Argan Secret's Argan Oil | Product Review

As a girl who knows all too well of the not-so-fabulous results caused by too much hair-drying, straightening, curling and impatient rough-brushing of hair, I have recently began to focus my efforts on treating my tousled tresses with the respect they deserve. This has meant scouring through various products with similar promises of "anti-frizz", "split-end repair" and "added shine" - most of which were no match for my (back then) very long, thick and partially dry hair. That was until a few weeks ago when I had my hair trimmed and the hairdresser pulled out this bad boy.

What initially attracted me to this product was it's lovely smell (now I'm not an expert in the description of scents but I would say it has a very soft, subtle and almost vanilla fragrance) which lasted most of the day. What I then loved about the product was just how soft and feathery it made my hair feel - it was a struggle to resist stroking it all day - and also the added shine it gave my hair.

I have since purchased my own bottle and I have been using it after every wash (adding just less than a full pump to my finger tips and working it through the ends of towel-dried hair) and I am still just as thrilled with the results. In fact, after using the product for a few weeks, I have even noticed a substantial reduction in my split ends. Fab!

I now look forward to trying out some of the other products in their line.

Have you any experiences with this product line? What are some of your favourite hair treatments? 

Short & Sweet

So, not only have I given my wee blog a bit of an image change but I have given myself one too!

After a few years of having long/medium hair, I decided that I would go for something a bit different and get it much much shorter. There were several reasons: my hair was getting too long and thick to effectively manage and style, my ends were splitting due to the constant brushing as my hair would often tangle, it's been very warm recently and my hair was just too too warm and finally, I just felt like a change. 

There are going to be many changes happening in my life in the coming weeks as I head off to university, live on my own for the first time, meet new people, go to new places, learn new things etc. and so I thought, why not change my hair too?

Isn't it funny what a new haircut can do for your confidence and perspective? The cliche, "It's like a new me" is one that I am unashamedly embracing at the moment.

Change isn't so bad I guess - especially when it means you can save on a bucket load of shampoo.
