Product Reveiw- CoLab Active

 

Product Review: CoLab Active

Whatever happens in life us women and some men will always find time to make sure our hair is perfect. I remember a time when I used to have to squeeze in a hair wash even  if my time in shower couldn't be long, due to you know life being hectic, but I couldn't have greasy hair so I would make time! This being the case I bet you were all as relieved and excited when dry shampoo was invented!

These days there are loads of different brands from supermarket own to actual branded and loads of different types, safe to say I've tried and tested most, some have impressed more than others, infact I have wrote a review on another before you may or may not remember. Needless to say I had wrote that review long before I had tested this brand that I can tell you now I'm going to praise to high heaven.

I was going a long a bit of a dry shampoo surfer, never had a regular one, always chopping and changing, this was until Katie introduced me to CoLab. It opened my eyes to a new range of better dry shampoos! I also had fun smelling all their different ones which are named after  different cities, London being my personal favourite and my regular, yep that's right this dry shampoo surfer had settled. I was well and truly excited when they brought out their new one Active.

I was eager to try and purchased as soon as I could. To be honest I knew before I tried it, it was going to be good if their other dry shampoos were anything to go by. As soon as needed I reached for the can of dry shampoo and used it. I was amazed. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is most defiantly invisible, this shocked me the most if I'm honest. Usually when dry shampoos say it they are not always completely invisible, but this one is, no white marks in sight which means a mirror is not necessary when applying. Go are the days of rubbing your hair like your insane to get rid of the white marks (which seemed like a bloody workout)! Conditioning, that's another thing it says it does, this couldn't be more true, after applying the hair looks a lot more fresh & feels better too, that's something I find unique to this dry shampoo. With a lot of others they make it so your hair is good to look at but at touch it don't feel that great, with this one you seriously wouldn't think I had any on. This lasts all day too, though I do like to top up but that's just personal! Lastly, the shine it leaves my hair with is beautiful, it looks like its not long been washed which is I guess what you want your dry shampoo to do. Retailing at about £3.99 in Superdrug it is well worth the money and you certainly get  what you pay for. Oh and by the way it smells gorg!

Whether your busy at work, with children or just life in general we could all use a little dry shampoo in our lives. Even if you think you don't...you do. There is simply no point in trying hundreds of different dry shampoos, get yourself down to Superdrug and pick up this quality dry shampoo. But be warned once you go CoLab you don't go back ;)

Until next time

HAIR: The Perfect Finish

Have you ever wanted a lovely salon finish to your hair from shine, to smell, to feel? I can recommend a definite way for this and that is Pearl Styler by Wella. 

This product is more on the costly side than the budget side. You know what I'm like I would rather recommend budget products as most people have to count the pennies these day. But I certainly believe you get what you pay for with this. You also don't need to use a lot of this each time, just a little will do this means it will last a while even more so if you are a person who will just us it for special occasions. 

I know some people don't do their hair all done up everyday. I mean the majority of people don't unless your in the cast of "The Only Way Is Essex" or "Made In Chelsea" but I still think it's good to invest in because when you go out you want to look a million dollars. This will seal the deal. 

I know you all probably think I'm some crazy hairdresser trying to sell you something I wouldnt recommend anything rubbish. I'm not trying to sell I'm trying to advise those of you who want to get shine and finish to your hair. 

How To Use 

So do your usual wash and blow dry, you can straighten or curl or even do a curly blow dry. You then squeeze a tiny pea sized amount into the palm of your hand then rub them together to warm the product up. You them run you hands gently through the hair styling  it in any direction  that you want, with curls you can mould the product through the Chris making them a bit more defined. It leaves your hair with a nice shine. 

You can get this product maybe from your hairdresser EBay or Amazon. retails from £7.99 on EBay and £7.50 from Amazon. I do apologise I haven't got a picture but it is in a silver and orange bottle. 

Hope this helps you all get a lovely finish on your hair. It's just simply a recommendation. 

This is the first of many hair posts I will be doing ranging from product to styles  to advice ect. If there are any hair things you particularly want to know about on this blog then please tweet us or Instagram us nam Essextowindsor.
