Best Of 2014 - Hair

Hi Guys, I hope you are all having a fantastic week I know I'm just happy to have a day off today. Today I am following on with my Best Of 2014 series and giving a shout to my favourite Hair products and tools of the year. I love it when something new comes out the hair world especially if its designed to make it safer, easier and quicker. I always try and take extremely good care of my hair I just can't imagine not having the length I have achieved therefore I'm constantly on hunt for something to increase the strength and vitality of my locks. I hope you enjoy this post and that the ongoing series is informative and encourages you to try out some of these amazing items. xx 

1. Aussie - Aussie has been a household name for me for several years I think that pretty much all of the products are fantastic especially for someone that lives an active lifestyle as the give a really good clean but they are quite rich therefore work better for oilier hair types. One of the first products I used in the range was the 3 minute miracle all the formula's are great I find the one that works best for me is the Luscious Long deep treatment as its is special formulated to not weight your roots down allowing long hair to be swished.
2. Babyliss - I have been growing y hair for several year now and I find that because all of the dye and damage has finally gone that my hair is harder to style up until now I would just straighten my hair (my natural is very curly) for special occasions now I have the option for any type of curl. I find these hot rollers are easy to use come with a good selection of sizes although I personally would choose not to have the tiny ones and it allows you to hair more time to spend on other things whilst they set. I would recommend this brand for anyone that is looking for easy flawless waves and curls.
3. Ojon - I discovered rare blend a few years ago and forgot about it until I came across an old bottle when moving earlier this year. This oil is a blend of several different types of oils and natural ingredients from around the world with different properties for smoothing, hydrating adding shine and much more, the best thing about this beauty is it smells amazing and you only need the a little drop. I always reach for this or my next must have when my hair it wet to give shine and smoothness.
4. Moroccanoil - Of course the infamous Moroccanoil made my list as with the previous product from Ojon this oil is fantastic for adding moisture, silkiness and shine to the hair. The difference between the two for myself is that I find the Ojon product works best on wet hair and it absorbs slightly slower and has a drier texture whereas the Morroccanoil is great for styling and taming any fly aways after the hair is dry. I love both of these product and think one or the other is essential for hair growth and nourishment. 
5. Tresemmé - I usually don't use Tresemmé products as with my hair being naturally curly I find that they are weighty and make my hair look flat and greasy however that is a completely different story for the 7 Day Smooth system is one of my most used hair product of the year. I would never have tried this product out if I hadn't have been looking into a brazilian blow dry and a sample of the 7 day smooth came in the mail. This has made styling my unruly locks such a dream and really makes such a difference to the quality of the style once finished, it really does allow you to have salon perfect hair at home. If you have not tried this you need to honestly it was my best purchase of 2014.
6. Tangle Teezer - As always my Tangle Teezer has made it into my favourites list again. These brushes are revolutionary in the world of hair brushes. I find brushing my hair is a much more enjoyable when I'm using a Tangle Teezer it helps reduce the amount of breakage and allows for tough knots to be managed quick and painless. I just hope that this year they find away to put this design into a round brush as this would be amazing for a blow dry.
7. Scrunchies - Once I started my hair growth journey I reintroduced the scrunchie back into my everyday use. I believe that not using heat of your hair giving it the right nourishment and protecting it in safe hair style  (e.g a bun with a scrunchie) is the fastest way to grow your hair. I know it does sound like a pain but even just switching from a regular hair tie to a soft velvet scrunchie will make all the difference. I can't use any other hair again after seeing that for myself.
8. Lee Stafford - Along side of the tips in the scrunchies option I used the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment and spray to help kick start my hair growing. They are the best hair growth products on the market in my opinion (i have tried a lot) as they really do work, they are designed not only to grow your hair at a healthier and faster rate but to help it exceed the growth stop point growing on its own will have plus its scent is beautiful. My hair went from being a shoulder length bob to below the centre of my back in approx 2-2 1/2 years which would normally have taken my hair at least twice that. My longer hair gives me confidence and inspiration and I am so glad I stumbled upon this range.
9. Ghd - Ghd have stepped up there game this year with not one but several great new products on the market one of them being the Aura Professional Hairdryer it has a 42% more concentrated flow of air giving you complete control over the angle and direction of which you dry plus it has been made super light and much quieter than any other professional drier I have used. This tool is fantastic for anyone that has frizzy and thick hair as instead of all you hair flying about when you drying the air is directed just on the piece on your brush. I love this product and can't wait to get my hands on one of my very own this year as I was completely sold with just having used to style my hair.
