DGJ ORGANICS HAIRCARE*



Haircare is something I usually take the least interest in. I generally use the same products day in day out and have never really made an effort to try something new. When I was contacted to trial some new haircare products, I thought it would be the perfect chance for me to see if there would really be a difference with my hair. DGJ Organics is a brand that is invested in creating organic haircare products, using lot's of lovely ingredients such as vitamin E. I was sent the Argan Oil range to try out, which sounded perfect for my salon treated hair. 

After washing my hair with the shampoo, I noticed quickly that the product lathers into a lovely, silky foam. Because my hair is bleached I often find shampoos feel very coarse and drying, however, the product felt very moisturising and didn't leave my hair feeling stripped. The conditioner was just as lovely and really complimented the shampoo, making my hair feel like silk! I was quite apprehensive about using an oil treatment, my hair becomes greasy very quickly, and so I was worried this would make matters worse. I applied the product and began to blow dry my hair. I firstly found that my hair dried much quicker which is brilliant because my hair is extremely thick! I also found that there was literally no frizz to my hair, which I often get every time I  dry my naturally curly hair. I feel that the combination of all products really made my hair much more manageable, both during drying and styling. I always opt for loose, beach curls and my heating tool glided perfectly through my hair the next day! 

I always felt like Argan Oil was a bit of a faff, one of those trends that don't follow through, however, I have completely changed my mind! I love this range and the way it makes my hair routine so much easier. The products are extremely well priced, ranging from £5-£7. They are also moderately sized and so you get a very reasonable amount of product. I love that they are organic and that I can see a huge difference in my hair, I will definitely be repurchasing.

L'Oréal Glam Highlights











I get bored of my hair so easily, I always see celebrities with different hairstyles and it inspires me to change my look up. I purchased this kit on a whim as I wanted to lighten my hair for summer. As I am writing this review, I should mention that since the product was tested, I have highlighted it a further two times! I fell in love with the ease and finish of the highlights. The product comes with a really simple application brush which allows you to apply the product effectively and easily. The mixing of the product was also simple and mess free which is important when you're dealing with bleach! I applied the highlights with ease and was impressed with the finished look. 

Because my hair is quite a reddish brown, I did end up with orange tinges in my highlights which was soon fixed by a toner. I found that the shop bought toner products weren't effective so I usually make my own with some purple hair dye and conditioner, it allows me to alter the strength of the product. I love my new hair colour and have saved a lot of money that would be spent in a salon!! The condition of my hair is still silky and smooth, however, I do apply conditioning treatments on a regular basis! If you want a new look without spending a lot of money, definitely give this kit a try! I am really happy with the finished look!!
