Johnny’s Chop Shop Barber Hair Care
I have been inundated over the last year with Barber Shop products, with every salon and barber-revival shop creating their own products – most of them are average at best. Johnny’s Chop Shop is different (and the reason I’m posting it) as the products not only speak to me (I’m never going to use a…

Rahua Jet Setter Hair Travel Kit
If you’ve yet to discover Rahua, you can read all about the brand in my article on their original Shampoo and Conditioner here. This travel kit, perfect for 2, contains both pairs of shampoos and conditioners – the original and the volumising. I can say that I’ve been using these travel minis for a while every…

Well it’s here. Launching today is the long awaited Aveda Invati Men; a hair loss and hair thinning treatment duo from Aveda created off the back of the wildly successful original Aveda Invati range. Designed to deliver instant and long-term scalp exfoliation, this guide shows you exactly what to do. How does Aveda Invati Men…

Rahua Elixir Daily Hair Drops
I’ve been using Rahua for a while now (see my review of the shampoo and conditioner here) and now more than ever after a pretty horrendous hair colour fiasco a few weeks ago (7 hours of it) which has left my hair the colour it should be but in pretty naff condition. However, this launch…

NEW Aveda Invati MEN
UPDATE: Read the NEW Aveda Invati Men Review here I am owed money! After being invited to last night’s previously vague Aveda men’s launch, I’d cunningly deduced that they’d finally be launching the phenomenon that is Aveda Invati, but this time for men and they did not disappoint. I was delighted to be seated next to Darren…

Klorane Volumising Quinine B6 Shampoo & Conditioner
I’ve not used Klorane before despite spending a large amount of my time in Spain and seeing it in almost every Pharmacy around. Being a largely Pharmacy sold product, they’ve taken a very pharmaceutical approach to their formulations; sort of the hair care equivalent of La Roche-Posay or Vichy. Klorane Quinine B6 utilises the astringent…

Rahua Amazon Hair Care Christmas Gift
A few months back I attended a launch for Rahua (oh that reminds me, I can tell you about it now – will post ASAP) and was absolutely blown away by the brand. Their ethics, ingredients and efficacy are mesmerising. The brand’s founders, Fabian Lliguin and Anna Ayers, are 2 truly inspiring people with a real…

The heat is killing me. I’ve never handled heat well, and on the coldest days in winter I can step out in jeans and a t-shirt. I’m just a hot person (although I’m sure many would beg to differ). I know this sounds ridiculous and “well, duh”, but please remember to drink more water than…

E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo Review: Is It Any Good?
Yes, E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo is a good, no-nonsense option if your scalp is dry, itchy or flaking, and no, there is nothing in it that causes hair loss. It sits in that odd middle ground between a pharmacy product and a cosmetic, and it does the calming job it sets out to do without…

The Body Shop Banana Shampoo & Conditioner
Amoxil. You might not remember the name, but I’m 99% certain you’ll remember the gorgeous sugary taste of that banana flavoured antibiotic liquid you got as a kid. Well that is the amazing smell of the Banana shampoo and conditioner by The Body Shop; an old classic from the early days of the brand, repackaged and available…
