Review | TRESemme Keratin Smooth



Information

Brand | TRESemme Expert Selection
Product | 7 Day Smooth System Heat Activated Treatment
Size | 120ml
Price | £6.99
What it claims | TRESemmé 7-Day Keratin Smooth Heat Activated Treatment is a first-to-market breakthrough in new generation hair technology. Using Heat Activated Polymers, this brand new formula is activated simply by using hair straighteners to provide long lasting, salon looking hair that stays beautifully smooth for seven days, and up to three washes. 



To use this product you first start with towel dried hair. It says to use 8-10 pumps of product on medium length hair, in my opinion that is far too much! My hair is about boob length and I use a maximum of 3 pumps. You get a lot of product out in just one pump. So I'd say for short hair 1 pump, mid length 2 and long 3 to 3 1/2 pumps.



I actually really like the scent its smells like a sweet. It works into the hair really easy and doesn't feel greasy. It says to blow dry hair and then straighten, although the blow dry isn't mandatory. Once hairs dry, for best results straighten in sections. This product does make my hair feel really smooth and sleek. I tend to wash my hair about twice a week so the smoothy-sleekness last till I wash my hair again. I don't think it last through a wash. If I don't re-apply my hair isn't as smooth as it is if I do apply it. 



It does say to use with straighteners, so I'd assume its meant just for straight hair. So I did do a few tests with curling my hair to see whether my hair had some nice smoothness in its curls, and no it doesn't work as well with curling your hair as it does with straightening it.

Just one pump of product.

The product itself is very runny and quite a thin consistency. So like I said before it just spreads through your hair with ease. The scent does linger for a few hours after the hair is straightened but not all day. 
All in all I do like this product and I think if your a fan of sleek, straight locks its worth a purchase!

Have a great day y'all!

The Pasty Twist

Hello & Good Evening to you all!
Just a quick hair style post for you today!
Soft straightener curls (first use of heat in 2 months!) & what I like to call the Pasty Twist (because it looks like a pasty!)


I wore this hair style out shopping on Wednesday so I will have a Haul blog coming soon!
Nice mix of cute sleepy-time-p-j's, books and beauty, so look out for that!

This hairstyle is super easy to create.
The Straightener/FlatIron Curls:
Make sure you have liberally applied your heat protector, currently I am using Tresemme, then comb through and let dry. 
Then taking your Straightener/FlatIron, I used my beloved ghd's section off a piece of hair and gently clamp vertically, then slightly twisting inwards or outwards, pull gently down the length of your hair. The further around you twist the tighter your curl will be. Repeat around your head.

The Pasty Twist:
Take a section of hair near your face and split in 2, pass the bottom section over the top section, then add a little bit of hair to the new bottom section, then pass up and over the top, and repeat. I did this round to the middle back of my head then pinned in to place with to large slides (when twisted my hair is rather thick!).

To finish off I sprayed a little glossing spray on my hands, I used one by Inecto-Pure Coconut Spray and just rubbed through my curls to separate them.
&
Voila!

Nice and simple!

Hope you enjoyed
