Garnier Ultimate Blends Plumping Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo & conditioner

Watermelon scented beauty products are all the rage at the moment and why wouldn't they be?

Watermelon offers a sweet, soft, juicy aroma that lifts the spirits and reminds you of tropical climes!






When I saw that Garnier had launched a trio of watermelon hair care products there was no question that I was going to get them!


Garnier Ultimate Blends Plumping Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo & conditioner  have been formulated specifically for fine hair.


If like me you crave volume and a boost to inject some depth and movement to your lank locks then these are the products for you.






Blended with Watermelon & Pomegranate, the clear, gel-like shampoo offers a light foam to gently cleanse to boost your hair without weighing it down. 


Vegan friendly, free from silicones and formulated with 96% Natural Ingredients, this delightful, aromatic shampoo gently and softly cleansed your hair, imparting the most deliciously tropical aroma.


If like me you suffer with both dry, damaged AND thin hair, conditioner can be a tricky product to use. 


Many offer silky soft locks, but the trade off is the product weighs your hair down, meaning you lack volume.






Garnier's Ultimate Blends Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner offers an ultra lightweight, melting texture that effortlessly detangles stressed hair.


Quickly absorbed, your hair is left feeling soft and fresh in no time. 


Similarly to the shampoo the conditioner is also vegan friendly, features no silicones, is Comprised of 97% Natural Ingredients and is housed within a 100% recyclable bottle. 






The duo smell incredible, sweet, soft and addictive however the conditioner doesn't offer quite as much nourishment that my long dry ends require for a truly deep conditioning. 


That said, if your hair is healthier than mine then you're in for a winner and my hair definitely felt lighter and post blow drying, had a little extra volume.


You can try them for yourselves now at Boots .

Pantene Hair Biology Defrizz & Illuminate Collection

 Give your hair a radiant, healthy makeover this summer with Pantene’s new Hair Biology Defrizzand Illuminate collection.

Created especially for those of us who suffer with dry, dehydrated hair and stubborn frizz, it deeply protects and conditions your locks leaving your hair feeling silky soft, smooth and luminous.




Everyday life take its toll on your hair, from colouring, brushing and styling which can result in lank, dull looking locks.

Pantene’s Hair Biology Defrizz & Illuminate range features a tailored blend of nutrients for your hair’s biology needs. 

 


Presented in bottles featuring natural, neutral tones with the words ‘hair biology’ scribed in luminous, rainbow font, you should begin your transformation with the Shampoo (£5.99).

Thick, creamy and wonderfully rich, this restorative shampoo is free from parabens, colourants and mineral oils.

 


 

Featuring a blend of hyaluronic acid, Omega 9 and active Pro-V nutrients, the shampoo works into a soft, frothy lather to gently cleanse without stripping your hair of its essential moisture to keep it looking and feeling healthy.

Follow with a generous dollop of the conditioner (£5.99).

It is thick, silky and smells wonderful; think fruity but fresh and light.

 



Apply to damp hair and leave for a couple of minutes to let it work its magic before rinsing off.

If your hair is need of some serious TLC Pantene also have a matching Mask (£6.99) from the same line.




The mask deeply hydrates strands right down to their core to repair damage caused by styling and colour while helping to build your hair’s defence against frizz-causing humidity and stressors.

As you may expect, the mask is thicker than the conditioner and the longer you leave it on damp hair before rinsing off, the better.

Then, simply dry and style as usual and enjoy hair that has been revived and restored to its former glory.

 



Even my super dry, coloured hair felt softer and smoother plus it had a gorgeous, fresh dazzling shine to it which to be honest, I hadn’t seen in a while!

Pantene’s Hair Biology Defrizz and Illuminate trio of products are available now from Boots.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder


If like me you have fine, flyaway hair but also suffer with the dreaded frizz you’ll know what a pain it is to find a haircare regime that can solve this problem.

Most serums, lotions and creams weigh your hair down, which when you already have fine hair, is far from ideal.

Frizz may be tamed, but so is any volume you may have been able to inject into your lacklustre locks.

Boo.




Lucky for us then that John Frieda have just launched a new range ESPECIALLY for us fine haired gals!

John Frieda’s Frizz Ease serums were the first I ever used as a teen when trying to combat frizz and I loved them so I was super excited to give this new range a go.

This ground breaking trio of products have been created to target frizz both internally and externally, taming your hair without weighing it down.




Comprising of a Shampoo (£5.99), Conditioner (£5.99) and Smoothing Crème (£6.99), the entire collection has been enriched with Aloe Vera which is made up of protein, water, and is rich in Vitamins A, B, C and E.

Known for its hydrating powers the Aloe deeply nourishes your hair while the lightweight formula ensure ultimate freedom from frizz without making your hair feeling lank and heavy.

The Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder Shampoo effortlessly cleanses your hair, lathering up into soft frothy bubbles. Infused with aloe water it gently cleans your hair while locking in moisture and nourishing your locks from root to tip.




The conditioner is rich yet lightweight, perfect for my type of hair. Many conditioners fight frizz with thick moisturiser and oils which inevitable weigh your hair down, not so with this bad boy.

It repairs and replenishes deeply but leaves your hair feeling light.




The biggest culprit in creating lank, heavy locks is the cream or serum I apply to my hair once its been blow dried.

I needn’t worry any more as the Featherlight Smoothing Cream is wonderfully soft and light in texture.




I prefer to use this on dry hair though you can use on damp hair too, simply apply sparingly where needed along the lengths of your locks to ensure all day protection against frizz and flyaway hairs.

It works to hydrate and keep your hair looking and feeling healthy without weighing it down.

The whole range smells divine too thanks to its refreshing, citrus scent with warm amber undertones.




I’m super impressed by this collection and SO GLAD the guys at John Frieda saw our plight and decided to help!

Panasonic EH-NA98 Nanoe Double Mineral Advanced Hair Dryer


If you’re in the market for a new hairdryer I implore you to read this post.

When is a hairdryer more than just a hairdryer? When it is the Panasonic EH-NA98 Nanoe Double Mineral Advanced Hair Dryer.

This impressively named dryer is so much more than just your regular hair dryer.




This advanced tool is designed to tackle the visible signs of hair damage such as lack of shine, frizz, dryness, dullness and split ends.

WHAT!?

I know, I hear ya. “But how?!”

Well let me explain.




This sleek dryer features Panasonic’s Nanoe Double Mineral technology. Double mineral means ions are generated by two zinc electrodes.

These ions penetrate your hair with moisture and tightens the cuticle to keep your locks healthy and elastic whilst also making your hair more damage resistant over time.

The Nanoe aspect is generated by collecting the available moisture in the air. In environments of low temperature and low humidity, moisture becomes difficult to collect. When this occurs, negative ions and generated and these ions are wrapped in water that are invisible to the naked eye.




The dryer uses the electrostatically atomised water molecules to infuse nano-sized moisture into the hair helping it to maintain its natural balance, resulting in healthy, beautiful looking locks that become more resistant to damage over time.

This Nanoe technology is proven to reduce visible hair damage caused by brushing, actively eliminate static, reduce frizz and improve the shine of your hair.

In tests an impressive 88% of users noticed a visible improvement in the condition of their split ends after 5 weeks worth of use.





I didn’t even know a hair dryer could be capable of such incredible hair care results!

The device itself is lightweight, sleek and features a very on-trend rose gold nozzle and detailing.

The dryer is packed full of an impressive array of features, designed to allow you to fully tailor your hair drying experience.

As with most devices it features three power settings where you can choose from gentle airflow, strong airflow or very strong.




Unlike the majority of other dryers it also has FIVE additional settings.

Upon turning the device on it automatically reverts to the ‘Hot’ setting, which as you may expect results in hot air being blown from the outlet.

When the power mode is either set to strong or very strong, you then have the option of pressing and holding the ‘mode’ button located near the top side of the dryer.




Press and hold to switch the mode from hot to ‘hot/cold’ alternating.

In this mode, the appliance detects the surrounding air temperate and switches between hot and cold at appropriate intervals.

Using this setting when your hair is 90% dry with result in added shine, plus offering a blast of the ‘cold’ mode will allow your hair to set and your blowdry to last longer.

Winner!




Another handy mode is the ‘scalp care’ option.

After drying your hair moisture can often remain on your scalp resulting in discomfort or stickiness, so once your hair is roughly 70% dried switch to the scalp mode and the dryer will gently blow air at approximately 50 degrees to banish any additional moisture.

Is there anything this hair dryer can’t do? Seemingly not. Read on!

You may already be familiar with such useage, though I must confess I haven’t, but this device also has a ‘skincare’ mode.




Perhaps its not SO surprising, after all, once you’ve bathed or showered its not only your hair that requires drying but your body too, so why not take advantage of the dryers nano technology to lock moisture into your skin too?

Place the air outlet at around 20cm away from your skin and move the appliance to the left and right to create a whole new way of drying your skin! Genius!

I am so incredibly impressed by this nanoe and Double Mineral Ions dryer.




Effortless to use, easy to navigate and complete with detailed instructions on each and every setting it is just flawless.

My hair has never looked better or felt softer and I love drying my hair knowing that as well as creating shiny locks, I’m also helping to prevent any further damage. 

How many other people can say that their hair dryer does this?

The Panasonic EH-NA98 Nanoe Double Mineral Advanced Hair Dryer is available now from Very where it is currently on offer for £130, down from the usual RRP of £180.
