L'Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Wonder Water 8 Second Hair Treatment 200ml
I’ll never feel more confident than when I’m having a good hair day. Taking time to care for my locks properly is like therapy for me, and I try to keep them as healthy as possible! Since using the L'Oréal Wonder Water (or the Holy Water as I like to call it), I’ve noticed such an improvement in the shine and smoothness of my hair.
As someone with long, thick and naturally straight hair, it can be easy for the ends to appear dry and dull, but this formula has injected some life back into it and given it the conditioning boost it needed. My hair has since become my favourite accessory, making me feel fantastic every day of the week!

Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask 100ml
My hair is one of the main things that makes me feel fantastic, and Olaplex’s No.8 has absolutely transformed my hair journey. I’ve always had shoulder length hair, nothing more, nothing less – until I found Olaplex. My problem wasn’t growth, it was length retention. My hair was growing from the top, but the ends were breaking off, which created the illusion that my hair never grew.
The mask is fuelled by the brand’s infamous bond building technology, which helps to strengthen brittle strands and combat damage. This stopped my ends from snapping off, and since using the product once per week, my hair has reached its longest length EVER! Another amazing thing about this formula is how rich it is. You really do only need 2-3 pumps to saturate your entire head. In the curly community, more is usually more, so I was shocked to find a product that was really different. I honestly couldn’t recommend this mask enough!
