Damaged Hair?


Especially when the weather changes, my hair just hates me.  I have a dry scalp and dry hair, so I walked into Lush screaming HELP!  The two products they recommended to me, plus a treatment I found from Garnier Fructis, have completely overhauled my damaged hair.

Lush's Rehab Shampoo has a minty smell, which wakes you up in the morning and gets you energized.  I've found that you don't need as much product as when using other shampoos.  The consistency is a little more liquidy than I'm used to, as opposed to the more gel-like shampoos I've used.  After using this, my scalp isn't the least bit dry or irritating.

The Retread Conditioner from Lush is a perfect match to the Rehab shampoo.  In fact, they were designed as a pair for maximum effect.  It comes in a tub, much like the Lush body conditioners and smoothies do.  I have a major problem with my hair frizzing as it dries.  Let me say that no cream, no conditioner, no shampoo has managed to defy the frizz like this product has.  It's almost nonexistent.  I can finally let my hair naturally dry and not look like I have a lion's mane! Something I will say about this product is the smell.  It doesn't smell bad, per say, but I just don't want this smell associated with my hair.  It smells like a bonfire.  I honestly feel like someone should be roasting marshmallows over my head.  In another context, I would welcome that smell, but not when it comes to my hair.  To combat this, I mix it with my regular conditioner, which has a vanilla and coconut smell.  Now my hair smells good and there's no frizz! 

Now, to further combat my dry hair, I've started to use the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment after I condition.  This is made especially for dry hair, and it doesn't weigh my hair down at all, yet still gives maximum hydration.  I can't describe how silky my hair felt afterwards.  I couldn't stop running my fingers through it!  The best part about this treatment is that you don't have to leave it on for fifteen minutes.  Just one minute, and it's done! Plus, it smells amazingly fruity, but not overpoweringly so.  There's goji berry, passion fruit, and kiwi that pack a hydrating punch to dry hair.  I use this two or three times a week, and I've found that my hair is much more smooth and hydrated.  I will say that I have very thick hair, so I apply this all over my head.  If you have finer hair, I would just apply it to the bottom half of your hair.  It is a lightweight formula, though, so if you're really in need of some hydration, I say go for it and just apply all over!  

With the combination of these three products, my hair has never felt better!  It's much easier to style, shinier, and just looks healthier.
