My Savour Hair Products

Hi, Yay I finally got my hair cut! It's been such a long time since I last got it done. In celebration I decided today I'd do a post featuring four products/items that I regularly use to help keep my hair looking at it's best. Getting into the habit of hair care has been a learning experience as I've grown my hair out of a pixie cut, from many years ago, back when I was lazy about looking after my hair. It's finally at a length I'm really happy with and now I'm trying to keep it looking healthy considering the amount of styling tools I use.



Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner - Luscious Long
This is the perfect product if your hair is feeling a little dry and in need a of moister boost. It's a really thick conditioner containing Eucalyptus extract and Avocado oil. I love to apply this when I'm having a bath and leave it on for a good hour. It makes my hair feel so soft and I think it makes those pesky split ends not look as bad. I only use this a couple of times a month so even though I cover all my hair it lasts ages.

Argan Oil Hair Treatment
I simply add two drops to the ends of my hair before blow drying and styling. It seems to be protecting the ends of my hair from major heat damage and leaves my hair super soft. I don't go anywhere near my roots with this though as it's quite greasy. This product isn't 100% Argan oil so I'll be seeking one out that is next time, just as a matter of preference.

Wide Tooth Comb
I keep meaning to pick up a tangle teaser but my wide tooth comb is so good for getting rid of all those pesky little knots after towel drying my hair. It glides though my hair with very little resistance and makes this process so much quicker. I got this one from the Bodyshop, it's well worth the money.

Batiste Dry Shampoo
I've been tempted in the past to try other brands versions of dry shampoo but they just don't seem to compare to Batiste. I don't use this product daily but I do use it when ever I don't have time to wash my hair and I always have some with me when I'm camping. I'm sure you all know what a dry shampoo does, I love how much cleaner my hair feels once the excess oils are sorted out. I'm not a fan of strong scents so I picked up 'cool & crisp fresh' which has a lovely clean scent, whatever that is.

Hair Care | Herbal Essence Clearly Naked Range

Hi, Today I'm talking hair care with the most basic of products shampoo and conditioner. I'd previously been using the Herbal Essence beautiful ends combo, which made a massive difference to the quality of my hair considering my over use of styling tools. I'm not really one to get swept away with new product releases but the Herbal Essence Clearly Naked range was just too interesting to ignore, back when it was actually a new product.


The range boasts 0% Silicone (shampoo only), 0% Paraben, 0% Colourants. The lack of these ingredients removes unnecessary extras which can leave residue on the hair. Coloured hair benefits from the lack of Paraben which would normally strip out colour. The removal of silicone from the shampoo keeps hair a lot lighter. The products claims to remove a build up of residue, but I think this is just down to the fact that this particular combo of products doesn't add to the problem and all other residue is removed naturally.

I've been using the moisture version of the naked range as I have pretty dry hair from all the heat styling I do (straighteners everyday). After using this product for a very long time I can say that my hair is super light and maybe even that bit shinier and very soft. I'd even go as far as to say it does a better job of protected the ends of my hair than the original combo I was using for this very reason, with the added bonus of my hair been a lot lighter. The shampoo cleans without striping the hair and the conditioner is more than satisfying with plenty of moisture. The moisture range is scented with a herbal mint scent, which is really subtle but very refreshing.

A 400ml bottle costs about £4 but I've never paid this, shop around and you'll find the range at half price or better. I wash my hair everyday (over the top I know) and a bottle will easily last 4 months on my long hair. Very little product is required to get a good lather, so a little goes a long way and this is also true of the conditioner which is super moisturizing. This shampoo and conditioner combo has kept my hair so clean and soft I don't see myself changing to something else any time soon and it's super affordable.

Have you tried the Herbal Essence Clearly Naked range?
