Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray Review

I bought this after seeing someone sporting gorgeous wavy hair, and thought I too would be able to achieve this look. She kindly let me use some and I couldnt wait to look like id misplaced my surf board - Turns out not. 

* Good points *

Packaging - I love the fact everything from this range is pink - not only is it realllllly easy to find in Boots, but it also looks nice on my dressing table. Well it would if i kept it there but i don't.

Price - For a hair product this isn't to bad let's face it, plus theres always some sort of 3 for 2 or similar offer on so its actually unlikely you'd pay full price for this

* Not so good points *

I don't like it - it made my hair feel greasy straight away, and added too much weight meaning my naturally wavy hair dropped. After several attempts using different amount of product and different application techniques i realised this product just isn't for me. That doesn't necessarily mean this is a bad product, because as i said initially, i first discovered this after seeing my friend with gorgeous beach waves. 

What I will say is if you want to try this product, do use a friend's first (if possible) because I wasted £7.99 on something ill never use again.

I won't be repurchasing this, however there are still a number of things from this brand i want to try - the hair growth treatments in particular

Has anyone tried anything from this range that they could recommend?

You can buy this for £7.99 here

A Hair Transformation...

During the winter, i dyed my hair a dark brown a couple of times (not as much as i should have done if i was doing root upkeep) as everyone said i suited my hair much more when it was darker (and there just so happened to be a brown hair dye on offer)

I then decided i wanted to be more my natural colour (which is dark ash blonde), so i basically didn't dye my hair for ages, leaving it to fade. I then found out about John Frieda Go Blonde thanks to MissBudgetBeauty , and it sounded perfect for me. I didn't want to full on dye my hair, just naturally lighten it (you know like when people come back from holiday?)

I started off by applying the shampoo, leaving that on while i exfoliated and washed etc, then leaving the conditioner on for a hour in a shower cap, which worked really well. I then just used it as a normal shampoo and conditioner, leaving the conditioner in only while i washed. After a few days i could see a noticeable difference.

It then just so happened my best friend's friend is training to be a hairdresser, and wanted people to train on, which resulted in me getting some highlights (not a full head, just some subtle ones under my parting). After using the John Frieda Go Blonde for 2 weeks, and then getting a few highlights, this is what my hair now looks like...

(I'm on the left)

I have continued to use the John Frieda, which along with the little bit of sun we've had has made my highlights even lighter, and although I've found this product to be everything and more than i hoped, i won't be repurchasing purely for the fact i like what its done so far, and i don't want to go too light.

So there we are, my hair is now a miss mash of lighter colours, much closer to my natural colour, and hopefully my roots won't be too bad!

Let me know what you think !

a change of colour

On new years eve i made the dreadful mistake of dying my hair with a dye which was on offer for £1.99, and consequently turned my hair an unflattering brown with a tint of red. Initially it looked okay, but at the red faded ill be honest it looked cheap and chavvy. 

SO, i took it upon myself to fix the problem, and heres what happened...

Before:

I used Garnier and the shade was shade 4, dark brown, which you can see here :

After:

my hair is much darker, which does require a bit more eyebrow work, but its worth it! 

What do you think?
