Hairspray can be so expensive.....

Not if you look past the brands and try some supermarket 'own brand' value products! :)

I can honestly say I'll probably never buy a branded hairspray again.... unless there's a really good sale on it! I've tried supermarket Hairsprays in the past like Asda etc, and they've been really good. The one I'm using at the moment however is better than all the others. It's Tesco's own value hairspray 'no fancy formula, still great hold and control'. I agree with this. With some cheap hairspray's they can be really crap, and feel like nothing is coming out of the can, or they can feel too wet & make your hair look greasy. This is a happy medium, it holds pretty much all day which is great news!





I currently have a fringe, sometimes I wear it as a full fringe and sometimes I sweep it to the side. However I have it, this hairspray is great at holding the fringe in place. There's nothing more annoying than a fringe that's blowing all over the show!

The best news of all is that it's only 37p! And in my flat, we go through hairspray quickly, especially if we're using each other's whilst getting ready for nights out (lots of hairspray required!) so it's good to have a few cans of this in case we run out!

It really is cheap and cheerful! I've used tresemme and Garnier hair sprays before now, and I find them far too wet and hard to manage. This one is great though, you can spray it however much you like and your hair isn't going to look like a greasy mess. Definitely worth a try & you're going to save £££!

Hope this has been useful and will help you save some pennies :)

John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo (review)

John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo review 

Well to start, I'll tell you that I have fine wavy blonde hair naturally (dark blonde) and I've tried a few things to try and get a fresh brighter blonde, including John Frieda Sheer Blonde. Sheer blonde in my opinion, is a great shampoo, leaves your hair feeling amazing! But it doesn't do what I buy it for, to brighten up my blonde hair :( I decided to try their 'Go Blonder' range, as I really want to brighten up my hair, without the use of hair dye! This is the product description: 

New Sheer Blonde® go blonder shampoo and conditioner, with citrus, chamomile and no harsh chemicals, gradually lightens hair to achieve a magical sun-kissed sparkle all year round

Trying 'go blonder' for the first time


The John Frieda Go Blonder range retails for around £5 each, but there are usually deals in Boots, Superdrug, Sainsburys etc where you can get two (shampoo & conditioner) for £7 which is pretty good if you like the product! 


Being a student, I can't really be splashing out £7 on shampoo.... so that's why I'm glad they have a travel size so I could give it a go! I bought the travel size Shampoo for around £1.95, still pricey in my opinion! (didn't bother with the conditioner, but perhaps the overall outcome would have been better using both together...) and I have to say, I don't like this product.....


My experience with 'Go Blonder' shampoo


I have found that this shampoo, unlike the Sheer Blonde, leaves my hair feeling very weighed down, and it almost feels like the product just won't wash out. Also, I find that it makes my dry scalp aggravated, and the flakes are more prominent and visible. I would have liked to use this shampoo for  a while, so that I could see noticeable results (lighter, brighter hair!) but the disadvantages I've just mentioned were just too unbearable for me, so I've discontinued using it! 


Advantages: none that I can mention
Disadvantages: weighs hair down, aggravates scalp, price, no noticeable results


Alternatives?
I have found that John Frieda 'Sheer Blonde' is by far a superior product! It's pricey like 'Go Blonder' but the overall result is soft manageable blonder hair :)

Another product that I have used, is Superdrug Colour effects wash in wash out colour (even though I don't really like to dye my hair) it's really cheap and gives your hair some colour (more colour each time you use it)


Please feel free to comment with your experiences with this product, perhaps it worked for you! :)
