Current Hair Care Routine

For Reference: my hair is mid back length | thick | wavy/curly | slightly frizzy | oily roots | dry midlengths/ends | coloured all over (L'oreal Diacolor) | a few blonde flashes (bleach) through the under sections.

I first started having my hair highlighted with a highlighting cap when I was around 11 and stayed blonde untill I was 20/21. Those highlighting caps are the devil! They could be used in the SAW films. Since then my hair has been mostly dark but working in a salon meant I was adding different colours every other week. I cant think of one colour I havent had in my hair but for the last 3 years my hair has been dark brown untill recently when I added some flashes. I think its safe to say my hair has taken one helluva hammering.

If I've reviewed the products I'll leave links to the reviews.

Shampoo

Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo: With using hair oil I need a shampoo to remove every trace of build up. This does just that! My hair is left feeling so clean and it doesnt irritate my sensitive scalp as its SLS free. (link)

Jason Smoothing Sea Kelp Shampoo*: Another SLS free shampoo. Adds more moisture than Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo but still leaves my hair feeling clean. (link)

Louise Galvin Nourishing Shampoo For Dry/Damaged Hair*: This is also SLS free so its perfect for anyone with a sensitive scalp. If you have a dry/itchy scalp try an SLS free shampoo instead of anti dandruff. They work so much better! (link)

Conditioner

Jason Smoothing Sea Kelp Conditioner*: Conditions the hair really well but without leaving it flat. I would say any hair type could get away with using this conditioner. (link)

Louise Galvin Nourishing Conditioner For Dry/Damaged Hair*: Same as above. (link)

Evolve Organic Beauty Protein Build Conditioner*: This smells good enough to eat. Its like cupcakes! My hair feels a lot stronger when I use this but it doesnt detangle my hair as well as my other conditioners do so depending on how my hairs feeling I maybe follow with a tiny amount of one of the above conditioners. (link)

Ojon Ultra Hydrating Conditioner: It conditions the hair well but really weighs it down. I've had this bottle for almost 2 years now so I'm just trying to use it up before it goes out of date but I wont repurchase. For me Ojon just doesnt live upto the hype or pricetag.

Weekly or monthly Treatments/Masks

Perfectly Pure Coconut Oil: Once a month I apply this all over my hair, leave on over night then shampoo out in the morning. The oil is solid but melts with the heat of your hands and smells like bounty. :) I got my pot from Holland & Barrett last year and its still going strong.

Louise Galvin Deep Conditioning Treatment*: Once a week I use this beauty and am always amazed at how well it works. You leave it on the hair for 10 minutes then rinse. It detangles every strand of hair and rinses out so easily. (link)

Revlon Professional Nutri Color Creme*: Once a month I use this in the shower as a colour boost. It only needs to be left on the hair for 3 minutes and adds the most amazing shine. I doubt you'll ever find anything that makes your hair feel/look as healthy. (link)

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment: I dont use this as often as I should because the smell is just too much for me and I'm never amazed by the results. To be honest I'm just trying to use this up now. I've had it for years but wouldnt repurchase.

Hair Oil

Moroccon Oil: I cant not mention Moroccon Oil, its been my main man for the last few years but I'm now at the end of my bottle.

Orofluido Sahara Hair Protection*: This is a dry oil spray and feels so light. It can be used on damp or dry hair. Helps to smooth frizz and protects the hair from extreme heat. (link)

That looks like a lot doesnt it! eesh. I switch up my shampoo/conditioner from week to week, same with the hair treatments and I never use more than one type of oil on my hair at one time. My Tangle Teezer is also a HUGE part of my hair care routine. I would honestly be lost without it and more than likely bald by now.

Do you use any of these products?

A Bit Of A Hair Hero: Revlon Professional Nutri Color Creme


Revlon Professional Nutri Color Cream in shade 513 Deep Chestnut*

New from Revlon is Nutri Color Creme - a treatment colour range available in 11 shades to revive coloured hair that has faded or lost its vibrancy. Nutri Color Cream wont work on virgin hair, it needs to be used on coloured hair but dont worry its not a 'dye' and isnt going to completely change your hair colour. The creme uses an exclusive 3 in 1 formula that combines colour, softness and shine.The colour immediately takes effect by using ionic concentrated pigments. The best part? It only takes 3 minutes.

The creme is packed full of AHA fruit acids to enrich your hairs natural moisture without a heavy conditioning effect. It smells fantastic (reminds me of Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel) and the sent stays on the hair once dry. The shine it adds to the hair is like nothing else. It smooths each and every strand of hair making it look in brilliant condition, even when it isnt ;) Nutri Creme claims to brighten, revive, accentuate, neutralize and correct tones. I can confirm it actually lives upto its claims.

How to apply:
Shampoo hair as normal (skip conditioner) then apply Nutri Color Creme and rinse after 3 minutes

Its so simple to use and because its not a dye you dont have to worry about missing any random bits of hair. After rinsing my hair was so, so soft and tangle free then once dry my colour just looked 10x better but without looking dyed. I used it over my highlights too (I only have a few scattered through my hair) and it helped tone down the brassy look.

If you cant get to a salon as often as you'd like then Nutri Color Creme would be perfect for you. It'd be great to use just before a night out aswell as its so quick to use and improves the overall look of your hair. I received a 100ml tube but its available in various sizes. My hair is very long (mid back length) but I'll get 4 uses from the 100ml tube.

A huge thank you to Catalyst PR for introducing me to this beauty!

Revlon Professional Nutri Color Creme 100ml £10 available from various online stockist (I found it on FragranceDirect 250ml £11.99)
