For Hair That Never Grows Past Certain Length...

A couple of months ago, I had my hair all chopped off. I've never had my hair cut short before, so it was a really nice change for me. Whilst I absolutely loved it at the time, I'm now missing my long hair like a crazy lady. I'm so, SO desperate for it to grow.

Short hair has been great and everything, but I've found it's so much more effort than long hair. I can't really get away with not straightening or styling it, and I miss having long wavy hair :( Hair that you can get away with wearing messy and just chucking in a bun on the top of your head when you get home. All I have right now is a stumpy ponytail, sob.

The first stop to try and encourage my hair to grow, has been this Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment. I've been using this every day, as instructed, in-between washing and conditioning my hair.   
The one thing I absolutely LOVE about this product is the smell. It's absolutely divine and I love using in combination with my coconut shampoo and conditioner. Mmmmm.
I will say it has definitely improved the over-all condition of my hair, it feels full of body and very smooth & silky after I've used it.

Now for the negatives. I'll be honest, I don't really think I've had any real hair growth from this product, and I actually do think it's a little mis-leading, as it makes out to be some kind of miracle worker!
It also says to use an egg sized amount on your hair each time you use it, so as you can imagine, the tub runs out pretty quickly. At £8 a pop, I think that’s pretty bad for a high street product.

Over all, alhough I'm not sure this product actually works that well for me hair-growth wise, but I would re-purchase it again purely for the gorgeous smell (is that bad?) and the lovely condition it puts my hair in after I use it. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone looking for hair growth results though…

Have you tried Lee-Staffords Hair Growth Treatment before?
Have you got any hair growth products you can recommend, or just some tips for me?

Charles Worthington Front Row Hair Spray and Mousse

Hello little darlings,

how are your days going?

Mine's been a pretty relaxed one, reading blogs and magazines, and planning a little brownie baking session tonight.

Recently I’ve been trying out Charles Worthington Limited Edition Front Row Lasting Hairspray and Big hair Sculpting Mouse (both £6.29 for 200mls). I have to say, so far, so good!

Hairspray

I don’t really like to go too overboard with hairspray.

If you’re like me, and you just want a natural flexible style to be held in place without it appearing as though you have a head of hairspray, this is perfect. Especially for styling your fringe.

When I’m wearing this I don’t actually feel as though I have hairspray on, great huh?

It doesn’t leave that horrible sticky, crispy feeling, or look wet, no matter how much you use.

It leaves hair pretty flexible and able to move. I like to go stronger on hairspray at the root, and it's pretty darn good at holding that.

It lasts for hours, but I do tend to top up at some point in the day (I do this with all hairsprays though).

Lastly, I will say I am VERY picky when it comes to scents. I absolutely hate any kind of hair product with a really strong fragrance. I'd like to smell of my perfume thanks, not my hair products. So I was really pleasantly surprised when I actually liked this scent. I want to say it's kind of fruity, but it's just really fresh and nice to put in your hair.

Mousse

If you want to achieve a naturally voluminous barnet, it's just standard that you use a mousse before blow-drying, we all know that.

I find that this mousse was great to use alongside the hairspray for creating the extra volume.

I use a little squirt and scrunch it all through my wet hair, from root to tip, before blow drying with my head upside down.  

This does a very good job of lifting the hair at the root, but also just makes styling SO much easier.

This is how much I use, I have very long hair though, so you may not need as much as me. DON’T overload your hair with mousse; it’ll leave it feeling greasy and heavy.

There is a lot more oomph and body around my crown when I use this, and styling is easier weather you want straight or curly hair, as it makes your hair moldable and not floppy. I find if I use this mousse through the length of my hair before curling, my curls tend to stay in tact a lot better than if I'd just used spray.

Overall I have been really impressed with both of these little beauties,

I do NOT need a 200ml bottle in my bag… but I like these products so much, it hasn't stopped me from lugging them around with me!
