My lovely friend Emma Marshall is an absolute beauty fanatic. From the latest cosmetics to haircare products galore, she has them all. For that reason, she is more than qualified to offer up some great advice when it comes to what works and what doesn’t. Over the next few months I’m going to be bombarding her with products to put to the test so she can tell you, my readers (if there are any of you out there), what you should be looking out for this summer. Here she is with her first fabulous post:
The Lush
‘Sea Spray’ is a hair mist that claims to give body, volume and hold whilst smelling delightful. As a sea salt based spray the ideal outcome is bouncy, beachy waves or curls depending on your hairs natural abilities (I have naturally wavy hair).
The first time I used the spray I applied the product after washing with shampoo and conditioner and then blow dried my hair on a hot setting. As I used a hot heat, the messy beach look I desired was not the outcome. However, it left my hair feeling extemely soft and looking incredibly shiny. The ends of my hair certainly had some sort of bounce too, keeping some of the promises on the bottle.
Take 2: Time to take a new approach.
I used the product again after washing my hair. This time I spritzed the product throughout my hair and brushed it in. I then used a cooler setting and blow dried my hair upsidedown for a couple of minutes. I then left it to dry naturally. The outcome was exactly what I had hoped for, messy, beachy waves, whilst feeling soft to touch and smelling exquisite.
The product itself does exactly what it’s meant to and is definitely one for the summer, whether you use it on holiday to carry on the beach wave look into the night or at a festival for a quick hair revival. I will certainly be keeping this spray in my haircare regime.
