Luscious Locks| Lee Stafford Hair Growth| Review

A few months ago I was the victim of a scissor happy hair dresser, this resulted in having hair that was much shorter than the couple of inches trim I had asked for. Not enjoying my new short bob I decided that this was the time to invest in Lee Stafford Hair Growth products. My best friend used these products before her graduation and enjoyed them, and after seeing many other bloggers both rave and slate this product, I decided to give it a go myself and form my own opinion.

Lee Stafford claim that this product range contains a pro-Growth complex formula for strength within. This protein based complex will fertilize your follicles, and create a healthy environment on your scalp helping your hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential length.

I purchased the shampoo and conditioner from Boots, each cost £6.99, but they are often on three for two, so you can make a saving. For me £6.99 is quite pricey for a shampoo so I did have high hopes for this product.

I have used this product for for around 2 months now, so feel I have tried it enough to give a fair and true opinion.

Firstly this product made my hair amazingly soft and shiny, it is possibly the shiniest it has ever been. I also noticed that when using this product my hair became a lot stronger. I am a girl who seems to loose my entire head of hair while showering, I literally malt everywhere; my family and boyfriend hate it. However I noticed when using this product my hair did not malt as much as previously.

More importantly, did it make my hair grow? Well judging by the picture above of my awful roots I would say it does make it grow quicker. Obviously the only accurate way of measuring this would be to measure my hair growth rate both with and without this product then compare the results; however I am not that scientific so will just give you my opinion. My roots in the picture above are around 2/3 inches and based on own hair, this is a pretty good hair growth rate. Even after only a month of usage I was much happier with the length of my hair, as it was nearing the length it was prior to it being cut.

Overall I am very happy with this shampoo, I am one of those on the side of the fence that says this product does make your hair grow. But above all that it has left my hair in a beautiful condition; strong, soft, sleek and shiny.

Have you ever tried this product before? Are you sceptical as I was prior to using it? What is you favourite shampoo and conditioner for soft shiny hair?

Montagne Jeunesse| The summer sun in my bathroom

As like many other bloggers out there I was contacted by Montagne Jeunesse and asked whether I would be interested in reviewing some of their new products, and like others I jumped at the chance. I have previously posted many times about older Montagne Jeunesse products as I am a loyal customer to the brand and have grown up using their many face-masks; admiring their dedication to natural products and their friendliness to animals,  however as always this review is not biased and my honest opinion.

On to the product. I received the Travel Pamper Pack which contains 5 different products in 6 separate sachets, in a handy little pack. Montagne Jeaunesse describe the product as follows;

‘Treat yourself on the go naturally! Whether you’re jetting off for a weekend city break, a hen night abroad or a last minute get away, this is the ultimate little pampering luxury that fits cosily in your hand luggage. An infusion of natural goodies, packed full of the most invigorating and refreshing ingredients for a perfect top to toe pamper treat.’

I chose to dedicate a night to relaxing and trying each of the products, and my review of each follows.

Passion Peel Off Masque- I loved the smell of this product, it was very fruity and delicious. I am not the biggest fan of peel off masks as I don’t feel them working on my skin unlike mud masks, however when applying this product I could feel it tingling which pleased me. I did find it very thick when applying and it did take a while to dry. An ok product but not my cup of tea.

Skin Smoother- This product can be used on face and body, I chose to use it mainly on my face, but also my elbows and knees, and I was thoroughly impressed. I love St Ives Apricot scrub and have never found a product that competes with this, until now. This scrub was amazing! The little beads of apricot were tough but did not aggrivate my skin, just got right into the little nooks around my nose etc. When washed off, my blackheads were a lot smoother and reduced in appearance, and my skin was as soft as a babies bum. I will definitely be buying this product again.

Body Wash- Wow this was like the summer in my shower. The orangey smell was divine, very strong, so if you don’t like citrus smells then this is not for you. The shower gel sachet would do at least two washes, as there is plenty of product, and it lathered up incredibly well. I did enjoy this product and see it as a good treat.

Foot Cooler- This was a strange little product. It claimed to clean and refresh tired feet by rubbing the gel into your feet and leaving it the change into a powder. The product did exactly as it described; my feet have never felt so refreshed, so much so they tingled for about 10 minutes afterwards. I would thoroughly enjoy this product while on holiday as it left me feeling really refreshed, however in cooler weather it made them feel cold. 

Intensive Spa Hair Masque- I’m not the biggest user of hair masks, as my hair is in pretty good condition so find that they don’t actually leave my hair in any better condition than if I use a conditioner. What I enjoyed from this product was the smell, yet again it was like summer.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my pamper pack! It made me feel very summery as all the product smelt amazing. I think the whole concept is great. As it mentions if you are going away for the weekend it has everything you need instead of taking a whole cosmetic bag, and for girls like me who need all the space you can get for shoes and clothes this product is perfect.
