Monday Morning ...

So ... Its Monday again! 


This Monday is a little different as I am back in my flat at uni. Today I have a lot to fit in - uni work, gym class, food shopping and then a meal out with a friend.


I have just had a shower and washed my hair and so thought I would give some information about the shampoo I am currently using.


My hair is ... with no better way to explain it 'boob length' and quite thick, I usually have it in a middle parting either straight or curled :) My hair can get quite greasy if I don't wash it everyday and although that's unhealthy for it I hate having greasy hair!! 


I have never really stuck to a shampoo brand, its always been whatever is in the house and whatever I can find in the shops! But 3 months ago I decided to stick to a brand and chose Pantene Smooth and Sleek (what a mistake that turned out to be ... ) At first my hair felt incredible, really soft and sleek (as it promised) and then after about 2 months of use it all went downhill ...


I was getting ready for a date (I know - worst time for a hair disaster) and was drying my hair and realised that it felt really ... weird. So I continued drying it but my roots didn't seem to want to dry .. So I left it and straightened my hair ... that was when I saw the full scale of the disaster. From 2 months of using this shampoo it had built up a sticky oily residue in my hair, I looked like I had washed in oil. It was NOT a good look. Continued attempts of straightening and dry shampoo didn't help and I went on my date looking like a seal caught up in an oil spill. Needless to say, I didn't get a second date. 


I ran out the next day to buy a new shampoo .. just a cheap shampoo which didn't have any damaging products in when it happened again!! The residue was so thick on my hair that it would not come out. In the end I had to buy a shampoo especially designed for oily hair to strip it so I could start again. This shampoo left my hair really dry from using it everyday but worked well and now (*self consciously touches hair*) its back to normal!


I am currently using tescos own brand (I'm a student!!) coconut everyday shampoo which by the 'everyday' title I assumed it was good for daily use and hopefully I wouldn't have the same disaster and a dove conditioner :) this seems to be working well.
