Busta Beauty Myth | Curly Hair Shouldn't Be Washed Frequently

For years now, the idea that wrong to wash curly hair too frequently has been knocking about. However it is just straight BS. This myth is born out of an element of truth. Constant hair washing, without putting nourishment back into the hair, will strip any hair of its natural moisture, leaving it dry and prone to damage. However curly hair is no different. As long as curly hair is kept moisturised, washing it frequently is absolutely fine. After all, regular cleansing is the key to hair and scalp health.

Review | NEOM Super Shower Power Shampoo & Conditioner

NEOM, one of my favourite wellness brands, recently expanded into the haircare market, with the launch of its Super Shower Power haircare range. I recently tried it and experienced surprising results.

Review | Vita Coco Scalp Range

This may come as a surprise to some, but Vita Coco, the famous coconut water company, has launched a haircare brand. There are three collections in new Vita Coco the range, one to nourish, one to repair, and one to treat the scalp.

Review | OGX Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo & Conditioner

I don't think there is a haircare brand on earth that seems to have as many collections as OGX. The brand seems to have, at one stage, included every technology, every scent, and every superfood imaginable in its haircare products and I'm here for it. The latest interesting ingredient to carry a OGX collection is apple cider vinegar.

Review: Redken Nature + Science All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner

Redken has combined the hair benefits provided by both nature and science to create a haircare range as natural as possible. Aptly named Nature + Science, the range is currently made up of three shampoos and three conditioners, one duo for colour treated hair, one for distressed hair, and one for dry and brittle hair. I've been trialing the All Soft duo, as I want my hair to shine for the Gods...

New Hair Heroes

2019 must be the year of haircare, as many new products and brands have launched in the last few months alone. I've been luckily enough to try some of these new launches and I wanted to share my favourites, starting with shampoos...

Review: Amika Normcore Signature Shampoo & Conditioner

Amika is an American haircare brand I've had my eye on for some time. I've heard amazing things about several of their products and admire the fact they keep products cruelty-free and free from sulfates, MIT, MCI, phthalates and artificial colors. I'm obsessed with the Perk Up Dry Shampoo (the only product I've tried from the brand) but really wanted to get up close and personal with a shampoo and conditioner. After all, it's my believe that a shampoo and conditioner is the ultimate test for a haircare brand. If they can't get the cleansers right, they're not worth f'ing with! I recently acquired the Amika Normcore Signature Shampoo and Conditioner and I'm falling hard...

Review: Bumble & bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Cleansing Oil Creme Duo

Bumble & bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Cleansing Oil Creme Duo is a product I couldn't wait to review. It promises to gently remove dirt from the hair, whilst injecting it with moisture at the same time - ideal for my dry and dull ends.

Weekly Worship: Sachajuan Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner

I hate washing my hair. Not because I'm a dirty bitch but because the dirtier & more loaded with dry shampoo my hair is, the thicker and better it looks. As you probably know by now, I have fine hair and it is at it's finest when freshly washed. I've tried using thickening shampoos and conditioners in the past, however I've never seen any benefits...until I discovered the Sachajuan Volume Shampoo & Conditioner...

Holiday Hair Heroes

Summer is here and I'm sure most of you lucky bitches are heading off on holiday to relax, sunbathe and slay. Sadly though, all that sun, sea and sand you're bouncing to is going to cause damage to your locks. I'm talking split ends, tangles and dryness...and that's just a few issues.

Luckily the hair industry has us covered with a variety of products that will not only protect our hair from holiday hazards, but help repair the damage caused. For me, one of the best brand's treating summer hair damage is Aussie and if you're looking to help your hair post-holiday, you need to get acquainted with the cult brand's Beach Mate collection...

Pure Care Dry Oil is the perfect range for those with coarse, dry and lifeless locks. The range took six years of research to create and it was clearly worth it; the Pure Care Dry Oil products make hair silkier, softer and shinier.

Weekly Worship: Organix Biotin and Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner

Price: £6.99 / $5.74 385ml

Stockist: Boots / Walmart

This week's worship is going to two recently discovered hair heroes, Organix Biotin and Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner. They promise to provide thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair and, for the most part, I would agree.

I have disgustingly fine hair and find that using this shampoo and conditioner together makes my hair soft, bouncy and full of volume. Unlike other volumizing hair products, these two don't dry out my hair, which is a big bonus.

The Biotin and Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner don't seem to make my hair that much thicker, however the volume they provide is pretty amazing - especially considering the affordable price tag!
