Lilac Hair Don't Care

When I was a teenager I dyed my hair so much. I loved experimenting with colour and loved the vibrant bright reds, electric purples and neon blues. Dying my hair so often left my hair in very bad damage and it definitely needed a lot of TLC. I still have the coloured hair bug and dye my hair every eight Weeks or so, but do miss that fun with trying different colours, so I was super excited to try the Colour Addict Spray in Hair Chalk. I opted for the shade in lilac, as my hair is currently a reddish-brown, I thought the lilac would go well.

I absolutely love the outcome of the product. Depending on how vibrant you like the colour, you can spray in as little or as much as you like. I really enjoyed adding the hair chalk to the ends of my hair and adding highlights through my hair. As you can see from my picture I really like the subtle hint of colour, but I think it'd look great all over the hair as a solid colour. I love that it washes out so easily. I think the colour is gorgeous and it is so much fun being able to add a pop of colour to my hair in seconds, without the worry of damaging my hair and staining the bath towels!

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray

 50ml, RRP £7.50, available at Boots

I think everyone on the blogging scene went crazy when this Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray was included free in a magazine not so many Months back now. Off course, me loving a bargain jumped on that bandwaggon with the rest of them and picked it up. Bumble and Bumble are a brand that I had never tried before, and to be honest nothing in their range ever really stood out for me. I love hair care products, but I also find it difficult parting with such a lot of cash for products I can get elsewhere which are still really great quality and do the job for me, for a noticeably smaller price. I wanted to put this to the test to see if it is worth the hype and the price tag.

When applying this it is advised to use on damp hair. I am no expert on anything to do with hair but I did find it a little out of the ordinary for me to be applying hairspray to my hair when it is still partly wet. Bumble and Bumble state that this is so it protects your hair from the heat and to give the right hold while still taming the frizz and giving direction to the hair.

I found this to not do anything at all to my hair. I didn't feel that once blow dryed and styled as normal after application, that my hair had any extra hold. It seemed slightly less frizzy but that was all I noticed that made a difference. I didn't feel my hair had any more volume after blow drying. I personally wouldn't purchase this product at full price as it didn't live up to my expectations, perhaps this is because of my hair type and style, but it didn't do great wonders for me. I have since read a few more reviews online and have found that a handful of people say it is a little more work if you have thick dark hair, maybe I'm not using it correctly? 

In conclusion I feel this hairspray is quite mediocre and I probably wouldn't buy it again.

Have you tried this hairspray? How did you get on with it?
