It's Love! ♥

Yay! I am so excited to have a new haircut!

I looove getting my hair trimmed, it makes me feel very refreshed and pretty again!

I suddenly had a day last week where I HAD to get my hair cut, almost there and then! I knew I wouldn't get an appointment with my normal hair God Simon at Toni & Guy, he gets booked up weeks ahead so I plucked up the courage to try somewhere new.

I have had many appointments where I have cried the moment I stepped outside the salon so trying a new one made me very nervous!

I had a stylist recommended at a salon next to work so I booked for last Friday. I just told her that I wanted the same but shorter! 

Et voila!

Holy moly I love it!

I have been wanting to trim my fringe for ages so she did that too, she knew exactly what would suit me and I almost cried, tears of joy this time, when she showed me the back with the mirror! I have had this kind of style before and I have always loved it but I felt I wanted to grow my hair. However I have very fine hair, but there is a lot of it, as soon as it gets past my shoulder it goes limp and lifeless, alas I will never have Kardashian style locks *sheds a tear*

So a huge thanks to Amy at Michael John for my new look, I love it!

Some slightly dodgy shots for you!

John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo

Until recently I had always been a blonde. 

For a long time a natural then as I got a little older it started to fade and became mousey and a bit blah!

I still have a naturally lighter tone to my hair but I now have highlights, which are stating to fade.

Now we are in summer I really want a sun-kissed glow to my hair so I headed to Boots for some products.

I'd intended to buy a dye or a wash out colour but saw the John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo's and conditioner's on offer. I had seen the adverts so I was aware of the product. I wasn't sure how it could be different to the Sheer Blonde range that I used to use as a blondie.

As far as I can tell the original range of Sheer Blonde has peroxide and ammonia to help lighten your hair. I had amazing results with this range back in the day but it was too good, it bleached my hair!

The Go Blonder range uses citrus and chamomile to lighten the hair. We have all heard of putting lemon juice on your hair to highlight, I am not recommending this btw! The shampoo certainly has a lemony scent and colour, its a pearlescent yellow.

I have used this for just over a week now and I am very impressed. I have a noticeable lighter tone to my hair, I think this is a combination of the shampoo and we actually have sunshine here at the moment and I have spent a lot of time in the sunshine. I hope the citrus elements of the shampoo and the sunshine are working together!

My hair is soft and bouncy and sun-kissed as promised! 

I didn't get the conditioner at the time as had just purchased a new bottle of my trusty Label M Honey and Oat, but I will be buying the conditioner next!

John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo and Conditioner

I have been noticing a lot of hair falling out of my head recently, I know that your hair has a seven year cycle and changes occur, my Mums hair for example went curly almost overnight!

I've put it down to weightloss and this seven year cycle, but I'm not going to lie, it worries me.

Anyway I thought I would try some new shampoo to help a healthy folicle! John Frieda has just launched a new Root Awakening range.

John Frieda says,

Your Wake Up Call For Tired Weak Hair

Infused with natural Eucalyptus, Root Awakening® shampoos, conditioners, and Leave in Spray nourish hair from root to tip. Get stronger, more manageable hair in just 7 days.  

Sounds good right?!

I thought I'd try the shampoo and conditioner together. 

It smells minty and has a different texture to "normal " shampoo, it definitely thicker. The conditioner has the same scent and it is of a thicker consistency too.

I certainly noticed a difference in lift at the root of my hair and my hair was very soft and bouncy. However it was a little too soft for me to be able to curl my hair, the curl would just drop out after a couple of hours. My Mum used the shampoo and conditioner and it did wonders for her coarse thick curly hair! Her hair curled very easily naturally without a diffuser which she would normally use.

I do feel that after prolonged use my hair would be healthy straight from the root. Although I didn't notice a difference in hair loss but this was never one of the features of this system.

Have you tried it?

Hair Envy!

I hate my hair at the moment.

I am having it cut on Wednesday and have been looking around at styles to go for.

I loved my hair when it was shorter but my hairdresser has decided that we are going to grow it, which is fine but the bottom layer, the longest one is so much longer that the next layer, its all straggly and thin and wispy as my hair is so fine.

So its getting the chop!

I love my hair curly, and curl it most days as I hate it so much at the moment, curly makes it bearable!

I love watching Samantha Who? Particularly because I love the characters style.... and her hair!

To me its short yet long! Its away from her neck but long enough to style it and wear it back.

I love Christina Applegate she's so cute and I love her style, I think its very similar to her character in the show. I know she has grown her hair out a bit now and I'm sure I will too but I want it to look good in the mean time!

What do you think?!

I'll be taking these pictures to the hairdressers, so Simon get ready to chop!!

xoxo

PS Please make another series of Samantha Who? its funny as well as stylish!

Maybe I'll look this hot on Wednesday!
