Yes To Hair products !

Today's post is a review on a shampoo & Conditioner from the Yes To Cucumber Range.


I have been trying out a few of the Yes to products but this is the first product that is Yes to Cucumbers so i was interested to see how a shampoo /conditioner like this would smell. It does smell of cucumbers, but in a really fresh and invigorating way. The smell is so hard to describe. If i could give an award for the freshest smelling shampoo it would have to go to these.

Yes to Cucumbers Shampoo/Conditioner £8.99 500ml Each

The Yes to Cucumbers shampoo is created for colour treated hair. Packed full of ingredients like Centaurea Extract ( a botanical extract ) to help protect hair from light and lock in colour.
Organic Cucumbers for nourishment and Aloe Vera the Magical plant that refreshes, hydrates and gives hair amazing shine.


 Yes to Cucumbers conditioner is again aimed at colour treated hair with Organic Cucumbers. Centaurea Extract and Green Tea for protection and shine







Did they Work for me:

All in all i really love the way the two products worked on my hair. I was left with shiny glossy locks and i do think they helped keep my colour looking bright which is hard work when you have coloured red hair.

The smell is a bit unusual i can't decide if i like it or not. It's really really fresh smelling and totally different to any other shampoo I've tried. Saying that the smell doesn't linger on the hair once its dry so its not really an issue for me.


My hair feels so clean after using these and i can get away with an extra day before washing my hair as it seems to get less oily for some reason at the roots.
The conditioner is light but it still has plenty of slip and detangles my hair well and makes it feel really soft.

The bottles are huge and seem to last for ages so good if you are on a budget but still want to use great products with natural and organic ingredients.

I'd love to know if anyone else has tried these before and if so what did you think?

Liz Earle Shampoo & Conditioner

Good Morning lovely ladies. Oooh another Liz Earle review for you. This time its for the Shampoo & Conditioner which i have been eager to get hold of after reading lots of good reviews when it was first launched.

As always the products come beautifully wrapped in tissue paper

I received the Botanical Shine Shampoo and the Botanical Shine Conditioner for fine or oily hair. I really like the fact that you have a choice of 3 conditioners the other 2 are more suited to normal hair or dry/damaged hair.


Botanical Shine Shampoo 200ml £7.65

A very gentle but thorough shampoo loaded with natural Vitamin E, West African Shea Butter and shine boosting Apple and Orange extracts. Of course there are no nasty chemicals which is to be expected with all Liz Earle products.
I really love the fragrance of this shampoo. You can smell the zingy orange and apple which is really refreshing and it feels lovely and soothing on my scalp.
Leaves my hair sooo shiny and feels fresh for ages after using. The smell is very subtle once rinsed but it does linger for a little while. Would i buy this again YES



 Botanical Shine Conditioner for Oily Hair 200ml £7.65

The website states:
With black cohosh, yangu oil, blue seakale and shine-boosting apple and orange extracts, our ultra-light, finely balanced colour safe conditioner leaves oily, dull, limp or lifeless hair shiny, volumised and full of life.

This Conditioner does exactly that. It again smells amazing, feels extremely light and leaves my hair really shiny, weightless, full of volume.
I suffer with oily roots and dry ends. So the problem for me is while this conditioner is perfect for everyday use it just isn't rich enough for my dry ends.

However this is my awkward hair type rather than the product in question. I might try the conditioner for dry/damaged hair and use it alternate washes or once a week.
I wonder is Liz Earle will bring out a weekly hair treatment mask? That would be fantastic.

Since using these i have had no itchy scalp which was sometimes a problem in the past and it was very gentle on my coloured hair. If you haven't tried these yet then i would give them a shot.


  Liz Earle have an offer on at the moment where you can buy any 3 hair products for £19.95 and get free Postage and Packaging
Ideal for those of you who already use and love the range and need to stock up. ( I know there are quite a few fans out there )

Don't forget to check out my Liz Earle giveaway too. Link on the right hand side photo. xx

Tommy Guns Shampoo & Conditioner

Morning my beautiful blogging friends, i am on a serious hair care mission at the moment. I'm looking for the perfect products for my hair.
On this mission i intend on trying LOTS of different products to see exactly what's out there in the giant field of Shampoo, conditioners, treatments, styling products etc.
The first combo I've been using is this little twosome:

Jasmine & Wild Nettle Shampoo & Jasmine, Wild Nettle & Sweet Almond Conditioner


Tommy Guns products are a range of salon and nature inspired products at an affordable price.
This duo is designed for thirsty, dry undernourished and coloured hair types.

These two products smell beautiful and i have really enjoyed using them in the shower. Although they are designed for dry hair i still find them both quite light and they don't weigh my hair down which is a nice change.

Overall a lovely set of products and my hair is looking unbelievably shiny. I think i will try some of the other range as the Fig & Plum shampoo & Conditioner for frizzy hair sounds Delicious.
Priced at £4.99 each they are a really good price too.

Shiny Hair :)


Available from John Lewis, Waitrose and Ocado. I like the fact that you can add these in your trolley when at the supermarket. There's nothing like a little beauty treat to brighten up a weekly shop.
Anyone else tried this range before and if so what do you think?
