Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well! 

Today I wanted to write a review on one of my all time favourite hair care products! This is literally a holy-grail product for me and I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without it! 

It’s the Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Relax Smoothing Serum (I know it’s a long title!) 

This serum is a styling hair oil that’s tames rebellious hair, as well as detangles and renews softness and shine. 

The reason I love this product so much is that it completely eliminates frizz and gets rid of those pesky little baby hairs that stick up! I have a LOT of baby hairs on top of my parting and they drive me crazy! But a couple of years ago I read that this stuff would help to control that and it definitely does! I’ve never stopped buying this serum since then because it gives my hair that smoothness that I want. 

 

The only thing that is definitely a disadvantage of this serum is that it reduces volume. I for one LOVE volume in my hair! So to combat this I just use volumizing products like shampoos and styling mists which do still work well with the serum, so I can have the best of both worlds. 

I use this serum as a styling oil, so I apply it on wet hair just after I’ve creating my parting. I just get two pumps onto the palm of my hand, rub it together and apply the majority of it onto the roots, and any leftover product I run it all over my hair. Then once I’ve done that I take a comb and gently brush it through starting at the top of my head. The reason I do this is because if you use too much of this serum it can leave your hair feeling slightly greasy, so use this sparingly and remember that a little goes a long way! 

It looks like a small bottle but this stuff lasts me around 3-4 months, so it’s definitely worth every penny! If you’re looking for that perfect styling serum that will eliminate frizz, get this! I promise you won’t regret a thing! 

Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone, hope you’re all well! For years now I have been searching for the perfect curling wand. I’ve always had the longest wish list every when searching for the perfect wand. I’ve always wanted something that isn’t too expensive, but not too cheap that means the curls won’t last very long. I’ve always wanted a clipless curling wand, just because they seem easier to use. The list goes on, as you can imagine! 

I’m an avid watcher of YouTube beauty videos, and so it was inevitable that I was eventually going to come across the extremely popular NuMe wands. They have always been popular products among the beauty community, and now that I own one for myself I can definitely see why! 

 

The wands come in all different shapes, sizes and styles, all for creating that specific curl you’re looking for! Whether you want tight, little curls or big and bouncy curls, NuMe definitely product a wand to create it! 

For me, I wanted the Magic Wand which is 19mm, meaning that it’s the perfect size for creating tight curls, or big and wavy curls. I feel like this is the perfect, universal curling wand that will work for so many different hair types. The wand heats up very quickly, and it does get very hot so make sure you use the glove that is provided! Trust me on this; I have had a few painful situations when I haven’t used the glove, so please use it! I have extremely hard to curl hair, and it’s very fine hair too, but this curling wand really does make the curl last all day long! I’ve never been so amazed at a curling wand in my life! 

 

The NuMe curling wands unfortunately do not come with a British plug, but you can choose from a US or a Euro power plug. I went for the Euro power plug, only because I go on regular trips to France so I know I can bring my wand along with me when I go. NuMe did provide a British adaptor too, so you don’t need to worry about purchasing an adaptor if you don’t already have one. 

 So here’s what my hair looks like after using the NuMe Magic Wand, and it definitely created soft, bouncy curls that I have wanted to create on my hair for ages! I love the way the curls look after using this wand. Just a little disclaimer, I am wearing hair extensions in this picture, but this wand will absolutely work on shorter hair too! If you’re looking for a new curling wand, please go for the NuMe wands, I promise you, you’ll be amazed!
