Ego Professional Straighteners

EGO PROFESSIONAL STRAIGHTENERS*

For me, straightening my hair can be a bit of a chore, which is a problem as I tend to do it quite a lot, maybe once or twice a week. Since using the Ego Professional Straighteners, it hasn't been so much of a chore but, dare I say, a pleasure. 

Packaging wise, it is beautiful. I love the ombre design on both the both and the straightener itself. It also feels very sturdy, yet looks very sleek at the same time. Would it be wrong/weird to say the colours are supposedly "bang on trend" for Autumn/Winter? Either way, I am in love with the packaging and I don't think I could sing its praises enough.

On the dial, it appears the highest temperature is 210°C but don't be fooled, with added heat boost it can go up to 220°C with the flick of a switch. I have been using it with the heat boost at 220°C because it saves time. My hair is long, thick and pretty frizzy so it often takes a long time to straighten/curl/blow dry/basically anything. With the Ego Professional Straighteners I find it takes almost half as long as it does with my usual straighteners, and it seems to me that my hair stays straighter for longer, even when using exactly the same products.

My only slight problem with this is that it doesn't tell when the straighteners have heated up to the desired temperature. It could just be me being completely blind and stupid but I can't see any indication of when it has heated up! This is a bit of a problem as you don't want to waste time - especially if you're in a rush like me most of the time. And also, you don't want to be straightening your hair on a low heat when you actually wanted a high heat.

Overall, I have been loving using these and would definitely recommend them if you're on the hunt for some new hair tools! I've never tried GHDs so I wouldn't be able to compare, but I definitely think they're worth the money!

You can buy these from Beautybay.com, QVC and Instant Beauty Fix.

hair care routine!

I'm having my hair cut soon, so before i do, I thought i'd do a hair care routine. With these products I thought i could prevent and repair split ends, but i already had so many split ends to begin with! I have waist length hair so when i get it cut, if they cut too much off i think i may cry.

aussie 3 minute miracle conditioner: reconstructer and luscious long.
L'oreal studio silk and gloss hot straight spray and cream.
l'oreal mythic oil
l'oreal absolute repair cellular oil

I don't use a specific shampoo, but i either use aussie 3 minute miracle reconstucter or aussie 3 minute miracle luscious long conditioner. It's amazing and leaves your hair feeling soooo soft!

I love the L'oreal studio silk and gloss hot straight spray and cream to put on just before straightening or blow drying my hair.

Although many people have been raving about Moroccan oil, i am yet to try it as these 2 oils are doing perfectly well in my hair! I use it after straightening to blow drying! They don't make my hair greasy or sticky just silky and smooth! Haha :)

That is my hair care routine! Hope you enoyed.. And don't forget to comment down below any recommendations or what products you use on your hair!
