Popbands

We can all relate to the moment where you become so tired of your hair falling in front of your face, you finally decide to just throw it up into a ponytail. Depending on your hair type, some bands unfortunately do not get the job done right. We at The Amazing Blog have had this happen plenty of times, but thanks to Popbands, all of our pony problems are over.

Popbands are soft, stretchy and they don’t leave dent marks in your hair. Now you don’t have to be embarrassed about letting your hair down after a couple of hours in a ponytail.

Popbands do what they are supposed to do. As someone with long, thick hair, I have a hard time finding a band that can keep my hair tight in a ponytail for an entire day. I hate having to fix my hair every couple of hours. With Popbands, I never have that issue. They hold my hair perfectly in place for the entire day. Another benefit? I never have to deal with those thin black hair bands that always rip my hair out when I let it down. My hair never gets caught in my Popband.

They also come in bright, fun colours and are cute enough to wear on your wrist as an extra bracelet. The more uses you can get out of a simple product, the better!

You can purchase individual hair bands here, or if one band isn't enough, you can buy multi packs here. It’s time to smarten up your locks.

 

 

John Masters Organics - Rose & Apricot Hair Milk

At The Amazing Blog, we find it utterly refreshing when we come across any hair product that is truly unique from your average hair product. Needles to say, we have fallen in love with John Master Organics Rose & Apricot Hair Milk. The product is a light, leave-in hair milk that nourishes and protects the hair, leaving it feeling fresh and smelling delicious.

Not only does this product help repair sun damaged hair, but it also doubles up as a light-hold styling product with the ability to moisturise, de-frizz, and add shine.

After you use it and are all set to dry your hair, you can begin to feel the wonders it has worked on your luscious locks right away.

The key ingredients in this product is rose flower oil, which softens and nourishes hair whilst the apricot oil treats dryness. Oil products are fabulous for dry hair, as they help replace natural oils that are missing, resulting in stronger strands.

Argania - Hair & Skin Products

Though the members of The Amazing Blog staff each have a mutual love for all things beauty, we also embrace the unique and wide array of skin and hair types we have in the office. As soon as Argania sent us their entire hair and skin collection, we were enthusiastic to experiment with each and every product.

The samples we received included the Desert Defence Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, the Cashmere Hair Leave-in Conditioner Spray, the Perfect Texture Salt Spray and the Conditioning Body Oil. Such a bounty for our sun drenched tresses and skin!

We were pleased to find out that each product does in fact treat all kinds of different types of hair and skin. The Desert Defence Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner worked wonders on our co-worker with afro-caribbean hair, for it both restored her natural curl pattern and softened her hair. The Perfect Texture Salt Spray was able to give a lot of body to staff members with thinner locks, along with making it smell sweet and delicious. Finally, we all loved the Conditioning Body Oil for its wonderful vanilla scent and ability to be absorbed so quickly. Overall, the entire collection of Argania products was appreciated in our office, because they worked so well across a large spectrum of hair and skin.

Alassala - Moroccan Rhassoul Clay

Being the curious beauty enthusiasts that we are, we at The Amazing Blog love experimenting with unique beauty products and techniques. Having already fallen for organic UK brand, Alassala in the past, we were eager to try their intriguing new product: Moroccan Rhassoul Clay. Upholding Alassala’s 100% natural ethos, this ethically produced powder may just be the answer to all of our beauty needs.

Rhassoul Clay has been a multi-tasking beauty tool for centuries. Used to treat a multitude of skin and hair dilemmas, we were impressed to discover that the clay mix can be applied as a natural all-in-one detoxifier, cleanser and softener. With this vast collection of uses, it’s a sure-fire way to declutter your bathroom cabinet. All we needed to do was add few drops of Alassala Moroccan Organic Argan Oil and mix with water, and we were left with a silky smooth clay paste, reminiscent of a luxury spa treatment.  The natural oils allow the soft scrub to treat your skin and hair without any irritation, a quality that we can’t get enough of. Providing care for a variety of skin types, the clay gently absorbs impurities and excess oils from skin and hair, leaving us with baby soft skin, and lusciously smooth locks. Enriched with calcium and potassium, among other beauty boosting minerals exclusively sourced from the Atlas mountains, the product improves skin clarity, elasticity and texture as well as reducing dryness, flakiness and blemishes. The benefits of the clay treatment seem to be endless.

Used by the Royal Family of Morocco, we can certainly see how this natural Moroccan treatment is fit for a queen. You can purchase the Moroccan Rhassoul Clay here for £12.99, and you can shop the rest of the Alassala beauty collection here.
