Chop it all off?

I've been unintentionally growing my hair for almost two years now, but due to a binge session of Parks and Recreation I've been tempted to chop it all off. I think that I need to think about it for a little while to make sure that it isn't just 'a passing fancy' but I have been considering it for a while due to the ridiculous amount of time and effort that I have to put into my haircare routine. Don't get me wrong, I do love having long hair, but if I could have it without all of the fuss that would be a thousand times better!

I've been scouring the internet to try and find pictures of bob length/medium length hairstyles that I like, but I'm still no closer to choosing. I thought that I would do a blogpost on my favourite hairstyles and see what you guys think!


Aubrey Plaza as April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation

Okay, so I recently sat down and worked my way through Parks and Rec in a few days. I'd started watching it last year because my History teacher told me that Aubrey Plaza reminded her of me, so I thought that I would check it out. I got halfway through season two last year and decided to start watching it again last week. If you haven't seen it, I really do recommend it, I genuinely think that it is one of the funniest shows out there. Anyway, I love April's style throughout the series, she always wears colours which really suit her complexion and I also love her hair. I think that if I was to go back to short hair, I probably would go for something like this.


I love Emma Stone's sweeping fringe (as well as her new hair colour but I could never pull that off) and I love the length of her hair!


I loved it when Patricia Bright cut her hair! She did a whole video on her new haircare routine (link here) and I loved the way that her hair looked! I've had my hair bob-length short before when I was younger and I did like it but I'm not sure if I want to go back to it.

I'm thinking that if I get my hair cut, I might for for this fringe, but with the length of the Aubrey Plaza haircut above. I'm not sure though! I do miss having a big fringe but having second day hair was always a greasy nightmare.

I'm so undecided! Do you guys like these styles? Leave a comment below!

Thanks for reading!

Umberto Giannini Frizzi Rebel Without The Coarse Dramatic Results Styling Spray Review


A few weeks ago I picked up this product on the 3 for 2 offer at Boots, and I have to say that if you're going to buy any haircare product this year: the Umberto Giannini Frizzi Rebel Without The Coarse Dramatic Results Styling Spray (what. a. mouthful.) should be it. I absolutely love this product as it's made a real difference to my hair whenever I've used it. At £5.99 it's not hugely expensive, unless you're on a budget like me but it's thoroughly worth it especially if you catch it when Boots has an offer going on.

Pros:
- Not ridiculously expensive.
- Available in Boots where there's a shop pretty much everywhere.
- Easy spray bottle, not messy.
- Only takes about half a minute to apply.
- Has an in-built heat defence.
- Makes my hair ridiculously soft after use.
- The packaging is quite nice and stands out amongst my other products.
- Quite a large bottle for your money.
- Really does de-frizz my hair.
- Adds shine.

Cons:
- If you're on a budget like me, it's still quite expensive.
- The area it sprays on is quite concentrated on a small area.





So, that's my review of the Umberto Giannini Frizzi Rebel Without The Coarse Dramatic Results Styling Spray! Hope you enjoyed, I really do love this product I think it's fantastic! If you've tried this product, leave a comment in section below :)

Hairspiration



People keep pointing out that my hair is so long now compared to how it was a few months ago, and it really is, I just hadn't noticed! It really needs a trim, and I'm being very very indecisive about how I should have it cut. I would quite like to keep some of the ombré that I have in, but I'm so unsure! I've been trying to find pictures online for hair inspiration but I'm struggling, I can't seem to find anything that I really want. I quite like the idea of keeping my side fringe or having more of a one cut in, but I've had it this way for 7 years and it's probably time for a change! I'm thinking about going for something along the lines of one of the pictures below, but I'm a little stuck. All help is appreciated! Thankyou!

Garnier Sleek and Shine 5 in 1 Serum Spray Review

I want to love this, I really do. But I can't because it's just a bad product for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful idea - the concept of a spray on serum is amazing. It's also super easy and takes no time at all, just spray it on and brush it out.
But, I don't know if I'm just not brushing it out properly, if I'm applying too much or what. But it just looks awful. It makes my hair look greasy, as though I haven't washed the ends of my hair in weeks and it's horrible. I found that it smoothed down my flyaways for about ten minutes, after that my hair was back to it's usual mess. There was a shine, but it wasn't exactly healthy as it was just a greasy sort of sheen. And at £3.89 it's not exactly that cheap.


Before using the product.

After using the product. My fly-aways still aren't hugely smoothed down.



My hair here looks kind of clumped together and a little greasy after using the product.

Summary: I feel let down by this product, I advise you not to waste your money on this.
