I’m the first to admit, I’m not a “hair” person. I envy the way some girls can whizz up perfect hair every day with a mere flick of their straighteners. Sadly I lack the time, patience and styling finesse to create nice hair. I feel I’m doing well if I throw on a box dye and remember to get it cut every couple of months quite frankly.

In the past when I’ve managed to force my locks into something resembling a hairstyle, I always feel ever so slightly self-conscious, like “and where the hell do you think you are with your hair like that then?” My sister’s hair is amazing – she has a mass of tumbling curls which pretty much style themselves, or she will clip it into a fabulous updo with one hairgrip and a flower. And she only has to wash it about once a week. The good hair gene however totally skipped me. My mum has wavy hair and my dad and sister have lovely curls. I got flat limp fine hair, which when blow dried looks like a puff of candy-floss, and when left to dry naturally just turns frizzy and sticks under on one side and out on the other side… It’s my beauty no-go zone.

Given how rubbish I am then , it’s amazing how dry and damaged it can get, something I noticed recently – the ends felt like straw and it was in need of TLC! So, after hearing many raves for this I finally managed to hunt a bottle down in Superdrug for the grand sum of £3.99.

The formula contains Argan Oil and is enriched with vitamin E, and you get 50mls in a bottle. Considering you only use a smidge each time, I’m expecting this bottle to last a good 5-6 months.

I’ve been using it on both wet hair prior to blow drying , and on dry hair to add a bit of extra moisture through the ends – I use about 6-8 drops per time, although a bit of trial and error might be needed as the amount you need will obviously depend on condition, thickness etc of your hair…

Initially when using this I did feel a little bit “meh” about this product, as it didn’t seem to be doing much, but I perservered, and did start noticing some positive changes in the condition of my hair. It started to look less dull and more shiny, and the ends definitely started to feel smoother as I continued to use it. This also didn’t make my hair feel greasy at all, but like I say, common sense would dictate not to use it by the roots.

Verdict – This gives good results over time if you persevere with it, but those looking for a quick fix may need something more along the deep conditioning lines… Worked fine on my fine hair, didn’t weigh it down, and very good value for money.

Have you tried this?
