I’ve been a fan of Umberto Giannini products long before my beauty obsession began.  I remember recieving a set of the Sleek & Chic range for christmas and all the other haircare I had were cast aside.  My favourite out of the range was the Sleek & Chic Blow Dry Cream but on recent trips to Boots it was nowhere to be seen.  In a moment of panic that my favourite styling product had been discontinued, I contacted Umberto Giannini and it turns out the range has been reformulated and repackaged into the Frizzi* range, hurray!  The lovely people at Umberto Giannini offered to send over the product and imagine my surprise when the full range arrived at my door!  For the past few weeks I’ve been testing out each of the products in conjunction with the shampoo and conditioner to help you decide which styling product from the range will suit you best.

No matter what your hair type, colour, length or style is, we bet you’re searching for that wonder product to sort out your hair nightmare.  We had both been looking for something to really add a bit of life and shine back into our dull locks and we found it in the form of these two lovely products. The Chroma Riche range from Kerastase delivers a blast of shine and protection to coloured or dull hair.  The range is primarily for those with coloured hair, but also works wonders for hair that’s looking a little more lackluster than luxurious.

Believe us when we say we put this to the ultimate test.  As Sami had recently highlighted her hair, the Bain Chroma Riche Shampoo* really helped her maintain a rich healthy vibrancy to the colour without weighing the hair down.  Whereas Lisa (who has never dyed her hair) is stuck somewhere in between shades so feels her hair can look quite dull.  The Chroma Riche Treatment Masque* really helped add shine and life back into her hair.  Rambling aside, we were both thrilled with the results we achieved when using these products.  Even more exciting one of our lucky readers is in with the chance of winning a Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment from the Kerastase range courtesy of Bellezo.com, one of the UK’s top quality suppliers of hair and beauty products from a wide range of haircare brands!

They say that without using good quality make up brushes, your products won’t perform well and it’s safe to say the same applies with hairdryers.  You could spend ages applying your favourite shampoo and conditioner and all the argan oils in the world in the hope for a lovely sleek look but ultimately your hairdryer is in charge.  Without the right heat and speed settings suited to your hair, all that hard work might leave you with a frizzy mess.  We’ve been trying out the TONI&GUY Touch Control Hairdryer* for over 2 months and here’s how we’ve got on.

Sadly, the music festival season is non existant for me this year.  For the past three years I’ve been to both Glastonbury and T In the Park and along the way I’ve came up with some helpful tips on how to keep your hair lasting throughout the whole time.  As someone who has to wash their hair everyday it was tough adjusting to the fact that I’d be unable to wash it for 4 or 5 days, eek!  Of course I’d be armed with my Batiste Dry Shampoo incase of emergencies but I came up with a solution on how to make it last even longer.
