Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment 150ml
I have been bleaching my hair for over 6 years now, which naturally has come with some damage, but this treatment leaves my hair smooth, shiny and helps reduce breakage.
Formulated with citric acid and Redken’s bonding care complex, this leave-in treatment helps strengthen hair from the inside-out and protects from heat up to 230°.
L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Nourishing Hair Mask 250ml
I use this once a week and my hair has never felt healthier and stronger! I 100% recommend if you want long-lasting shiny looking hair.

Enriched with glicoamine, this mask helps protect hair from excess copper deposited from your shower water, which can cause damage and impact colour results.
Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Purpose Hair Spray 200ml
My hair feeling so smooth, silky, and hydrated, it’s like having a salon treatment at home. Plus, the fresh scent is such a nice bonus.
Mist on clean damp hair and comb through prior to styling. Color Fanatic can also be applied on dry hair as a refresher throughout the day.
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil L’HuileOriginale Refillable 75ml
I am so impressed with the versatility of this hair oil! I’ve been applying it on wet hair before blow drying for heat protection and on dry hair to tame frizz and add shine.
You can smooth the Elixir Ultimate over your hair to create sleek, mirror-like shine for beautifully soft, elegant styles like buns and low ponytails.
Matrix Total Results Miracle Creator 190ml
I can’t recommend this product enough – it does everything! Whilst I use this mainly as a heat protectant, it also tames frizz, prevents breakage, and works as a detangler.
Miracle Creator can be used on all hair types including dry, damaged, colour treated, wavy/curly. With just a couple sprays, hair is instantly conditioned.
From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
