I think Reviews are always pretty important and can give people a little insight on what to expect from an item as different items will suit different people. There are millions of products out there, many good and many bad but here is some reviews on the products I use to help maintain healthy hair so it grows. Most of the below items I have been using for a while and are some of my favourites, so here I share with you the reviews of the products I use. Enjoy!

Equipment

No More Knots Butterfly Detangler Brush

Review
I purchased this item a few years ago now. At the time when I purchased this item I thought it may of been a little over prices. However, after using this item I was surprised about how much it could do. This brush can be used on both wet and dry hair. This was actually made for kids but it works just as good on adults hair too. It is a beautiful butterfly design with bright colours making it a eye catching product. The brush acts as a brush as well as a little lid to the purple compartment where you could store hair bands, clips and things. Most brushes pull on your hair if it is knotty but this doesn’t pull at all so the process is pretty much painless. The bristles are pretty flexible that effectively comb through the hair to detangle and smooth the hairs cuticle in an instant, leaving your hair soft, silky and knot free.

Paddle Brush

Review
I love a good paddle brush. A good make to use is Denman which is equipment used by Hairdressers. However, most paddle brushes will more or less do the same thing. Check that the paddle brush is sturdy before purchasing. Cheap brushes can work just as well as expensive ones if they are made properly. Paddle brushes are normally quite big so it can cover quite a bit of hair in just one brush. The far apart bristles help to detangle the hair. I would only use a paddle brush on dry to damp hair.

Nit Comb (Not used for nits, used for dandruff)

1741-ft_644-3-500
Review
As someone who hasn’t had nits since a child I don’t use this nit comb as a nit comb but for removing dandruff (dry skin) from the scalp and hair. Hair should always be knot free before using this item as pulling could cause stress on the hair. It picks up a lot of loose dandruff and I think it works pretty well. However, the comb doesn’t remove all of the dandruff. Metal teeth is much ore sturdy and longer lasting then plastic teeth.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo

John_Frieda_Brilliant_Brunette_Multi_Tone_Revealing_Enhancing_Shampoo_for_all_Brunettes_250ml_1370328954
Review
This Shampoo is great. I have black hair and this still intensified and enhanced the colour and put natural shine in the hair. I think people with actual brunette hair may see more changes and effects though. It smells quite nice too and has a lovely texture and feel. It seems to add moisture to the hair making it feel silky smooth and healthy.

Review
This is a very good conditioner which really does make the hair soft and sleeky. This conditioner has a sweet almond oil in it and you can spell it, its lovely soft scent. It enhances the shine and adds moisture and softness to each hair strand. It is a really good conditioner.

CARiNO Hair Refine Shampoo (Black)

Review
I have the black bottle. This is a cheap product but it is actually a very nice product and defiantly doesn’t feel cheap. It has a lovely apple kind of smell to it so it smells fruity and refreshing. It is a product that I would purchase again as it also nourishes the hair and adds enhanced shine to it, leaving it feeling smooth and smelling fresh.

Macadamia Oil Extract Hair Mask

Review
I purchased this hoping that it would be an intense conditioning treatment that actually conditions and does what it says it would do. In general I do like oil extract hair products as I think it makes an amazing conditioner using natural oils. The consistency of the product is quite thick and creamy and really does act like a hair mask.

Avon Advance Techniques Heat Defense Spray

Review
I have been using this product for a while now and it’s recent changed from pink packaging to black. I quite like the new design. This is a thin product that is easily sprayed onto the hair. It smells nice and it does work and seem to protect your hair from heat. It seems to condition the hair and add a little shine.  A very good product, a must have! Use on damp hair.

Review
I’ve been getting this product for years now. The packaging changed a year or 2 ago and I do love the new bottle. The top comes up like a sports drinking bottle so it is pretty cool and it doesn’t leak. The product is thick and contains oil so can sometimes cause the hair to become greasy quickly, so I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who has overly greasy hair. I personally love it and I like that it ads oil and moisture. It also smells beautiful. Use on damp hair, combing through making sure its evenly distributed through the hair, try not to add any to the root, just concentrate on mids and ends.
