Hair Care Wishlist


 Welcome to a new post!

A few weeks back I posted skin care and make-up wishlists, so I thought it would finally be the time to do a hair inspired wishlist post. 

I love trying out new hair stuff, the only problem is that my hair doesn't, which is why I haven't tried most of the stuff that is a bit more expensive, as I don't want to invest in it and then not be able to use it. At some point I am going to invest in these products though, wether that is tomorrow or in two years time. I really want to try them, so here's my list.

 
1) ghd V gold classic styler
150€/170$/£118

Starting off with a styling product, though I basically curl or straighten my hair around three times a year, is a bit of a weird one I have to confess. But that is mainly because all I own is a 10€ curler from the local drugstore, which is alright if you want really big curls that drop after half an hour, even with hair spray. I love my hair both curly and straight, so I really want to invest in a product like this to do more with my hair, apart from putting it into buns and pony tails.


2) ogx hydrating macadamia oil Shampoo
8€/$9/£6

I have been eyeing the ogx shampoos up, ever since I first walked past them in London last year, and I have wanted to try them even more since they started to sell them in German drugstores. I mean, I probably mainly want to try them because I love their packaging, which is a bit stupid, but I see so many people talking about these, that I think they could be worth a try!


3) ogx Renewing Morroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil
9€/$10/£7

I love a good hair oil, so I also want to try one of the ogx ones, as my hair usually reacts a lot better to oils than shampoos and conditioners. They come in really cute tubes, and I think it would be the perfect size for travelling as well. I haven't heard as much about the oils as the shampoos, but I don't see why they shouldn't be good as well.


 4) Bumble and bumble Gentle Shampoo
 9€/$10/£7

Another brand that I have been eyeing up for ages, and I had planned to pick something up from Bumble and bumble, until I saw the prize in Boots or Superdrug and my jaw dropped. I do however still want to try them, even though a lot of their stuff is quite pricey. I have chosen the Gentle shampoo, as it sounded like something quite moisturizing and shine creating, but not to harsh on my hair.


5) Kérastase Cristalliste Bain Cristal Luminous Perfecting Shampoo for Thick Hair
15€/$17/£12

Kérastase is another brand on the pricier side of hair care, but I also want to try some of their stuff, as people have been talking about the brand for ages. Also, can we please talk about the colour and packaging in general of this shampoo. I have also got quite thick hair, so a 'perfecting shampoo' sounds like a nice thing to try for me, and see what it does. They have a pretty big range of tons of different shampoos for different kinds of hairs, so make sure to check them out if you are able and want to invest a little bit more money into your hair.


6) Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
15€/$17/£12

This shampoo has been all over youtube for the past few weeks, and especially Fleur de Force has been talking about how much she loves this a lot. To be fair, I don't think I would have ever thought about picking this up before anyone started talking about it, but now I am pretty interested to see what is meant to be so amazing about this shampoo, that people are raving it so much. I don't really have colour-treated hair, since I have never dyed my hair before, but that ain't a reason for me not to try it. A shampoo is a shampoo in some cases, I guess ;).


7) Macadamia Professional Nourish & Repair Mini Set
32€/$37/£26

The times were every youtube and blogger used to talk about the macadamia products seems to have cooled down, I feel like, but they are still on my wishlist. The price always kinda put me off, but I found this set, and now I am pretty eager to try it soon, as it contains all the three products of their range which I would like to try, talking about the mask, oil treatment and shampoo.


8) Wet Brush
18€/$17/£14

Another product that a few people have been talking about on youtube, and some even saying that is better than the Tangle Teezer. I bloody love my Tangle Teezer, and I don't know what I would do without it, but I think I still might have to give it a try, if it is meant to be that good. They also sell them in bigger and smaller sizes, so this might be a better travel alternative than the Tangle Teezer, if it actually ends up being a good one.


9) Moroccanoil Treatment
starting at 15€/$17/£12

This probably the product I have wanted to try for the longest since I started getting more into hair care, and it's still on my list, maybe not as high on it as it used to be though. It's a little pricey, but I feel like it would be something perfect to treat me and my hair to during a time where I am styling my hair a bit more often due to lots of festive activities.


How did you like this post? Do you have any other recommendations what hair care products I should try? Let me know what products are on your own list as well, I'd honestly love to find out! :)

Have a great weekend :)

Rituals Carpe Diem Shampoo Review



Welcome to a new post!

I wasn't really sure what to talk about today, but then my the shampoo I am currently trying out fell into my hands, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to tell you what I thought about it, as I hadn't tried it before.

The shampoo that I am talking about is the Rituals Carpe Diem Shampoo for frizzy hair. I got a small size of it in a set for my birthday, and I wasn't quite sure, wether I should try it or not. My hair has always been a little problematic, and usually it's fine for the first two washes, but after that it usually shows it's actual impact on my hair. But I ended up actually wanting to try it, so that is what I did.


Firstly, the small size comes with a normal screw, which is a bit annoying when you have got shampoo in your hand, but have to try to screw the lid back on at the same time. It contains 70 ml. The big and actual version should be around 9,50€ for 250ml of the shampoo, which actually comes in a different and round bottle.

The consistancy of the shampoo is quite thick, which is nice, because it doesn't go everywhere when you are rubbing it between your hands. I am not 100% sure about the smell though. It smells a bit to strong for me, but I am not much of a fan of the Rituals smells in general, so that is fine. I have actually smelled worse things.

I personally didn't feel any difference in my hair for about the first four washes, and was really exited to tell you all about it, as it actually felt like it also didn't feel greasy as soon as with my other shampoo. It actually made my hair feel quite nice and soft, even though I have had times when it actually was softer. It didn't made my hair go greasy that fast, as already mentioned, and my hair actually didn't go as frizzy after blow drying it, as I easily get problems with that.

But then the 5th time washing it came, which usually is the turning point, if it hasn't happend during the washes before that yet. My hair felt normal after showering, but when I blow dried it, it got completely frizzy, and after my workout it felt greasier than ever. 
The next morning when I got up, it also didn't look right either. It was completely out of place, looking flat and some streeks went greasy and it generally just looked unwashed.

I really thought I had found an alternative, if they ever discontinued my holy grail shampoo, but sadly I haven't. However I am pretty happy I actually got to try it, as I probably never would have bought it myself.

I definetely think it is worth to try the shampoo, but maybe in the smaller version, especially when you have got quite sensetive hair as I do. I guess you will have to make yourself an own opinion by trying it, as it seems to really depend on the hair structure.



I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know, wether you have tried any of the Rituals shampoos, and if so what you thought of it.

See you soon, with another blogpost. :)

Love, Jacqueline Xx

Hair Care Loves


 Welcome to a new post!

When I was younger it didn't really matter to me what products I used on my hair, and I absolutely hated washing it, because it took so long to dry. After one half of my hair had literally broken off, and my hair dresser had to cut of a lot of hair to make it look even, I finally started caring about it a lot more. Since then I've been trying out loads of products, and I've finally found the perfect products to keep my hair in perfect shape.


My hair dresser used this on my hair when she had to cut all of that hair off, to help get it back in shape. I was literally shocked how soft my hair was afterwards. I have been using the Goldwell Pure Repair Shampoo ever since then, and if it wouldn't be 8 Euros for a bottle of 250ml I would never even have the slightest thought about searching an alternative. If you have damaged or dry hair, get your hands on this one! It's my holy grail hair product!

The Garnier Wonder Oil also has been part of my routine for nearly 2 years, and has really helped to prevent my endings from splitting! It also takes forever to use up. I only just bought a new bottle, after using the first one for about 2 years I guess (whoopsie :D)


We all know that moment when you are too lazy to wash your hair, even though it is desperate for a wash. My favourite dry shampoos are the Batiste and the Colab one. They are both amazing, and I can't really decide which one I prefer more. I think the Bastiste one gives a bit more volume, while the Colab doesn't make my hair feel so gross. 


I had not been very keen on Invisebobbles when they first came out, but then I tried them, and I don't really like using any other hair ties anymore. I love them, and they really are worth their money!


My last favourite hair product, which I could not live without, is my Tangle Teezer. This is also one of the best things I ever invested in. It is live changing! I used to have so many knots in my hair and never get them out, since I've been using this and the shampoo I rarely ever get any. Invest in it if you haven't already, you'll be amazed!

What is one hair product that you could not live without? Let me know. :)
