A HAIR CHANGE

New term, new me.  It’s something most of us students tell ourselves every September.  This year is my fourth and final year of university, so I’m *hoping* I can stick to it. First step was my biannual haircut…

I’m no stranger to short hair; my hair history stretches from shaved to super long. Over the past few years I have shied away from the scissors and gone for longer locks. However hours on pinterest this summer looking at blunt bobs prompted me to go back for the chop.

I had my hair done at Vidal Sassoon in Manchester (highly recommend!) and opted for a fairly blunt long bob that was slightly longer at the front. Overall I’m really happy with the result! To match my new ‘do, I’ve mixed up my products slightly, so here’s what I’ve been using…

When it comes to washing my hair, I’m pretty low maintenance. I like to switch up my shampoo and conditioner when they run out but I definitely don’t use several different shampoos for different reasons throughout the week. My current favourites are Herbal Essences Nourishing Shine. Cheap as chips, smells great and gives an amazing glossy look to the hair. Perfect.

Whether I’m wearing my hair straight or curly. I love a bit of volume (post here) and V05 Plump it Up is the perfect solution. It’s basically a back comb in a can but with little effort. Spray a bit into the roots and voila, instant height.

If I am feeling adventurous and going for curls or waves my new favourite product is L’oreal Wave Creating Spray. There’s lots of ways you can use this, either to create waves on damp hair or just to spritz through after curling to add some texture. I’m personally a big fan of the latter for my shorter hair but will definitely be trying the former in the future.

To finish off I love Tresemme Firm Hold hairspray. I bought this ages ago and it’s still going strong! It’s an absolute essential in my everyday routine.

What are your favourite hair products right now?

 Quick Apology for being MIA over the past couple of weeks, no Internet and moving back to university means blogging took a back seat, but hopefully I’m beginning to adjust now!
