Introducing Shampooheads Professional PLUS a review

Shampooheads Professional is a new salon hair care range created by Geoff and Colette Bell who together have over 30 years of industry and educational expertise.

Designed and developed with major contributions from Teens and Tweens, including their very own kids, who were the inspiration behind the Shampooheads Professional range.

The input by ‘kids for kids’ was crucial to create the look and feel of the products and also provided true insights into the thought processes and demands of modern day Teens and Tweens.

Quite simply, we asked, we listened, as a result we created a market driven product range: The Original Salon Professional Haircare range for Teens and Tweens – BY KIDS, FOR KIDS.

Strawberry Kiss Detangler and Blow Dry Spray Review

Strawberry Kiss Detangler review

Cara and I (yes, me too!) are currently using the Strawberry Kiss Detangler and Blow Dry Spray. First things first, it smells gorgeous. I give Cara’s curls an extra spritz every now and then because the scent is that divine. And how cute is the packaging? Well done Shampooheads.

Shampooheads Strawberry Kiss Detangler and Blow Dry Spray Review

I’ve used it on Cara’s hair (wet and dry) to help comb out knots and it works beautifully. It helps to shape her curls and doesn’t weigh down her hair at all.

It also works like a charm to refresh my hair before wash day as it helps to reshape my curls a bit.

Next I want to try the Tropical Twist shampoo and conditioner on Cara’s curls. I’ll let you know what we think.

How to make Play Dough

My aunt gave me this play dough recipe (that she found on livingwellmom.com) a couple of years ago and it is the best thing ever!

How to make Play Dough

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
  • ⅓ cup of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil ( I prefer to use a little more)
  • food colouring

Instructions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients, except the colouring, in a pot.
  2. Cook the mixture over medium heat whilst stirring. Once it begins to thicken, you can add the food colouring*.
  3. Continue stirring until the mixture is much thicker and begins to gather around the spoon. Don’t worry about the lumps**!
  4. Remove from heat and put the dough on wax paper or a plate to cool.

* I prefer to add the colouring after the ‘cooking process’. I usually double the recipe and after the dough has cooled a bit, I divide it in 4 and then add a different colour to each. This is obviously a little more messy, but a lot more fun! Cara helps me to colour the dough and it gives her little fingers a good workout.

** Don’t stress when you see those lumps! I made a batch yesterday and once again thought that I messed up, but the lumps start to disappear as you ‘cook’ and any remaining lumps will be kneaded out whilst you colour the dough.

Make sure to store your dough in an air tight container or ziplock bags.

There you have it. Quick, easy, simple and non-toxic. And much cheaper than store bought dough. The dough also seems to last a lot longer and it does not dry out too quickly. If it does get a bit dry, you can just add a drop of oil or water, give it a good knead, and the dough is good to go.

Let me know if you’ve tried this recipe or have any of your own to share.
