MAKE HAIRCARE

M  A  K  E

Haircare Review!

http://www.makehair.com.au

When it comes to haircare products, I mainly stick to the popular well known budget brands. This is
probably because I am on a mummy budget and luxuries like spending hours on end in hair salons
has long become a thing of the past.

Every now and again a different kind of brand comes along which is completely refreshing, new and
different. This modern brand with it's geometric shaped logo and simplistic packaging is all Aussie
and their website and social media give off that strong laid back, holiday beach vibe. Who doesn't
love that! Sounds relaxing right? I love the whole theme as my hair always needs relaxing and feels
beach dried! Since using this new product range over the past few months my hair looks as though
it has had a bit of a holiday pampering.

Now for the rest of me.... !



M a k e  Hydrated Shampoo

375ml - $21.95

Hydration and moisturise are two words you'd see a lot of if you dare looked into my bathroom
cabinet. These are the kinds of specialities I lean toward when shopping up on hair products.

This slim 375ml bottle is packed full of natural wheat and silk proteins which work to deeply nourish
 hair and bring it back to life. The formula itself lathers up nicely without having to use a massive
amount which I tend to do usually if I find a product not lathering as then I don't feel as though it is
really washing all that oil off the top of my head!

Since using this with other nourishing products from the brand below, my hair is stronger, smoother,
softer, shinier and doesn't smell half bad either!

Now I am just dying to discover the conditioner from the range to complete my  M a k e  collection.


M a k e Sleek Cream

150ml - $21.95

This Sleek Cream is a rich leave in protein treatment for stressed, worn out and split end hair.
With ingredients like Sage, Silk amino acids, Linden, Birch, Yarrow and Hydrolysed wheat protein
which work together in healing damaged, dry hair.

I like this kind of versatile product because I can use it whenever I want no matter if my hair is wet
or dry. No need to think about it, just whenever you feel your hair needs some extra TLC, is feeling
dry or sad you can just work a little bit of this through your hair or even just your ends any time of
the day. This will gives a quick long lasting shot of nourishing protein into your hair follicles
instantly making your hair feel smoother, moisturised and smelling fresh!


M a k e Salty Spray

250ml - $21.95

Growing up on the beaches of FNQ, using this kind of product takes me back to days walking my
dogs along the beaches with crystal clear waters and sand between my toes. Living nowhere near a
beach now a days I really miss it when I think about it! Back then beach hair was my everyday
hairstyle. No product required!

Fast forward about 15 years and to achieve that same look and feel requires a little help from some
great smelling, texturising spray form hair liquid!

Just a few sprays of this throughout my hair and scrunching it through with my hands does the trick
in about one minute. To get even more volume and killer waves the trick is to bend over and throw all your hair over your head then spray the product through and scrunch whilst up-side-down.

 WA-LA! Killer M A K E hair for dayz! :)

M A K E haircare products can be purchased from Hairhouse Warehouse Australia.

SUIGO


~ Suigo Haircare ~

http://www.suigoaustralia.com.au

Suigo Vital Nutrition Intensive Hair Repair Treatment
When it comes to hair repair treatments I really just can't get enough. It is up there with one of my
favourite things to do when it comes to treating myself when I get the little bit of extra 'me time.'

This thick, white formula is lightly fragranced with a fresh and light fragrance which is lingering 
with an air of perfume hours after using it. My hair has definitely benefited from it because I can 
really feel the difference in how soft and smooth it is as well as seeing less breakage after using my
hair brush.

Suigo Vital Nutrition Shampoo
Even though I only had the opportunity to try out the Suigo Shampoo & Conditioner in the 30ml
sample size tubes, I was able to get three washes from each which I feel like is just enough to be able
to give my opinion on how they worked for me. 

Again, the scent of these are light and quite refreshing as fragrance from them don't irritate my nose 
as I breathe them in deeply during my shower. The formula was white and a good consistency which
was easy to use and not too runny. It lathered up well into my hair and gave it that satisfying clean
feeling. I feel like this product in conjunction with using both the Suigo Treatment and Conditioner
has helped make a positive difference in my hair's overall health. 

Suigo Vital Nutrition Conditioner
If this wasn't labeled as a conditioner, I could easily mistake it for a hair treatment as the formula is
quite a bit thicker than my other conditioners on the rotation at the moment. To me, this is a good sign
as usually with this kind of product, the thicker the better when it comes to deeply nourishing my
hair.

I couldn't live without conditioning my hair as it does so many things. Smoothing, detangling, 
moisturising and of course treating and repairing it. This does all of the above and on a higher end
of the scale in my opinion. Definitely worth the premium price tag if you hair is in need of some 
serious love!

For more info about Suigo you can find them here. :)

How often do you treat your hair to a deep hair repair treatment?

SUMMER HAIR CARE


Summer Haircare 

with

~  P U R E T O P I A  ~



Moisture Repair
Nourishing & Strengthening Shampoo
RRP: $10.95 (250ml)
-
When you have long, dry and damaged hair like mine you want to invest in a good
strengthening and rich moisturising shampoo because it will help nurse your hair back
to good health and make it shine! This shampoo used together with the matching conditioner
(see below) has really made my hair feel so soft, I barely recognise it as it never feels as good
as this! My hair also smells just divine with the exotic mix of lime, grapefruit, spearmint and
geranium, imagine that for just a moment and breathe it in! Ahh, so refreshing that I don't
even think my husband minds so much when my hair accidentally whips into his face! haha! :D

Australian owned & made, recyclable packaging, against animal testing and 100% sulfate free!
I bet you won't be able to find one bad thing about this product! It ticks all of the right boxes!


Moisture Repair
Moisturising & Strengthening Conditioner
RRP: $10.95 (250ml)
-
I maintain the natural colour of my hair by running a permanent dye through it every few months
to help fight the ever so persistent greys that keep on popping up, creating way too many bad hair
days! So to be able to use this product which is designed to help with the damage that can be caused
from colouring and styling your hair is perfect for me! It contains wheat starch and proteins which
strengthen the hair whilst making it all nice and silky and shiny! Then the array of flower and
seed oils such as sunflower, lime and grapefruit give it it's incredible scent, moisture and colour
protection.

Use as you would any normal conditioner working it through the bottom half of your hair
and then thoroughly rinsing it out or you can leave it in for as long as 15 minutes to really
let the ingredients soak into your hair and drink them up, maximising the overall result this
range of products gives to your hair.

Pure Treatment
Hydrating & Rejuvenating Hair Mask
RRP: $12.95  (250ml)
-
This stuff is just icing on your hair cake!
If you want to get lust worthy hair and can take the time for a little extra pampering once
a week, then this is your guy!

KERASTASE


~    K   E   R   A   S   T   A   S   E    ~

Discipline  Range

      Review!     


With Summer fast approaching my hair needs to go and sit over in the naughty
corner and have a stern talking to and some serious discipline!
Whenever it becomes humid, with even the slightest amount of moisture in the air,
my hair goes manic and it becomes a nightmare to control. >_<

So it seems this new Discipline haircare range has come into my life at the most perfect time!
My hair has now been fully disciplined!
 How lucky for those unruly, cheeky little, drive me crazy strands!


RRP: $42 (250ml)
This very pretty, pretty, shiny rose gold and peach packaging has me totally sucked in and
drooling from first glance! It just looks sooo....oh what's the word - expensive & luxe!
No joke, it even smells expensive & completely salon luxe! It doesn't even stop there,
just wait until you use this stuff. (and seriously you like totally will because after reading my
review of this entire range you will be completely sold! ha!) ;)

It feels so nice to massage into my crazy, kid, play doh, glue, grass, mud and god knows 
what else gets up in there from day to day smelling hair that my kids put in it with their grubby
mitts! To be able to unwind with a hair pampering like this after my usual crazy day is just bliss!

Thank you Kerastase!

RRP: $48 (200ml)
We all know one is not complete without the other, and the above Bain Fluidealiste's sister is this
Fondant Fluidealiste which picks up where the Bain leaves off giving your hair instant strength and
smoothness as it soaks in and detangles.

It says to use this on towel dried hair and leave in for 1-2 minutes but I just use this whilst I'm still
showering. I squeeze out as much water as I can from my hair and then apply a generous
 coating of this down the bottom end of my hair beginning from around where my ears
 are and working the product down toward the ends. Once I've detangled my hair, this usually 
takes me a good few minutes because I have so much of it, the product has been left in
 long enough and then I thoroughly rinse it out.

RRP: $60 (200ml)
This stuff is the icing on a very luxurious hair cake! :)
The rich, thick, white texture is so creamy and smells totally a-maze!
Seriously, a relaxing treatment masque that doesn't feel heavy or like it's weighing my hair down
as it rests in there soaking into every strand is exactly the kind of pampering I love to indulge in!
(Not to mention quite hard to find!)

In conjunction with using both the Bain Fluidealiste and Fondant Fluidealiste together with this
Maskeratine, collectively they are creating hair magic! The difference in my hair overall is obvious!
The frizz and annoying static has gone away and instead I am left with smooth, soft, shiny, 
deeply moisturised, lust worthy angelic looking hair!! Oooh!

(Keep scrolling for pix below!)

PANTENE


~ PANTENE PRO-V ~

Daily Moisture Renewal! 


Ah, so here we are again with yet another hair post!
I know I do a lot of them, but hey hair is important & I'm passionate about it!
Come on now, you know you'd feel a bit odd without it, right? Right!!

So when the opportunity arose for me to try a new hair care product for one
of my favourite beauty websites Primped I couldn't wait to start!

This intense daily moisture renewal has put back some added moisture to my hair.
I've been using some pretty good hair products lately, so thankfully my hair has
been in pretty good condition. But being cursed with dry ends, well, they
can always do with a bit more moisture in them and these products have helped!

These products claim to revitalize hair with four times damage prevention!
Prevention is always key, but if there is damage already done, hopefully it's
working on that too, at least it feels like it is, so that's a great start! :)

I first started using Pantene products way back when I was still in high school
going back over ten years ago! Of course I've used about a billion different other
brands since then, but Pantene seems to have stuck with me and I always have
back up bottles of it. So what does that tell you!? Yes, I'm a hoarder... but at
least I'm hoarding the good stuff I actually really enjoy using!

What brand do you find you have a lot more of than others?

TRESEMME PLATINUM STRENGTH

~ TRESemme ~

Expert Selection

Platinum Strength Range




Shampoo:
This shampoo like most, lathers up into a nice, thick white foam.
The smell is true to the classic Tresemme scent. Stronger when you're
using it in the shower than just smelling it out of the bottle. I think the
steam from a hot shower creates that, which is nice because it gives my
whole bathroom a scented makeover! Because my hair is prone to dryness,
especially in these colder months, I have enjoyed using a product like this
which is extra, extra moisturising! I'm not sure how my hair would take to
this in Summer when I like to wash my hair daily because you can't help but
just get hot and sweaty no matter what you do and since this is so moisturising
I feel like it could end up a bit too heavy and weigh my hair down (especially
since I have so much of it!) at a time when I need it to be as lightweight as possible.

Conditioner:
I don't think I've ever come across a conditioner as moisturising as this one!
I wouldn't recommend this for normal or healthy haired people.
I feel like to get the best out of it, you really only should go out and get this if
your hair is dry and damaged and needs a lot of TLC!
This conditioner I used only on the bottom half of my hair as this is where
my hair need the most nourishing. It does a brilliant job at repairing the
damage from dyes, styling/heat tools and blunt scissors (for when I like to think
I'm clever and touch up my ends DIY at home) can do! I noticed instantly how
smooth and soft it was making my hair. It was like when you apply a really good,
thick moisturising cream to your face or body, only to your hair.
Makes perfect sense to me! :)

Deep Conditioning Treatment:
This is designed to use once a week, which I have been doing for the past
two weeks and because my hair needed a bit of extra, extra moisture to it,
this did an amazing job at providing that extra care. I don't see myself needing to
keep on using this every single week, because I feel like by the second week my
hair didn't need it as much as before the first use. So ill probably continue to
use this every 2-3 weeks or whenever my hair feel extra dry or stressed.

Leave In Treatment:
I love these kinds of leave in products because I can apply them to towel
dry or completely dry hair and I don't have to think about it. I can just
apply it any time of the day or night for a bit of hair pampering!
This claims to repair up to two years of hair damage!
That is such a brave claim and incredible if true.
I honestly don't know if it has begun to repair two years worth of
damage to my hair.... that is something very hard to distinguish. 
It is a beautiful product though which I have really been enjoying!
This, along side the shampoo, conditioner and the deep conditioning
treatment, I feel like have deeply nourished, moisturised and strengthened
my hair over the past two weeks, so I'm very happy about that! :)

CLEAR INTENSE HYDRATION

NEW!

Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy

Intense Hydration

Shampoo & Conditioner


I have to straight up admit, celebrity endorsed beauty products get my attention.
Especially if it's a particular person whom I admire or let's be honest, 
enjoy following and being in awe of how perfect their lives seem.
Everybody knows Miranda Kerr, amd as the face of Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty
Therapy, I think she suits the brand perfectly.

I am excited to see this new Intense Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner 
being introduced into the range because i have had a positive
experience with the 7 day challenge in the past and my hair
can always use a little extra bit of hydration, especially 
since I heat the cap out of it almost everyday with my straightener.

This contains cactus extract which not only leaves your hair feeling
softer and healthier. It also aids in preventing your hair from
looking and becoming all weak and dry after using heat tools.
I've noticed a healthy looking, silky shine to the full length of my
hair since using this which makes me feel like maybe, just maybe
my hair might be starting to look just a little bit like Miranda's!?
:)

For just $5.99ea, you get 200ml in each bottle. 
Not bad considering the salon smooth,
looking results!



Have you tried Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy before?

Love Candy!

TRESemme Keratin Smooth

TRESemme' 

Expert Selection

Keratin Smooth

7 Day System!

~ Review! ~
When it comes to my hair, I feel as though I've been cursed through my mother's genes.
She and I share the same naturally thick and frizzy prone strands.
If technology had never evolved when it
comes to hair care and tools, I would be doomed to look like a fuzzy wuzzy, cray cray
cat lady or something the like. I need my hair tamed on a daily bases or it runs totally WILD!
Think young Herminie from the first Harry Potter movie and that's pretty much
my hair before I start it tackle it with about a billion products each day!

So in saying that I was very curious to try the NEW Keratin Smooth range from TRESemme'.
Just seeing the word Smooth already has me sucked in and eager for results asap.
So with this 7 day smooth system, I was pretty impressed at how fast and effective this
range has worked for me. It sure had it's work cut out for it!

This range is designed to be used in conjunction with your hair straightening tools
to activate their thermal technology in the formula for salon perfect results.
This is an amazing technique that I have never heard of nor used before
 and I think it is so awesome because it really feels like I'm the hair dresser
at home, in charge and in total control of my own hair.
---
Keratin Smooth Shampoo
7 Day Smooth System
NEW w/Lower Sulfates!
RRP: $10.99 (250ml)
This shampoo has a lovely light fragrance and shampooing my hair was a relaxing treat.
It lathered up well with only a small amount needed. About what you see in my image
below. As you can see it is a white and creamy formula. I found after towel drying and
then once my hair was completely dry my hair felt softer as well as free from any frizz it
usually spots with about a million fly aways everywhere! Kept my hair clean and non greasy
for about 3 days before I needed to wash again.

Keratin Smooth Conditioner
7 Day Smooth System
NEW Thermal Technology!
RRP: $10.99 (250ml)
The formula of this conditioner as you can see below is similar to the matching
Keratin Smooth shampoo, however this conditioner as with most is a little thicker.
Using this was too easy! I just massaged it into my hair, mostly concerntrating on the ends
which need the most TLC and it easily detangled my hair and made it feel silky smooth!
Contains a beautifully light fragrance much the same as the 7 Day Smooth System Shampoo.

Keratin Smoth Heat Activated Treatment
7 Day Smooth System
NEW Thermal Technology
Lasts Even Through Washes!
RRP: $10.99 (120ml)
This salon quality product is anyone's dream hair product! You seriously need to invest
in this if you want to simply have straight, well behaved hair all the time!
I use this the following day after washing before straightening my hair and it is amazing!
My hair usually looks alright after burning the crap out of it with my straightener. However
when using a bit of this in my hair before straightening, it just cuts down the heat time in half!
My hair is already looking much better from the Shampoo & Conditioner alone, and then using
this as well just tops it all off. My hair remains straight, smooth and frizz free for up to a week!

L'Oréal Paris Fibralogy Shampoo & Conditioner


L'oréal Paris Fibralogy Range!


Recently I was selected to become part of L'Oréal Paris's 
Trial Team to test out their brand new
Fibralogy range.

So over the past four weeks I have had the pleasure of
putting these thickening hair products through
their paces.


Here is my before & after shot so hopefully you can see
Some kind of positive effect this has made on my hair.


Personally I think my hair feels and looks a little fuller.
My hair is already naturally quite thick, so I 
wondered how this would fair.
More than anything, I feel like my hair
has more body and shape to it which I am loving!


The formula smells amazing and makes your
hair instantly feel incredibly smooth when you're
indulging in some precious me time in the shower. 
(I know you hear me fellow mummy's!) 

I am looking forward to how much more this
will effect my hair the more I use it.
I think this would be worth trying for anyone
looking for fuller hair with more body and shape.
Even men with thinning hair, this is worth a try!
I have felt like the serum has really helped in making
a huge difference, so I wouldn't go skipping out on it.
Use it for quicker and more dramatic results.



Have you heard of or tried this new range yet?
Do you love fuller/thicker hair?

My Haircare Routine!


1. L'Oreal Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Conditioner
I am currently trialling these as part of L'Oreal's trial team and I have to say
they are pretty nice products! My hair is naturally thick, but I still love the
idea of a thickening hair product as thick hair is always looks much more
voluminous and Victoria's Secret esk, and who doesn't want supermodel hair?!
This conditioner smells so nice and instantly smooths my hair as I use it in the
shower. Easily de-tangles my hair and leaves my hair super soft too!

2. TRESemme Split Remedy Leave In Conditioning Spray
I have been a big fan of Tresemme products for a long time!
So when I received this in my Blogstar prize pack I couldn't wait to try it!
My hair needs a lot of work. It isn't at all easy to manage nor does it ever behave
and allow me an easy good hair day. I need to work at it!
Having this leave in conditioning spray not only conditions my hair throughout
the day giving it extra much needed moisture, it also gives my hair that fresh just
washed smell that lasts all day.
Check out my thoughts on Tresemme's Split Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner here!

3. L'Oreal Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Treatment
As part of the L'Oreal trial team, I am also currently using this leave in
treatment serum which aids in the thickening hair process.

4. Batiste WILD Dry Shampoo
I have been using this for quite a few months now.
I even mentioned it in my January Favourites.
I am obviously a fan of great smelling hair products because this also
smells really good! Unlike a lot of dry shampoos, this is easily distributed
and soaks up any excess oil quickly and doesn't leave my hair looking grey or powdery.

5. Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Daily Rince Off Treatment
As part of Beautyheaven's video trial team, I was able to give this a
go a few months ago and have been loving it ever since!
I have been really good lately using a treatment both in and out of the shower when
my hair is both wet and dry to really help maintain it's best health.
If you're after shiny, silky, soft hair then you better go get your hands on this one, it does
a brilliant job!
Watch my video review on the new Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine range here!

6. L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil
Out of all the hair products I am currently using in my routine, this is hands
down my absolute favourite and has been ever since I first started using it!
Nothing compares, this oil fixes any hair problem! Weather it's frizz,
dryness, fly aways, damage or weakness, you get instant results with this!
It isn't at all greasy nor does it give you an oily look. It simply soaks straight into
your hair and gives an amazing smoothing and shine effect. I cannot
recommend this highly enough!
Watch my video review on this Extraordinary Oil here!

7. L'Oreal Paris Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Shampoo
Just like it's pair, this shampoo smells so so good!
Not overpowering, but enough to give you that salon feel.
I am still in the middle of trialling these products, but so far I am starting
to notice the thickening effect slightly. My hair being naturally thick, is becoming
more apparent and defined in appearance and also feels a bit thicker too.
What I am noticing most though it how good my hair is smelling and how smooth it feels
during and after I've washed it.

Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Review!



I was recently given the opportunity from Beautyheaven to trial and review a few of the products from the new Ice Shine range from Pantene. I have been loving them so much I thought why not do a blog post to review them in further detail from my video review which can be seen here. :)

My hair is naturally thick, lacks shine, is dry and frizz prone no matter what the weather is like, so this shampoo, conditioner and daily rinse off treatment had a lot of work to do!

Before & After


As you can see from the before and after photos of my hair, these products are simply amazing and they have done such an incredible job at not only transforming my hair into a more visually appealing mane, it also feels softer, smoother, stronger and all over healthier!


Have you tried this new range or heard of it?
 Have you used any Pantene products before? 
Which are your favs ones you'd recommend?
