Haircare | Frizz Ease Review

Hey Lovelies! 
Firstly I don't think I mentioned this in my last post but I just want to say a hugeeee Thank you as I recently hit 500 followers! Its so crazy to think 500 of you read what I write! So Thank you! 

Right, now onto the post! I was recently contacted and asked if I would like to review A few bit from John Frieda's range Frizz Ease. Although I do religiously use my Kera Care Shampoo and Conditioner (you can see my review of that range here) I do use a few bits from Frizz Ease already to style my hair like the 3 day straight, which I love. So I was more than happy to mix it up a bit and try something different. 

Smooth Start Shampoo. Secret Agent. Smooth Start Conditioner *

Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

'For smooth, easy styling. Replenishes moisture and restores hair's natural frizz defence'

The first thing I noticed after washing and drying my hair with these two was how soft my hair actually was. This is something I missed when I started using my Kera Care stuff, although I know it does good for my hair, its never left amazingly soft, whereas with this it really did. It was quite easy to style my hair as well, almost like my hair was just a bit more willing to comply. However after using these several times I still have to say I prefer my Kera Care Shampoo and conditioner, other than the superficial stuff the actual quality of my hair was a lot better when I was using my other shampoo and conditioner. 

Secret Agent Perfecting Créme 

'For a flawless shine finish. Use anywhere, anytime. With UV filter.'

I use this on my hair when its dry and whenever its looking a little frizzy and I really feel like it tames my hair. You only need the smallest amount, too much and you just end up looking all creasy. I feel like it controls my hair and If I'm wearing my hair straight or in style then I seem to always have this in my bag with me just incase. Out of the three things I received this was definitely my favourites and the one I will repurchase.

Although I liked the Shampoo and Conditioner and I think they do they're job well I just don't think they did enough for my afro hair, but they would probably work brilliantly for other people. I'm sure I will use up these products and keep them if for some reason I don't have my normal Shampoo. 

Review | Kera Care Haircare Range | Conditioner, Heat Protector and Masque

Hey Lovelies,
 This is going to be part 2 of my review of the Kera Care haircare range. You can view part one here.

Leave-in Conditioner

 'A powerful instant Moisturizing Complex that works like 3 conditioners in one. Improves the surface properties of hair. Protects against thermal and mechanical damage. Contains sunscreens to protect against the sun’s UV rays.'

 This was one of the original products I purchased at the recommendation of my hairdresser. She referred to it as 'the holy grail of products' and that was good enough for me. I don't know about any of you guys out there but I have this issue with products leaving my hair feeling thick, greasy and weighed down, and I know sometimes afro hair products can do this as they are so moisturising. But she assured me that as long as you only use as  much as is recommended (a coin sized amount) that this wouldn't happen, and she was right. I apply this to damp towel dried hair and honestly it does wonders, it doesn't weigh my hair down or leave it greasy. It almost feels like my hair sucks it up!

Strengthening Thermal Protector

'A leave-in lotion with UV protection that notably improves elasticity during thermal styling. Enriched with strengthening ceramides that leave hair significantly stronger.'

Again this was another of the original products I picked up. Before I started using this my hair seemed to break very easily, even though I was using thermal protectors they never seemed to keep my hair in decent condition. My hair never seemed to grow because it was constantly breaking. Since I've been using this product I've noticed my hair has grown past that 'set length' and that its in better condition for it. I also used this product when I went on holiday over the summer and I was stunned by the results. Usually the combination of heat, sun exposure and being in and out of water wrecks my hair leaving it dry and brittle. But this year I applied a small amount to my hair every day and my hair was left so soft and so manageable  and I think that in particular is down to this product! 

Intensive Restorative Masque

'the Intensive Restorative Masque strengthen the hair and improve elasticity, it also conditions the hair making it more manageable, soft and silky.'

This was the latest of my products, so I cant yet share the long term benefits of this product with you guys but I can certainly share the immediate effects. I've never really been into hair masques and this is my second one, I used to leave my conditioner on my hair for around 20 minutes but after another 'chat' with my hairdresser she advised that I try something that's more of a deep treatment. I use this instead of a conditioner, so I tend to alternate week from week. I use about an egg-cup size after shampooing and leave it on my hair for about half an hour, or for as long as possible. After I wash it out my hair is Unbelievably soft and so easy to manage. The same with the conditioner I find it really helps with blow-drying my hair and speeds up the whole process. 

In summary after these looooong posts! I'm a huge fan of the Kera Care range, they are brilliant for my hair type and have done wonders for my hair.
