Men's Styling Products by Neal and Wolf

The Amazing Blog is all about looking and feeling as good as you can and want to, and for us, the be all and end all of our beauty confidence comes from good hair. Hair lacking volume leaves us feeling flat, fly-away and unruly frizz makes us feel scattered, but hair that looks bold and beautiful leaves us feeling on top of the world. To achieve this confidence, we don’t leave the house without some Neal and Wolf Styling products in our locks. Today we want to tell you about the Style Shaping Cream and the Create Mattifying Paste products that they produce.

The Style Shaping Cream is specifically designed to give hair the definition it deserves. It’s a flexible cream that will leave your style looking natural, and while your look won’t blow away, it won’t act like a windbreaker either. Created by professional experts, the conditioning base keeps moisture locked in and adds an enviable shine.  If shiny hair isn’t your go-to look, then try their Create Mattifying Paste which gives a flexible and medium hold with a matte appearance. This is ideal for people looking for more texture and maybe a messier more bed head style. Create contains Kaolin, Shea Butter and Beeswax to create a workable paste, so don’t worry about darkening your hair if you are naturally lighter.

You can buy the Style Shaping Cream here for £12.95 and the Create Mattifying Paste here for £12.95

Lisse Luxe Hair Turban by Aquis

Welcome back! We wish all our readers a Very Happy 2018 :0) Today we thought we'd start the year off with one of our favourite #amazingfinds for your hair.

Have you ever wondered if there is a more straightforward way to dry hair and keep frizz down to a minimum? We at The Amazing Blog certainly have, and it was through researching this question that we came across Aquis, who believe that your hair needs tender loving care 'just like your hands and your heart.' As such they have created some remarkable hair turbans and towels, guaranteed to dry hair fast and keep frizz down to a minimum. Never ones to pass up the opportunity to make our hair routine easier, we decided to try the Lisse Luxe Hair Turban.

The Lisse Luxe Turban is ideal for people with curly and fine hair that needs to be treated a bit more gently than others. If this isn’t your hair type then don’t worry, Aquis have thought of everything and have a fantastic range of other products designed to treat all different types of hair. However, this particular turban/towel is a must for anyone with curly, wavy or delicate hair, as these hair types are more prone to damage, frizz and breakage.  Aquis is new product and uses a new generation Aquitex material which gives you fast water absorbency. It is an innovative fabric made from weaving together ultra-fine fibres to create a lightweight material with strong wicking abilities. 

The product is so easy to use, after washing hair gently squeeze out excess water from hair, then flip your hair forward, wrap the hair up and tuck the end of the towel at the nape of the neck. The turbans design means that it cradles your hair, so you don’t have to worry about squashing hair in, or bits poking out. 

As one of us at TheAmazingBlog has long and particularly fine curly hair;  they happily trialled this product and whole-heartedly gave it the thumbs up. So If you are worried about having damaged hair or just looking for a change, then we highly recommend the Aquis Hair Towels.
