MARK HILL HAIR HAUL


You may or may not have seen that award winning hairdresser Mark Hill has relaunched his hair care range in the UK and by accident I ended with the whole range in my basket plus his new straighteners! Whoops! But tell me, who can resist that amazing cocktail inspired packaging? Clearly not me!




I bought the XL volume amplifying shampoo and conditioner to start building more bounce and volume to my hair. I'm really enjoying using them and they don't leave any feel of residue on the hair.


Styling wise, I picked up the XL volume serum, extreme root lift, styling primer and wonder spray 10 in 1. My hair is very fine and soft and lacks in volume so these products really appealed to my hair concerns. One thing I really like about the range is that they all have the same scent, with using so many products the last thing I want is conflicting aromas all going on! My favourite products in this collection are the extreme root lift and the primer. My hair is super soft which is so annoying because it means I can't do anything with it and it often gets quite stat-icky but the primer gives the hair more control and a feel of grit to it so it feels like you could actually style it. And the root lift spray is brilliant it definitely gives lift and lightweight hold as well.

 I also bought the salon result straighteners which are dubbed as 'top of their class' and contain Moroccan argan oil ceramic plates. I also learned that the people who make GHD's also make these straighteners and I think it is very evident as they are really good quality. They are £85 at full price but it's worth keeping your eye out for offers as I got them on a half price promotion! They glide through the hair really easy and these days I actually use straighteners more for curling the hair (a contradiction I know!) but I can say they work really well for this. I like that they have a slide-able lock so once you have used them you can press the plates together and slide the lock across to secure them closed together.

The only thing I found a bit odd, and this is probably due to this lock facility, is that that don't come with a heat proof or mat. I do prefer to leave my straighteners wrapped in these bags and in between sectioning the hair it's nice to be able to place them down on a heat proof mat before moving onto the next section. Fortunately I have kept my old heat proof bag from my last pair of straighteners but I wanted to get you a heads up if that's something you like to use also.

I was never really a fan of the Mark Hill range but since the products have had a makeover and have been reformulated, they've gained a new fan. I'm really enjoying using the products and playing with different styles. Top marks! Here's a link to the whole range.

Have you tried them? What did you think? What's your desert island hair product?

Until next time, Steph x 




This is not a paid for or sponsored post (although given how much I bought it probably should have been!) just me going on a spending spree and telling you my thoughts about my haul.
