Percy & Reed Hair Care

So a lot of you will know that the Percy and Reed Hair Care Range was available as a Free Gift with last months Glamour magazine. Now I know this is a late review, however the products are now available to purchase form ASOS, which is fab!

Now the range is created by Paul Percival and Adam Reed of the glamorous salon Percy and Reed. With Glamour, you were able to try out the Splendidly Silky Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner, the Totally TLC Hydrating Mask and the Quite Frankly Flawless Finishing Polish. For just £2.00 each I purchase four lots of the magazine to give the range.

Totally TLC Hydrating Mask

Now this is lovely. Not only does it smell great, it leaves your hair silky soft. Just follow the instructions and leave on your hair for around 5mins – the instructions recommend that you wrap your hair up in a warm towel once it’s on giving the product a warmer temperature to work it’s wonder on your hair.

Now I have very dry, frizzy hair so this is a definite treat for me.

Quite Frankly Flawless Finishing Polish

Like I said above my hair is amazingly frizzy and dry so I always have a lot of products on hand to help with this. I tend to use TiGi Bed Head Control Freak Serum followed by the TiGI Bed Head After Party – they’re not the cheapest thing out there but it works for me. Now I like this, it smoothes out the ends of my hair after I’ve straightened it without leaving a greasy feel and that horrible sort of finish where you can feel the product there. Lovely product thats become a regular fixture instead of my After Party.

Splendidly Silky Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner

Now I was looking forward to trying these out, but I have to say I was disappointed. These didn’t do anything for my hair. If anything it was drier than after using my usual shampoo and the shampoo itself seem to irritate my scalp and I had to stop using it. I do have a sensitive scalp but it’s usually flared up by products and hair dye – not usually shampoo! It was that bad that I had to start using Neutrogena’s T/Gel for sensitive scalps to calm it down. The conditioner is nice but nothing amazing if your hair is very dry, given that it retails for £16.00. Now as these were just free with Glamour I don’t know if I just got a bad one. Anyway I was disappointed and it was such a shame as I love the mask and finishing polish.

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
