It's all about the hair...


I recently came across the brand called Osmo and kinda went crazy and bought 3 hair products at once. If you are looking for a leave-in conditioner or some spray that will help you straighten your locks, you probably should try these. They are quite affordable with price ranging from £5 to £9 and I got mine from Amazon as I find it very convenient.

Osmo Staighten Up 3 Day Keratin Complex is to be used on wet hair and applied section by section before you start drying and then to reinforce the effect it's suggested to use straightening iron. I'll be completely honest with you and admit that I can not comment whether the straight style stay for 3 days, as I really like washing my hair every morning, but I can definitely say, that when I wake up my hair still smooth and curl-free like it was the night before. I also don't use straightening iron, but the results that I get only   with hairdryer and a brush is quite good.

Osmo Deep Moisturising Hair Repair is leave in treatment that helps to "strengthen and reconstruct hair without weighing them down." It also has Patchouli and Ylang Ylang extracts in it, so it smells absolutely lovely. All you need to do is spray this product evenly over the towel dried hair, brush it and then dry. 

Osmo Wonder: 10 Effects Leave-in Treatment. Just like his brothers this spray should be applied on to wet hair before drying, but sometimes when I feel it was not enough I add some more on the ends when I'm done with drying my hair. This leave-in treatment promises to achieve 10 effects: repair dry hair, nourish and protect for radiant shine, give thermal protection from styling tools, deliver soft and silky manageable results, help to protect colour, help to create body and movement, detangles your hair, aids in prevention of static, conditions, smoothes split ends and controls frizz!
Wow what a multi- tasker! Yes to this!

What I really like about all of this products is that they really don't weigh the hair down and make it appear greasy. My hair looks very full,voluminous and shiny , yet all the frizz is gone and the ends are smooth. No matter how you wear your hair up or down, it just makes hair more manageable and smooth, which is always nice.
So the bottom line is, these products definitely worth trying!Just pick the one to meet your needs.


Have you heard of Osmo before? HAve you tried their products? What are your thoughts?

Hair

There are two hair products that I was quite excited to try, but still can't make my mind about how I feel about them.



Phyto Huile D'Ales is a hydrating oil treatment for dry hair. The box included 5 ampules with the treatment solution, little white plastic cap that you can see in the picture is for breaking the ampules safely and a little bottle where you can pour the solution and spray over the hair. The formula of this product is not oily at all and it's water soluble so it makes it pretty easy to wash off. It smells very nice, but gets very sticky, so you can not comb the hair after you sprayed the solution over the hair. The instruction tells to keep on the hair for up to 30 minutes and then shampoo your hair as usual. Hm.. I can not say I was really impressed with the results... My hair felt conditioned, but still a bit dry..Maybe I was expecting too much or maybe it's just my hair that is that badly damaged.

Rahua Omega 9 Hair Mask. I seriously could not wait for it to arrive after I ordered it from Cult Beauty. This American brand uses rahua oil that has been a secret of women of Amazon forest for centuries , it is known to make hair lustrous, thick and flowing.
It says to squeeze a generous amount and keep it for 10-15 minutes. I should admit that I experience a little (but very annoying) problem every time as to get a sufficient amount for my quite long hair I need to press the pump a million times and if you are doing it in the shower the bottle gets very slippery and it just turns into the battle. I really wish it was in a simpler bottle with the lid that you can unscrew.
I find it very confusing and still can not form an opinion about this hair mask as my hair feels different after each time I use it. Sometimes it's perfectly shiny and moisturised, sometimes it's dry and frizzy. Hm..maybe it's again my hair??

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Shampoo maniac

Happy Sunday, readers!
Hope you are all doing great!

As a unfortunate owner of very dry hair, I'm quite obsessed with shampoos, masks, conditioners and serums and always on the look out for something new. My boyfriend is well informed about this obsession (as our shower completely cluttered with numerous bottles and jars), so I received a lovely present from him last Friday and can't wait to share with you!

Meet  Living Proof Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner by Jennifer Aniston!


I've seen these around and wanted to try them but never had a chance, so I was super excited to try!!
First of all, don't you just loooove the stylish grey packaging? I think they look very cool (you don't want to have something unattractive sitting on your shelf , do you?)
Secondly, it smells absolutely divine, which I find very important too , the fragrance stays on the hair all day and now and then I get a pleasant white flower scent.
I was pretty stunned when I finished drying my hair, as it was absolutely straight, shiny and very well nourished: even my dry as the desert ends, I could not believe that I don't even need to use a oil serum!
All I can say: Thanks, Jen! 
This lovely pair definitely made to my Favourites list.
Mine are to fight frizz and smooth down the hair, but Living Proof also has a range called Full for volume and Restore for damaged hair+ they have quite a few styling products!
Check it out here!

Have you ever tried any Living Proof products? What did you think?
