Lee Stafford - For Hair That Doesn't Grow Past A Certain Length

"If the earth is not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers"



So pink is not my favourite colour at all, but I don't know what it is about Lee Stafford products that always attracts me. Every time I'm in Boots or Superdrug I can't help but look at the Lee Stafford Pink Range!

If you haven't read, I have been having micro bonds in for a couple of months (read here) but recently had it taken out due to matting etc. Although the micro bonds did help my hair grow as I didn't wash it as much or use straighteners I was still unhappy with the length! I have unrealistic expectation and I literally thought my hair was just going to grow an inch a night! So wasn't long before I was trolling through the internet for "how to make my hair grow faster tips" and although I have been doing a couple of those tips such as not washing my hair as often it was still not growing as fast as I wanted it to and I wanted to give my hair a break from more micro bonds so that is my last resort (I'm very impatient). So when I came across Lee Stafford - for hair that doesn't grow past a certain length, I thought why the hell not! At only £7.99 in Boots it was a bargain compare to most hair masks.

This is what it claims it does:
  • Its vital hair and scalp complex helps to reduce hair loss. 
  •  It improves follicle health which in turn increases the ability of the hair to anchor to the scalp.
  • The soothing formulation reduces irritation and moisturises the scalp. 
  • It addresses hair and scalp ageing at a cellular level whilst providing an improvement in tensile strength to give body and texture by penetrating the hair reaching the inner cortex
  • Improves feel and volume of hair
How to apply:

The treatment is an inbetween shampooing and conditioning. You would use an "egg size" amount and apply it directly to your roots massage towards your ends. This you would do after you shampoo your hair and you would leave it in for FIVE minutes before rinsing it out and using your normal conditioner afterwards. Now there isn't really a lot to do in the shower for five minutes so there's a lot of standing around. 

Lee Stafford recommends that you use this every time you wash your hair until the condition of your hair is better and then use once a week!

My verdict: 

Pros: Although it does not make my hair magically grow every time I use it, it has made my hair a better condition! The first time I used it I thought it wouldn't work as my hair didn't feel any different but the more you use it the softer my hair felt. So I guess Lee Stafford is right a well nourished hair makes the hair grow faster! 

Cons: Every time I use it I seem to shed a lot more hair than usual, I'm not quite sure why.. But the unclogging of matted hair is not the one! Also it smells weird, I'm not good at describing smells, it smells like if you had your hair perm or permanently straightened but less strong? (See what I mean about bad description!) 

I thought I would give it a score! So with my verdict I would give it a 6/10! I'm still in search for hair growing tips, so if you have any send them my way!

Have you tried Lee Stafford's For Hair That Doesn't Grow Past A Certain Length? What did you think?

Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser

So this bad boy was in my payday wish list! Let me tell you beauties I love it. I cannot rave about it enough! At first I thought oh its just one of those products that's going to leave me feeling sticky and doesn't actually moisturise me at all. But I was wrong! 


This product is a savour! If you have dry skin and you cannot be bothered to moisturise this is the product for you! I am literally so lazy when it comes to moisturising, don't get me wrong I always moisturise my face and hands but body was the last thing on my mind, so when sun started shinning my scaly legs come out to play.

When I saw the advert I thought why not give it a go, at only £3.56 a bottle I just couldn't resist. So the idea of it is to put this on after shower gel, scrub or anything that you do as this doesn't clean you, then you just rinse it off and dry and you are ready to go out! I absolutely love it, I can honestly say I am scale free! I'm not feeling itchy or conscious about my legs and arms!

This is my must have product, it has taken a permanent place in my bathroom! Recently got my second bottle as it was on offer in Tescos! Love it. 

What's your must have product?
