TONI&GUY CLEANSE products

Official first post will talk about hair & the few products I often use.

Something you might not know if you're not familiar with my social network mutliple accounts is that I've been a redhead for almost three years now.
By redhead, I don't mean belonging to the Weasley family. No, I've been red since december 2010 (except for this summer when I was indeed a faded red, which was a mix of orange, coppery, pink, ugly ginger...).
Since then, I've come to damage my hair a lot & even had to cut them short last april because it was desperating...My hair was dry, had lost its brilliance, & even the red hair dye wasn't lasting longer than when it was healthy.

For few months now, I take care of it properly.
In a well known French supermarket called MONOPRIX, I stumbled upon british hair products by a brand called TONI&GUY. I had read this name countless times in magazines until I finally found them in real life!
Since September 2012, MONOPRIX released a large collection of haircare products & I've come to love them!
I use the shampoo for damaged hair, the dry shampoo Day 2 Freshness (having greasy hair occasionnaly) & I must say, these products are definitely good. First try of the shampoo was a real pleasure: the smell is pretty nice & instantly after you wash your hair you can feel it soft, silk and nourrished.

 Price of shampoo: 7,94 € (~ 6.5 £/~10$)
 Price of Dry shampoo: ~ 8 € (~6£/~10$)

The dry shampoo can save you if you have fine hair like I do: it can be a nightmare on the 2nd day after your shampoo, it's easily greasy and with absolutely no volume (then you end up looking like Severus Snape). So when I get ready on Day 2, I must admit it saves my life and gives me back the volume effect the freshness of a real shampoo can provide!
Why I don't simply wash my hair again? Because I tend to develop oily hair as soon as I touch my hair too much & also because, having dyed hair, I can't simply wash it everyday or else I will shorten the time before the next dye job. I also want to give my hair a little rest, that's why I wash my hair every two days.

Last product I use a lot but isn't from TONI&GUY brand! It's actually from L'Oréal. To be honest with you dear reader, I'm not a fan of L'Oréal products, let alone L'Oréal Haircare products.
I've been so disappointed by the quality over the years that I absolutely avoid & reject this brand most of the time I hear anything about it.
But, last month, I bought my usual girly magazine & found a sample in it. I forgot it until I stumbled upon it again while arranging the mess in my haircare products &, before my shower, decided to give it a try.
I must say, jfc, I was absolutely stunned after my shower & the day after...
It's a light crème treatment with pro-keratin (keratin being a natural component of the human hair, which explains dry & damaged hair when you lose your natural keratin), & ceramide. It restores & repairs deeply inside! You apply this cream right after you washed your hair, wait a little minute & rinse: the result is absolutely visible. You achieve smooth & silk hair instantly.
The real result though appears with weeks of use. I'm around 3 weeks now & I assure you dear reader that my hair is healthier, less dry! I excusively use it on my tips to be honest because I know how greasy my hair can become if I ever apply anything on the roots.

Price of ELVIVE Total Repair 5 by L'Oréal: 8.06€ (~6.5£ & ~10.3$)




That's all for today!
