I always come back to this shampoo and conditioner. Although its a bit more expensive than some it gives consistent results again and again. It leaves hair soft, shiny and healthy. You can pick it up at Feel Unique at £12.15 for the shampoo and £15.25 for the conditioner and they last for ages. You can also buy it at hair salons.
I also read an interesting article in this month's Prima magazine. It's titled "size matters" - its an article about how much product you should be using.
For example, for short and fine hair use 1tsp shampoo and for very thick and/or long hair use 3tsp. As for conditioner you should use 1tsp for short and fine hair and between 2-4tsp for thick/long hair.
There are recommendations for how much you should be using for various products - hand cream (pea sized amount during the day and small raspberry size at night), body lotion - approximately 4tbsp, cleanser - 1tsp, face mask - amount equivalent to small apricot. An interesting article!
p.s. Psychologies Magazine this month has an interesting short article on Beauty Bloggers. x

Sometimes you just have to stick with what you like. This is a good brand. No wonder you like it so much.

This brand is my ultimate hair care saviour, I use the shampoo, conditioner as well as the mask (green bottle) a great brand. When I don't use Kerastase I tend to use Redken which is also very good. Interesting about how much product we are supposed to use, glad to see that I'm doing things correctly :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the tips!!!
ReplyDeleteGonna use them =)))
Kerastase is very famous here in Brazil, although is too expensive people are usually looking for this brand everywhere! ( which is hard to find)
Personally I've never tried any of their products but I am sure they rock!!!
One day I will.. just like everything you blog about here hahahaa
xx
This sounds like an interesting article! Link?
ReplyDeletei had no idea that there are certain recommended amounts/sizes for different hair types. i always assumed less for short hair and more for long hair. i never took the hair's texture into consideration before. thanks for sharing that info with us! :)

@frecklie, I'd recommend it. It comes in 3 strengths for different hair types and it smells great x
ReplyDelete@Parveen, ooh I've not tried the mask. I like Redken too! x
@Livia, thank you! I'd recommend the range. You can sometimes buy it in travel size bottles - which is cheaper! x
@Jayne, I looked for a link but couldn't see one. I could scan it in and email it to you if you give me your email address (or send you a photocopy?) x
@Mimi, I normally use far too much conditioner! x
I really want to try this! xx ps - I use way to much conditioner by the looks of it!
ReplyDelete@Sparkly Flamingo, I really recommend it! me too x
