I'm baaaaack! Exams are over and my holidays have begun! I know things will take some time to pick up again round here but I have four whole months off and plenty of fun things I want to share with you guys and hopefully I'll be able to keep the momentum going into my next year of uni.
I just wanted to come back with a product I've been testing out recently, the Backcomb In A Bottle spray. It's a clear mist that you spritz into the roots of your hair and massage in to make perfect tousled bed hair. I've heard people complain that this makes their hair greasy and it does a little but as I usually only use it on nights out for extra volume and wash my hair the morning after it's not really a problem at all.
Despite this it does exactly what it claims, and creates a lovely fluffy volume that gives an 'undone' look to hairstyles. I like to curl my hair before a night out and mist this all over and massage it in by hand before softly brushing through. Cue instant bed-head hair!
I do recommend this product, particularly if you backcomb regularly and want to find a less damaging alternative for your hair. While I might not give as much volume as you want, it would certainly mean you require less teasing and general hair torture! Plus it holds well but washes out easily and leaves no gross residue.

One of my 2013 promises to myself (not really a resolution as it's hardly a serious life changing thing) is to take better care of my hair. Come the end of last year my hair was a wreck: over-bleached, dry and matted and just generally a horrible thing to have on my head! Now it's returned to an easier to maintain colour and has be cut and thinned so all the tangles are out and it feels so much healthier. I just need to put in the effort of keeping it that way!

I'd been seeing reviews on hair serums and decided to opt for something that had good reviews, but was still affordable. I ended up with this and I do really like it. I wasn't sure quite how to use it or what to expect but after a bit of trial and error I've found it a godsend.

After washing and towel drying my hair I use two pumps run through the midlengths and massaged into the ends before brushing through and blowdrying. My hair looks and feels considerably softer and smoother when I use this regularly, and at around £6.99 a bottle it's far easier on the old student budget than thirty quid's worth of Moroccan oil! I do only use this twice a week however, as much more and I find my hair getting greasy quicker.

I am interested in investing in a more luxurious hair oil in the future when I've got a bit more money to spend, but right now this one's doing me just fine. Let me know if you have any hair treatments you swear by.
