Tangle Teezer Compact Syler Review

After hearing and reading much hype about the Tangle Teezer, I decided to treat myself to the compact version and give it a go for myself. My hair gets knotted really easily, and with it being both fine and bleached, it's quite prone to breakages.

Designed for both wet and dry use, my main reason for purchasing was to see if it did a better job than my wide-toothed comb at removing knots when my hair was wet and freshly washed. I used it last night to distribute my conditioner, and it glided through my hair so effortlessly that I couldn't feel any pulls or tugs like I do with my comb. There were also far fewer hairs left hanging in the bristles, whereas my comb would fetch out chunks at a time!

 

With a protective case, the Tangle Teezer uses memory flex technology and a revolutionary teeth configuration, meaning it removes knots painlessly and quickly. It's also ergonomically designed, so it sits comfortably in your hands.

 



Overall, I'm really impressed with the Compact Styler. Whilst my usual comb and brush did eventually remove knots, this does so far more smoothly, so it should hopefully help to keep my hair in better condition. It's also great for distributing conditioners and hair masks. LookFantastic offers a great range of Tangle Teezers, and this pink and black Compact Styler is £11.99.

milk_shake Conditioning Whipped Cream

As my hair is bleached and paper thin, it needs an extra bit of help to stay looking healthy. Until I received this milk_shake Conditioning Whipped Cream in a Glossybox a few months ago, I was completely unfamiliar with the brand, but I'm so thankful that I've been introduced to this fabulous product.

My hair gets greasy so quickly, and the majority of hair products only add to that problem, making my locks look grubby and weighed down. However this little gem leaves my hair feeling weightless, super-soft and free from residue and build-up.

You simply apply a small amount to your hands, then rub it into damp hair, making sure you concentrate on the lengths. It's a leave-in product, so once you've applied it you can dry and style your hair as normal. It may just be me, but I find using this actually speeds up drying time, so it's great when you're in a rush.

It has a mousse-like texture that comes out looking exactly like whipped cream, and the smell is absolutely divine - it has a vanilla-y scent that just reminds me of cream soda!

 

 

Formulated with a patented blend of antioxidants, proteins and vitamins, it nourishes and strengthens your hair from within, leaving it smooth and soft, whilst preventing static and frizz. It's suitable for all hair types, and as someone with very fine hair, I can confirm it won't make your hair feel heavy or stiff. I use it 2-3 times per week to 'top up' the benefits of my usual John Frieda conditioner, and I can definitely tell the difference in the manageability and softeness of my hair when I've used it.

You can currently buy milk_shake Conditioning Whipped Cream from beautybay for £10.76.
