My hair ritual

While I will admit to having pretty good hair, even with the abuse of dyeing it black every 8 weeks, I was keen to try Ojon and really wanted too try the original - Damage Reverse!
This has a pretty big cult following on the internet, in the US especially it is generally hailed as a 'can't live without' hair range!
 The little pot at the front of this picture is the product that started it all, it contains Ojon oil, which is an ancient oil said to restore hair back to virgin quality (not colour obviously!) and thanks to a fantastic deal on the Ojon website I got the shampoo and conditioner when I purchased the pot of Restorative Hair Treatment!

This is the shampoo, conditioner and the treatment as it is straight out of the pot. The shampoo is rich and doesn't need an awful lot to get a good wash. The conditioner is thick and lovely and designed for use from scalp to ends.

The treatment is really an oil and you emulsify it in your hands before applying to your hair, depending on your hair you generally need a teaspoon and a half of products, it comes with a handy little scoop. Personally I have to use two and a half teaspoons as my hair is thick.

This is the spray that I use after, it adds shine and is repairing and conditioning.

The only downside to my ritual is the smell of the treatment, it stinks, of bonfires! But the smell doesn't linger once washed out and the result on my hair is totally worth it! Soft, shiny and full of body. I can't imagine ever going back to another brand apart from when I need to prep my hair for colour! There is lots more from this range I am wanting to try, so watch this space! Ojon is available direct from here or also sets are available from QVC

Cheap hair goodies

I am not loyal to brands, nor products. But if I find something I love I stock up, especially when its cheap. The links here are for Amazon, but Superdrug stock them, as do my local 99p store, score!

This Shampoo and conditioner are amazing. They retail for £1.99 each in Superdrug but they often do half price deals. Bargain century! I have never bought products for dry hair before, but was tempted by the breakage promise on the bottle. On using, well it was a revelation. I love the smell, it lathers nicely and the shampoo is rich and luxurious. The conditioner is thick and clings well.

All well and good, but oh my, once my hair was dry *hello shine*! Amazing, so I went and bought 4 bottles of each when they were half price in Superdrug!

Underated!

So I decided to try this shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. They are ok, but don't seem to do much more for my coloured hair than the ones above!

What to do on a bank holiday monday....

Dye my hair with L'oreal Sublime Mousse

This pic prompted me into action, part grey, part

brown, part black, lovely.

I look impressed don't I? Now usually I rely on the Original Mad Mother to do

my hair, but she hates it and also dyed my carpet (living room btw!) a lovely shade of blue/black!

So it was down to me, and the mousse!

Its impeccably easy to mix, no more getting Mr Mad to shake until mixed, the formula means I don't have to buy two bottles, although that was post lopping 6 inches off.

It is virtually mess free, I do need to wipe my ears and shoulders but no more drips all over the floor, wall, my back, clothes etc.

But...... the wait, 30 minutes *yawn* Clearly I had got used to my excelle 10! So I sat playing with my phone for 25 minutes on the loo, fun fun fun!

This shows how non drip it is. It clings well to hair

I do not worry about slidage, it feels well and truly

stuck to the hair. Easier than most to rinse too,

but the conditioner that comes with it stinks, I mean stinks! Far worse than the dye, which after the cat wee smell has gone, is pretty ok.

I do use the conditioner but with this one I wish I hadn't bothered. My hair felt awful so used this

as well.

Tomorrow I shall post a before and after to show grey coverage and shine
