Divine Herbal - Hair Repair Treatment

As much as we love our jobs here at The Amazing Blog, there are times, as in any line of work, where stress gets the best of us. Short of pulling out our own hair, we often find that our locks suffer the effects as much as we do. For this reason, we were so pleased to discover Divine Herbal’s Hair Repair Treatment, which made our hair feel thicker, softer and lusher in no time at all.

Packed with rich, antioxidant oils like Avocado Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil and Olive Oil, this is the perfect treatment for maintaining silky smooth tresses. Just a few drops from the glass bottle are enough to soften the hair and help repair the damage done by heat styling. Guilty of this, we were keen to put the oil to the test. A pipette of the elixir smoothed onto the hair and washed out after a couple of hours gave a deep conditioning treatment that most salons would be envious of. With no artificial ingredients or silicons, it provides a wonderful boost of nutrients and moisture to your hair, leaving it looking healthy, soft, and a lot more manageable after a stressful week!

Treat your hair to a boost of natural beauty with Divine Herbal’s Hair Repair Treatment. Grab the treatment here  for £20.99.

Percy & Reed - Wonder Balm

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re big fans of multi-tasking products, since they save us precious time and valuable money. When it comes to our beauty routine, time is essential, since we need to apply our makeup and style our hair accordingly before the work day begins and we’re rushing around our flat looking for our keys. Thankfully, we have the Wonder Balm from Percy & Reed to give our hair body, volume, moisture and protection, whatever the day has in store for us.

They haven’t named this product a “wonder” balm for kicks; it contains plenty of hair-loving benefits and ingredients combined perfectly to give you the style your heart desires. A few of the many perks inside of the adorable packaging include manageability, humidity protection, shine and softness. The contemporary and girly design of the bottle and packaging are beautiful finishing touches.

The Wonder Balm works best when used on towel-dried hair before styling, working from roots to ends. You can use it alone or along with your other favourite styling products, since it is such a versatile balm. It can also be used on dry hair as needed for extra definition and smoothness.

Ready for your hair to shine its brightest and look its fullest? Grab your own bottle of Wonder Balm here for £18 and go from drab to fab instantly.  

Living Proof - Prime Style Extender

Just like applying makeup involves a variety of essential steps, our haircare routine requires proper products and tools in order to achieve the perfect look. Our team here at The Amazing Blog recently discovered a new product from Living Proof called the Prime Style Extender, and it gives our hair the moisture and smoothness it craves.

Similarly to how a makeup primer works, the style extender gives hair an ideal foundation for other hair products used in the styling process. Since it feels absolutely weightless, you can layer other hair products without even noticing, while still working hard to maintain your style as the day progresses. A Living Proof patent molecule called OFPMA works to repel dirt and oil from your locks, which in turn allows your hair to stay cleaner for longer, so the need to touch up your hair often is eliminated.

As the name suggests, using this primer will help to extend your hair style twice as long as regular styling products alone, and when we tried it at the office we were happy that it lived up to the hype. We styled our hair one day, didn’t wash it or use hot tools the next, and by the third day it was still looking flawless. We don’t know how Living Proof does it, but we aren’t complaining one bit.

To get your own Prime Style Extender, head here where you can easily purchase it online for £18.

Friday Favourites - Father's Day Gift Ideas

With Father’s Day just around the corner, here at The Amazing Blog we’ve compiled a list of our favourite beauty and grooming products to treat your old man, and get him looking and feeling great this summer.

First on our list is Belnatur’s Only Men line which has a great range of products designed to provide deep hydration, firmness and luminosity without a greasy feel. Two of our favourites are Belnatur’s Only Men After Shave Comfort (£16.99 for 150ml) and Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid (£17.99 for 75ml).

Rich in White Willow, Cucumber, Witch Hazel and Aloe Vera, the Only Men After Shave Comfort is a refreshing gel that soothes the irritations caused by shaving. It assists with the prevention of premature aging and stimulates collagen production.

Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid is light and non-greasy and recharges the skin with vitality and energy. It also improves water retention and increases skin’s flexibility.

Belnatur’s high performing products can be purchased from their official UK website and at salons nationwide.

Next on our list is one of our favourite ranges of hair products over here at The Amazing Blog. Label M is high on our list, and we think their thickening tonic (£10.95 for 150 ml) and deconstructor matt paste (£11.50 for 50 ml) make a great Father’s Day gift.

If your old man is slightly thinning on top, the thickening tonic is a unique gel to liquid formula which gives instant volume and texture to your hair. The deconstructor paste is also a fabulous product, great for those who like to style their hair, but love the rough and ready look.

The Label M range is available in a number of hairdressers including Toni & Guy. You can also buy the products from Label M’s site here.

Next we have men's body and skincare brand Scaramouche & Fandango , who have brought out two new grooming gift sets right in time for Father’s day. The Twin Pack (£13.50) comprises the daily shower essentials for men, including the brand's cleansing black quinoa and shea butter Shampoo and invigorating Brazilian papaya and vitamin E complex Body wash.

The Triple Pack (£25) helps start a skincare regime in three simple steps, and includes a Face Scrub; Shave Cream, containing guava extract to protect against razor burn; and a Hydrator.

We love that the products are fragranced with the range’s signature scents and are paraben free and 98% naturally derived. The products are suitable for all skin types and are made in the UK, and can be found at John Lewis, House of Fraser, Fortnum & Mason and Fenwick or from their website here.

Last, but certainly not least, New British luxury men’s grooming brand Thomas Clipper have the perfect shaving gift set this Father’s day, featuring the brand’s trademark built-to-last solid metal razors.

The Mark One (£85) and the Mark K (£125) shaving kits come with an exfoliating organic cotton flannel, an anti-inflammatory, organic shave balm, and razors that can be hand etched with up to 4 initials, to give your gift that personal touch.

Unfortunately we did not receive a press sample, so we can't really tell you what it is like. But we really liked the look of it! You can buy the gift sets from the Thomas Clipper website.
