My Top Five Hair Products That Give Volume & Texture!

Happy Bank Holiday weekend everyone! I hope your all well and enjoying your time off work. Firstly I want to apologise for the lack of posts, it's just been a couple of hectic weeks and unfortunately life has gotten in the way a bit. But I'm back and have a fun filled schedule of posts for you all, so make sure to keep checking back for those. I was having one of those feeling organised moments the other day and decided to sort through my stash of beauty products. As I was going through my haircare bits I realised there were so many gems in there that I've simply not gotten around to blog about, so I thought I would feature a few collectively in one post for you all and if any of you want in-depth reviews let me know and I'll add it on my list of things to blog about.

As some of you may know, when it comes to my hair I'm never happy. Yes, I love the length and it grows really quickly, but my locks are very thin and fine and trying to achieve volume causes me so much trouble in the morning. Having this problem means that I've gone through my fair share of hair products that help  give me voluminous thicker looking hair. Today I'm sharing with you the best of the bunch as I know that I'm not the only one with this hair problem.

Envy Professional Big Hair Root Volumiser 

I cannot tell you just how much I love this product. The Envy Professional Big Hair Root Volumiser or as I like to call it 'my magic spray' is the perfect product that really gives your hair all the volume you could possibly need. You dispense the product as a spray and coat it though through you hair just before you zap it with the hairdryer. Firstly this spay smells incredible. I can't really pin point the exact scent, but as soon as I spray this it instantly reminds me of a salon. The scent lingers in my hair all day and it makes me feel as though I've had my hair professionally done each and every time. This non sticky spray really uplifts my roots and makes styling my hair all that more easier. As my hair is long its always feeling weighed down, but the Big Hair Root spay just gives my roots a little bit of bounce. What's really great is that this added volume lasts and doesn't disappear after a few hours, which so many volumising products seem to do. This spray is a volume must have.

Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Body Booster Mousse 

Mousse is something that I've only just started incorporating into my hair routine. For some reason for a long while hair mousse just reminded me watching my nan getting ready and styling her hair when I was younger. With this in the back of my mind I was always a little put off. All I can say is what was I thinking? Mousse has been a little hair life saviour over the last couple of months as I love the way it gives my hair that bounce, texture and volume. I've been particularly enjoying the Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Body Booster Mousse (great name) its by far the best one I've tried. This mousse is really lightweight, smells amazing and instantly makes my hair feels a little thicker. What I really love about this mousse is the difference that it makes to my second and third day hair. My go to hair style on these days are always messy pony tails and up-dos and without any product my hair can still look very thin on top. This mousse seems to create the illusion that my hair is a lot thicker than what it actually is and for that reason its one of my favourites. Also how pretty is the packaging?

Schwarzkopf Got2b Volume & Shine Souffle 

I've always been a fan of the Schwarzkopf Got2b range, their yellow hairspray is still my favourite hairspray ever and is a hair product that I can't be without. Deciding to try a few more products in the Got2b range I picked up the Volume & Shine Soufflé which is supposed to add textured volume, add shine and be a weightless finish. Well, it's made its way into this post as this soufflé does all three and is a great way to add instant volume and texture into your hair. This product is a little bit different to anything that I've ever tried before, it has whipped like texture to it and it has a slight strawberry smell to it which smells amazing. This non sticky and weightless mousse can be applied into dry hair and really uplifts your hair straight from the roots. This is a product that I often use on my second day hair, again it just gives whatever hair style I'm rocking that day a little more life and lift to it. It's also a great product to use if you like braiding your hair as it gives your hair a little more grip as well as texture. Not only is this a great hair volumiser, it's a great styling product too.

Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Texturising Spray

I think this texturising spray from Charles Worthington possibly has to be one of the most hyped up hair products of last year and rightly so; this spray certainly doesn't disappoint. I think when creating volume its also really important to add texture. The two really go hand in hand and this is the spray that instantly gives you both. Whenever I've styled my hair, whether its down or up, this is the spray I reach for! I think you really notice thin hair right at the roots and because of this I've always gotten into the bad habit of backcombing my hair. This spray really is backcombing in a bottle, its that good. During styling or after, wherever I see that my hair needs that little extra boost of volume and texture, I just spray this and like magic my hair does exactly what I want it to do. I've gone through a few cans of this spray, but I am loving this special Bafta Edition one I picked up recently - So pretty.

Backcombing Brush

I've shared my favourite products for volume and texture but no hairstyle would be complete without a trusty backcombing brush. A volume boost essential thats for sure. I know backcombing is not the most friendly thing to do to your hair, but there is a reason why we backcomb our hair and thats because it works! If you are going to backcomb I think it's really important to use the right brush. I picked this little pink one up ages ago from Primark (cheap and cheerful) and it does the job perfectly. 

So there we have it, my top products for adding a little more volume and texture to your hair. I would love to know what your favourite products are for adding volume are? Let me know in the comments below.

October Favourites

WOW guys can you believe it, its that time of the month where everyone's feed is filled with monthly favourite posts! I can't believe just how quick the months seam to be passing, although right now I'm not complaining one bit as the countdown for Christmas is officially now on! I can't wait to get some Christmas related posts up on my blog, expect to see a few little surprises and of course those loved Christmas wishlist posts... All that excitement aside, today I really want to share with you all just what products I've been loving recently.

L'OREAL COLLECTION PRIVEE LIPSTICK BY JULIANNE 
I wont go into too much detail about just how much I am in love with this lipstick as I dedicated a whole blog post about my love a little while ago, which you can find here. But oh my gosh guys this lipstick is just beautiful and looks so pretty once its on. Everyone needs a good nude and this pink toned one from L'Oreal is just amazing, it gives flawless application and looks great with any outfit your wearing and most makeup looks. I love it.

REVLON COLOR STAY FOUNDATION
I took my blog pictures for this post this morning, and and I've just realised now that this foundation made its way onto my monthly favourites post last month. If that's not love for a product then I don't know what is? Honestly I have been so impressed by this foundation and it really does blow any other high street foundation right out of the water! If your wanting flawless looking skin with a matte finish then I highly recommend this foundation. Not only does it make your skin look perfect but it is so long lasting, seriously this stuff does not budge and will stay put the whole day... AMAZING!

UMBERTO GIANNINI GLAM HAIR SCRUNCH UP THE VOLUME MESSY TEXTURE CREAM
I picked up this product a little while ago on a whim whilst Boots were offering 3 for 2 on all their hair care products (oh Boots how I love you for bringing me such wonderful deals). Anyway this product was my freebie and I've been reaching for it a lot since I picked it up so thought it earned a well deserved spot on my favourites post! When it comes to styling my hair, I'm a style me quick, fuss free hair kinda girl. Most mornings I'll never spend more than 10 minutes on my hair. I always think that the best kind of hairstyle for fuss free hair is messy textured waves and although sea salt spay does a fantastic job at creating surfer girl hair, I find that sometimes my hair just needs that little bit more. I don't want to say too much about just how well this product works at giving your hair that boho looks as I'm planning on getting a full review up for you. So for now I'll just say its brilliant and does such a great job at adding volume and plenty of texture to your hair. 

HASK ARGAN OIL SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER 
Last month I was so lucky enough to be sent this Argan shampoo and Conditioner from Hask Hair and I can honestly say its one of the best hair care products I've had the pleasure of using. As of late my hair has been in tip top condition and I really believe that this shampoo and conditioner have made a massive difference to the healthy condition of my hair. These are such luxury products and straight away I can feel a difference in my hair when using them. I'm planning on getting a full review of these products up very soon so again I wont go into too much detail  but they are seriously impressive. 

So that's everything for this months favourites, I would love to know what you've been loving last month and if any of your favourites match mine?

Gorgeous Long Locks || Double Volume Straight Weave

Double Volume Straight Weave* £39.99 || Wonderland Wigs

When it comes to styling my hair the words volume and glamorous immediately come to mind - for me nothing beats wearing your hair down, swishing it around and having it look just gorgeous and luscious. However getting it to look like you've had a dozen stylists working on your barnet for a good few hours is impossible, especially for us ladies with busy lifestyles.

When I posted my most recent OOTD (picture above) I was flooded with questions asking how I styled my hair, how I got it so long and looking full of volume... well the big secret is, is that hardly any of the hair that you see in that picture is my own. Yep that's right ladies, I cheated and for this particular outfit I had my 'double volume straight weave' in which was kindly sent to me from Wonderland Wigs. 

In the past I've always been a hair extensions kind of girl, popping them in for big nights out, or just those days I wanted my locks to look that extra bit special. Although the process of applying hair extensions is hardly rocket science, it can be a little time consuming - what with applying each weft of hair in the correct position and if your planning on curling them then that's going to add least 20 minutes on top of your getting ready time. However since receiving my hairpiece from Wonderland Wigs my hair extensions have been made a little redundant as applying a hairpiece takes a matter of minutes and gives you the most amazing looking hair ever. 

Honestly I was so excited when the postman knocked on the door and delivered my hairpiece and within a matter of minutes it was out of the box and had made it's way on to my head. The double volume straight weave has been made from high quality synthetic hair. When I read this on the website I have to say I really had no idea what to expect as the only hairpieces I had used in the past were my hair extensions , which have all been made from 100% human remy hair. However much to my surprise the synthetic hair was really soft, shiny and so natural looking and the length of it was just amazing - I think it's one of every girls wishes to have beautiful long mermaid hair and this hairpiece gives you exactly that, 22 inches of long hair really does look give you that big sexy hair look. I also really love how the hair has been layered and has a slight flick to it at the bottom, which really makes it look so natural once its on. 

What really impressed me the most about this hairpiece is the application time. It states on the box that will only take you five minutes to pop it in your hair and they really aren't kidding. The hairpiece was so easy to apply with its grips sliding easily on to your own hair. As there is such a lot of hair for just a few grips I was slightly concerned about just how well the hairpiece would stay put though the course of the day, but amazingly they are really secure and the hairpiece does not budge at all.

Overall I am so impressed with this weave and if your looking to get lush locks in a matter of minutes then I really recommend that you have a browse though the Wonderland Wigs website as they have loads of different 3/4 hairpieces, from curly hair to dip dye hair with a wide variety of colours and shades to offer. I'm always wanting a volume boost when it comes to my own hair and this weave is packed with volume, I just love how thick and gorgeous it makes my hair look. For £39.99 I think this hairpiece is a great alternative to hair extensions and is just perfect for those nights out or special occasions where your wanting your hair to make a big impact. 

Have you tried any hairpieces from Wonderland Wigs? What do you ladies think of this one?

Lots of Love
