Aussie Dual Personality Curl Definition Soft Feel Serum
by MissKing91
I have unmanageable hair, it doesn't do as it told, its not always curly it can range from a Frizzy fluffy mess to a defined curls all by itself, if its was possible i would say that my hair has its own personality!
However I found Aussie curly hair serum!
I have always liked Aussie hair products i love the smell, ... the way they make your hair feel and the shine afterwards but i only ever treat myself to them as they are expensive until B&M started supplying them a lot cheaper than boots, tesco and superdrug which are in my nearest town.
I asked my hairdresser is their anything i can do to make my hair more manageable and defined curls as I'm not very good with hair styles its either down or in a pony tail and she recommend Aussie Curl Serum, so i begrudgingly made my way to buy some.
But mere words cannot describe what it does to my unmanageable mane, I apply it so my damp hair, I put a coin sized amount which to me is 2 squirts rub in into my hands and work it through my hair but not going near the roots as it makes my hair greasy. I then sometimes comb my hair or just leave it but 9/10 times i leave it dry naturally.
The outcome
The fluffy frizziness has gone, its shiny, not heavy, not greasy and my curls are defined and there is more of them. The best thing about this product is it doesn't leave residue in your hair like mousse or hair spray which i don't often use, i can still with ease the next day brush my hair, put it up in a bobble and doesn't feel sticky or needs washing again!
I would recommend this product to anyone who has unmanageable hair to use on a daily basis and doesn't really have a clue how to style. I also use from the Aussie range the curly mousse for when i do go out dancing etc and i find that works well with this product.

Avon Advance Techniques Colour Protection Heat Infusion Treatment
by zombieflesh
I bought a set of this Avon Advance Techniques Colour Protect Heat Infusion Treatment (HIT) some time ago and have only just got around to using them. I think it might have been repackaged by Avon as Dooyoo have recommended I write my review here, but my product has a slightly different appearance and packaging. You can purchase Avon ... products online at www.avonshop.co.uk or place an order through your local Avon lady.
Product description: "Warms on contact with wet hair to infuse deep penetrating conditioners, leaving your hair smooth, healthy and vibrant."
Recommended directions for use: Shampoo and condition as normal. Open and dispense whole ampoule onto scalp, roots and ends. Leave for 3 minutes, then rinse off.
The product comes in a slim white box with an instructions sheet inside detailing the directions for use as stated above. Inside there are 3 single use bottles with twist-off lids that each contain 15mls of the treatment. I have long hair but it's quite thin so the 15ml amount is enough to get a good coverage all over. I used this as recommended, after washing and conditioning my hair using my regular products. The treatment is very thin and runny, and feels a bit oily. I tried pouring it into my hands and then transferring onto my hair, but this often resulted in me spilling some and it going straight into my bathwater. It is a bit easier to use the tip of the bottle to apply it directly onto my hair.
The Heat Infusion Treatment lives up to its name, as it actually begins to heat up very quickly after coming into contact with body heat from my hands or scalp. I could feel this as it happened and assume that this helps to give some additional stimulation to the hair and enable the treatment to penetrate deeper into the hairs and work more effectively. The heated feeling fades away quickly so it's not uncomfortable during the 3 minute waiting period. After washing this out of my hair I did not notice any improvements at all, so I wasn't sure how well it had actually worked. When my hair had fully dried it felt nice and smooth but it still looked a little on the frizzy side, and didn't have the sleek finish that I was hoping for. I usually just straighten my hair to get it looking neat and tidy for at work, and it was after I had straightened my hair that I really began to notice the benefits of using the Heat Infusion Treatment.
I tend to demand a lot from my hair products as I'm quite fussy and my hair has many different needs and requirements. I have thin hair that is prone to getting greasy at the roots and frizzy at the ends. Added to that I've been dyeing my hair every few weeks to maintain my new ginger colour, and I've started to see signs of split ends and breakage. When I've used this Colour Protect Hit it seems to intensely condition my hair and I get fantastic results after styling. It does not weigh my hair down at all so I get a lovely weightless finish with more movement to my hair. I mean like full on hair care advert levels of hair swishing! My hair also feels super soft and smooth as silk, aside from the split ends which of course are past a point of repair and just need a trim. This treatment seems to bring my hair back to life and after a heavy regime of dyeing it helps to nourish and revitalise my hair back into what can pass for good condition. As an extra added bonus, the treatment left my hair scented with a light, sweet fragrance that is pretty and subtle, and I kept catching hints of it throughout the day.
I have tried looking for this Advance Techniques Colour Protect Heat Infusion Treatment recently but have been unable to find it through Avon's current catalogue. As I said earlier, I think it might have been redesigned, but I hope it hasn't been phased out completely as it's an excellent quick treatment that gives my colour treated hair a real boost and greatly improves the condition when I'm styling it.

Dove Intensive Repair Regenerating Mask
by pinklady1
Dove is one of my favourite brands and I like to work my way through them since the brand do produce lots of items. I usually either buy one I haven't bought before or one I like quite a lot. This one I spotted on special offer so thought I would give it a go since I like to treat my hair a couple of times a week to keep it looking as ... nice as possible and in a good condition.
The mask comes inside a white very sturdy plastic tub which is kind of triangle shape but with a curved edge and looks quite attractive for a tub in my opinion. The name is clearly on the tub, so can easily be spotted on a shelf.
The lid can easily be twisted on and off. Inside the tub it is a white cream which is quite rich and not a runny consistency. It doesn't drip from the tub when scooping it out etc. It feels incredibly soft and it has a smooth texture to it and feels creamy.
It has a really nice fragrance to it, has a very nice perfume fragrance to it and smells divine. The scent isn't too overpowering and just the correct amount of scent for a hair mask. I can also detect a slight sweet scent too with this mask but I can mostly detect a perfume scent.
It is really easy to use. First you need to wash your hair with your favourite shampoo, then scoop a generous amount of the cream from the tub and gently massage it into your hair. I have long hair at the moment and so I just scoop a small amount of cream from the tub, then I rub it between my fingers and then I just then gently massage it into my hair starting from the ends of my hair working my way up towards the root area. I do apply a little at a time because I find that way I am not apply too much of the cream on just one area of my hair and find I can cover my hair evenly with the cream. I get a more even coverage applying a little at a time. If you have shorter hair you may find you need to just apply it once to cover your whole head of hair but for my long hair I just find it much easier to use it the way I do for a better coverage.
Once the cream is on the hair, I can immediately feel it is softening it perfectly and it is working its magic. I find it doesn't drip from my hair. Once on the hair it has to be left for around 3 to 5 minutes, I usually leave it for the full 5 minutes but somewhere in between these minutes would be fine too but I do colour my hair, so I like to leave it longer on my hair and find it works far better for my coloured hair.
After the minutes have lapsed, I just rinse it from my hair. It is very easy to rinse from the hair in no time at all and just maybe 30 seconds or so longer than when rinsing a hair conditioner from the hair.
I find when I am rinsing it, I can definitely feel how soft my hair feels and it feels really nice. Once towelled dry, I can easily brush it and style it in the usual way. I find my hair doesn't feel lank or too heavy. It just feels extremely soft and shiny. Very well conditioned and manageable.
It claims to help repair protein in the hair and to boost its resistance to damage. Also to deeply nourish damaged hair to leave it soft and up to 10 times more resilient against future damage. I find it does nourish my hair perfectly, leaves it very well nourished too. Find my hair feels less dry at the ends and it doesn't leave my roots feeling oily or greasy. When I blow dry my hair I don't get that greasy feeling at the back of my hair when I part it, like I do with some other brands of hair masks. Sometimes I get that greasy feeling at the back of my hair when it feels like I haven't rinsed it thoroughly from my hair when I actually have. With this mask I don't get that feeling at all.
I don't have many split ends because I have my hair regularly trimmed. The few that I may have don't even really appear when I treat my hair with this mask. So all good. I think if you do have a few split ends, this mask would most certainly help the appearance be less apparent until you can have your hair trimmed at the hairdressers.
The quality of this mask is excellent, it works a treat for helping my hair remain as nice as possible and in a good condition. My hair flows freely and when I touch it, I can most certainly feel how soft it is and how shiny an appearance it becomes using this hair mask around twice a week.
The tub size is 200ml and I paid just £2.29 for it on special offer from Tesco. It is well worth the price I paid and I also think it is a good value price even for the full price in my opinion because it does work a treat for deep conditioning the hair. It is super value for money and a worthwhile purchase.
I think it is suitable for both sexes to use and not just for women, even though it has a perfume fragrance. I think it is ideal for teenagers to begin taking care of their hair and helping it feel a lot more treated and in a better condition. Men do need to take care of their hair too and the mask would be more than suitable for males to treat their hair too. I think it would definitely help their hair feel far better and help make it look more healthy too with a good shine to it. So any men reading my review don't be put off by the perfume fragrance because the mask will work well with just a nice scent to the hair.
I highly recommend it if you have damaged hair or just want to give it a good boost for deep conditioning it and also nourishing it. I will most definitely buy this one again in the future because once again, Dove haven't let me down once again.
I give this hair mask 5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope it has been of some help.
