R&B Hair Moisturiser from Lush

Yet again I'm here to talk to you about a product from Lush that I've fallen in love with. It is no secret that I love Lush Cosmetics, every product I've ever tried from them I have absolutely loved and I've tried a fair few! I went into the store to buy a solid shampoo bar and came out with this in hand as well after it was recommended to me by one of the girls working there. It's not one of the cheaper products Lush offer and I'll admit, I was a little reluctant to try it because of the price but it really does work wonders.

The girl in the store said she uses this on damp hair but I've found it works best on mine when dry so it must differ between different hair types. I have very dry hair that has a tendency to frizz and tries to curl but just doesn't so if that sounds like your hair, please, just trust me and try this.

I take a tiny bit (I mean tiny, a little goes a lot further than you initially think and any more will look like too much) and rub it between my fingers and then gently brush my fingers through the lengths and ends of my hair. I don't know how this magic stuff manages to do it, but it seems to get rid of all the frizz and encourage my hair to curl. Although it's still not massively curly because of my hair naturally, it definitely looks a lot neater and the curls are more defined with this.

The other major plus to this product is that it smells amazing. When I went to the hairdresser a few weeks ago both my hairdresser and the girl who washed my hair asked me what it was and said it smelled gorgeous. It's definitely the jasmine scent that stands out which means it works really well with the Godiva Solid Shampoo bar (which also has conditioner in it).

I really can't recommend this enough. It's definitely a staple for me from now on and is perfect for those of us who are trying to resist using heat on our hair to keep it healthy (or if you're just a little lazy like me). 

Have you tried R&B or any of Lush's other hair treatments? Let me know what you thought in the comments!

L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

I've been on the hunt for a hair oil that isn't ridiculously expensive for a while now and I came across this one in boots. At £9.99 it's not exactly cheap but it's far from expensive for a hair oil, especially when you consider there's a lot more in this one than in some of the much more expensive ones. It's got coconut oil and sunflower seed oil in it as well as other things, both of which I've heard good things about when it comes to hair, so I thought why not try it out.

Usually I use this product on wet hair but if my hair feels like it needs a bit more love when it's dry I'll put some on then too. All it needs is for you to put a pump or two (as little as possible really to prevent putting too much in and making your hair look greasy) into your hands, rub them together and then apply it to your hair. I only use it on the bottom half of my hair as you shouldn't use it at your roots - all it will do is make your
hair look greasy!

The ends of my hair are fairly dry and damaged at the best of times due to it being bright red a few years ago. Although I've let the colour grow out and it now looks like ombre, the sun still damages it very easily which is why this product is great for me in the summer. Although it's not a life saving product, it definitely does the trick. After using it a few times I did notice a difference in my hair and I think on hair that's not as damaged as mine it would work a treat! 

What is brilliant about this product is that because a little goes a long way, you really do get your money's worth. I've been using it for a good few weeks now and it's hardly gone down at all. 

As I've not tried other hair oils I can't compare this to any others. It certainly seems to work and the price is definitely fair. It's definitely a cheaper alternative to some of the very expensive ones such as argan oil. 

Do you have any recommendations for other hair oils? Leave them below and I might just try them out!
