{ Favourite } Tresemme Heat Defence Spray

Tresemme Heat Defence Spray

I recently received a bottle of the Tresemme Heat Defence Spray to review. This is actually a product I already use and love, which makes it a great one to share with you! I am not really sure why I have not shared it before now.

Tresemme Heat Defence Spray

If like me, you heat style your hair often, then I hope you are using a product to protect your hair against damage caused by using a hairdryer, flat-iron or curling tongs! The best solution, naturally, would be to stop heat styling your hair but we all know that is not going to happen! 😉

Tresemme Heat Defence Spray

The Tresemme Heat Defence Spray comes in a plastic bottle with a handy pump, spray nozzle. To use simply release the lock on the spray mechanism and spray liberally on damp hair before blow-drying or on dry hair, before curling or using a flat-iron.

This product is recommended for all hair types but it is particularly effective on fine hair, like mine, which tends to be “fly-away”. It smooths down your hair, preventing it from frizzing and leaves it looking shiny and soft.

The Tresemme Heat Defence spray protects your hair up to 230°C and the moisture-locking vitamin complex helps prevent hair becoming brittle and dull; with continued use it can prevent up to 82% less breakage.

I have used quite a few other brands of heat protection spray but I always seem to come back to the Tresemme one, mostly because I find it as, if not more effective than many of the other brands on the market but at half the price. I also prefer the type of spray nozzle on this product. You get better and more even coverage when spraying onto your hair, as opposed to a great deal of the other sprays, which have an aerosol type nozzle. This spray does not leave your hair feeling sticky or weighed down and is definitely a firm favourite of mine!

As well as the regular 300ml the Tresemme Heat Defence Spray, also comes in a smaller, 100ml, bottle which is the perfect travel size. Recommended Retail Price R79.99 for 300ml Clicks Stores.

Hairstyle Trends The Up-Do

We are loving the Up-Do at the moment, whether its sleek and slicked back or messy and natural, with a centre or side parting the classic up-do, is in! So if it’s a classic ballerina bun, a tousled casual style, soft and femine or a volumised twist you are going for, it’s all good and bang on trend! I have selected a few of my favourite celebrity up-do hairstyle trends.

Hairstyle Trends 2012

Hairstyle trends for 2012 are definitely going in a more minimalist direction, looks vary from sleek, slicked back styles, side braids, french pleats (chignons) to groomed and styled ponytails. My favourite is the ponytail. They have made a big come back recently, you will find this style everywhere – on the high-street, the catwalk and even on the red carpet. Slicked back or pulled to one side,  there are high ponytails, low ponytails – you can even add a bow if you are feeling adventurous! Mostly the look is simple, sleek and polished, with fresh clear skin to compliment the look.

I picked a few of my favourite A-list styles to share with you, for some celebrity inspiration.

I thought I would include a few photographs of my own home-styled ponytails – a high ponytail and a side ponytail.

Personally I love these styles, they really have such an elegance about them, so what is your favourite style for 2012?

Other trends that are gaining popularity in 2012, are styles like the 60’s inspired, voluminous beehive but that is a topic for another post!
