Boss Friction Hair Tonic - Fab Hair

At the Amazing Blog, we appreciate a man who takes cares of himself and think that all boys should incorporate a regular grooming regime. We just received a new product from Fab Hair which we swiftly gave to our top boy Jose to test out for us.

The product that we received was the Boss Friction Hair Tonic which is specifically designed to stimulate any areas of thinning or receding hair. Jose told us that he applied it to both his hair and scalp and then combed it gently through. He then slowly massaged the tonic into his scalp, leaving it for a few minutes to absorb.  What he particularly liked was the fragrance (subtly warm and spicy) and the feel (a slightly tingly sensation). Jose commented that It left his hair smooth and easier to manage.

Fab Hair specialises in premium professional haircare products for men, with a collection of six hair tonics to choose from, each having its own refreshing fragrance. The theory is that by regularly using a hair tonic in your grooming regime, you'll see an improvement in your hair as the tonic absorbs into your roots to stimulate hair growth giving you healthier hair and scalp.  

 Keep your hair in good condition and grab this hair tonic here for £4.99 for the 100ml.

Healthy Food - Friday Favourites

After the Christmas season many of us resolve to get back to our healthiest in the New Year. It’s now easier than ever to get on the health bandwagon and we at The Amazing Blog have been gathering our favourite healthy foods to share with you.

Glenilen handmade yoghurts really caught our attention with their large collection of natural low-fat yoghurts. The family-run farm has been running for generations in County Cork. What started as a hobby using their cows’ milk has now grown into a fully-fledged business, using fresh simple ingredients.

The yoghurts come in lots of delicious flavours, including rhubarb and strawberry, natural seeds, and blueberry. We loved the creamy textures and all the yoghurts had a lovely thick layer of fruit.

Macadamia & Myrrh Luxe Body Oil - Siskyn

During the summer, the mix of sunbathing, social events and mini-skirts means our skin tends to have an enviable natural glow, and the rest of the year it can easily become dull and dry. Here at The Amazing Blog we tend to turn to natural based remedies to seek help and luckily we’ve found Siskyn’s body oils.

Made up of an impressive 18 natural oils,  the formula works quickly to provide deep moisturisation. Macadamia and Myrrh Luxe Body oil; the formulas leading oils work alongside Boabab to tone the skin and help maintain its elasticity. The glass bottle comes with two different spray tips to apply, once on the skin rub the oil evenly, and allow it to soak in.
