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. You can purchase the Lisse Luxe Hair Turban here for £30.00
 

MODE Wonder Dust By Affinage

We at The Amazing Blog love the bed-head look, but it is all about finding the right balance between 'effortlessly tousled' and 'dragged through a bush'. Luckily, with the MODE Wonder Dust: Mega Volume Powder by Affinage you get perfectly volumised and lifted hair.

This Mega Volume Powder is perfect for zhuzh-ing the hair in between washes whilst absorbing excess oils, for a seemingly fresh do. Or if you usually suffer from lifeless and lank hair, the Wonder Dust gives incredible root lift and texture. You have been warned though, the tiniest of sprinklings adds a tonne of volume! It’s called the Mega Volume Powder for a reason.

It is also incredibly quick and easy to use. Just shake a small sprinkling into roots of dry hair and roughly massage in. You’ll be left with gloriously messy but sexy hair that any Victoria’s Secret Model would be envious of. We love the lasting power of this Wonder Dust, as the texture and volume doesn’t fall flat during the day. It will take you right through the day or evening.

Banana-Banana Conditioner by Tina Cassaday

We here at The Amazing Blog were delighted to receive Tina Cassaday’s Banana-Banana Conditioner.  We had heard of the many benefits banana had on health, skin and hair so we couldn’t be happier to experience this hair conditioner that promised amazing results. We must say that we haven’t been disappointed.

The Banana-Banana Conditioner was created by Tina Cassaday, a celebrity hair stylist that used her experience and knowledge to create a most hydrating and moisturising hair product. Tina Cassaday is a firm believer in the benefits of natural hair care products. Thus, she decided to make Banana Pulp the star ingredient of her conditioner. Banana pulp is a rich conditioning ingredient that deeply nourishes hair leaving them soft and shiny.

Formulated to provide deep hydration to the hair, the Banana-Banana conditioner repairs, protects and enhances hair appearance. It is particularly efficient for hair that has been chemically processed and that needs extra-moisture and care. The conditioner can be applied for five to forty minutes. The blend of banana pulp and liquid fruit extracts allows this conditioner to deliver the ultimate nourishment hair needs. After application hair feels softer, stronger, more manageable and has a lovely fruity smell.The product is vegan and not tested on animals.

Infuse My. Colour Wash

Keeping your hair colour vibrant and your hair healthy is somewhat of a task, as it requires both time and dedication. Fortunately, we at The Amazing Blog were lucky in discovering the Infuse My. Colour Washes, designed to refresh and add strong tones to coloured hair.

If you’re wanting to brighten and revive your coloured hair easily and quickly (and relatively cheaply!), these shampoos are worth looking into. We know the feeling well when your coloured hair loses its vibrancy, or the colour starts to turn an off shade or tone. These shampoos are simply great for prolonging the wait time in between colour appointments.  They are gentle on the hair and smooth the hair cuticle to seal in colour, leaving your hair silky and bold. What’s even better is that they are 100% vegan and biodegradable, and free from sulphates, silicones and parabens.

The shampoos come in Ruby, Gold, Copper, Platinum and Cobalt, and the idea is that each shampoo will work as a toner depending on the colour you’d like to achieve, so that you can rock your coloured hair with confidence. Copper adds warm tones to strawberry blonde, copper, auburn and brown hair. Ruby highlights brightness in red hair, or can add a fun pink tone to bleached blonde hair. Platinum neutralises brassy and canary yellow tones in pale blonde and white hair, maintaining a cool grey undertone. Gold adds sunshine back into honey blonde hair and Cobalt maintains cool dark blonde and brown hair.

Luckily for you, these shampoos are very easy to use; just sud up your hair and and wash out for an immediate result. Purchase the Infuse My. Colour shampoos from Boots in store or online for £9.30 - usually the product is £13.95 but Boots is offering 1/3 off currently.
