This month we’re shining a light on the hair heroes that have been garnering major praise emojis on the sly. Whether you’re looking for a new styling product, a quick way to get rid of that ankle hair poking out from the bottom of your frayed jeans, a new treatment or just a bloody brilliant shampoo, we’ve got it all here for you.
Schwarzkopf Beology Aqua Shampoo
You say: “This product range pulled me in with the sleek packaging. It looks like a product you’d find at a high end salon, but at an affordable price. I decided to purchase the range as I love constantly changing up my hair routine. This shampoo is really good at cleansing my hair without making it feel dry. It lathers well, and is easy to rinse out. It leaves my hair feeling soft, clean and fresh. I love that the bottle has a pump, meaning I don’t use too much each time.” – bh member Beccaduncan23
bhave Leave-In Crème
We say: “Got damaged hair? Here is your hair saviour! Containing slow-releasing ceratonia peptides, this leave-in hair treatment works deep within the hair structure to continuously repair damaged strands. With the natural dream team of certified organic argan oil, macadamia oil, vitamin E, sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil, this nourishing product will guard against hair breakage and promote new hair cell growth while restoring elasticity and shine”.
Mason Pearson Handy Pure Bristle
You say: “I bought my Mason Pearson when I was 8 years old with birthday and Christmas money and it’s still in the same condition after 17 years. The bristles are so strong and a decent length to distribute the natural oils along your hair and massage your scalp, which no other brush has been able to do for me. I have incredibly thick, wavy hair and these bristles are perfect. I don’t think I could ever use another brush, so if something happens to my Mason Pearson in decades to come, I’ll be repurchasing. It’s worth the investment and for me as an 8 year old making a big purchase (it was $118 back in 2000 at Myer) for an ‘investment’ item, it felt pretty special and I recommend the idea to other young ones!” – bh member laneofjane
Headlines Hairpieces Volumisers
We say: “Got thin, fine hair that needs a bit of a boost? Enter these genius hair pieces! Perfect for making your hair appear thicker, fuller and more voluminous, the Volumisers come in one block length that clip easily into the hair – so you can take them in and out as you please. Plus they’re available in 11 shades and three different lengths (30cm, 40cm and 50cm), so finding your hue is a cinch. You’ll have bouncy, luscious-looking locks, minus the painstaking wait for your hair to grow!”
Scunci Girl Heart Shaped Detangling Brush
You say: “My hair is low maintenance when dry, but once it gets wet it becomes knot city! This brush has changed my hair game. Now that I can gently brush my hair whilst wet/damp I am able to detangle my hair before drying which has left my hair smoother and frizz free. I highly recommend this to anyone who has knotty hair when wet. It is gentle to to use and no breakage to use whilst wet.” – bh member Nicoler112
QV Hair Gentle Shampoo
You say: “I wanted to see whether this could make a difference to my itchy scalp. This is a gentle, non-irritating shampoo that effectively cleanses the hair whilst rehydrating the scalp. This had next to no scent at all – it smelt like other QV products such as the lotion or body wash. It lathered very effectively and left my hair clean – there was no need to repeat. The shampoo wasn’t at all drying – my hair felt soft, even prior to conditioning. This shampoo easily performed as well as any shampoo I have used.” – bh member beautystar
BIC® Soleil Bella® Sun-Twist Scented Disposable Razors
You say: “I found this pack of BIC® Soleil Bella® Sun-Twist Scented Disposable Razors in Coles while doing my usual shopping. They come in a pack of 3 blades with a pivoting head and rubber handle they fit onto. The blades are lubricated with strips of aloe to pamper your skin and they state that they are perfumed but I did not smell much at all. However, the razor is easy to use and glides nicely over your skin without leaving nicks and gets into all the small places especially under your arms. I am very pleased and will continue using them. I got the pack for $5.00 but I think they might have been on special at the time.” – bh member shaper
