Rose Oil Shampoo and Conditioner - Pimps and Pinups

A product that smells dreamy and leaves you hair looking dreamy too? We at The Amazing Blog have found a new shampoo and conditioner combination, which you’ll want to wash your hair with, in the form of Pimps & Pinups Rose Oil range.

These bottles are bold in black, lime green and bright pink, sure to stand out on the bath-top making them a great idea for a last minute present. They are born from the hair experts from Pimps & Pinups salon based in London and New York. The Rose Oil Shampoo is a gel-like substance, thick enough not to make your hair oily after and gives a gentle cleanse ideal for all hair types. The main ingredient for both products is the rose oil. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties help promote a healthy scalp, whilst hydrating the hair and being packed with anti-oxidants.  

It works to strengthen hair at the root, protecting against frizz and adds shine. The Rose Oil Conditioner is a thicker version of the shampoo with the signature rose scent. The difference is that the conditioner also includes Shea butter and hydrolysed silk meaning your hair is silky smooth and weightless once dried.

Shake up your hair routine with Pimps and Pinups products available here from £11.99 for the Rose Oil Conditioner or you can get them in Pimps and Pinups London Salon.

Cacay Oil - Cacay Naturals

At the The Amazing Blog we are always searching for new products that will leave our bodies healthy and nourished. We also love multipurpose products, that’s why we were pleased when Cacay Natural sent us their Cacay Oil.

Straight from the Amazon, Cacay oil is harvested from the highly nutritious nut from the Cacay fruit in Columbia. The edible, protein rich fruit has been used by indigenous Amazonian people for centuries. It is 100% organic and 100% natural, suitable for vegans plus it is cruelty free. It's rapidly being held as the new Argan oil as it contains 50% more vitamin E and twice the amount of lineolic acid than Argan oil, as well as being three times richer in vitamin C than rose hip oil. 

We love how many different ways you can use this little miracle bottle. The multipurpose, unisex oil can be used as an anti-aging remedy, as a fighting acne cream, as a treatment for damaged cuticles and hair, you can also apply it to scratches or burns to aid in the healing process as well as using it to soothe skin after shaving. Unlike other oils that can leave your skin greasy, using a small amount of this product will leave you with no oil residue as it sinks in instantly. When used on skin, the oil will leave skin radiant and its emollient properties means you will notice the benefits from the long-lasting hydration. The skin will also be protected from irritation and the oil will improve elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles.

Cacay Naturals oil is the purest anti-aging skincare product. You can purchase this ultimate all-rounder you can purchase here for £32.75.

Luminous colour shampoo and conditioner – Maria Nila

Here at The Amazing Blog we love natural products that protect coloured hair. So when we received Maria Nila's Luminous Colour Shampoo and Conditioner, we knew we would be interested in what they had to offer.

After having your hair coloured, there is nothing worse than shampoos and conditioners that destroy your new colour. Before we talk about the great formulas behind the products, we have to mention the cute, girly packaging in a matte pink shade which we love. In addition to looking beautiful they are useful too. Both the Luminous Colour Shampoo and Conditioner help to rebuild and strengthen your hair structure leaving strands with lustrous shine, and protects coloured hair thanks the colour guard complex and pomegranate extract. The conditioner detangles hair whilst the shampoo gives it a glossy finish. What’s more, it’s made with 100% vegan ingredients without sulphates and parabens. For enhanced protection, it is recommended that you use both products from the range to reduce the loss of colour associated with washing. 

Treat your coloured hair with the Luminous Colour Shampoo for £12.98 here and the Luminous Colour Conditioner for £13.99  here.

Multi-purpose hair products - Doop

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how challenging it is to keep your hair in good form during a long day of intense work, especially when it comes to having difficult hair. Which is why we were excited to have the chance to try Doop’s products a hair care brand with a wide range of Multi-purpose hairstyling products.

Originally from Holland, this hair brand takes its edgy, cool inspiration from the street where they believe the best ideas come from. The products have been specifically designed and made by hair specialists with high quality ingredients to leave a natural look to your hair whilst helping you to style. The range is made up of 13 different serums suitable for all types of hair; we tried 3 products from the range, using Doop’s advice to get the perfect look. Firstly for long hair is The Saviour, this can be used to get a sleek or curly look. It’s best to apply when hair is still damp, and you can use a lot or little of the product as it leaves a natural shiny effect, leaving hair looking healthy rather than greasy. Next is The Catcher, this will make you feel proud of your curls, it’s great to use before blow drying whilst hair is still damp. It has medium to high hold and can be used on all lengths of hair. When used all over, this paste will activate the curls and give and hold them in place all day whilst adding shine for strong hair. Lastly we tried The Outsider, specifically made for short hair, this paste gives a super dry look. Simply rub a small amount into your palms and work through hair to create any style desired. We love their colourful tins and quirky names which reflect the character and variety of hairstyles that they cater for.
