Advance Techniques Argan oil Leave-in Treatment





I've been wanting to try Moroccan oil for a while now but didn't want to splash out as it's pretty expensive (£12.85 for a 25ml bottle). However, when I was flicking through Avon i spotted this cheaper alternative - which was on offer for £3.00 (usually £5.50) for a 30ml bottle. I thought it was definitely worth trying for that price, and I am impressed with the results after trying it a couple of times.

The bottom half of my hair is in pretty awful condition due to bleaching, dying and styling (luckily my roots are in great condition now as I started growing out my colour a few months ago!), so I'm always on the lookout for hair treatments which will improve the condition of my hair. I've been using John Frieda full repair serum on the ends of my hair for a while now, and I feel like this has helped a lot (I will review it at some point soon). Recently, I've replaced the John Frieda serum with this Argan oil treatment after washing my hair and I can notice the difference already! My hair feels soft and smooth, and much less frizzy after using this. I'd recommend it for anyone with thick hair, or bleached / colour treated hair, but I think it would be a little too heavy and oily for anyone with fine hair. I'm impressed with it so far and I love it when I can actually notice a difference after using a product so this gets a thumbs up from me, and it's definitely worth trying for £3.00 if you don't want to splash out on Moroccan oil!

Samy: salon systems.


Samy relaxing creme: 37p - Superdrug

Samy the hairspray: 49p - Superdrug

Samy volume and body conditioner: 49p - Superdrug

Just had to share with you these absolute bargains I picked up at Superdrug yesterday! I couldn't believe they were so cheap so I just had to get them even though i don't really need any more products. I had actually been looking for a leave in treatment for frizzy hair as mine can tend to be very dry and frizzy after I have washed it, so I was very happy when I spotted this 'relaxing creme' which is a leave in treatment for 'coarse, resistant hair'..and it was just 37p! I tried it last night and I'm really impressed! I just shampooed my hair, didnt use conditioner and then used this leave in treatment after I got out of the bath. My hair felt instantly softer and more manageable, and today it definitely looks less frizzy and more soft and shiny. So on first impressions i absolutely love this product and can't believe i got such a bargain! Id definitely recommend it to anyone with thick, frizzy or dry hair! 

I'm liking the hairspray from what I've tried of it so far, as it's quite a lightweight formula so doesn't feel too heavy on my hair, also I feel it gives a bit of shine and makes my hair look generally healthier, but this is just my first impression of it. The only downside is I don't think it smells very nice.. Definitely can't argue for the price though! As for the conditioner I haven't tried it yet. I do actually have quite thick hair so i tend to avoid any sort of 'volumising' products, however I liked the sound of this as it claims it is an 'ultra lightweight' formula, so hopefully it won't make my hair feel too weighed down by the product which can sometimes be a problem with conditioners. 

All of these products were on clearance and I'm not sure why but I'm not going to question it! I've had a look on the Samy website and all the products are available here, most for around £5-ish if you want to check them out. Or have a look in your local superdrug and you might be able to find these bargains too! I had never heard of this brand before I spotted these, has anyone else tried any of their products before?
