Haircare products by Routes Hair Extensions

Those who have hair extensions will know that their hair goes through an incredible amount of wear and tear, from hot straighteners, curling irons, and harsh hairspray. Let's not forget about sweat, spilt drinks, and pulled hair. While out on the town, I think it's fair to say that we’ve all been in the way of a spilt drink at least once!

We at The Amazing Blog are happy to report that we’ve found reliable premium hair products by Routes Hair Extensions, to protect and clean our natural hair and extensions. As one of the leading brands in the UK and USA, Routes Hair Extensions have extensive knowledge of the top professional human hair from around the globe. The hair has been sourced ethically, ensuring the hair has been fairly paid for, measured by length, weight and quality. Their products are guaranteed to be vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. For Routes Hair Extensions, it is essential that there is no illegal and unfair practice and that synthetics are not used. All of their extensions are 100% human Remy hair (cuticle correct). They source luxurious Indian Remy hair and use bonds from Italian keratin, to ensure they last.

Routes Hair Extensions very kindly sent us their collection of haircare products to try. Natural hair has a direct source of nutrients and moisture, whereas hair extensions don’t. Therefore, it's crucial to use the correct products to protect the extensions from everyday damage. Their Shampoo and Conditioner were easy to use, and both have a glorious delicate rose/floral fragrance. We would highly recommend these to everyone (hair extensions or not), as with regular use we certainly noticed their cuticle smoothing properties.  The Protein Therapy is a daily hair treatment which replenishes moisture and shine. There is a significant amount of B5, which moisturises and protects the hair surface, alongside wheat germ (vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, essential fatty acids, thiamine) and wheat proteins which repair the hair and prevent static. Together, all these ingredients create a protective spray which is suitable for all hair types. Our favourite product has to be the Extension Boost. This a wonderful treat for both extension and natural hair, particularly if you have fine hair that tangles easily. Routes recommend this non-greasy formula, to be used bi-weekly; perfect to help you achieve an easy comb through, with a soft and sleek texture and an added bonus of colour enhancement. Et voila! Purchase Routes Hair Extensions' products here: Shampoo 250ml can be purchased for £12.00; Conditioner 250ml for £12.00; Protein Therapy 250ml  for £12.00; Extension Boost 100ml tub for £12.00. 

Collagen Masks- Beauty Pro

With the regular cold and gloomy weather, it's tough trying to persuade yourself to go out, and it's the same here at The Amazing Blog. We love spending nights in, and what's better than relaxing with a face mask? That's where Beauty Pro’s Collagen Face Masks come in.

Beauty Pro have developed a wonderful line of products to help your skin recover and recuperate this Winter. We tried the Rejuvenating and Brightening Collagen Masks, and were impressed with their effectiveness at livening up our complexions. Both are suitable for all skin types and have an anti-ageing formula. The Rejuvenating Mask has green tea extract and works to re-balance oily T-zones, hydrate dry areas and diminish fine lines as well as wrinkles. The Brightening Mask is the same in design, however the Vitamin C within the formula works to brighten the complexion and improve the elasticity of the skin.

The lightweight masks are really easy to use and the soft sheets are slightly scented but not overpowering, allowing you to relax for 15 minutes before taking them off. We loved how soft and smooth the masks left our skin and we particularly noticed a renewed vitality with the Brightening Mask.

Texturising Cream, Beard Balm - Vines Vintage

We have previously featured Vines Vintage in our blog, a brand that specialises in men's grooming. They’re really good at what they do and that's why we were excited to have another taste of their products. This time at The Amazing Blog we received and tried two new products from them: the Texturising Cream and the Beard Balm. 

The Texturising Cream is a light styling cream that you can use to create an effortless, 'I woke up like this' look. Just mix it with a tiny amount of water for it to also give your hair the volume that it needs.  This versatile product has a flexible, long lasting hold and will keep you looking sharp throughout the entire day.  The Beard Balm is perfect for that natural yet defined finishing touch your beard needs. It is enriched with Shea butter and avocado oil which will help improve the hair's texture keeping it softer. These ingredients also add moisturising properties to the balm, giving some extra hydration to both hair and skin.

Grab the Texturising Cream here for £4.50 and keep your beard looking smooth and sharp with the Beard Balm for £5.50 here. 

Chameleon Concealer – Kalme

Still can’t find the perfect match? Here, at The Amazing Blog, we know how difficult it is to find the perfect foundation to match your skin. It is often either too dark, too orange, or too light and can be a frustrating experience. Thankfully, we have discovered the Chameleon Concealer from Kalme..

Thanks to its advanced tone-matching technology, the Chameleon concealer offers the perfect match to your skin tone. All you need to do is apply it to clean skin and softly blend it in with your finger until the colour changes to match your skin tone. As well as offering the perfect match, this concealer corrects redness and repairs and strengthens your skin. This is as it contains anti-redness actives, green beads, and prebiotic ingredients. This concealer also protects from UV rays (SPF 20), so what is there not to like about this product?
