Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Range

I think I’ve found my perfect set of hair products!  The Super Skinny range by Paul Mitchell aims to smooth and soften hair and it definitely does both.

The shampoo comes in a tall, skinny, stylish bottle and smells good – I don’t think it has a specific smell but it’s kind of melon like.  The conditioner comes in a matching bottle and is actually called a ‘Daily Treatment’ but basically does the same as a conditioner.  I hardly needed to use any of it to make my hair lovely and soft which is practically unheard of with my hair (usually I need to use handfuls of conditioner for it to have any effect!).

There are a few other products in the range but the one I’ve been using to style my hair is the Super Skinny Serum.  The bottle says to apply one pump of serum to your hair but as mine is so frizzy I decided to use two instead, which turned out to be the perfect amount for my hair.  I’ve used the Frizz-Ease serum before but found that I had to use loads of it to combat the frizz and then my hair would end up looking greasy.  It wasn’t really worth the money as the bottle really didn’t last very long.  This Super Skinny Serum though has got rid of the frizz while leaving my hair looking like I’ve got no product on.  It’s also made my hair the softest it’s ever been.

The serum costs £14.25 for 150ml, the shampoo is £9.30 for 300ml and the conditioner is £11.50 for 300ml.  As I don’t need to use very much of the serum, the bottle should last me a while so I think it’s certainly worth the money.  I really like the shampoo and conditioner as well but they are quite expensive so I would probably just buy them as a treat every now and again!

One last thing about the Super Skinny Range – it is supposed to reduce dry time although I haven’t noticed any difference in the time it takes for my hair to dry.  This doesn’t make much difference to me though; I would still buy the products.

SilkPerfect Pur

I’ve heard before that using a silk pillow case can help reduce frizzy hair when you wake up and now I know firsthand that it’s true. It also stops you waking up with pillow creases on your face! The SilkPerfect Pur pillowcase which I’ve been using has cotton inside to stop it slipping off your pillow so it’s comfy to sleep on. I don’t really like the look of the pillowcase but that’s just my personal taste and it really does stop frizz so has got to be worth it!

Dark and Lovely

I have curly, frizzy hair which is completely impossible to control.  At least that’s what I thought until I found Dark and Lovely, Moisture Plus Olive Oil.  It is designed for afro hair but I’ve found that it works brilliantly on my dark blonde Caucasian hair as well.  I only need to use the tiniest amount to calm down all of my shoulder length hair, whereas I have needed to use whole handfuls of other anti frizz creams to make even the smallest difference to my frizz!  Dark and Lovely leaves my curls looking more defined and glossy without making my hair look greasy- it is the best anti frizz product I have ever used in years of battle with my hair!

After finding Dark and Lovely, I looked at some more afro hair products and have found an amazing conditioning mask- Olive Oil Replenishing Pak by Organic Root Stimulator.  I leave it on for an hour or so every few weeks with my head wrapped in a towel or cling film!  It smells gorgeous and orangey and makes my hair unbelievably soft which definitely makes wandering around the house with my head covered in cling film worth while!
