Drugstore Product of the day!

Okay we hear this question all the time. How do i make my hair grow?

Yes we did do an entire post about it last month but lots of browsing of the internet and i came across tons & tons of reviews on this product. 

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Shampoo and Conditioner are available at Boots for £6.99 each.

So if your dreaming of Kim Kardashian's flowing locks or you just want to fix that bob that went wrong this product is definitely worth a look over. 

How it works - The clever formulas contain Pro-Growth complex which strengths the hair by fertilizing the follicles and stimulating blood flow to the root. Clever indeed.

Thanks to ingredients such as Apple and Lemon Extracts it also gives your hair shine, whilst anti-oxidant Green Tea Extract helps protect your hair from environmental and heat damage from both the sun and styling tools. Win - Win situation ladies.

 “Apply shampoo to wet hair, massage into a lather and rinse well. Next, take my best selling Hair Growth Treatment and apply an egg sized amount and leave for 5 minutes before rinsing. Finish with the conditioner, rubbing into the palms of your hands and distributing evenly through your hair. Rinse thoroughly and see the difference after just one wash.” Lee strafford

Thank you Lee from now on call me Rapunzel girls. *Wink*

Outfit Of The Day.. Ft The Sale & Shopping!

Hey everyone! Thanks to all the girls who have been messaging me and keeping me updated on all the latest sales. Me & Sumaiya decided to pop into town today. Well i was in bed and she came and dragged me out to go shopping and forced me to get ready in 10 minutes flat. My hayfever was going insane. Which resulted in us with no makeup on and hair in a scruffy bun shopping for bargains. Cause that is how we roll *wink* We then came home and got changed into a more presentable state. Here is what our outfit of the day is.

Hair: This took literally 10 minutes after Sumiya stole all my grip pins. I just put it all back. She also forced me to add this trick of the day as she was fascinated by it. When you use your grip pins and they are all wide and come apart and you think you can't use them anymore. Bite the grip pin to make them go back to their normal shape and come together again so they are usable again. I honestly didn't think it was a tip worth putting on the Blog but Sumaiya insisted. She said she usually goes and buys loads of new ones. Well you can Sumaiya as you have stolen mine *smiley face*

Pump up the Volume! : Hair

Heyyyyy dolls!!! Okay so if you know us personally you will know that we are BIG on BIG hair!!! We love it! We always get questions on how to get BIG SEXY hair full of body. So here are the TRESS-TRANFORMING tips. 

Be careful when you cleanse : Girls you're going to be like DUHHH but using volumizing conditioner and shampoo (even if you have curly hair) can make a big difference. Apply conditioner only to ends. These products are formulated so that they don't weigh your hair down
Try: Dove Extra Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

Give your roots a boost: Apply a root lifting product before blowing dry, from half way through the hair shaft to the root of your hair - unless your hair is fine, in which case you should aim for the base of your roots only.
Try: Aveda Volumizing Tonic

A better blow-dry: For maximum OOOMPH!! Lift sections of hair toward the sky as you blow-dry (I'm a poet and i didn't even know it) directing hot air toward your scalp. This "cooks" the roots and dries them in an upright and lifted position. Oh god that doesnt sound pretty! But it's nothing compared to the rest of the ugly stuff us women go through to make ourselves beautiful so i'm sure you'll be fine. We promise we won't tell the men our secrets either ;) Yes we wakeup looking this glamorous! 

Upside-down is not a do: This one i hear about all the time. Everyone assumes flipping the hair over and blow drying adds volume. That personally does nothing for me. Flipping your head over to blow-dry gives your hair width (think Frankenstein Bride) 

Back Brush (The new Back comb): Instead of teasing your tresses with a comb (a surefire way to get volume, even if your hair is as flat as a 5 year old's chest), use a flat-backed brush, which will damage your hair less since the bristles are spaced apart more widely. Yes me and Sumaiya go Back comb crazy! We can't go a day without back combing. Even if its a casual trainers and hoody day. We back comb and add volume to that "lazy day hair do" Its a must" 

MIST hairspray!: The ultimate volume slayer: heavy hairspray. If you must use a finishing product, we recommend spritzing it into the air and walking through the poisonous cloud of hair spray. OR if you value your life and don't want to be gassed to death, spray the hair spray from a distance and let it fall onto your head gently. DO NOT over do it. Remember you want to be the cause of turning heads not the cause of the holes in the ozone layer!
Try: My ultimate fave hair spray is TRESemme! It smells nice and it gives the perfect hold. Also it actually is the 1st hair spray that you dont need a gas mask to use. I went to superdrug yesterday and they didnt have my beloved TRESemme and i had to buy Loreal Elnett! I expected it to be good seeing as though half the world uses it. I swear i nearly choked to death and died. 

Buy this from Superdrug, boots, bodycare, Asda etc

Exaggerate your ends: If your hair is curly or wavy, you tend to have body at your roots and straggly ends. For balance, blow-dry hair straight first, then add body back in using a curling iron or rollers from midshaft down. 

Okay thats all for today. Yes i know i usually post like 3 posts a day at unearthly hours of the day. BUT i got side tracked today! You lot probably thought i was abducted by aliens but i am still here well and breathing (despite my near death experience with the hair spray) Yes i think you've all gathered it's not just my hair i exaggerate ;)

Until next time dolls!

How to make hair grow D.I.Y!!!

Hi Dolls!!!!
Okay now this is a question that I get asked ALL the time!!! "my hair wont grow" "im loosing alot of hair what should I do?"

Now I am not a hair dresser however I can share my tips with you that help my hair stay healthy, strong and grow at the same time.

There's no scientifically proven way to make your hair grow faster. But, there is a lot of research on what causes hair loss. And the less hair you lose, the more hair you have growing to your length of choice, right? While some of the causes of hair loss can't be helped, there are several things you can do to encourage your hair grow to its full potential.




Rapunzel showing how its done :)



1.Scalp Massage

Regular scalp massages are highly beneficial in growing hair faster naturally.
Hot oil treatment, in particular promotes proper circulation required to stimulate the scalp. You just need to gently rub your fingers through the scalp in circular motion for a few minutes.
D.I.Y-ever since ive been a child I have used this trick I do it once a week: Take coconut oil  (as this provides necessary nourishment to the scalp) heat it in microwave for about 30 seconds and massage it into the scalp the longer you leave it the better I would recommend atleast 30 mins.

2.Remove scalp residue
Reduce scalp residue as it clogs hair follicles and hinder faster hair growth.
D.I.Y- Take equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water and rinse it through the hair as this removes scalp residue and dead skin.

3.Flip your hair upside down
D.I.Y-Flip your head over for about 2-4 minutes daily. This may sound weird but it tends to stimulate hair follicles by reversing the flow of blood.

4.Moisture is the key to healthier and hence faster hair growth
When using conditioners to avoid tangles and provide moisture, apply the product only on the lower half of your hair, particularly focusing on the dry ends and carefully avoiding the scalp.
In addition, do not shampoo your hair too often and do not try to brush wet hair when striving for faster hair growth to get long hair. It is better to comb semi-moist hair with the help of a wide teethed comb.
This can be found in boots for as little as 99p I use Aussie luscious long hair shampoo and conditioner £3.67 at boots.

Hair packs
D.I.Y-Prepare a homemade hair mask to accelerate hair growth by mixing a tablespoon of honey in one egg yolk. Apply this hair pack on the scalp and leave it for about half an hour. Finally, rinse your hair with mildly lukewarm water to remove the sticky mixture. Follow this procedure at least once every week.

A simpler way would be to rinse hair with rose water.

Final rinse
This little tip goes A LONG WAY always wash your hair with cold or at most lukewarm water, not hot water. Cold water also increases shine in hair.

Stress increases the risk of hair loss
Avoiding stress and getting sufficient sleep can make your hair grow faster and longer. It has been observed that factors like stress, depression and sleep deprivation actually contribute in hair loss.
On the other hand, deep breathing, exercising and proper sleep  promote growth of hair.

What Food to eat
Willing to give up unhealthy diet but wondering what food helps your hair grow faster? As hair is primarily made up of protein, you can very well understand the importance of consuming protein rich foods in making hair grow fast naturally.Some such protein rich foods for hair growth are soy products, beans, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, yogurt, whole grains, seeds and nuts.
Moreover, fresh green vegetables, like spinach, lettuce, lentils, broccoli and legumes are valuable in making hair fuller and thicker.

So dolls theres a great excuse for having your 5 a day ;)

My STAR product which REALLY kick started my hair growth was the LUSH cinnamon shampoo bar
£5.00 for 55grams

This product comes in the form of a solid shampoo bar and has the simple and straightforward name of New! It is designed to stimulate your scalp in order to promote the growth of new and healthy hairs. It has been specifically created for those who are losing hair due to hormonal factors such as stress.

The bar is fairly small and circular in shape but don't be deceived by its size because it is very long lasting. The bar is a reddish colour with some cinnamon sticks used to decorate it.AMAZING!



Let me know what you think!! D.I.Y tutorials coming soon..
