What's In My Shower?

I absolutely love these as YouTube videos but as always, I don't think I'll ever be ready to put up with the negativity on YouTube so I'm bringing 'What's In My Shower?' to blogger! Click on the links to either see my full review of the product or find out where to buy the product.
I love having a variety of different shampoos in my shower and the reason for this is that my hair changes its type all the time. Sometimes it'll be dry, other times it'll be flat and sometimes, it'll need reviving. The shampoos I keep in my shower all the time are the TRESemme 24 Hour Body Shampoo as it's great for not weighing the hair down. It adds beautiful volume and also smells fresh. I usually use this before I'm going out at night as it helps hold the volume all night. I also keep the TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner* and the TRESemme Split Remedy Intense Recovery Masque* in there too. My hair is very fragile and it's constantly breaking. So in between hair cuts, I use this range as it helps to cover up split ends and repair the hair. It's my daily shampoo and conditioning range. I also love the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo for when my hair needs shine adding to it. It doesn't weigh the hair down and really adds a beautiful, glossy finish to the hair. I use a lot of product in my hair and I often get nasty product build up in there so the VO5 Revive Me Daily Shampoo is great for pre-washing my hair in order to remove any of the product. And finally, I will always have a Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Luscious Long Deep Treatment in my shower. It's a wonderful treatment mask that leaves hair feeling silky smooth.

I don't keep many face washes in my shower as I prefer washing my face after I've been in the shower so that I can remove any shampoo from the skin. But I do keep the OXY Seaweed Power Clear Pore Exfoliant* in there as it's such a wonderful exfoliator. After using this my skin feels super soft and it's the perfect thing to use before applying face masks. I use this 2-3 times a week and my skin looks clear after using it. When it comes to body washes, I always have a Soap and Glory Clean On Me Shower Cream in my shower as it's my all time favourite body wash. It smells beautiful and leaves skin feeling gorgeous and soft. The scent also lingers on the skin and I use a lot of Soap & Glory products and it's sort of become my 'signature scent.' I also have the Wilko Fruity Berry Shower Smoothie* in there at the minute as I received it at the Wilkinson's event. It smells incredible and also exfoliates the skin at the same time as washing it. My all-time favourite body scrub is the Soap and Glory Pulp Friction Foaming Fruity Body Scrub. A little goes a long way with this scrub and it's great for using before applying fake tan. It also has a lovely smell to it and really scrubs the skin without being too harsh. And finally, I have the JML Shower Feet* stuck in the bottom of my shower. I absolutely love this little product. It's perfect for after I've been on a night out and my feet are killing me. It massages the feet whilst also cleaning them and is great as you don't have to bend down. It sticks firmly to the bottom of the shower and doesn't move so it means you won't slip. There's also a pumice stone attached to the heel which smooths away dry and damaged feet.

I also have a lot more products in my drawers next to my sink but I'll take them into the shower with me. These are just what are in my shower permanently. I also use this shaver in my shower but it's stuck on my wall and therefore I couldn't really take a picture of it. I keep all of the above products (except for the shaver and the JML Shower Feet) in this shower tidy from IKEA which is unbelievable cheap but also very sturdy.

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
