As you may well know if you follow me of Twitter - I'm on a mission to become a mermaid. Well...not quite an actual mermaid, I don't want any human centipede business going on with a tuna - I just want mermaid hair! Long, soft, flowy, pretty mermaid hair. So, I've devised an action plan I'm referring to as 'Mission Mermaid' and today I headed out to buy a couple things which should help to make this mission a success...
1. Lee Stafford 'Hair Growth Treatment' | £7.99 from Boots/ Superdrug | I've actually already finished a full tub, this being my second, but didn't really give it a chance to prove its worth. My constant snipping dead ends and hacking inches off on occasion meant that I didn't really notice if it worked! It does, however, leave my hair feeling stronger and softer - always a plus.
2. Umberto Giannini 'Indulgent Beauty Moisture Mask' | £5.61 from Boots/ Superdrug | After scouring the shelves of both of my local Boots, I was dismayed to realise that neither stocked my favourite Naked hair treatment any longer. Not to be deterred from my mission, I opted for this pot instead - I wasn't swayed by the pretty picture on top, promise *cough*
3. Tresemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray | £4.99 from Boots/ Superdrug | I'll be laying off the straighteners during #missionmermaid BUT sometimes straighteners are just...necessary. Seeing as my hair in its natural state is a mass of thick, frizzy curls, I'll be straightening the fringe and using various hats to hide the rest!
4. Holland and Barrett 'Vitamins for the Hair' | £12ish for 120 from Holland and Barrett | I finally bit the bullet and picked up some hair tablets. I put of off for ages, since in theory, I shouldn't need these seeing as I eat healthily. Still, I'll try anything at the minute! GIMME YO HAIR, ARIEL.
So, I'll start taking my hair tablets tomorrow and use the hair treatments religiously. I'll also be laying off the heat styling and introducing more proteins and certain vitamins into my diet - but those both call for separate posts :)
Are you on a mission to become a mermaid, too? Or are you a mermaid already? Any tips?
