Greek Goddess Hair

Well I'm really getting into the high buns, aren't I? This is an all-time favourite of mine, you see it in almost any 60s movie, during a party, girl with the half-hair up in a white discs dress. So Britt Ekland.

My version is more relaxed, since it's just a ponytail bobbi pinned to my head. I'm surprised it didn't fall over with all the wind today.

I'm not sure what happened to this picture, i saved it and it messed up. But it looks so cool I'm posting it:

Kerastase Ciment Thermique - Review

  I thought I'd share with you a product I'm loving, the Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique Heat-Activated reconstructor milk for weakened hair. This complex-titled leave-in is basically a leave in conditioner with a gel texture, that really leaves hair beautifully revived. Feels stronger, denser, soft, shiny, hydrated. I didn't purchase this, my mom left it behind at my apartment when she came to visit. But I might consider getting it myself when I finish it. It's really good, I'm very impressed. 

I would say, because it's "heat-activated" this is ideal to use as a heat protectant + leave-in conditioner in one. So perfect for those who use heat styling, as I am doing lately. 

You only use a pea-sized amount, I've had this tub for weeks and it didn't even look like there was any left when I found it.

125ml, 19 pounds (price from Amazon.co.uk, since I didn't buy it so I don't know how much it was)



   

  

Unboxing of the magic hot styler machine- Rowenta Brush Activ Review

This is a review for the Rowenta Brush Activ.



Very impressed with the packaging. It certainly looks like I'm getting my bang for my buck (73 pounds!)



All well organised..the brushes have their own plastic caps which is good. I am surprised that this is a GERMAN product, and so the plug is european and everything is in German. I did not know that, they should've specified...Not too concerned cause most of my electrical things are Spanish so I have convertors permanently stuck on the wall. But they could've mentioned it.

Good to see that part of the proceedings of this went to cancer research..again, did not know this. I'm all for cancer research.



And a photo of me holding it, just so you can see how BIG this device is. It reminds me of one of those totally disproportionate novelty dildos. It's sooo big it's kind of shocking.



I'm not a fan of big tools, they're hard to maneuver (talking about hair appliances now). BUT this does look really really good, and i hope it performs.

I'll update this post when i use it x

UPDATE

Wow...I am very, very impressed. This thing is awesome, it's light, soo easy to use, great power, gives great volume, the brush is great, it looks pretty, the cord could be a little longer but it's fine....so yea. Very very happy with this! My hair dried super fast and super shiny. Took me 10 minutes in total. I think this has a lot to do with it being ionic, I love negative ions they make a huge difference. It is SO soft and sleek.





The only thing is...while I like the rotating option (it works smoothly, it doesn't tangle) I do not find it essential. What it does is that it "pulls" so it gets the hair very straight at the roots and I use it for some bits but not all the time; I could do without it. I think they should come out with something like this, for half the price, without the rotating function, because I imagine that it's this function that makes this so expensive.
