It’s the weekend, and to me that means one thing… PAMPER TIME!
A couple of weeks ago I was kindly sent the new Lee Stafford Coco Loco range* to try out. I reviewed some of the argan oil products a few months ago (you can read it here) and I’ve been using the argan oil Miracle Mist every day since – so I was super excited to review the newest range!
I love using coconut oil in my hair to try and give it some life but there are two things I hate about using it on its own: the overpowering smell, and the fact you have to sit around for hours with a ton of grease in your hair for it to work. Usually I have to take an afternoon off, cover my hair in the oil, shove it in a towel and not go anywhere for 5 hours – and THEN have a shower to wash it all out. Too much faff for me, sorry!Luckily that’s why I’m thrilled with this new Lee Stafford range, because all of the products contain coconut oil and none of it involves the faffy, greasy, ‘leave oil in your hair for hours’ situation. Plus the smell is DELICIOUS, the coconut scent is still there but it’s subtle, sweet and pretty much edible.I have to mention the name too, because ‘coco loco’ makes me think of “you go Glen Coco” – and anything that reminds me of Mean Girls is automatically amazing.
Onto the Coconut Mask and Coconut Balm.I have to say I think the Coconut Mask is my favorite product of the 6 – you simply wash your hair, run the mask through your ends and wash it out after 5 mins (I find this 5 mins encourages me to actually shave my legs, which is an added bonus for any lazy girls out there, lol). Even though I think the shampoo and conditioner do a fab job at reviving my dead ends, the hair mask seems to give my hair a full deep cleanse and it gets rid of all the product build-up as well as making it mega shiny.
The coconut balm is also a fab product, but it seems to be a bit of a ‘general use’ product. It can be used for styling or for some added shine, but I have been putting some through my hair if it gets a bit static (so many scarves at the mo!). I have to say it looks exactly like coconut oil normally does (shock, but you know what I mean) and I was worried it’d give my hair that ‘greasy look’, but it somehow doesn’t which I’m so pleased about!
