Just can't get enough!

Good mornin' my lovelies.
I've been on this website for hours now just trying to understand everything! I'm in no way a technophobe, but this is completely new to me!
I think i've got the basics sorted now, and the layout especially will change with time, I'll make one or get one of my more creative friends to make me one!

I thought I would start the blogger ball rolling with a review, of a product that at first I wasn't sure about at all (as it was free in a magazine, but shh!)



This is the 'Percy and Reed Finishing Polish'. It was free in Glamour a while back (it's the April edition), and I must admit it has been sat at the back of my beauty buys for a good few months. After my most-loved hair product ran out a few days ago, I thought I'd give this a whirl.

You can apply it when your hair is dry or when you've just washed it. I have to at least wet my hair down every morning, because my curls don't last a night's sleep! I applied this as my hair was drying naturally after towel-drying.
The first thing I noticed was that it seemed to dry my hair quicker. I'm not sure if this was intended or even if it was the polish, but I do like that quality (especially when I'm late in the morning!).

The results were great - my curls were defined more and there was definitely less frizz (a killer if you have curly hair!). One of my friends, with straight hair, tried out this product too. She said that it smoothed her hair and left it straight and soft.

This product is really good. I never expected it to be, but after researching Percy and Reed a bit, I have seen that it doesn't come cheaply and is well respected! I'm glad that my usual hair-care product ran out because I wouldn't have used this product if it hadn't!

The only slight down-side of this finishing polish is that it doesn't smell that good. It may just be my sense of smell, as I have seen many people love the smell, but I don't like it at all. My hair is left smelling of it all day and sometimes it is too strong.

All-in-all, I'm not sure at the moment if I will re-purchase this product. A 250ml tube of this finishing product will set you back about £15, and as I am not sure on the smell, I'm not sure if it's quite right for me. I'll see how it goes and let you know!
