Current Hair Care Products


Apologies for seeming to have fallen of the face of the earth the past week. I have been working for the Brisbane Ekka and have been flat out catering functions and selling enough dagwood dogs to feed another country. I'll definitely be making a post sharing my experience at the Ekka but for the mean time I thought I would share what current hair care products I'm using, before I have to leave for work again!


I'm pretty boring when It comes to shampoo and conditioner, for the last 6 months or longer I have been using the Tresemme Colour Thrive blonde shampoo and Moisture Rich conditioner. The 900ml bottles last me for ever especially considering I usually only wash my hair every three days, and I feel that the two really help keep my damaged bleached hair at bay. Although, as my hair pretty much soaks up as much moisture as It can get, I like to spray the Silk Oil of Morocco leave-in conditioning spray into my damp hair after washing. I think the morrocon oil helps the condition of my hair, but overall I just like the smell of the product and the wavy curls it creates. And of course Coconut Oil is amongst the products I use, I like to do a deep treatment at least once every two weeks, so I'll put this coconut oil  by Cococare In my hair for about an hour, once rinsed out I feel like I could be in a shampoo advertisement, it makes your hair so soft and I truly believe there isn't a better product for your hair!


As I bleach my hair myself, I use purple products to avoid any nasty brassy colours. I particularly like the Schwarzkopf Extra Care Blonde toner, It's easy just to chuck in my hair for a few minutes before conditioning and It definitely helps eliminate any brassiness. Just for extra measure I like to mix a pea size amount of the Paint box purple haze fudge into my conditioner, this is left over from dying my hair bright purple all over when I was younger, so I like to use it up by creating a purple conditioner with the Tresseme moisture rich. I have to be careful when mixing the two as if I'm not thorough I'll have splotches of purple In my hair! Heat styling doesn't happen often as my hair is quite dry, but when I do heat style I always use a heat protectant, the one I'm currently using is the Tresseme spray, It has the best application nozzle for applying all over your hair! And last but not least is Bastiste dry shampoo, It saves me in-between washing if my hair doesn't look as fresh as Id like it to be,  I love the smell too, I will forever repurchase!

Well that is all the hair care products I'm currently using, I like to switch it up by using a hair care sample in-between products, but other than that I'm pretty boring! Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll find the time to be posting regularly again soon!

  3. I've been using the Silk Oil Of Morroco Argan Oil and I have been really happy with it. Find it performs just as well, if not better, than Morrocan Oil the brand Argan Oil. Like that it is an Australian Company.
    Great post. I miss being blonde but not the upkeep :-)

    1. Thank you! Sounds like I need to get my hands on the oil. And yes sometimes I think about throwing in the towel and dying my hair brown, but then I think of all of the money I spent getting to my current colour and decide to keep the blonde going haha :)
