Toni & Guy Cleanse & Nourish

I've been wanting to try some different haircare for a while now & I luckily got these with a Superdrug order. Win!

These are the Toni & Guy Cleanse & Nourish Shampoo & Conditioner.


I usually stick to 'colour protection' ranges with haircare, however I'd love to find something new!
I have used Toni & Guy shampoos & conditioners before and loved them so that's already a good place to start.

So firstly the shampoo smells quite nice, but a little like an aftershave & the conditioner smells a little like baby powder. Which I'm not a big fan of, however once out of the shower the two smells are pretty nice together.

The shampoo is one that you have to work a little bit to get it to lather & move around the hair. I also feel like it cleanses the hair quite a lot. In the sense of it leaves your hair feeling a little stripped after you've washed out the shampoo. I think it also helped remove a bit of my colour build up.

You then use the nourishing conditioner to add any lost moisture into the hair. The conditioner is a little easier to work through your hair & is super nourishing. I really understand the relationship between the two products, they work great together!

After using both of these my hair feels really soft, with a little less colour build up. I also noticed that it's not as frizzy too, which I love as I do struggle with frizz at the roots!
Another great thing is that it doesn't make my hair greasy either, some shampoo's make my hair greasy after only a day. This one however I managed to go three days before washing again.

Overall I'm loving these products!

No Fade Red

Some of the questions I get asked all the time are "what hair dye do you use?" & "How do you stop your red hair fading?"

I have answered these in a video so if you'd prefer to watch that click here!


So firstly the hair dye I use is The Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Real Red (35).
This is the only red I have ever used on my hair, however I do have some colour build-up as I have been dying it red for approximately 4/5 years.

This leads me onto the fading part. My hair doesn't really fade now as I have been dying it that same colour for so long. When I first dyed it, it did used to fade quite a bit especially on the ends.
Another thing that I found helped is using shampoos & conditioners that are targeted for dyed hair, even better for red hair.

Firstly I used a Toni & Guy red haircare range, however that had some glitter in it which I wasn't a fan of. Then for a long time I used Tresemme's Colour Fade Protection range (which I still sometimes use) & now I generally use John Frieda's Radiant Red range. All of which I would recommend to prevent fading. If you're looking more to add a bit of vibrance & colour I would go for the John Frieda.

Dove Youthful Vitality

I bet you're wondering why I'm reviewing a product for ageing hair, well I received these in a Glossybox and thought I might as well make the most of them.

So these are the new Dove Youthful Vitality (for ageing hair) Shampoo & Conditioner.

I don't really use Dove, they're just not a brand that appeals to me although I feel the packaging for these is a lot nicer than their standard packaging.

The products smell nice and fruity which I like from haircare products. They also apply nicely to your hair, they aren't too runny or too solid.
However after using these products I feel like my hair just holds onto water like there's no tomorrow.
Obviously these products are aimed at old & dry hair.
Which really isn't my hair type at all!

So for me they just over hydrated my hair and weighed it down, but this does tell me that these products are super hydrating & nourishing!
So if you do have dry hair (unlike me) you'll probably love these products and feel they really help your dryness.
So the more mature lady with dry hair, these products are for you!

So although a negative review from me there are positives to these products, it just depends on your hair needs!
