February Favourites (HAIR)

This is my first 'favourites' post, and what better time to do it than the start of the following month. This is just the hair stuff I've been loving during the month of February, things I can't live without! It will consist of my favourite shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and heat tool.


Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo
Love this...it has reduced the amount of hair I lose when I wash my hair!

L'Oréal Elvive Full Restore 5 - 60 Second Saviour Intensive Conditioner
One of my favourite intensive conditioners! Leaves my hair soft, shiny, more manageable, tangle-free and smelling gorgeous!

Hask Argan Oil Healing Shine Treatment
Smells amazing, leaves my hair shiny. I use it especially on the ends of my hair, as I think they get the worst whack of the hair straightener. This oil stops them from getting so dry.

BaByliss Curling Wand 2285U
I can't even express how much I love this! I have a full review here!
