The Inkey List Hair Care – Scalp Treatments reviewed | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. The quality of your hair strands is determined at the hair follicle. You can of course ruin any hair by bleaching and heat styling, but if your hair grows from strong roots, your chances of silky strands are much higher. But what influences hair health? Well, genetics, diet and a healthy scalp!     And when The Inkey List launched their hair care line earlier this year, instead of shampoo and conditioner…

The Inkey List Hair Care – The Hair Treatments reviewed | Doctor Anne

I swear, 2020 is such a blur when I try to look back!) Well, when they did launch, I purchased four out of the nine products released. Hair Care is my weak spot, with my fine, bleached hair that is prone to frizz I am always on the hunt for products that will transform what I…

Dyson AirWrap Hair Styler Review – Worth your money? | AD

Advertisement info: This blog post is sponsored by QVC Beauty Deutschland. Please read disclaimer. I am not very good at doing my hair. In fact, I am so bad at doing it, I gave up on it a while ago. My hair styling routine basically consisted of: Wash it, brush it, leave it to air dry, which either turned out okay (my hair is fairly straight with just a slight wave) or didn’t work at all, in which case I fell back on a braid or chignon, which is basically…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. If you only spend half the amount of time and money on being “naturally blonde” as I do, chances are you have heard of Olaplex. And maybe you already looked into places to go and prices to pay and, upon looking at the “cost per treatment” section, asked yourself: “Is Olaplex worth it? And how does it really work?”   Well, you have come to the right place – I have been…

LLL Vlogs 36 – Getting my hair done

I really have no explanation why it always takes me so long book an appointment to get my hair done. I mean, the experience is nothing but pleasant! Even if you leave the whole “New hair, beautiful me” – thing aside, what is not to love?     Sitting in a chair with some tea and a book for more than two hours without getting up to a) wipe up spilled milk or b) wipe a bottom or c) wipe away tears due to spilled milk or wiping a bottom…

Hairloss after pregnancy – The nightmare continues

When the postpartum hairloss kicked in after my first child, I was completely freaking out. Never in my life had I lost so much hair, and I do shed quite a lot on a regular basis anyway.     Now, the second time around, I was prepared. But that didn’t help with the freaking out part, to be honest. The only thing that helped me staying calm(er) this time around is the things I have learned about hairloss after pregnancy. So here is a video, telling you all I know…

Deep Conditioning – My recipe of choice

As I told you on Tuesday in my last blogpost, my hair lacks moisture. My ends are dry, I get a lot of frizz and the cold wind and heating don’t really help in improving that. Deep Conditioning has been my method of choice, and while it looks absolutely ridiculous to walk around the flat having your head covered in oil (and other stuff), wearing a shower cap and probably even a woolen hat, it really helped me throughout the last months.   The things we do for beauty, hm?…

Long, healthy hair – Discover what you really need

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I am pinning a lot of tips for so-called “natural hair”. Yes, that is right, tips most likely catered to afro-american locks. A quick glance at my profile picture in the sidebar will reveal what you already knew: That is by no means my hair. Fine, ash blonde and damaged from years of bleach, why on earth would I care what works for a hair type completely opposite to mine?   I will tell you: I haven’t found anyone around the blogosphere that…
