Coloured Hair Care

I've recently gone from blonde hair to a bright orange/coppery colour and I am in love with it! It was a pretty big change and it really made me realise that it's time I started looking after my hair more, especially as I got it done in a salon instead of out of a bottle. Obviously I don't want it to fade so I decided to go and get some products specifically for coloured hair. My usual go-to shampoo and conditioner was always Hello Hydration by Herbal Essences because the blue colour helped keep my blonde hair blonde (as stupid as it sounds). As Superdrug are celebrating their 50th birthday I thought I'd take advantage of the price cuts and try something I wouldn't normally go for.

When choosing a shampoo I decided to try the newly released Essence ULTÎME Diamond Color Shampoo by Schwarzkopf. The packaging is really plain but it looks more expensive than it actually is. I got this product for £2.49 which is very reasonable, it should have been £4.99 which is more than I would normally spend on a single bottle of shampoo, especially if I'm getting a conditioner too. After my first use I instantly liked the shampoo, my hair is still at the stage where bits of dye are washing out and I end up with lovely orange water so now that I'm finally using a colour friendly shampoo I'm not as worried when it comes to washing it. The shampoo itself smelt nice and lathered really well so I didn't need to use a lot of it - which is a good thing considering the normal price and my budget!

Another product I bought was Garnier's Ultimate Blends Colour Illuminator Intensive Treatment. I was drawn to this because I originally wanted to buy the shampoo but there weren't any left. I'm not a massive fan of conditioner because it makes my hair go greasy the same day I wash it. As
 soon as I saw it had Argan Oil in it I was sold. I honestly believe that Argan Oil is one of the best hair products around, I love it! The treatment claims to work in just one minute which sounds so good because I've used treatments in the past that take five minutes or more, so such a quick working product is perfect for me. The bottle is sleek and red in colour with a gold band around the top. The product smells amazing and a little goes a long way. As soon as I'd rinsed my hair it was so soft and completely tangle free, in fact it felt so good I didn't even need to use a rinse out conditioner which saved me shower time. After drying my hair was so shiny and the colour looked gorgeous (not bragging). I am in love with it and for only £2.99, usually £4.49 I will definitely be buying another bottle.

I love both of these products and the results I got were definitely worth the money! Give them a go and let me know what you think!
