Hair care routine

I've only recently become conscious of my hairs condition which is awful! It got to the point where I was straightening my hair everyday and it was just snapping and breaking whilst doing it. It had to stop or in a years time I'd be bald!

I'll give you a little hair history so you know what I was dealing with: Since the age of about 10/11 I've been straightening my hair everyday. I have horrible natural hair, not straight, not curly, not wavy, not really anything just a frizzy mess. I began colouring my hair in year 9 too, as well as washing and blow drying (and straightening) every morning. Overall, I've put my hair through hell.

So since about November last year, I've changed how I look after my hair.
So lets start with washing:

I use Herbal essences Beautiful ends shampoo and conditioner because of the horrible condition of my hair. It's brilliant, you'll see in a minute how much I love this collection. But yeah it's great, it has restored health in my hair and given in plenty of volume!

Next I use Lee Stafford's hair growth treatment ' for hair that never grows past a certain length' You can buy this in any supermarket or highstreet shop such as boots or superdrug. This stuff is  my absolute savior. I've re-purchased this about  7 times, it retails for £7.99 in most stores and is worth every penny. It anchors your roots and promotes growth and its fabulous. My hair has grown loads and I've been using this since October '11. I use this every time I wash my hair which is usually 3-4 times a week.

However once a week I do use this. This is Herbal Essences beautiful ends split ends protection intensive mask. This is also amazing, I don't condition if i use this because it basically acts as a conditioner but better. This has saved my hair too and is well worth however much it costs ( I can't remember!)

Once I'm out of the shower I use copious amounts of heat protect before iI blow dry and straighten if I do.

This is what I use first, it's got2b guardian angel heat defense. I use this on the top of my head, roots mainly but not my ends. I love this product, again you can get this from any highstreet store or supermarket. It last a long time too which is always a plus!

And finally, I use Herbal Essences beautiful end heat defense! (Told you I loved this range!) I use this on the length of my hair and particularly the roots. I pump it onto my fingers and run it through my hair. This protects my ends particularly well from becoming split. Its brilliant!

I've also cut down the amount I wash my hair which keeps the natural oils in well. I now straighten my hair maybe once or twice a week if that which is so much better for it! My hair is now growing nicely and it becoming fuller and nicer!
