Hair Care

L-R Aussie Hair Insurance leave in conditioner, Twisted Sista Different Strokes Serum, Moroccanoil, TRESemme Split Remedy Serum, Disney Tangled De-tangler spray




So I wanted to share with you the products I'm currently using on my hair, as they're all relatively recent purchases.

1. Aussie Leave in conditioner

Few quick squirts on damp hair and it leaves it silky soft all day. It has a lovely almost candy sweet scent to it which I quite like. I find my hair is just more manageable if I include this in my routine.

2. Twisted Sista Different Strokes Serum

I actually won this on Twitter just as my Tigi BedHead one ran out. One little pump does help with the Frizz, but I have to be very careful with how much I use. Go a little overboard and I end up greasy looking. I will use it up, but it's so not as good as my beloved BedHead Control Freak.

3. Moroccanoil

After reading countless reviews I knew my hair needed this! It's very dry and lacking in any type of moisture and this little gem helps bring some well needed hydration and shine to my hair. I rub a little on the ends of my heir when still wet and I a little more once dry. Do be careful if your hair has s tendency to go greasy quick, with just how much you use. Better to use a little at first and see how you get on.

4. TRESemme Split End Remedy

I'm not sure if this actually repairs any of my split ends but what I do know is that along with everything else I use it perks up the whole condition of my hair, in particular the ends so it must be doing something. Once again a little goes a long way!

5. Disney Tangled De-Tangled

Well this was actually purchased for my step-daughter who has terrible knotty hair. But as I'm a big kid I've ended up using it as well. It actually works really well as a de-tangler and also a leave in conditioner. It's great to use it the morning to stop me damaging my hair.

It seems as though I use a lot, but once I've applied these I don't use any other products on my hair. They all yelp fight the ongoing dryness battle

Leeds and London Aussie Bloggers Markets

Ok before I start I'll warn you in advance that this is a picture heavy post :)

So this weekend and last Aussie hosted a bloggers market in Leeds and London. Luckily I'm up in the North and K is down South so we both got to attend without either one of us having to fork out a fortune in travel costs!

Leeds

So firstly last weekend I went off to Leeds with the Giddy Princess, which as she put it was a treat anyway. We haven't seen each other for months! now my camera was playing up on the day, so definitely head on over to her gorgeous blog and have a look at some of the pics of the day.

It was such a fun day and we got the chance to meet up with a few other lovely girlies too - Jen, Liloo, Lily and Emily.

You had the opportunity to have your hair done by the lovely stylists from the various Aussie Tribes (I had a glamorous 40's Hollywood hair do, done by the lovely stylist at the Frizz Miracle Tribe), drink some mulled wine, full up at the Aussie BBQ, get flirting tips from the flirt coach and learn catwalk. At the end of the day we had a visit to the Sexy Santa and were given some lovely Aussie goodies to take home.

Oh and just to make the day even better they had a photo booth - AMAZING!, we had so much fun, although clearly our first go was AWFUL.......

it got better though

I absolutely loved my hair, it ended up working so well with the earrings and top I'd wore as well. Perfect!

I loved my hair that much, that I'm now really considering this for my wedding hair for the 4th June 2011. I think it would look perfect with my dress and whole vintage tea party theme I'm going with.

I was even shown have to change it into a stunning messy up do for later on in the night.....

LOVED it!

London

So this weekend K went off to London with her sister in law Jo.

Once again Aussie put on a great list of talks from Flirting to Photographer. They also did an Aussie BBQ again and had the mulled wine flowing.

The Aussie also ran stales show cases their different skills from baking to makeup.

How awesome is the giant cupcake....

Mmmm mulled wine...

So once again you had the opportunity to have your hair done by the lovely Aussie stylists.

K went to the Frizz Miracle after my recommendation from the week before and got a gorgeous up do..

and Jo went off to the Volume tribe.....

and of course they had the photo booth again

K and Jo also made good use of the props.....

So we had a great time and felt really lucky to get invited as it was the first event that we both had the opportunity to attend.

So thanks again to Aussie for the invite and the Aussie angels for their hard work.
