Because Your Hair Needs TLC Too

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather! I cannot believe how beautiful the weather is & how much happier it makes you feel! That isn't just me is it?

I have spent my day today actually indoors. My wardrobe has finally defeated me & it really did need a ruthless sort out! I have so so many clothes, shoes & bags. It's actually crazy. But it has been a productive day at that so I cannot complain. Plus now it means I can actually see what clothes I have & I still have a good supply still so I'm still winning :) 

I don't know about you but in the summer time period my hair can become pretty dried out from the sun & things. Especially if you go on holiday & you are in & out of the pool every day or sunbathing & things. It really can take its toll on your hair.So I do really try to use the best products on my hair to help give it that extra moisture it needs. Especially as you may have seen a previous post of mine that I suffer from Trichotillomania (TTM for short as it is known. Which is a hair pulling disorder which is an impulse kind of thing. So for me it is extra important to give my hair what it needs.

An absolute favourite ingredient I love to have in my hair products is Argan Oil. I love the stuff it always leaves my hair feeling so soft & shiny & also helps with its condition. It is a great property to have in your hair care range too if you are looking to help grow your hair & keep it strong.

Because if I use the same haircare products for too long my hair tends to get used to it so I have to often mix up my products & try new ones. So my hair products which I have started to use now are by Dr Schedu Berlin.

Dr Schedu Berlin help give you that salon quality hair care products at affordable prices. Their products contain highly effective ingredients which give great results. Not only that but the products do not contain harmful substances.They are 100% silicone free, paraben free, paraffin free, as well as free from ammonia and they are 100% animal cruelty free!



I chose two different shampoo's which I have so far tried one of them & I have to say after washing my hair it makes it feel so clean, soft & fresh. Not only that but also smelling so nice!

The shampoo's I go were:

Argan Oil & Jojoba Oil 
This leaves your hair looking healthier. The Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil leave your hair with a long lasting glow. It helps strengthen lifeless & weak hair. It contains lots of vitamins & minerals to give your hair the extra moisture it needs. But the Argan oil leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth.

Keratin Collagen Shampoo 
This shampoo is great for all hair types. Its formula contains mild silicon free cleansers which help to leave your hair looking healthy. The high keratin content gives you hair that extra moisture it needs. But also the shampoo contains dead sea minerals which supply your hair with calcium, magnesium & sodium to help give your hair the elasticity it needs & also leave it more manageable. It surrounds each hair shaft like a film & the collagen treats fine breaks in the hair to help increase your hairs volume, smoothness & protection.

With regards to conditioner I got just the one of these to try:

Keratin Collagen Conditioner
So this conditioner is from the same range as the Keratin Collagen shampoo I purchased. The conditioner contains a high content of keratin, collagen, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Argan Oil & Panthenol. It helps give your hair the extra moisture it needs & gives it a natural glow. It is also meant to help dramatically smoothen, soften & make your hair more healthier. It also contains high ratios of vitamins & Jojoba oil which help to repair damaged ends & protect against any further damage. 


Then lastly I got two products which I always use in my haircare range. Which are an intense hair mask & an oil. So from Dr Schedu Berlin I got:

Keratin Collagen Intensive Treatment 
Again this is from the same range as the Shampoo & conditioner I got. But this treatment is something I would only use like once or twice a week just to give my hair that extra care it needs. Like the other products from this range it contains the same ingredients just this treatment is a bit more intense. 

100% Pure Argan Oil 
This is 100% pure Argan oil which has been extracted without any use of chemicals. It contains a high number of vitamins to help keep both your hair & skin healthy. It helps to nourish your skin, nails and hair. You can use this oil undiluted by applying directly to the scalp, face, neck, hair & nails twice a day. To use it with your hair care routine you can add a small amount to your shampoo, conditioner, or hair treatment to give it that extra content. 

I have to say I am so so impressed with the products I have used to far. The quality of them is so good, the smell of the product is just a basic clean sweet smell but they leave your hair feeling so soft, smooth & well conditioned. So if you are like me & have quite dry, hard to manage hair this is perfect for you. But if you don't there truly is something from their ranges to suit you!

Have a fab rest of your sunday!

Salon Science Hair Care

19:14pm
Good Evening everyone!
I hope you are all having a fab week so far! I cannot believe we are half way through the week already! This week is going so fast! & I am also lucky enough to be off work next week too as I had holiday to use up.

Today in the post I received a lovely package from Salon Science. Which offer a range of hair care products. From helping with  hair growth, radiance, hydration & other issues. So any issues you have with your hair they do something that helps. I have heard of the brand before but I will be honest I haven't tried any of their products.

When it comes to shampoo's & conditioners I do often have to change what I have because if I use the same brand for too long it stops becoming effective on my hair & just tends to make it feels greasy & unpleasant. Then it just feels like you had need not of bothered washing it. Is that just my hair or is anyone else like that?

For anyone that has followed my blog for a while, well mostly from the start or on some previous posts they would know that I have openly spoken about my battle with depression & anxiety. Which is now under control but obviously like any other human being I do have my off dark days. But not only that now I seem to suffer from a condition called Trichotillomania. For those of you who don't know what this is it is an impulse-control disorder, a psychological condition where the person is unable to stop themselves carrying out a particular action. So they pull out their hair or eyelashes, eyebrows or something. But for me mine is my hair. I cannot tell you why I do it but I do. It has become such a habit that I cannot get out & it also made me feel self conscious about my hair.  Because it places it doesn't seem to grow as well as maybe it does in other places. At times I don't even know I'm doing it, I just sit then & start doing it. It's such a horrible thing to have & try & get out of. I have found it to be more of a common thing that people now open up about. Even Sam Faiers opened up about her issue with the condition which made her pull out her eye lashes. So I know I am not alone when it comes to suffering from this but I just wish there was a way of stopping myself! I think it started when at primary school & I went through a stage of being bullied & I started doing it but at that point it was really bad to the point I'd pull out clumps of hair & be left with bald patches so I'd have to have a different parting to cover it. It was at that point my mum took me to the doctors. It stopped for a while but over the years it has come back but as extreme as it was! 

So because of this I need to give my hair all the nutrients & help it can get to be healthy, strong & help it grow in anyway I can. So the range from Salon science is the Proaccelerant treatment range. This range helps encourage hair growth, helps reduce hair loss, restores your hair to help it be stronger & healthier & helps make your hair thicker & fuller in 3 months. So these things are all the ideal things I need. I have never actually purchased a hair range targeted at hair loss & encouraging hair growth before so I am excited to see the results of this range. 


I have got the shampoo, conditioner & also treatment which comes in two bottles. You apply the treatment to dry or towel dried hair twice a day. You apply the nozzle directly to the scalp & apply the treatment in sections. You have to ensure the scalp is covered,  then massage it into the scalp to help stimulate the circulation. Then you simply leave it in. 

All of Salon Science ranges can be purchased from your local boots or boots online. 

I will be sure to keep you posted on how I get on with the hair care range. It could be a great help to help my hair. But for those of you who suffer from Trichotillomania don't feel ashamed! You aren't the only one to suffer from it & you certainly won't be the last. But just try to keep busy as I find that helps. The less time I have to just sit there or when I'm around people I tend not to do it. But if you do feel like you can't discuss it with others & you want advice or to talk about it just contact me through Instagram: lottiejessica & I am always happy to talk about it if you have any questions or whatever. I used to be ashamed of my issues but over time I think I have just got more open about it because it's more common than you think.
