Yves Rocher Hair Repairing Oil

Many, or most, of us do daily damage to our locks. The effect is unfortunately long term, as we know our hair only grows from the root,  the ends have no way of healing themselves. This is why we must do what we can to protect our hair, and use formulas that will give our hair a break and a nourishing treat. Hair oils have been very popular in the beauty industry over the past few years as we have been damaging our hair more than ever. Often, here at The Amazing Blog, we are so busy that we don't have time to get a treatment done in a salon, and we like to have something at home that can help revive our tired hair.We stumbled upon, Yves Rocher, a well known French brand, and their Nourishing Hair Repair Oil, we then quickly discovered that everyone in the office wanted to try it.

Admittedly, I desperately needed hair repair oil for my damaged strands. Heat styling and over use of products has not done my hair any favours, so this oil was a perfect trial product for me and my poor hair. I waited until my hair needed a good shampoo, and I massaged the oil from the middle to the end of my hair. You won't want to put the oil directly on the roots of the hair, as these produce oil by themselves anyway. I left the oil on for approximately ten minutes, as it says on the bottle, and then proceeded to shampoo and condition my hair. It really smells great, very natural, and I do feel like it has helped to soften and coat my split ends. I would definitely say this is something I will add to my hair routine once a month, although if your hair is very dry, you may want to use it more often.

If you are looking for a quick fix at home remedy for damaged and lifeless hair, it's completely worth trying the Yves Rocher Hair Repair Oil. It will become a bathroom staple, as you see how lively and revived it makes your hair feel and look. For more information and to purchase the product, visit the Yves Rocher UK website, it’s currently priced at £7.63.

Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment

I've never been too fussy about my haircare routine, I would use any shampoo and conditioner that did the job and left my hair shiny. However, my hair has grown quite a lot in the past few months and the ends have been feeling (and looking...) very dry - my hair's overall appearance was very dull and boring. I've tried intensive repair masks which have left my hair glossy and nourished just after washing it and feeling even drier and heavy the next day. At The Amazing Blog we came across the skin and hair brand Mashooq and decided to give their Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment a try - I've come to the conclusion that you don't know what a deeply nourished and silky hair is until you apply a quality hair oil to it. Mashooq products are the result of an exquisite blend of natural oils including coconut, olive, palm, whet germ, almond and sunflower which are full of vitamins and minerals to nourish and protect the hair and skin. Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment can be used on two different ways: it can be used as a soak for 10 to 20 minutes before shampooing to strengthen the hair and adding a gorgeous shine - just wrap the oiled hair in a hot towel or cover it with a shower cap while soaking in the bath. You can also apply the Penetrating Oil Treatment before harsh treatments such as bleaching, colouring, perming or relaxing to protect the hair from damage. My favourite my way to use this oil is applying it before going to bed, leaving it in the whole night and shampooing as you would the next morning.

We also had the chance to try their Moisturising Hair Serum, that applied to dry hair gets rid of the frizziness and adds nice sheen. The packaging of the Mashooq products is convenieny, ideal for travelling and easy to store too.

You can purchase Mashooq Penetrating Oil Treatment in different sizes (100 ml, 250 ml and 500ml) for £7.99, £13.99 and £21.00 from their website and from Amazon.
