Percy & Reed Finishing Polish
by TukTukTuk "Flawless is a big word, but this little bottle delivers. This gentle styler containing horse chestnut extract gives you a soft, flexible hold while sunflower wax gently moisturises. Knock 'em dead." I've heard of Percy and Reed, but it's never been a brand which I followed. I got this free with an issue of ... Glamour Magazine two months ago. I was thinking why not to try it for 2 Pounds for an issue you can't do anything wrong. I always use a serum on my hair to tame the frizz caused by damage and lack of visits to the hairdressers. HOW TO USE Use a pea sized amount on hair to smooth, control or groom unruly hair. Use a little more to add definition and hold. MY EXPERIENCE I really like the simplicity of the packaging and illustration. It's cute and contemporary without being cheesy. The consistency is really like that of a cream. It's white and thick and smells fresh and fruity. I put a small amount into my hands and then dispersed the cream in my hands and then smoothed it over my hair. I got very fine hair and this product gives a little bit more texture and hold.Since using the product I've also found my hair has been less tangled and dry at the end. The tiniest amount of this product goes a very long way and it has a delightful scent which last for days. This will last you forever as you need so little so very good value. But I must honestly say that I can not see any big difference to a normal day cream. I recommed this finishing polish for thick and/or curly hair. I won't buy this product again, because I know better products than this one. The full size Finishing Polish is £10.00 for 125ml, so spending £2.00 on Glamour for 100ml is well worth it.

Percy & Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask
by prettypolly40 ***Why I want the product?*** For around eight years my hair has been bob length or shorter with layers. I just liked the way it was easy to manage, no fuss and easy to style. But even after so many years of the same style I began to get very board and tired of the same look, I wanted something more. In the 'being board phase' I ... highlighted my hair until I got board of the costly treatments every six weeks so I converted back to my natural colour and bob length hair. Looking in newspapers, magazines and TV all of a sudden I kept noticing every woman seemed to have longer, shiner, bouncer and healthier hair. Even those 'celebrities' who had shorter hair all of a sudden it grew five inches or longer over night, everyone also looked like they just came out of a Timotei advert where they are flicking their hair all over the place. I realised what I had been missing all these years, long hair. I wanted longer hair and from that day that was what I set out to do, grow my hair. My bob length hair to where it is now, which is to the middle of my back took over a year to grow. When growing my hair longer I forgot how much treatment hair needs to keep it in tip top condition. Due to the usual heat styling tools like hair dryer, hair straightens, curling wands and the weather hair can become dry and damaged. It is important to use a mask on your hair to keep it healthy. Due to that I have always loved using leave in masks and deep conditioning masks no matter my hair length and use them once a week to every fortnight. Unless I find a hair mask that I really love I rarely stick to the same hair mask and like to try different ones. Like the celebrity's and their long hair being everywhere so was this brand called Percy and Reed, who I had never heard of before. I began seeing them on shop shelves, QVCUK, magazines, TV and other advertisements. ***Who are Percy and Reed?*** Paul Percival and Adam Reed are hairdressers and like to be remembered for this fact. Together they have jet-setted around the world working on celebrities and some of the most famous locks around. They decided to take what they both understand about hair and bottle it, literally. So not only can the rich and famous still get lovely cut and blow dry from these lovely two but us mere mortals can also achieve 'the look' without the need of Paul and Adam emptying our bank balances. ***About the product*** Luckily like many of us I received Totally TLC Hydrating Mask from my Glamour magazine and upon this time the thought never even crossed my mind about this brand and did not hold much hope for it either. Percy and Reed say this product is for hair in need of rescue and help to restore vitality while nourishing hydrating from root to tip. ***What are the main ingredients in this product?*** Marshmallow, this ingredient works wonders for strengthening stressed hair. Coconut oil is perfect for deep conditioning, moisturising and restoring healthy hair back to vitality. TLC Hydrating Mask also has the ingredient cetearyl alcohol, which in skin care products has the ability to cause some sensitive skins reaction and can dry the skin out. However, researching this product for the hair I was surprised to find this ingredient has the ability to repair damaged hair. ***Packaging*** I believe the 100ml tube I received is a 'tester' and the retail product in this comes in 175ml tub. However the tube is not much different to the tub in which it consists of the same cream coloured packaging with a thin and tall black and white lady on the front while her think, dark, wavy/curly and soft hair is blowing in the wind. The top of the tube states Percy and Reed London Hair, while the bottom half says what the product is called. Back of the tube tells you a little about the product, directions on how to use, ingredient list and that the product best before is 12 months. ***What does the product look like and stand up?*** Taking of the screw of lid and having a sniff I cannot smell any coconut at all, or marshmallow for that matter, which is disappointing to say it is one of the main ingredients being used. However, it does smell clean, fresh and highly sweet although maybe a little artificial. Taking a small amount to my finger tips the product is white and looks like thick (but light at the same time), whipped cream. It feels very smooth when I apply it to my dry hair (or damp), it glides across my hair easily, smoothly, without dripping, I would say two finger lengths cover a good amount of hair but as my hair is long and thick it soon came apparent I needed more than I thought to cover most of my hair effectively. Due to the ends of my hair getting the most damage this is where I concentrate on first and work my way up. I mostly apply hair masks on dry hair before washing, I like to wrap my hair up in a heated towel to lock in the moisture, and the heat helps the mask to penetrate deeper. The directions say to leave the mask on for 10 minutes, me, instructions and masks never go hand in hand and I believe if you can leave a mask on your hair for as long as possible do so, so three hours later I take the towel of. My hair feels crispy, dry where the product has dried and in need of a good rinse. Letting the warm water do its thing with the mask I find the mask to rince out easily and while I run my fingers through my hair, my hair feels very soft, hydrated, very manageable and not a tangle in sight. Normally I shampoo my hair twice and this doesn't matter if I apply masks to dry or damp hair just to make sure all product has been rinsed out. ***Did I notice a difference?*** If and when time allows me I like to leave my hair to air dry as much as I can, while drying naturally normally my hair can go frizzy and almost a dry feeling even though conditioner would have been used but this time my hair felt silky soft, more manageable and not a hint of frizz in sight. Throughout my hair drying naturally it never got tangled or felt or looked frizzy and my fingers seemed to glide through my hair when stroking it. I started blow drying my hair when it was nearly dry, my hair looked shinier, felt and looked so smooth and silky, the ends looked healthy; I would also go as far as saying the product gave my hair bounce and vitality without being weighed down at all. There was also no frizz, which I am prone to especially when blow drying and with the damp air. This product will never help you or your hair if you have split ends; they have to be cut off. But TLC Hydrating Mask can help to condition them to the point they do not split further. I wash my hair every other day, even before the next wash my hair continued to have 'good hair days'. I am all round impressed. ***Price and availability*** On Percy and Reed website percyandreed.com they sell this product for £20.00, I have seen it for £17.00 from beautybay.com This might be a good product but at such an extortionate price for 175ml of product when there are products out there much more cheaper that do the exact same job. Because of this I would never purchase this product full size. ***What I think about it/do I like it?*** TLC Hydrating Mask really is a lovely product while being a joy to use but I cannot get over the price so because of this, I'm out.

Percy & Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask
by alfiepeaches I got this free with Glamour magazine a few months ago, because I am subscribed I have no choice in which free gift I get but this one was a lucky as I had just started mixing peroxide into my hairdye to lighten my hair and it had dried and damaged it a lot and I hadn't got round to getting a decent hair mask yet. I can't ... remember how much you get in the sample size but it was a fair amount and only difference was that it came in different packaging to the picture above. It was a squeezy bottle, and the design looked quite cheap looking to me so I wasn't sure I wanted to put it on my hair but since it was free I gave it a go. I really really dislike the smell of this product, I squeezed some into my hand and hated it. The mask is white and looks like a normal conditioner but a little thicker. Even though I really hated the smell I decided to still use it because my hair needed some sort of extra conditioning really badly and I thought the smell might not linger for too long (I was so wrong...). The good thing is that I didn't need a huge amount of the product to cover my hair, which was just past my shoulders at the time of using and I doubt you'd need much more for longer hair either. I left the mask on for a bout 10minutes and being really annoyed with the smell. It was very easy to rinse out and took no longer than when I wash my shampoo and conditioner out normally. However the smell stayed and it stayed all day long. I nearly washed my hair all over again but didn't want to over wash it so I just put it up and sprayed with heat spray to try and cover the smell. My hair was sleeker than usual but no softer than when I use my normal conditioner and no where near as soft and conditioned as it has been since using my john frieda hair mask. I've tried to give the product a fair review as my friend received this in her copy of Glamour and got on with it fine with no problems but I couldn't believe it when I found out this was supposed to be a hair salon item as I really don't think it smells, looks or gives results of a salon finish in the slightest so I wouldn't recommend it.
