The new Love Your Curls campaign that Dove just launched in the US almost had me in tears…
I know exactly how those little girls feel. I hated my curls when I was younger. Kids can be very cruel. I think I made peace with my curls when I was about 20 and then I fell in love with my hair. I still constantly get asked why I don’t straighten my hair my ‘frizzy’, ‘fluffy’ hair. I love that my hair is wild and different. I hope that my little girl will feel the same way about hers. I hope that she loves her curls as much as we do.
I love that we have the same hair!
I hope the Dove #LoveYourCurls campaign and the new Quench Absolute range comes to our shores soon.
Who doesn’t like a bargain? And with Christmas around the corner, every cent counts.
Here is a round up of a couple of hair care products that I have been enjoying lately, and I’ve enjoyed them even more because of their price tags.
Creightons Argan Smooth Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
This is a great bargain buy! Both the shampoo and conditioner contain Argan Oil, smell lovely and retail for only R50 each. The range is for all hair types, which worried me a bit as my hair is dry, but both products worked like a charm: the shampoo cleaned without stripping and the conditioner left my hair feeling soft and smooth. Really worth a try. I was actually saving the tubes for an empties post… beauty lovers know that an ’empty’ means it’s a winner. Creightons is available at Pick ‘n Pay.
Dark and Lovely Amla Legend Oil
I’ve heard so many ladies talking about Amla oil and couldn’t resist popping it in my basket when I was doing my monthly cosmetics shopping at Clicks. I think it was only R50! The Amla Legend Oil of 7 Wonders is one of the top contenders for budget buy of the year. It is a lovely sweet smelling hair oil that smoothes, softens and adds brilliant shine. It works great as a treatment and a drop works wonders to smooth dry and frizzy ends. If you have very dry or coarse hair, you will not be disappointed with this oil. It is a very heavy oil, so those with very fine or oily hair may want to steer clear though.
Pantene Anti-Frizz Smooth Cream
This frizz fighter is designed for normal to thick hair but works perfectly with my super fine curls. It smoothes my hair and help to keep the frizzies at bay without weighing my hair down. Two thumbs up. R57
This luxurious gem is only disguised (and priced) as a budget beauty. Look:
Air whipped loveliness packed with 4 moisturisers
This leave-in conditioner will transform even the driest hair into silky soft locks. No stickiness, no greasiness, just beautifully soft hair that smells divine. A little goes a long way… please note that the huge dollop in the pic was just to show you how gorgeous it looks. And I promise, it feels just as good as it looks. R67.
