AUSSIE SHAMPOO, CONDITIONERS & 3 MINUTE MIRACLE
Having previously worked at Superdrug for 2 years, I couldn't help but find that most of my wages earned was spent in the store itself. When you're in that mood to just mindshop (yes 'tis what I named it - when you pretend to work but actually check out the things you're most likely going to buy at the end of your shift). I found that working in the hair department was probably one of the worst times of my life. I tended to buy lots of L'Oréal Recital Preference or Feria hair dyes and ended up ruining my hair with so many products. Trust me, I used, gel, hairsprays, mousse, all types and kinds of hair dye in various colours, Sun-In, you name it! Not to mention, years of GHD straightening lead to the destruction of my once thick, beautiful healthy hair. For me, the solution to repair such terrible hair was essentially finding the right shampoo. 

The care for hair starts right at the very beginning in my opinion, so for me that's the washing. Shampoo is essential in my endless list of MUST-HAVE beauty products and with my damaged hair, I needed to find something that was gentle and would do the job. I tried various products and tested for at least four weeks before deciding whether or not it was worth it. Most shampoos ended up giving me dandruff which was a problem, and I found I kept shuffling between a new product and my old shampoo. Catastrophic. Every three months of so, I would have hair falling out followed my a shower of what looked like snow on my shoulders...

Eventually I was replenishing stock on the shelves and came across a new product that was initially exclusive to Superdrug called "Aussie". Being cynical as ever, I was reluctant to spend on a shampoo that was relatively new. However after a week or so the Aussie products were on offer, 2 for £5 and well... mindshopping led to temptation. Boy, was I surprised! I bought the shampoo and conditioner called "Smooth Mate" which is contains blue gumtree leaves and is AMAZING! It's a bit gooey in texture but the after effects on my hair made it feel incredibly soft. My hair felt new, smelled bubblegum nice and felt like a newborn baby's hair.It didn't take long before I fell addicted to these products and the 3 minute miracle conditioner was perfect for my damaged hair, and I must say 3 years down the line now and my hair still feels amazing! What's even better is the price! Most people would spend around £8 or more for a bottle of REDKEN shampoo and this is only £3.45 at Superdrug! You can purchase the product at www.superdrug.com and for more info check out www.aussiehair.com.
