    TA: sachet of anti-dandruff shampoo, thankfully I have never suffered from dandruff so no idea why I am holding onto the sample!

    I have an argan hair oil that I stopped using as I felt it made my hair look greasy and not do what it was supposed to do. The bottle is still relatively full and was wondering if I could possibly use it as a mask to then wash out. Has anyone ever done this or do you think it might be more trouble than it's worth?
    Did owe £9,951.96

    I often use up hair oils as a hair mask overnight and then washout the next day, my hair gets weighed down pretty easily so it's the only way I can make any use of the heavier oils. Hair looks great the next day too :)

    Is anybody else watching the BBC 2 Horizon programme on Hair Care Secrets? It's on as I'm typing this. I've set it to record as well so I can watch it again. Already I've learned how essential conditioner really is, for example and how damaging heat is too. It should be on iPlayer if you've missed it.


    Thanks I may have a look at that, trying hard to improve my hair at the moment.

    Hi everyone!
    Hope you're all well!

    Couple of INs:
    10. L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Low Shampoo - I'm so intrigued by this.It's like a one-step, no foam, shampoo and conditioner. I'm really hoping this works because I have long thick hair that needs buckets of conditioner and it takes me such a long time to wash. It would be great to cut out a step. It's also Sulphate free as it doesn't foam.

    Interested to see what you think of this got this as a freebie in a while ago and only used once, seemed a bit of a faff, really should give it another go.

    10ml Elemis Visible Brilliance Serum 4/4
    30ml Perricone MD Chia serum 5/5 I really loved this and will buy again when other serums used up, finances permitting:D

    What is the Elemis Cleansing Oil like? I think this is the one I got for Christmas. How is it at getting make up off and dealing with dry/sensitive skin? Thanks

    I have sensitive skin too and it would be dry if left to it's own devices. I mostly remove the main of my eye make up with micellar water and cotton pads, mainly because I hate my white wash cloths being all black and manky:eek:, but it deals well with the rest, not had any stinging or soreness, massages beautifully and I also like the smell. I use it as a first cleanse, that or a balm cleanser, followed by a cream cleanser.

    THIS is the one I have.
