Protecting damaged hair: How to achieve perfect silky locks

Summer is the perfect time for free–flowing waves that behave themselves with little care. Plus, it’s usually far too hot to be using hairdryers and straighteners on your hair. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of products and styling tips that will help you achieve perfect silky locks while protecting damaged hair during the summer months.

Switch up how you wash your hair

Most shampoos contain sodium laurel sulphate which is essentially just a detergent, and not very good for our hair. Look for products that are recommended by hairdressers, and speak to your local salon if you’re not sure. Net-a-Porter recommends Marie-Stella-Maris’ ‘No.51’ shampoo that is 100% natural with Aloe Vera, Vitamin B and a mix of essential oils.

 

Ditch the heat

With warmer weather you don’t really need to dry your hair before leaving the house. If you stop yourself from styling using curlers, straighteners or just your hair dryer you will notice massive improvements in the quality of your hair. To achieve beautiful naturally dried locks, look for salt sprays, texturisers and curl creating products to give your hair some character. If you struggle with flat straight hair, plait your trusses in chunky sections while it’s still wet and undo them when it’s dry for easy beach girl waves.

 

Hide the damage

If your natural hair is too damaged to be left to its own devices, it’s time to call in for some back up. We’re talking adding more of what you’ve got, but less damaged. If you aren’t sure how to get instant hair extensions, it’s actually really easy and there’s no need to visit a salon. Simply find your hair colour and when you need a little bit extra of extra volume, clip in your hair extensions.

 

Protecting damaged hair

We slather sun cream all over our bodies but we’re less vigilant when it comes to protecting our hair from the bleaching rays of the sun. “If you don’t protect your hair, the sun can actually shift your hair colour and also change your hair texture by drying it out,” says hair colourist Daniel Sanchez speaking to ELLE magazine. To prevent bleaching and drying out, protect your hair with a sun spray. Clarins spray-on sun cream oil spray is for your hair and body, which is great because you don’t have to carry so many bottles around with you.

 

This summer, take these extra steps to protecting your hair and ensuring it looks great every day with little effort and fuss.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of the summer season.

 

 

Product Review – skinChemists Moisturisers

I am a huge fan of the skinChemists brand. I have used a few of their products in the past year, and I wish I could afford to use them all day, everyday. They are so good and these moisturisers right here did not let me down.

I have been using the skinChemists Advanced Snail Duo Moisturiser and the Rose Quartz Hydrating & Illuminating Day Moisturiser, for weeks now and I have been loving them.

 

skinChemists Advanced Snail Duo Moisturiser

I love this moisturiser so much. It feels great on my skin and ticks all the boxes for me. Here is the product description –

 

SkinChemists Advanced Snail Duo Moisturiser is formulated for use as part of both a morning and evening skincare regimes. The advanced blend of active ingredients work in synergy to repair the skin from daily damage, whilst protecting against future environmental stress, leaving a mattified finish.

 

Here are my thoughts –

PROS

  1. I adore the beautiful compact packaging.
  2. It has a lovely sweet fragrance, that is so long-lasting.
  3. I like the matte finish. It is also great as a foundation base for makeup.
  4. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth.

 

CONS

  1. The price. A 50ml bottle goes for £114.90. But then again, quality skincare never comes cheap. I had to learn that the hard way.

  3. I love the texture of this moisturiser. It is great for my skin.

CONS

  1. Maybe price again. A 50ml bottle goes for £89.90. However, like I said above, when it comes to skincare, the more expensive, the better.

So you want a bigger butt?

It looks like the whole world and their dad is suddenly talking about Kim Kardashian’s huge butt, and I can’t understand why. Her butt has been massive since she first appeared on our TV screens, so why is everyone going on and on about it?

Well, it looks like it all started from Khloe Kardashian’s comment about her sister (Kim) being her gym inspiration and having the best body ever! That comment kind of broke the internet, but Khloe’s comment was in the defense of Kim’s silly Tweet. In the now-deleted tweet, Kim wrote: ‘The flu can be an amazing diet. So happy it came in time for the Met lol #6lbsdown.’, and the internet came for her so bad.

I still don’t get what the whole noise is all about. I have watched Keeping up with the Kardashains for years (I have only just lost interest in the show because I think they have lost their mojo or I have grown up), and I know how obsessed the sisters are with their bodies. To be honest, I don’t really blame them. When you are in the limelight the way they are, you can’t be anything but perfect or the trolls would come for you so bad. Even when you are “perfect”, they still come, so I know how hard they must be working at keeping up their looks.

 

 

I also think Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are so obsessed with Kim’s features, and are out to make sure they get every one of them, especially Kylie. Kylie is beginning to look more and more like Kim by the day, and Khloe’s butt is almost as big as Kim’s now. Her butt kind of grew overnight after her public breakup with Lamar Odom, and it now looks twice as big as it was before. I wonder what she is using. She swears it is all exercise, but we know better. Just like Kylie swearing her sudden swollen lips were all lip gloss, but we know now for a fact that it is not.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery in my eyes, just own it. I am tired of women having surgery done then denying it or playing it down. It makes no sense. There is no way your ass or boobs would have grown overnight, without some form of help, so why lie/pretend?

Having said that, there are various ways to enhance our features these days, many do not even need to go under the knife if they don’t want to. There are Botox injections, pills and creams that can be used to enhance various areas of our body. One of them is the Glutimax Butt Enhancement Cream.

 

 

Now if I wanted to get a bigger butt, I would go for this Glutimax Butt Enhancement Cream, because I rather not go under the knife. I am more comfortable with a cream than a pill or surgery.

I bet these is what many of these celebrities are using too, because there is no downtime, you can use it from the comfort of your home as often as advised, without having to take time off to recover, so it can be very discreet. I think this Glutimax Butt Enhancement Cream, is a smart invention.

What do you think of all the talk about Kim Kardashian’s “natural” butt? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day.
