So just over a month ago I went no poo. I was so excited to try this, looking forward to long, healthy locks and reducing my chemical footprint on the eco system and less chemical intake into my body. I thought I could do it, how hard could it be not to use shampoo and have dirty hair for longer than it was clean. I'll tell you, hard. I quit no poo. I'm sorry I just had too! I so badly wanted this to work for me. I had done so much research, joined groups, bought special brushes, tea bags for rinses, raw honey, bentonite caly. But I just couldn't deal. It was taking me so much longer to wash my hair, making sure I got my scalp clean, spraying in my ACV rinse, washing everything out super duper well. I would have one maybe 2 good hair days a week and the rest of the time I had to have my hair scraped back in a high bun hiding my hideous mane. I was also OBSESSED ! I mean all I did was think about my hair. Check the facebook page continuously, experiment to no avail. It was i...

Finally, here is my review of the Roots hair treatment mask that I've been meaning to post for months! I've long since finished the pot and when I took my photo's I was down to the last two uses I think! Enjoy! Information Brand | Lush Product | Roots Hair Treatment Size | 225g Price | £10.25 Made in | UK Would I re-purchase | Yes! ^Ingredients List^ I have always been a lover of hair mask, especially ones that smell good, and this smells amazing! Its so minty and fresh with a hint of grapefruit. I like to reserve this as a special treat for bath times :) The directions say to use on dry hair and massage into the scalp for 15 to 20 minutes but I found that this didn't work particularly well for me it just felt all snaggy and horrible. So I decided to try it on wet hair before shampooing and it worked so much better. It has such a cooling fresh feeling on the scalp. I like to massage it in for about 5 to 10 minutes then leave it in for another 10 before soaking it out, f...

Since going no poo, I've become a little more conscious about what I'm putting on my skin and as I've wanted to try a beauty box, the  LOVE LULA BEAUTY BOX  stood out as it selects organic and natural beauty products to try out. For a pay monthy subscription its £12.50, 3 monthly £37.50 and a year is £150. I have a 3 month subscription gifted to me by my dad for Christmas and this is my first box!  I used this exfoliating cleanser the other day and is smells really lovely and is a pretty good exfoliate, I had some dry skin on my nose that just didn't want to budge, after using this its gone. I hope to do a first impressions on the Funny Bee BB cream soon, and this is a little sample of the Vinali day cream. I tried this out the other day, the scent isn't all that and its very very thick but seemed to do a pretty good job. So far I love this hand cream! Oh my gosh it smells amazing! It has a strong lavender scent even though its meant to be rose scented (it does cont...

On the 5th of December last year I quit shampoo and took up a more natural approach to hair care. This last month has been full of ups and downs and many many bad hair days. And I fear I have yet more bad hair days to come. For those of you who read my last post I have been using a completely natural shampoo bar by J.R Liggetts and an Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinse to wash and condition my hair. After my very first wash may hair was...different. It felt waxy and thick and heavy so I smoothed it into a side plait and left it be. Day 2 my hair was way greasy! But I soldiered on knowing I shouldn't wash it straight away. The second time I washed my hair it was again iffy, the roots were fine it was just the length of my hair that was waxy feeling like I hadn't washed everything out of it, but it was not as bad as before, and the day after it looked much better. Every time since then it has washed better and better to a point where it looks nice enough on my wash days now. Any oth...
