is no exception.  I have curly hair, but I like to straighten it, so heat protection products are important to me. This one is a great combo of a hairspray and heat protection, so it provides hold as well as protecting your hair when using heated tools The Heat Protection Hairspray contains heat protection for up to 230ºC. This hairspray can be used to spray onto dry hair prior to using heated tools and you can also use it after styling your hair for a flexible hold. This has a nice spray which is not too heavy or light and is easy to direct and it does not leave your hair feeling crispy or stiff.  The Hair Boss The Heat Protection Hairspray costs £8.99 for 200ml from Superdrug  or direct from The Hair Boss website . You can read more about the brand here.   L...

     *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent a couple of products from The Hair Boss to review.  I'm a big fan of this range so I couldn't wait to try them out. The Hair Boss Detox Foam* helps to remove build-up from pollution, chemicals and also other products you use on your hair.  It leaves hair fresh, voluminous and clean.  When I'm on holiday I love to swim and also having frizzy curly hair myself and applying lots of different products to try and control my curls, this is the perfect product for me.  I do find that my hair does get dull and heavy after a while and as I don't like to wash my hair every day, this is a product I couldn't wait to try out.    All you need to do is pump the product onto wet or dry hair and massage through to ensure even coverage.  Leave on for up to 10 minutes and then rinse.  Follow with your usual shampoo routine.  Couldn't be simpler.   A ...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I'm a big fan of The Hair Boss and have tried a few of the products already and really liked them. The brand is developed and manufactured in the UK, by Lisa Shepherd who has been in the hair industry for over 30 years. I was kindly sent the  The Clear Shine Gloss * to try out which is a semi-permanent treatment that helps to revitalise all hair colours without changing the tone. It helps to transform dull lack-lustre locks and works by smoothing the cuticle of the hair.  As someone with curly hair that regularly straightens it, I cannot tell you how much my hair needs a product like this. It definitely helped to give my hair a just out of the salon shine.   You wash your hair as normal and remove any excess water and then apply a generous amount of The Clear Shine Gloss, ensuring your hair is saturated. Massage it through your hair and leave it on for 20 minutes, rinse and then follow with The Condition...

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent The Colour Enhancing Gloss & The Corrector Drops by the Hair Boss* to try out. I have already tried out some of the other products from this brand which I loved and you can read my reviews  here  and here . I was excited to try these products as I do colour my hair regularly.  The Colour Enhancing Gloss is semi-permanent and lasts up to 6 washes. The Gloss was Golden Balayage and it enhances beachy blonde tones. It is a treatment that adds soft, sun kissed colour whilst adding salon shine. The formula deposits a subtle colour while smoothing the cuticle of the hair and they recommend following this treatment with The Conditioning Milk (now renamed Conditioning Lotion - a sachet in included in the box) to seal in the shine and add moisture. To use this product, you simply shampoo your hair as normal and then after removing excess water, apply a generous amount of the Gloss, ensuring...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent The Detangling Mist by the Hair Boss* to try out. I have already tried out some of the other products from this brand which I loved and you can read my review here . Targeted to fix frizzy and damaged hair, its designed to strengthen and smooth strands as well as protect your hair by preventing breakages and deterring split ends. You use it on towel dried hair spraying it on the mid lengths and ends and then blow dry or air dry as normal.  It can also be used on dry hair to tame stray hairs.  Its like this product has been designed especially for me as I have dry, frizzy, unmanageable curly hair.  I use this product every morning on damp hair and it detangles my hair so that I can brush it without my brush tangling in any knots.  It really makes such a difference to my morning routine as I'm not struggling to brush out the knots in my hair.  I don't wash my hair every day as i...
