Washing my hair routine

 

  Ok so from left to right is the products I use to get my hair looking sleek and straight for at least 3 days until it needs washing again. So obviously I wash my hair first then towel dry it. If I don't towel dry it and leave it to dry naturally it looks like the image on the bottom left however it does have some product in it. Anyway I use the 'Umberto Giannini Salon Straight Blow Dry Cream' after reading the Boots review on this product and seeing its 4star rating. It says to 'help give even the most brittle locks smooth and sleek control'. Now for me this is really important! Even though my hair doesn't look to bad in the image below beleive me it has a lot of product on in the image and without it, its a mess. I put a pound coin size in my hands and run it through my towel dried damp hair. I then brush it through with a comb and blow dry as usual. 

 I LOVE this product and would highly recommend it. 

Secondly I use the Paul Mitchell 'Hot Off The Press' as a heat protectant spray. It says to 'protect fragile strands from damaged caused by heat styling'. The consistency of this product is a little different to a regular heat spray as it isn't a water based type but more of a hairspray kind of substance. It's hard to explain but I love this product as I recently had all my hair cut and now ensure my hair is protected as much as possible! I section off pieces of hair and spray this in mainly on the ends and then straighten. 

In the third images you can see I use GHD's to straighten my hair which I've had for years and are so so reliable. I love them because they never snag on my hair and still work perfectly after 3 years. 

Finally once straight I use a serum to calm my hair down and keep it looking shiny and sleek. My hair bounces back quite quickly because of its frizz so this product helps me tame it. I put a pea size in my hands and work it on the ends of my hair but NEVER the roots or else it gets greasy. I like this product but sometimes if I put even the slightest bit more on it becomes greasy quite quickly.

  The image on the left was taken last summer which is my natural hair with a bit of conditioner and sea salt spray and other stuff so it looks relatively decent! The image on the right was just the other day. As you can see my hair is much shorter :( but In such good condition and hopefully won't take too long to grow back! 

 

I put it up to show you what it looks like tied back. I have very thick hair and by doing all of this you can see my hair looks much neater and thinner in the ponytail. I'm not a fan of having my hair looking all neat because of my egg shaped head! :( and I love wearing it messy. 

Oh and my ootd!
