Hair Routine

I do believe that I've done one of these before but I thought it'd be nice to show you an updated version of what I use to keep my hair in good condition. So firstly, my hair type is oily, long and flat. Sounds horrible don't it? Except for the long part I guess. It's an absolute nightmare trying to keep my hair volumised and looking fresh but I've found a routine that works for me. Also, I'll add that I wash my hair daily - I know this is what could be making my hair greasy however I just cannot imagine the state my hair would be in if I let it go unwashed for a few days - yuck!

This is what's featured on my 'hair care shelf.' I'm sorry that it's pretty dark - I have no idea why! If there's anything you'd like to know more information about, please do let me know :D

L-R Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray, Tresemme 24 Hour Body Amplifying Mousse, Tresemme 24 Hour Body Blow Dry Lotion, Tresemme 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray

These are the styling products that I use. I haven't included hairspray because that changes whenever I run out as I'm still trying to find the 'perfect' hairspray. As you can see, I love Tresemme products. They work very well for my hair and they're affordable too! The 24 Hour Body range is just incredible and out of the 3 products shown here my favourite is the Blow Dry Lotion. I use the Heat Defence Styling Spray whenever I'm using heat on my hair and then I change between the other 3 depending on which one I feel like using.

L-R James Brown Intensively Glossy Rescue Treatment, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Luscious Long, Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream

Because I have long hair it's so important to make sure it's in good condition - long hair that isn't in good condition just looks horrible! I will use the James Brown hair mask whenever I feel that my hair is lacking in moisture. This isn't very often but when I do use it, it's amazing! You only need to leave it on for 30 seconds and it literally works wonders. The Aussie 3 Minute Miracle is something that I brought the other day and so far I'm loving it. I shampoo my hair with a build up removing shampoo (see below), apply this all over and rinse, then I use my normal shampoo and rinse and then repeat my applying this to the ends of my hair. I do this about twice weekly and my hair is already looking better than usual! The Herbal Essence Beautiful Ends cream has been in my collection a while now and it's still going strong - I use this daily and it keeps my ends in tip top condition.

L-R Superdrug Green Apple & Lime Shampoo, Tresemme 24 Hour Body Shampoo and Conditioner, Liz Earle Botanical Shine Conditioner for Oily Hair

I use the Superdrug shampoo when I use my Aussie mask to remove buildup. This shampoo is meant for oily hair and if it added volume it would be my number 1 shampoo but unfortunately it doesn't. It's a  cheap shampoo and it's great for reviving my hair and getting rid of any product build up. Once again you can see the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Shampoo and Conditioner making an appearance - I love this range! Both these products are amazing and I honestly don't think I'd use any others! The Liz Earle conditioner is one that I prefer over the Tresemme one -  I have no idea why, I just do!

I'd love to know the products that you use to look after your hair - please let me know :D
