Lou’s Views – OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil Review

I have recently been out and purchased the OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil from Boots. I have to say I am really impressed with this product. Having hair that naturally goes greasy quite quickly I was a bit apprehensive to putting oil in my hair because I have used a similar product before and wasn’t too impressed, however, since going ombre and having bleach in my hair I have found the ends of my hair had been getting very dry. I decided to give this a go to try and get my hair looking and feeling healthy again.
 
 
 Sometimes the saying a little goes a long way isn't always the case but with this product it is!! I literally used a pea sized amount, rubbed it into my palms and ran it through my hair (ends only). If you have greasy hair as I do I wouldn't advise you put this near the roots. I used it when my hair was still a little damp as instructed and it really did go a long way, I think using anymore would possibly make the hair heavy and greasy. The end result was silky soft hair :) After around 3-4 uses my hair looked renewed and in great condition. It comes in a 100ml bottle (can see this lasting a while) and the packaging looks great too, at £6.99 I definitely recommend this!

Lou’s View’s – Bleach London Silver Shampoo review

This product = Yes Yes Yes. How many people can empathise with me on how annoying highlighted or bleached hair can be when it decides to turn brassy!! I chose to ombre my hair after toying with the idea for so long and I was always in ore of how good it looked, I started with some subtle flashes of blonde coming through and gradually built it up to have full on ombre. I loved it at first but after time I started to experience a different tone to my hair and not a good tone! Brassy, canary yellow tones were started to make my hair just look scruffy!
 
 
I tried different colour correcting shampoos and conditioners, the best being John Frieda colour renew tone corrector, but the affects were too subtle and the brassiness, even though slightly better, was still there! Getting frustrated I was about to phone my very good friend who happens to also be my hairdresser and tell her to make me brunette again when I stumbled across this beauty in Boots! As a last ditch attempt and not breaking the bank at only £5 I decided to buy it. I am so happy I did! This product is amazing!

 
Even though this says shampoo, to me this is just a toner. The consistency is very thin and deep purple in colour. I put this all over my blonde, left for about 2 minutes and washed off and followed by a wash and condition with the John Frieda colour renew. After just this one wash all of my yellow brassy tones were gone!! My hair looked like it had just been re-coloured and I’ve read that if you leave this on for longer the effects are even stronger, but do be careful as some people have reported lilac tones after leaving it on for too long.
 
 
 
Overall very happy customer and would 100% recommend. Even though I am now booked in to have some low lights put in to make me a bit darker I am still super impressed and will continue to use this to keep my blonde bits looking fresh!!
 

*Just Note* just be careful not to spill or splash this product as it can stain. Also, read the instructions carefully as using this silver shampoo too often can overtone your hair.
