Special Delivery!

Hey dolls, so I know it’s been a while but I’ve been away on holiday for some relaxation time and left all pieces of technology behind. After spending almost 2 weeks in the sun and sea unfortunately my hair is feeling under the weather, so one of the first things I did when I got back was log onto HQ Hair and ordered me a whole load of hair care to get my locks back into tip top shape. After waiting anxiously by my front door for the not so hot post man to come with my goodies, my delivery finally arrived!!!! YAY.

As always I re-purchased my beloved heat protector Nectar Thermique by Kerastase which I have blogged about in the past, can not put any heat stylers anywhere near my locks without a good protector.

Protecting your hair when styling

Now I am a straightening fanatic, and cannot go a day without that 185 degree heat touching my strands. Therefore it only makes sense that I have a really good heat protector to keep my locks intact. Over the years I have tried and tested loads of different heat protectors, so some would say I am experienced in that department.

Kerastase and Redken

I absolutely love Kerastase Nutritive NectarThermique heat protector and no matter what I seem to use I always return to this gem. When I blowdry or straighten my hair I found this product gives a soft and supple feel throughout without that sticky feeling when running your fingers through your hair. It also has a beautiful scent to it and considering it’s a cream it doesn't weight down your hair at all.

This for me is a Definite 10/10 as I can’t live without it.

 

KerastaseNutritive Nectar Thermique - Heat Protector 

I gave this Redken Iron Silk 07 spray a go, as I wanted to try a new heat protector. Unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed in this product, as I felt that my hair was left feeling sticky (even though I didn't spray too much). I also noticed that my hair was becoming very tangled - a problem I don’t really have. I was left with that silky feeling that I am used to when using other heat protectors.

I am very sad to say that I will not be re-purchasing this product and I will have to mark it 4/10.

If you are on a budget for me the L'Oreal Studio Line Silk & Gloss Hot Straight Cream is a great product. Now when I am having a bad month and I can’t afford my expensive heat protector, I always go for this beauty. I feel it is good value for money, and it does what it says on the label. It leaves my hair feeling soft and has a glossy effect, I feel it is light weight on my hair and doesn't weight it down. My only issue is after a day I feel it gets a little greasy other than that I give it a 7/10
