Batiste Dry Shampoo

Published on by Corinne8 Comments

I recently was in desperate need for some dry shampoo, so when I was out, I scoured the shelves, looking for the perfect product. I’ve used dry shampoos before, and I did like the various scents that Batiste offered, but I did find that with my dark hair, it took far too much ‘working’ into my hair, for it to not look powdery, and by the time I’d finished working the product into my hair, it look just as greasy as it did when I started out.

So when I saw this particular can offered a ‘hint of colour’ geared towards brunette hair, I thought I should give it a go.IMG_2095So the other day when I was styling my hair, I decided to finally give this product a go. I made sure to thoroughly shake the can, then lift sections of my hair and spray this directly at the roots, from roughly 30cm away, as instructed.

I was really pleased with the results, I didn’t even have to work the product into my hair, because as soon as I had sprayed it and let go of the section of hair, it looked fresh, and perfectly blended in.

I can honestly say that this is my new favourite dry shampoo, because it takes the least amount of effort to create a finished look, and it’s a reasonably sized can, so it’s definitely worth picking up, because it’ll last you, and it’s affordable.

I am so glad I finally found a suitable dry shampoo for darker hair, let me know if you have used this dry shampoo before, or if you’re going to try it out now!

I want to change up what I’m posting in the future, so be sure to let me know in the comments if you’d like to see more beauty, cooking, lifestyle or fashion posts, I’ll be sure to listen!

How To: Achieve Volume With Long Hair

Published on by Corinne3 Comments

Hey guys! Since I stepped back from having short/mid length hair, and decided to let it grow out, I very quickly realised that long hair does come with cons. Many of us may dream of how amazing it would be to have long, flowing hair, but we rarely think about it’s upkeep and management.Fotor1127223841So today I’m sharing with you guys how I keep volume in my hair, because the length and weight of it nowadays can tend to make it limp and lifeless.IMG_0556So here are my tips and tricks for keeping your hair bouncy and full of life, even if it’s really long, and even during the harsher winter months!

Back-Combing Brush | Yes. Any and all volume-increasing/inducing products will last so much longer and give you much better results if you have already lightly back-combed your roots. You don’t have to go overboard, just lightly back-comb them, them smooth over the top of your hair so it’s not messy.

Mousse | Volume starts in your hair from the moment you wash it, to when you’ve finally set it into place. So after using a light/voluminsing shampoo and conditioner, (I recommend Herbals Essences Naked shampoo and conditioners!) after you’ve towel dried your hair, I recommend using a mousse. This gives lift to your roots, making back-combing much easier and long-lasting.

Dry Shampoo | Finally, if you’re working with 2/3 day old hair, and your mousse has worn out, dry shampoo can be your saviour. Not only does it refresh your hair without needing to wash it, but dry shampoo actually gives a bit of grip to your hair, meaning it is fuller and looks thicker.

And that’s it! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and these tips help you out if you’re currently struggling with limp and lifeless hair, if it id, be sure to let me know in the comments.
