Ella Mae Brings French Hair Care Experience To The UK.

We love a bit of luxury at Frost so we could not wait to get our hands on some Ella Mae hair products. It is fair to say they did not disappoint. They use organic, sustainable ingredients and the range targets specific hair problems. This excellent range works on the hair and the scalp, making your hair feel as good as it looks. They leave your hair and scalp feeling thoroughly cared for and in tip top condition. I particularly love the Rose Water Shampoo and Forever Shine Revitalising Mask. I am obsessed with this range now and I will continue to use it. Luxury haircare at it’s best.

The generous people at Ella Mae are offering Frost readers a discount of 30%. Enter FROST30 at the checkout.

New luxury brand promotes hair health and wellbeing.

French luxury brand Ella Mae was founded by a brother-sister team who had become concerned they were unable to find hair care products that addressed their specific needs, such as slow-growth and thinning.

ELLA MAE, HAIRCARE, shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, luxury

After much research and investigation including journeys to Paris, Provence and Morocco they have created a new hair care range which aims to revive, hydrate and soothe.

Launched in 2019, Ella Mae uses sustainable, organic ingredients sourced in Provence, and after much success in France, has just launched for sale in the UK through their website: ellamae.com

The range was created to be experienced as a treatment to address common problems like brittle and thinning hair, slow growth and dry scalp. Offering more benefits than an everyday hair-washing routine lit leaves hair feeling softer, shinier and more hydrated. If used twice a week, Ella Mae products will result in at least 30% less follicle breakage.

Every Ella Mae product is nutrient-dense, packed with vitamins and minerals helping to keep hair hydrated, frizz-free and protected. Karanja Oil is used throughout the range offering 100% natural antioxidant protection of hair colour from repeated shampooing and UV Rays.

All ingredients used in the range are paraben and sulphate-free, and never tested on animals. When compared to similar products Ella Mae use 35% fewer synthetic ingredients.

Perhaps one of the more unusual ingredients in Ella Mae products is snail slime, which in fact has some of the best moisturising compounds found in nature and is hugely beneficial for both hair and scalp, and promotes healthy hair growth.

The beautifully-designed packaging combines elegance with simplicity. The entire range is manufactured to the highest standards with a strong focus on luxurious textures and naturally intoxicating scents.

READY… STEADY… RESTORA!

 

 

Now that summer is officially behind us (*hearts break everywhere*), it’s time to regroup and prepare for winter. That doesn’t mean just heading out and purchasing a few chunky knits, scarfs and Chelsea boots. It means giving our skin, hair and nails the nourishment they all need after the marvellous months of sunshine.

 

Focusing on our lovely locks, we’ve found the Restora range and are pretty pleased with the results.

 

The Protein Treatment, which is a three step process taking just 45 minutes, rebuilds damaged hair instantly and uses scientific research to figure out exactly what our sun-kissed strands need.

 

The treatment is proven to transform the internal structure of hair, reversing the damage caused by chemical processing, excessive heat styling and sunlight to give you envy-worthy locks which apparently last six weeks.

 

If you just want to test one product in the range, we’d recommend going for the Protein Treatment tube itsslf as this elixir is definitely the hero and will give you noticeable results immediately.

 

It’s available exclusively online at restora.co.uk. Prices start from £8.99 for the Restora Protein Shampoo and Conditioner, and £24.99 for the Restora Protein Treatment.

BYE-BYE BORING BLOW DRY!

Let’s be honest here, the main reason washing your hair is such a drag isn’t the refreshing time in the shower. It’s the lengthy blow dry process. Blow drying in the summer? Far too hot to handle. Blow drying in the winter? Nuh-uh, we’re cold and want to snuggle down in bed. Blow drying in the morning? Too much effort for our sleepy heads. You get the gist.

Enter, PowerDry.ME! PowerDry.ME is the brainchild of a Canadian brand, Design.ME, which is selling out of this beaut blow dry essential across the pond. The spray decreases your drying time by up to 50% (really!) so technically you can have a brilliant blow and style in half the time– WIN.

It’s a specially formed micro emulsion which coats hair fibres, while controlling frizz, offering heat and UV protection and smoothing and conditioning your hair. It also has a really soft, sweet scent too – a bit like a traditional bubble bath!

Ready for the super complicated usage instructions? Here we go…

  • Mist onto damp hair from roots to ends
  • Dry
  • Style

See, miracles do happen!

How much? £14.95 for 230ml

I need it! Visit Sally Beauty (online or in store) to purchase.

Andreas Wendt Haircare Review

Andreas Wendt Haircare Reviewhair Andreas Wendt Haircare Review Andreas Wendt Thermo Protector Styling Spray reviewNothing makes you feel amazing like great hair, so we are always on the lookout for the next big thing to make our hair look brilliant. We got sent some products from Andreas Wendt Haircare. The range launched exclusively in the UK on idealworld.tv in January.

The exclusive range, created by haircare and styling professional Andreas Wendt, looks to target specific elements of hair styling in particular colour and care. Andreas Wendt is best known for his hair-shows and make-overs throughout the entertainment circuit in Germany and Luxembourg, often frequenting the biggest fashion shows.

But is it any good? We tried the Andreas Wendt Age Vital Shampoo and Conditioner which we thought was great. It left hair shiny and more manageable. We couldn’t stop stroking our hair. The shampoo has horsetail-glycogen energy complex, which helps to cleanse and revive hair. The conditioner really hydrates and nourishes. Both give shine. 

Next up we tried the Andreas Wendt Full Tastic Powder. This holds hair and creates volume and texture, a great styling aid that really works.

The Andreas Wendt Thermo Protector Styling Spray is something that everyone should have in their bathroom cabinet. It helps to guard hair from damage caused by heat exposure, the Thermo Protector is a formulation that helps prevent hair from drying out, whilst nourishing it during styling. Containing Panthenol which helps to moisturise hair, improving the condition and giving hair a more visible shine. Heat is very damaging to hair and it is always wise to use a protector. This works well and smells great.

We were impressed with Andreas Wendt’s new haircare range and will continue to use it. We were impressed with the results.

Get Your Hair Party Ready For Australia Day With Aussie Haircare

aussiehaircareDid you know that it will be Australia Day soon? In fact it is on Sunday 26th January. To celebrate @Aussie_Hair_UK, Beautyandthedirt and The Sunday Girl are hosting a Twitter party this Friday between 12.30 and 1.30.

The Aussie Hair Care expert Liz Taw will be on hand to answer hair questions so you can get your hair party-ready for all of those Australia Day parties. You need to use the hashtag #aussieparty to take part. There is a lot of great party-hair looks around at the moment. We have been taking inspiration from the Golden Globes and the SAG/AFTRA awards.

Aussie will be giving away 10 sets of two products to those who tweet either a question for Liz or generally take part – these will be chosen at random throughout the chat and the winners will be dm’d.

Another reason to be excited: Aussie is launching brand new Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light Deep Treatment Mousse, RRP £4.99, in store at the start of February. These are the perfect products to prepare your hair to make sure it’s healthy, shiny and party ready.

These are the perfect treatment for finer hair in need of deep hydration and nourishment. You will also be able to get your hands on 3 Minute Miracle Light Aussome Volume and 3 Minute Miracle Light Mega, which are both light weight conditioning mousses. There is also Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light treatments. They fit in perfectly with your usual shower routine – start with your Aussie shampoo and conditioner of choice, follow with the whipped-cream like mousse, leave-in for 3 minutes then wash out for deep conditioning goodness. Now it’s easier than ever to ramp up your everyday hair routine with a little touch of magic; each treatment will help to nourish fine locks like they have never been nourished before.

The Aussie philosophy is: “There’s more to life than hair, but it’s a good place to start” Too true.
