Hair Heroes Splat Washables - Purple Swag

I've always wanted this bright vibrant purple hair, but never ever got a chance to really try it out, because I don't like commitment to vibrant colours for many reasons. I came across a website called Hair Heroes, and believe me, they are some real heroes! I immediately ordered a product called Splat Washables and some purple hair extensions! 

 

Three days later... My order was at my door and I was beyond excited. Once I ripped open the packaging (couldn't hold my excitement any longer) I found all my products neatly packaged as well as a super sweet note written from the Hair Heroes team, this was an extra special moment for me, because it shows that Hair Heroes really value their customers!

 

 So my review today will be on Splat Washables in Purple Swag. 

 

 

What Hair Heroes say about Splat Washables: "Splat Washables is a temporary hair color that is easy to apply and comes in 4 amazingly bright colors! Our unique formula is not a gel, it is a temporary hair color. Built-in conditioners prevent the color from drying rock-hard in your hair, so it's easy to comb through and re-style. Applicator brush is included! Easily Washes Out With Shampoo!" 

In the Splat Washables Kit: 

• Tube of Splat Washables 
• Applicator Brush 
• Instructions on the box 

The directions from Hair Heroes: 

• Place an old towel over shoulders when applying color.
• Make sure your hair is dry.
• DO NOT apply hair spray before application.
• Brush Application: Squeeze color directly on the applicator brush or squeeze color onto the palm of your hand, dip the applicator brush into color. Take the selected strands of hair you want to color and brush the color down the hair.
• Direct Application: Squeeze a generous amount of color onto the palm of your hand and run through hair.
• The color will be slightly wet when first applied. It will dry on its own after a few minutes. Dry with blow-dryer on low heat.
• Finish with hair spray to prevent rub off.
• Rinse the color off the applicator brush with water

So the process is quite simple, you squeeze some of the temporary colour on the brush, and simply brush it into your hair and wait to try (or you can dry it with a hair dryer). The brush makes it easy if you're looking for some simple streaks or highlights on your hair. I found the Purple Swag to be so vibrant that I could actually see it on my medium brown hair, so if you get disappointed by other temporary hair colours, I promise this one won't disappoint! If your hair is black, I doubt you going to get a lot of colour pay out, I am not sure if you would get any. I'm planning to go with an ombré look soon, so I know my Splat Washables is going to come in handy then! 

My final thoughts on the Splat Washables: I really like the squeeze tube, because it allows you to get every single bit of the product out. The product has a clean scent and the process seems fairly easy, so funky fabulous hair is just minutes away! I especially like how my hair doesn't get all hard after application like I have gel in it, plus I find the squeeze tube to be compact, so it easy for traveling and taking out for touch ups. I'd say on my hair colour (a medium brown) the product washes out in the first wash so you won't have a problem, but with much lighter hair, I'd say two washes may be needed. 

The Splat Washables are available in the following colours: 

• Hot 4 Pink
• Purple Swag 
• Electric Blue
• Totally Reds 

 

Each kit retails at R114, which I think is fairly reasonable for how long the tube lasts, so if you're not up for commitment colour , I'd recommend you give this one a try!

Perfect Touch Hot Polish

Sleek, sexy, shiny, shimmering straight hair, what more could a girl ask for? Thanks to Perfect Touch's amazing Hot Polish, it's everything a girl needs for perfect hair, in a bottle. I've been using this hot polish for over two years now, and it's my perfect heat protective straightening créme. I hardly use heat protective créme, however I'm hooked on this amazing hot polish because it contains a special blend of silicones which help aid detangling, protects hair from heat damage, helps retain hair moisture and gives hair a smooth, shiny finish.

This hot polish is meant to prevent us girls from having fried ends and dry or brittle hair, and helps us protect or locks! However besides helping me prevent damage, I've noticed that this créme adds an extra shine to my hair, plus when I am straightening my hair, it feels and looks much more straight, smooth and glossy. This créme is non sticky, and all you need is a pea sized about of this hot polish for medium length hair. The scent of the hot polish smells fresh and sweet and makes hair feel and smell amazing.

I actually got hooked to this product because I saw the hot pink squeeze tube in a store, a long time ago. The squeeze tube is hot pink, with text and design in shimmering and reflecting sliver and black, I think it's quite eye catching and the design is really good. One tube of this hot polish can last over a year because you don't really need much.

I would recommend you give this product a try, I'm not really sure about the retail price, but I'm sure it's around R50 for a 150 ml bottle, which I find affordable because its long lasting, I also found it to be less oily on hair than most heat protective treatments. I think this should be your ultimate heat protective créme, and you won't go back to any other once you've tried this one. 

Michel Mercier Detangling Brush for Fine Hair

Nobody likes tangles in their hair, especially when you have fine hair which is prone to tangles. My hair always has tangles in it, I needed a quick solution which was going to make everything easier and hassle free in the morning rush. Which is why this sleek brush caught my eye. I have owned one of these brushes before, however it wasn't actually for my hair texture, so it was completely useless to me, recently while shopping at Dis-Chem I came across the brush in a hot pink and black colour, I grabbed the last brush off the shelf.

The brush normally retails for R159, however the price has been reduced to R98,95. When I got home I begun to detangle! There is a slight pull here and there if the tangle is bad, other than that, it's pain free, but if you have hair loss, I would warn you... Your hair does end up on the brush! So it doesn't actually stop the hair from being pulled out, sadly.

This brush as 428 unique bristles which are all different heights to help detangle hair more efficiently. Plus this brush has a nice sturdy handle which is joined to the entire plastic brush, so no more breaking handles from the brush!
The only warning I could give you is that this brush shouldn't be used under heat, because when I checked the Michel Mercier Facebook Page, a lady had stated that her bristles melted because of the heat from her hair dryer!

I would really recommend you give this brush a try, especially if you have hair which tangles easily, plus you'll get so used to the brush, you won't want to try any other brush again, plus the brushes are super cute and colour coordinated for hair types.

 

The brush is available in the following:

• Blue- Thick Hair
• Green- Normal Hair
• Pink- Fine Hair

VO5 smoothly does it: Curl Defining Mousse

So my boyfriend is obsessed with curly hair, and here I have pin straight hair and a curling wand which he bought for me so I could get perfect curls for him, as much as I tried, my hair used to be perfectly curled, but very frizzy. Until I purchased the VO5 Smoothly Does It: Curl Defining Mousse.

This Mousse is actually for people who have naturally curly or permed hair, however, I still purchased it because it would give me a frizz free finish, enhance my curls and can be used for the smoothest straightened hair. I was quite excited to give it a try, and so this weekend I went curl crazy.

I applied the mousse to my damp towel dried hair and blow dried my hair as normal, once my hair was dry I could feel a lovely smooth feeling to my hair, excited, I grabbed my Cloud Nine Curling Wand and begun my magic. After half an hour of curling, I was complete, my hair looked sleek and reflected the light in every way possible, plus there was no frizz. I noticed my curls lasted longer as well, and my hair smelt great thanks to this awesome mousse. I gave it a try this morning on my straight hair and noticed it does a good job keeping hair looking sleek and shiny. Plus the mousse has a lovely scent which I really like.

I love the packaging, it's a metallic hot pink tin and contains all the information you would ever need for a perfect hair day, everyday! Plus the spray nozzle is easy to use, and allows a sufficient amount of mousse to come out. I would recommend you give this mousse a try, because it can be used on curls and straight hair, so it's quite easy to double up. The mousse retails for R54 for a 200ml which I find worth it because it gives hair an amazing feel and texture.
