Dr. Hobbs Heat Gro Intensive Hair & Scalp Strengthening Therapy Review

Hey guys!
So, I have been out shopping (again) and found some really amazing hair treatment when I was looking for new hair extensions. My hair is naturally very thin and fragile, but because I have been dying it and wearing my hair extensions it became thinner. This has worried me deeply as hair is a big part of everyone's appearance and I can't be dealing with having to cut my hair really short or go bald.
I read the ingredients of the treatment, and instantly thought 'wow I must buy this product, it's 100% natural'.

The packaging: The treatment is in a basic plastic tub and isn't exactly eye-catching. however it looks like something you would buy in a herbal shop, especially by the pot and spatula to mix ingredients, mostly herbs and tablets. The large bold writing draws attention to the packaging and makes you want to read on. As soon as I read that it strengthens hair and helps hair grow faster, I had to turn it around and read the back of it to make sure that the ingredients are natural. Overall, the packaging isn't very exciting and is rather simple.

The application: The application was quite hard to be honest! The texture of the treatment is very thick and gooey, almost like jelly so it was hard to spread it around my whole scalp. However I didn't have to use a lot of it, therefore it will last for a longer period. It says that you should apply it every day for best results, however I decided that I'm going to use it every other day as I don't want to wash my hair too often, because then it will lose its natural oils and make it harder for me to grow it. As soon as the product touches the skin, it automatically warms up. Sometimes it might be a little bit tingly, however I thought it was a nice burning sensation, almost like a sauna face mask, but for hair.

The results: I have used this product a few times now and I noticed that my hair is getting slightly bit thicker, like after using henna, the hair is covered in the product and stays that way for a while. My scalp isn't as flaky any more and I noticed that more hair is growing in places where it has fell out. I am very satisfied with the results so far as I have been using this product in less than a week. I will definitely buy this product again and use it all the time until my hair is stronger and thicker, but just to make sure it stays that way I will use it even then! It is a definite 10/10 and the fact that it cost me less than £10 makes it even better!
I hope this helps and that some of you will try this product out!

Hello Fabulous!
I'm so naughty, haven't been posting much lately AGAIN!
I've just been so busy with college, seeing as I decided to choose different subjects to what I did last year so now I have to catch up with all the work, boohoo! :(
I will try and post as much as possible now, I realised that blogging also takes time as much as revision does -_-
Well, today I have made a collage of my new purchases, there's not a lot because for some odd reason my silly phone won't let me send pics to my laptop :S, so I will include the rest of the pics in another post via my phone. Hope this month at school/college/uni has gone as fast as mine has! There's just so much work to do nowadays, and I always finish doing my hw and revision around 7-8 so I barely have any time for myself therefore less time for blogging :(
Anyway, these are my new purchases:
Creepers, fur coat, tartan socks, books, shloer, American goodies, and some new DVD's.
I have bought many more things since then so watch out for my next post!
Mwahh :*

Valentine's Day = new hair colour!

United Kingdom
Hi everyone! Hope you're all well and had a lovely Valentine's Day, (I know I did;))
I went to a concert on the 12th of February and then went out to see my lovely boyfriend which means that my bedroom was covered with clothes due to decisions on what to wear!
I know it's been a long time since I last posted on my blog but it's tough to keep it all up due to hardcore revision for upcoming exams! :(
Going back to the actual topic haha, well it's hard for every girl to pick out clothes for a special occasion to feel that they look good especially as we all think we look fat most of the time (depressing times). I picked out a few outfits from my own wardrobe that suit my body shape that I will include in this post. Going shopping makes me so happy so I'm going to include my recent buys too!

I've wanted my hair to be a pure platinum white colour so I decided to dye it this colour. I used L'Oreal Feria Extreme Platinum Power L01 hair dye which made my hair go a very light bleached blonde colour. The results weren't as I expected them to be however going from a medium blonde to platinum does take time. I used silver shampoo to neutralise all the yellow and orange tones from the previous hair colour as the dye wasn't powerful enough for my hair. It did damage my hair a lot as I dye it waaay too often so I didn't want to continue dying it and obviously my hair extensions needed dying too but I didn't touch them as I knew it would damage them too much and I always change my mind about my hair.

A couple of weeks later I decided to go back to my natural hair colour however I  didn't want to dye my hair extensions so I bought a hair dye that'll come out to be the same colour as my hair extensions. I used L'Oreal Majirel 10.31 Lightest Golden Ash Blonde which is basically the same shade as L'Oreal Recital Preferance 7.3 Florida Honey Blonde. This hair colour came out quite dark as you can see in the picture above it looks a bit brown. I had to wash it with silver shampoo a couple of times for the colour to fade.

I must say that this is the best primer I ever owned! It's very essential as it makes my face smooth as it fills out my pores. Even the texture is fabulous! It feels like velvet and makes your foundation easier to apply. It's a bit pricey however you get a lot for your money!
22ml - £23.50
44ml - £35 (more or less as I don't remember the exact price of this one as I got it ages ago)

Lots of love,

Welcome!

United Kingdom
Well, there's not much to say other than welcome to my new blog! :)
I'm not new to this as I've had a few blogs before this one however had to get rid of them as I didn't post anything due to focusing on my education. Well then, as you can already tell I'm really interested in fashion and always pay attention to how I look as it is really important to feel good about yourself and clothes, hair and makeup make me more confident :) I started wearing makeup at the age of 14 as I didn't pay much attention to my appearance when I was younger and then when my acne got worse I decided to wear foundation along with mascara and occasionally eye-liner  Over the years I now mastered my daily routine that will also be a part of this blog so you'll get the idea of how to do your own makeup  Finally at the age of 15 I realised how important clothes are and matching perfect outfits turned out to be rather difficult! :( but now that I know what I'm doing I am willing to share my ideas and opinions with my dear readers :)
My biggest insecurity will have to be my horrendous acne :/ It started when I was 11 years old and I've been trying different medications out to get rid of it, unfortunately nothing has helped me and now I've been referenced to a dermatologist and now I'm on really strong medication and after a month I noticed a slight improvement, so if acne is your issue please don't hesitate and include it in your email/comment :)
Another feature I dislike is my hair. I've been bleaching it since I was 12 years old and dyed it dark colours (brown, red etc) several times and kept going back to blonde, and I finally have a nice shade of blonde with no yellow or orange tones! :) However, the condition is dreadful! My hair's short and lifeless due to over bleaching so I need to condition it overnight at least once a week to bring back the life in it :|
Also wearing hair extensions too often makes my hair more fragile than it already is so I try to avoid heat styling tools and prefer having it up than down as it doesn't get tangled as much.
Right, I think this is an all right opening post haha, please email me! :) I will reply ASAP.
