I got this product for my birthday, but have only just got around to trying it out, mostly because I kept promising myself that I would get my hair cut first (which I still haven't got around to) and also because I found the idea of putting my own high lights in a bit intimidating (I was worried I'd either end up with streaks of green, or that the extra lightner solution would cause the bits I tried to streak to fall out). WHAT IT DOES. Umberto Giannini Lights Colours is basically a fancy permanent hair dye kit, which offers the optional extra of highlights. It advertises itself as 'salon style colouring at home' and states that it will ...  Read the complete review

** This review is on three main Umberto Giannini products, the curl shampoo, conditioner and scrunching gel all from the curl friends range - the range I use!! he he ** From having naturally wavy/curly hair i find it very hard to tame my locks! Since buying a pair of ceramic straightners I've found myself straightning my curls out all the time after washing my hair but I've recently realised that by doing this I'm losing my curls which makes my hair even harder to look after when I come out of the shower! If I keep on using my straightners after washing my locks, not only will my hair become damaged, I will also loose my curls. Many people with curly hair ...  Read the complete review

I am so glad I decided to try this shampoo a couple of weeks ago, because it really is fantastic. I've never tried these products before, to be honest, my reasoning for this was that I'm not particularly into expensive hair products, and the bottles are a bit dodgy-looking. But a couple of weeks ago I found some on "buy 1 get 1 free" offer, and I was in a silly mood and wanting phallic-shaped bottles so I went for it. My hair was absolutely fine, and washing it with Organics was a pleasure until they changed the recipe and it went horrible about a year ago, and I haven't really found a decent replacement. Until now. I have ...  Read the complete review

Apparently more relationships end in November than in any other month, and I can tell you that it's true. My love affair with Nicky Clarke, or more accurately his Colour Therapy range, had come to an end, or at least the bottles had ran out. So I found myself at the haircare counter of my local Boots. Now I could have bought the same shampoo and conditioner but that would have been a little boring wouldn't it? Not to mention that I wouldn't have something to tell you all about today. So I looked around for a new object of my affections and that's when I spotted Umberto Giannini's range. It was looking kind of slick and flash with it's ...  Read the complete review

The packaging tells you that this range of products actually does what I says. If this is indeed true, this is great news. This is part of the Umberto Giannini Curl Friends range. They claim to give you beautiful, frizz free, curly hair, with incredible shine and movement. Curl Friends, styles and holds curls and waves. It also states that the products are for natural, permed or heat styled hair. One thing I don't like is the instructions for use. The instructions are to: apply the mouse to towel dried hair. Ensure mouse is worked evenly through hair before styling, finger shape or scrunch dry to create maximum curl effect. It would have been more ...  Read the complete review
