Aussie 3 minute miracle Review

Hello lovely people,

I had mentioned in my previous beauty post that I enjoy trying new hair products. I found one of the Aussie product that I really wanted to try. It's Aussie 3 minute miracle moist deep conditioner. I bought an 8 fl oz squeeze tube from Walmart for just about $3.00. 




I have a thick, dry hair and I need a good conditioner to keep it in good shape. Normally, I just use my moisturizing hydralicious reconditioning conditioner after shampooing my hair but since I found this 3 minute miracle product I've been skipping my conditioner. What I do is first I shampoo my hair and rinse it, then I apply a good amount of this deep conditioning cream through my hair. While the conditioner is doing it's job, I use my face scrub, relax for few minutes and then rinse my hair. This product directs you to leave on the conditioner for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, then rinse with warm water and again with cool water. After washing my hair, i noticed it was soft and smooth and it smells good too.

I'm planning to use this deep conditioner once or twice a week. It is a simple and affordable way to fix your dry, damaged hair. I think it's an excellent product and the price makes it even better. I wouldn't exactly recommend it for thin hair because you might encounter oily hair after using this product, but for thick, dry or damaged hair I would definitely say Yes to this Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner.

Thank you all for reading. I hope it's helpful for some of you who are looking for a deep conditioner.

Lots of love. :)

How do u choose your hair products?

Hi wonderful people,

What do you look for when you buy a hair product? Do you look for any that is less expensive or do you look for the one that is labeled according to your hair type or do you simply pick your favorite brand product regardless of what hair type that specifies? As for me, I would look for the brands that I like and is affordable because I like trying different kinds to see which fits my hair type better.
  

I've always loved Dove products so I like sticking with it when it comes to shampoo. I do try different shampoos once in a while but I tend to switch back to Dove. These days, I've been using Dove damage therapy intensive repair shampoo to prevent any split ends and breakage. It has micro moisture serum that strengthens and nourishes hair from root to tip and fiber actives that deeply penetrates to reconstruct it. For conditioner I'm using Herbal Essences hydralicious reconditioning conditioner. It gives moisture to my dry hair and also keeps it very soft. I've recently started using Herbal Essences set me up mousse with extra hold to keep my hair in place and frizz free.

When I use a blow dryer or a flat iron I use Tresemme heat tamer spray. I've also been using John Frieda frizz-ease heat defeat spray sometimes but personally, I like the Tresemme one just because it makes my hair look better. I had heard John Frieda frizz-ease keeps your hair frizz free but it didn't do that in my case. My hair looked very dry, dull and frizzy while I used it so I'm going to stick with the Tresemme spray until I find a new one that I want to try. I've used John Frieda hair serum and the hair spray and both had worked well with my hair but I didn't like the heat defense one. The next hair product you can see in the picture is a glossing cream that my boyfriend had got from Great Clips. First of all, it smells great, it's just amazing and the glossing cream makes your hair very soft and smooth. Overall, I like it.

So far, these are some hair products I like which are very affordable and I'm still open to try new products that I would love; I haven't found one yet but will definitely share with you if i find something that's great.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you guys have a great day.

Avoid your split ends

Hello there,

I've always had problem with split ends. Right after my high school I started coloring and hi-lighting my hair just for a change and then I started getting addicted to hair dyes, perming products, straightening chemicals and what not. I knew that I was welcoming split ends but what I didn't know was how bad they could be and what harm they could do to my hair. So five years after that I was done playing with chemicals and I wanted a healthy hair which seemed impossible because of how bad my hair had become. The only thing I liked about split ends was that I could literally pass my whole day playing with split ends and pulling them separate.


No one would want to hear this but everything we do to make our hair look beautiful causes split ends. We cannot fix them, but we can definitely prevent them. Once we get split ends, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off, so we should be very careful how we're treating our hair. I would say that we should take care of our hair as we do our face.

To avoid split ends, there are some prevention steps that we can take.
  • Avoid blow drying and heat styling as much as you can, and if you cannot give it up, definitely use a lower heat setting and apply a heat protection spray or serum.
  • Trim your hair every six to eight weeks. You can even do it yourself at home; do not use blunt scissors because they damage the ends and cause more split ends.
  • Your hair is more vulnerable when it is wet so do not brush wet hair. You could use a wide-toothed comb instead while wet and for dry hair use natural bristle brush.
  • Regularly deep condition your hair and more frequently if you have a very dry hair. It'll help to regain the lost moisture and keep your hair healthier.
  • On a very sunny day, if you are not going to wear a hat, use shampoo with sunscreen or a leave-in conditioner to protect your hair from sun damage.
These steps have helped my hair grow better than what it used to be. So no more spending my time playing with split ends; I'm rather using it to do something useful. Thank you all for reading. Have a great day.

Lots of love!
