BEAUTY: John Frieda - Visibly Brighter

In today's post,  I will be talking about the John Frieda Visibly Brighter, hair lightening treatment.

I was looking at youtube videos and came across a vlogger who had tried out this product and you could see a slight difference in the hair colour. So, I decided that I too wanted to test this product out; especially as it is coming up to summer.

It is one tube with two products in each half. The lighter side has the lightening chemicals in it, such as amonia (which has a strong odour). You can use it before your normal shampoo & conditioner routine. You lather it up in your hair, focusing particularly on the roots of the hair. You then leave it for 5 minutes; and in this time you can do the usual thing: shave your legs/armpits, wash your body, or just sing. One time is up, you simply rinse it out and continue with your hair routine.

In my opinion, I did not see a difference in hair colour and neither could anyone else. Perhaps I should have left it on a little longer to allow the amonia to properly infuse with my hair. I may try this treatment again just to see whether or not it does make my hair go lighter.

Until next time, xo

BEAUTY: Hair Care ready for Summer

We may only be in Spring here in the UK but when the sun is shining it gets me so excited for the Summer!!

There are so many different things that remind me of summer or bring back memories from last summer. Whether that's sun lotion, ice cream, a candle scent or even a song!
This morning, in the shower, I tried the Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner in the scent: Sun Kissed Raspberry.


OH. MY. GOD!


If you ever need a hint of summer in the shower to get you excited, you NEED to try this shampoo and conditioner. It has a sweet scent that definitely reminds me of summertime, being in the sun and eating fresh fruit.

What makes these products GREAT is that they are Paraben free, Silicone free, Colourant free and the packaging is fully recyclable as it's made from 25% recycled plastic!!

If you want to have fresh, beautiful smelling hair that makes you think of the sun, then I would definitely recommend these products. It is also so moisturizing - day 2 and my hair doesn't look or feel greasy!

My haircare routine
I tend to wash my hair every other day so that the natural oils aren't completely stripped. In between washes, if my hair looks oily then I use dry shampoo to freshen it up. I also do a hair mask once a week or fortnight just to ensure I am keeping my head and hair hydrated!!
I will be writing a post just about my hair care routine with all the products that I use, including photos! :)

What products do you use for your hair that remind you of summer?

Until next time, xo.
