Fab Five Favourites part 2

Hi Beauts.

Today I wanted to share with you all, my second installment of my 'Fab Five Favourites'. I've already posted   my fab five favourite face products, and so today thought I'd talk to you about my favourite hair products.

I'm not really big on hair care if I'm honest, but I do have a few things that I couldn't be without:


1 - Tangle Teaser - This is the only brush I use on my hair. I think everyone and their mam has one of these beauties, but if you don't it's basically a God send if you get tangles in your hair. It doesn't pull and tug at your hair when you brush over a tangle and leaves your hair static free

2 - Primark teasing comb - I don't have a fringe but I like to wear my hair in a bit of a bump at the front when I'm feeling a little rock chicky ;) and find this the best thing to use. It teases really easily without snapping hair, and it's the perfect size to pop in my bag


3 - Batiste dry shampoo - This is a life saver!! I can get away with washing my hair two to three times a week now, however on the morning of my 'hair washing day' I find that my hair needs a little freshening up so spray this on and I'm good to go for the day

4 - Superdrug coconut oil - This is the only hair treatment/mask I use. I have a full review already up here if you fancy a read. This is the best thing I've ever used. It has so many uses but I use it as a deep treatment, I apply it an hour or two before I wash my hair and when it comes to rinsing it out my hair is left smelling, feeling and looking amazing

5 - Superdrug detangling spray - Yes, this is indeed intended for kids but it's something I love to use. Because I use the tangle teaser and coconut oil, I don't really get knotty hair but I do like to show the ends a little extra love and notice a big difference i the softness of my hair when I use this

Well, that's it for this 'Fab Five Favouries' What are your must have hair products?

Superdrug coconut oil

Hi Beauts.

I've always had really long hair, and although it is in good condition, I feel like it could do with a little pick me up every so often.

One product that is a huge hit with beauty bloggers, is coconut oil. I never knew where I could get my hands on this little wonder until I made an online order a few months back with Superdrug, and spotted it for only £2.29.



If you're unsure as to what coconut oil is, it is a solid chunk of coconut oil that melts when warmed and reruns to it's solid form when back to room temperature.
It has so many uses from a hair treatment, to body oil, to a shaving oil to a hand cream just to name a few. I only use mine as a hair treatment, but I am pretty intrigued about the other uses for it.

I've had this pot now for a good few months and I've been using it twice a week, and have to say I've noticed a huge difference in the condition of my hair. After each wash, I'm left with soft, smooth and more manageable hair, not to mention shiny and more healthy looking.

To use this in it's liquid form, all I do is fill up the bathroom sink with hot water, place the tub (with the lid still on) into said water and leave for around 3 to 5 minutes. Hey presto, you have a hair treatment.
Because I have long and quite thick hair I tend to use quite a lot, and only ever apply to the ends of my hair - they're what need the most love.
After applying, I plait my hair or tie it up in a bun out of the way and leave for 1 to 2 hours before rinsing it off and washing as usual.

I'd highly recommend giving this a shot to anyone who is looking to treat their hair. It's inexpensive, and works so amazing at keeping my locks luscious.

Have you tried coconut oil before?
