A firm favourite for washing my hair is Moroccanoil Repair shampoo and conditioner. I’ve used a few of their hair care products over the years (the oil being my favourite) but I didn’t actually try this duo until 2020. After trying it the first time, it was a game-changer for me. Along with the beautiful scent, my hair and weave felt much silkier and smoother than usual.
When drying my hair, I’ve been using the Moroccanoil blowdry concentrate which is an oily serum in a clear glass bottle. I’ve previously used Frizz Ease serum to tame my locks so changing to the concentrate has much improved the condition of my hair when blowdrying. I also found that I didn’t need to use as much product as I did with the Frizz Ease, which is always a bonus.
Finally, I’ve been trying out the Moroccanoil smoothing lotion. I bought a 75ml tube which I’ve used around six times now. I can’t say I’m a massive fan, but it does help to add this product in for my weekly blowdry as I find it helps with the overall smoothing and taming effect on my hair. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll miss it too much when I run out.

Facetheory muslin cloths
I have around 15 of these cloths and have bought extras for my teens as they love them too. We use them to wash our face in the mornings and evenings, and also to take make-up cleanser off (we use cleansing balms).
Absolute Collagen
Absolute Collagen was not a brand I’d come across before 2020 but with some users of the brand reporting visible improvements to their skin and hair/scalp condition, I wanted to see what it could do for me.
Body Shop British Rose Face Mask
The marketing spiel about this face mask promises to quench your skin and give a youthful, dewy glow after use. I’ve mainly used this when having a bath so the results may have been skewed with my plumped pink face from the heat.
