We here at The AmazingBlog love trying out new hair cuts, colours, and styles. However, all that styling can take a toll on our hair’s health. We have here some of our favourite products which protect and strengthen locks so your hair is always ready to try out the latest trend!

Healthy hair starts from the scalp. YarokFeed Your Youth Hair and Scalp Serum is a great way to keep your hair beautiful and strong. This serum has a powerful combination of essential oils, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to promote hair health from scalp to roots. We found that a little goes a long way, so just three drops of product worked into my scalp was the perfect amount. Leave in for about 10 minutes before shampooing and conditioning. At The Amazing Blog we love green companies, so we are proud that three percent of Yarok’s annual profits are donated to the Pachamama Alliance to help protect over 10 million acres of rainforests. You can purchase YarokFeed Your Youth Hair and Scalp Serum here for $22

Ruby Red’s Hair Oil Treatment is another perfect solution for damaged hair. Olive, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, and Coconut oils help replenish nutrients and vitamins to dry, dull hair. If frizziness is an issue for you, we found this oil calmed mine down whilst also helping my split ends. Apply it from the roots through to the ends of your hair and leave it for around 30 minutes so it can work thoroughly through the hair. The oil felt amazing in my hands as it’s so soft and glides easily, I was almost tempted to use it as a body oil also! Something that makes this oil quite special is that Ruby Red carefully hand-blends their products for maximum therapeutic benefit to maximise your pampering experience. The oil is £25.00 for 100ml and can be found here. It’s a really lovely product and is ideal for showing your hair some love.

Love how your hair looks after it is coloured, but hate having to deal with roots or regrowth? Never worry about hair colour that doesn’t match again with Root Cover Up by WOW! This unique powder compound covers up grey roots and regrowth without making hair appear dull. The formula is water-resistant, so the powder will hold even while you swim or sweat, but easily washes out with shampoo. The powder has a variety of colour pigments and reflective particles to help blend in with different hair colours. WOW Root Cover Up is available in Platinum, Blonde, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, and Black. We tried the Medium Brown shade and found it blended nicely with hair colour without feeling too heavy or dry. Simply apply the powder to dry and styled hair, starting at the scalp and working your way outward. After applying to your scalp, use on your temples or any other patches of grey hair. I love how bright and vibrant my hair colour looked after applying just a little powder! You can buy Root Cover Up by WOW for £28.50here.

Even more frustrating than knotty hair is a hairbrush that pulls and rips at your strands. Air Motion is a revolutionary hair brush that gentlydetangles and smoothes hair. Air Motion has three bristle lengths that help hair strands glide through the brush instead of getting tangled in the bristles. The head of the brush uses AirShock absorption technology to provide an air cushioned, sensitive hair brushing experience. We loved using this brush, because it felt like a head massage as the bristles ran through our hair. Invented and designed in the UK, this hair brush detangles knots and reduces frizz while treating your scalp to a relaxing experience. Air Motion is available here for £11.95.

We love the look of soft curls, but we never have enough patience or time to curl my hair. That all changed with the Curl Secretby BaByliss which is quick and easy to use - I have shoulder length hair and can curl my whole head in about 10 minutes. The Curl Secret is unlike any other curler, because you do not have to wrap individual pieces around a rod. Instead, the Curl Secret draws sections of hair into a ceramiccurl chamber where it is gently heated to create a curl. Release the clamp and voila, a perfectcurl! We were pleasantly surprised to see that curls lasted throughout the day. You can experiment with two heat settings and three timer settings to change up your look. Check out the video below to see a demonstration of how it works. You can purchase the BaByliss CurlSecretherefor £119.99.

With so many skincare brands available it's often hard to know which one to opt for. And with the shelves of shops fit to burst with choice, it can be all too easy to choose the most brightly packaged, or the one that's on offer, rather than taking time to select one that's right for our skin type.

Ruby Red Cosmetics was founded in 2008 by Mike and Martine Ruby who combined their passion for botanical ingredients with their love for design to create a brand whose core belief centred around natural products Having previously worked for cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden, it was an eighteen month sabbatical around SE Asia that inspired Martine to start Ruby Red, having witnessed the way in which natural ingredients were used in everyday life without a chemical substitute.

And so they created a fabulous product range suitable for all types of skin, including those who are sensitive to harsh chemicals and synthetics. Botanical ingredients are used, which means all of Ruby Red’s products are free from harsh chemicals, parabens, perfumes and dyes and they are never tested on animals so you can rest assured that their products really are top notch.

The Reviving Body Wash that we at The Amazing Blog tried out was every bit as wonderful as it sounded. Made from the natural cleansing foaming agents of coconut and corn with Aloe Vera Leaf extracts, it is rich in natural polysaccharides which soften and soothes skin, and certainly left ours in butter-soft condition. With fresh aromas of Key Lime, sweet Red Mandarin, crushed Coriander and Wild Cedarwood, this really is a treat for your skin. Available online from the Ruby Red Shop, the Reviving Body Cleanser costs £16 for 200ml and £32 for 500ml – it's a substantial bottle and will last and last so a worthy investment for such a wonderful cleanser!
