I don’t know about anyone else but I always seem to get attacked in my sleep my hair elves. I go to bed with nice straight hair and wake up looking like I’ve slept with my finger in an electric socket. This is a pain in the neck, especially as I have to spend 20 minutes battling with it in the mornings before work instead of getting an extra few minutes kip. None of this is helped by having a double crown resulting in me earning the nickname ‘Mr Majika’ from my boyfriend.
So, when I heard of a wonder product coming on the market that promised to keep my hair straight for three days, I skipped off to the shops to bulk buy the stuff. L’Oreal launched three versions of their heat protect styling spray – straight, volume and waves. With promises to keep hair straight for three days, it seems like my ideal product.
I washed, conditioned and dried my hair as usual and sprayed the product on my towel dried hair. I followed instructions by spraying it from 15cm away and was presently surprised by the beautiful spray. My hair already felt silky soft as I began to blow dry my hair as usual. Once dried, I still ran my straighteners through my tresses as usual but I knew the real test would be the following morning.
Wakening up expecting to be greeted by the usual handy work of the hair elves I was shocked that my hair was still silky soft, smooth and to a great extent straight! Yes I still looked slightly like Mr Majika but I don’t think anything will ever cure that curse. No straighteners were needed. The next day I woke up early to wash my hair anyway but I could have got away with no straighteners that day either. The only downside I would say is it can leave your hair quite flat. I suppose that is only logic as it is for straightening but I’ve learnt to combat that by keeping it away from my roots and using a root boosting product there.
A huge hit in my eyes and also good for my hair as less damage is caused from using my trusty GHD’s every day. Priced at £5.99 it is very reasonable and lasts ages. Great for during the week when you want to give your hair a rest from the heat. Highly recommended!
