I used argan oil in my hair for the first time today,
and I’m really loving the results so far :)
My hair feels super super soft and it helps get rid of my flyaway’s. I’m going to use it for the rest of the week and see how it works out. Hopefully it will make my hair alot stronger as it has a lot of nourishment’s in it.
I definitely recommend it to anyone with dry/britle or damaged hair. Or even if you just want a bit of extra shine. There’s so many brands that do argan oil. Its basically the exact same as moroccan oil which is really popular.

Castor Oil Hair Growth Treatment
Below is a castor oil treatment that works well for people experiencing hair loss or hair thinning:
- Apply the oil to your scalp and hair roots.
- Wear a plastic cap.
- Use a towel to wrap your hair.
- Leave the oil in your hair overnight.
- In the morning, shampoo your hair for removing the oil making sure that your scalp is clean.
You would want to use this castor oil hair growth treatment once or more a week for six to eight weeks to notice a difference in hair loss or thinning. Don’t use castor oil full-strength to other areas of your hair, as it may be difficult to rinse off thoroughly due to its consistency.

Today I tried something new. I washed my hair with the Wella pro-series shampoo (Repair). After that I let my hair dry a bit.
While my hair dryed I took a towel and placed it in the sink. I’ve boiled water and poured it on that towel.
Next I’ve took a lot of conditioner (Wella Pro Series Conditioner Repair). I did it on my hair, I wrapped my hair with tinfoil.
I placed the towel on the tinfoil and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
I’ve rinsed my hair well (because I’ve used a lot of conditioner) and let it airdry.
At the end I’ve used one dose of Novocrin Vitamin Hair Flued.
Now…My hair is supersoft again! Woohoo!! Mission accomplished!
Miracle
I use It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product. It is the best product I’ve found so far and definitely worth the price. This one is pink and its the one i have but its the exact same as the blue one. Its just pink for breast cancer awareness. It does 10 things:
1. Repairs damage
2. Adds shine
3. Detangles
4. Prevents frizz
5. Protects hair color
6. Prevents split ends
7. Stops breakage
8. Adds silkiness
9. Enhances body
10. Heat protector
You spray it all throughout wet hair, comb through, and style. It has made my hair so much healthier!

Where did you buy it: LUSH cosmetic stores
Price: $10.95
What is your hair like: curly and thick, shoulder length
What is the product supposed to do: The product contains real seaweed, which moisturizes and adds smoothness and shine to the hair, and gives a very good clean feeling
Points out of 10: 8
Biggest + : the bar lasts a long time, 90 washes, which since I don’t wash my hair with it every day my last bar lasted 5 or 6 months. It’s easy to use, and leaves my hair feeling great, plus it’s completely natural!
Biggest - : A little pricey compared to other shampoos I’ve bought. And when you first get it, it can leave a blue stain wherever you put it when it’s wet(this washes away!)
How did you use the product : You can break off pieces and make a lather out of it, or just rub it on your hair. I rub it on my hair and I use the edge to get between layers to my scalp, since my hair is very thick.
Will you buy it again : I’ve bought it twice already, and I absolutely love it. I will definitely continue buying this product.

Name of the product: New
Where did you buy it: LUSH
Price: £5
What is your hair like: i think my hair is thin, but a few people have said it’s thick, but i don’t have a lot of volume in my hair. When i started to use this product my hair came down the the base of my skull in length. It’s about 4 months down the line, and my hair is now at the bottom of my neck.
What is the product supposed to do: The product is meant to encourage hair growth as well as being a shampoo.
Points out of 10: 10
Biggest + : my hair has grown a lot faster since using this product, also it’s lasted ages.
Biggest - : my scalp is still a bit itchy, so i have combined my routine in the shower with another LUSH product to help combat that.
How did you use the product : New is so easy to use, it looks like a soap, and you use it pretty much like a soap, wet it, lather up on your hands, then rub into your hair like you would liquid shampoo. Then rinse. It leaves my hair feeling so light and clean.
Will you buy it again : oh yes :)
