Unscented

By Sarah London's Organic Hair Oil

We're sure we're not alone in admitting that we spend our early mornings armed with a hairdryer (and other hot hair styling tools…) Whether we're going for a straight or curly style, we're no strangers to using a little heat to tame our tresses at The Amazing Blog; and while our hair looks well groomed, we do struggle with the inevitability of dry and damaged ends. From this issue emerged a quest to bring the shine back, bringing vegan brand, By Sarah London, into the frame. They introduced their Organic Hair Oil to us, and this has been our newfound way of injecting some much need moisture, and we couldn't wait to share this with you all!

By Sarah London is a natural and organic brand, providing products that demonstrate full transparency concerning ingredient choices. From humble beginnings, this brand emerged when founders Sarah and Lauren took on the challenge of soothing Lauren's skin while recovering from leukaemia. Their plant-based goal has since developed into a full range of hair care, body care and skincare products that promote conscious living and natural wellbeing simultaneously.

We tried their Organic Hair Oil, a 98% organic and 100% natural product, without the use of artificial ingredients, essential oils or fragrance. Instead, this gem of a find contains Argan oil, sea buckthorn oil and Vitamin E, actively working to prevent thinning of your tresses, and preventing the split ends often associated with the use of heat treatment. Having used this for a few weeks, we can confirm our hair looks and feels both stronger and softer, and with a pretty and recyclable glass bottle - it looks great on any dressing table too. The oil is also unscented, and is a nice addition in the market of heavily fragrance hair oils. To use, add 1-2 drops to clean, damp hair before blow-drying - or, we were also pleased to discover, this oil can be used before air drying your hair (with no sticky residue - bonus!)

To bring the shine back to your hair, visit the By Sarah London website here, where you'll find the 20ml bottle available for £21.50, a little goes a long way!.

Wolf Hand Cream for Men

Jose's monday The girls at The Amazing Blog  are all laughing at me… they’re getting their own back on me for teasing them about all their lotions and potions in the office. I’m not really much of a skincare sort of guy but occasionally I do get dry hands and reach for the nearest tube of hand lotion on the desk. Whereby, I let out a shriek in disbelief as I’ve blindly applied some girlie highly fragranced cream all over my hands. Need I say any more? Enter Wolf Hand Cream for Men .

Wolf Hand Cream for Men is a small family business dedicated to providing men with those niche grooming products that women take for granted but for which men still have little or no choice but to use their wife's moisturising creams. First and foremost they see this as a hand cream for men who live life to the full; whether at work or at play, their hands are at the forefront of their activities. So, whether you’re a rugby player, rock climber, canoeist, tree-surgeon or fireman this hand cream is for you.

Now, at last, I have a tube on the desk of my very own (hands off girls!) Wolf Hand cream for Men is unscented, non-greasy in a clear tube with subtle branding. All I have to do is squeeze a small amount and rub in – great for the winter time. No horrible nasties (i.e. parabens) and is not tested on animals. RRP £5 for a 50ml tube – great value! You see the girls have taught me well.
