The Hyaluronic Hydration Hair Mask from Lee Stafford is part of a larger range of Lee Stafford products for moisturizing hair.  The hair mask uses hyaluronic acid to enrich your hair and prevent it from breaking, plus giving a sleeker look, and in turn, making it more manageable. 

The instructions recommend that you cover your hair from root to tip and work in the formular using a comb to ensure overall coverage, leaving it for 5-10 minutes. I prefer to leave in for a bit longer and massage the mask into the ends, especially if it’s been a while since your last haircut (like mine is now!) and in need of TLC.  You add the mask after shampoo (Lee Stafford also have Hydrating shampoo and conditioners at Boots) and then rinse off, using the Lee Stafford conditioner too.

It smells wonderful – like a summer fruit fragrance that reminds me of the 1990s Body Shop products! It left my hair softer and with the fruity scent too. Over time, the repair should build up so that hair is stronger and longer.  I found that on hair with dry ends, it made all of the length of hair softer after just one treatment, then when I got my hair cut, it was great at hydrating my hair enough to get the soft curls back in.  It’s perfect for summer too, with the light fragrance giving your hair an additional impact!

She’s Thick Growth Oil

With a brand now of “She’s Thick” and a tagline of, “She’s not thick, but her hair is,” then you can guess that this company has a sense of humour!  She’s Thick is a hair and scalp oil which uses botanicals to promote hair growth and restore the thickness and nutrients to bleached hair. She’s Thick has a few products for hair growth, and they’re geared towards all hair colours, so there’s more to explore if you’re not blonde!

The recyclable glass bottle has a pipette for the colourless oil which you dab onto your scalp and massage in. The oil contains rosemary and peppermint (which you can smell in the tincture) to stimulate stronger hair growth and jojoba, camellia and coconut oils for hydration. It’s a light-weight formula so you don’t see or feel it, but you do get the botanical scent when you wear it which is actually quite fragrant.

I used this before I washed my hair and massaged into my hairline, parting line and scalp.  It works on the roots to strengthen hair that might be damaged through bleaching. After you’ve massaged your scalp for up to 5 minutes, you can run the rest of the oil through the ends of your hair to give a hydrating lift to your colour, which isn’t dulled by the oil but in effect adds a shine. You can leave the treatment in for up to 30 minutes or even longer if your hair is particularly dry or damaged, then shampoo and condition as needed. You can use it every time you wash your hair.

I have been using She’s Thick for several weeks now, washing my hair every other day. You don’t need much of the oil to make a difference, and although I have dark blonde highlights, the oil still works on the rest of my colour to restore a shine. Over time I hope to see my hair get much thicker (who doesn’t?) but for the moment you can see where the treatment works to add hydration to the ends and nourishment to the roots.
