Advantages: Well.. I got them for 10p

Disadvantages: Chemically smell, makes hair look quite greasy

When I was in Superdrug a couple of days ago taking full advantage of the after Christmas sales, I saw a 10p shelf full of goodies! One of the (many!) things I bought were these Umberto Giannini 'Hanky Pankies'. This is a product which I would not normally buy, but at 10p I bought two of them!

These 'Hanky Pankies' are basically wipes for your hair. On the front of the packet it states that they are 'Hair Fragrance Cloths to Stroke on Shine and Leave a Sexy Scent'. There was also a little sticker on the front to say that this was the No1 Beauty Editors Choice at Elle. It all sounded very impressive..

There are 5 wipes in the pack, each packaged individually in their own little packet. These five packets are attached together and you can easily rip them apart to carry them individually. They are foil packets so the wipes won't dry out, and they have a little nick at the side of each of them so you can easily rip them open without having to use scissors. They come in a cardboard cover which has a drawn picture of woman on the front holding a bottle of perfume and spraying it on her hair, each of the five individual packets have the same image on them too. All of the packaging is pink and looks really girly! You can only use each wipe once.

When you open one of the packets, the smell hits you immediately. The fragrance is horrible, it smells so chemically and strong. I guess you could say that it smells remotely sweet but the chemical smell is so overpowering that I can't really smell much else. The cloth comes folded up and when you unfold it, it is about 20cm squared. It is made from the same kind of material as normal face wipes and is slightly moist. When I put some on my hair and the smell was disgusting and the chemical smell lingers there for ages, until I washed my hair actually. Not quite a 'delicious' smell as the packaging states! As for making hair look shiny, I think it actually made my hair look quite greasy!

On the back of the pack it says that these can also be used as body wipes too, you don't only have to use them on your hair, but personally I don't want any part of my body to smell the way that the wipes did!

All in all it was only 10p so it's not the end of the world, but I will not be buying these again and don't recommend them! I'm not sure how much they normally cost but I wouldn't even pay 10p again for them.. the smell was disgusting and they made my hair look greasy, two thumbs down!

Summary: Don't waste your money..
