Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

The story behind Ojon was what first drew me to the brand (i love a good story). It’s of one those incredible backstories that only a few experience. Turns out, the products are pretty fabulous too. I have used Ojon Haircare on and off for a few years, after first coming across it on QVC.

The range is now somewhat wider and caters for a range of hair types. However, my must have item of the entire range is still the Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment. A delicious golden balm which melts in the palms and smells lusciously nutty. It is derived from the remote rainforest’s of Central America, where the Miskito People have been applying this ‘golden elixir’ to their hair skin for over 500 years.

100% natural, free from water and artificial colour, preservatives and silicones, this treatment has been a godsend for my often dry and damaged hair. Said to improve the condition of hair by 64% after just 1 use – i agree, this is not an exaggeration. My hair is instantly healthier in touch and appearance.

I use my tub of gold in various ways; as an overnight treatment combed in with a little wooden comb supplied, a quick 10 min conditioner at the gym, a tiny weeny amount to calm down frizzy hair days or rubbed into the ends when they are looking a bit rough. I also quite happily moisturise drier parts of my body with this treatment too; elbows and knees.

The range is stocked at QVC and John Lewis. £40 for a 150ml tub this baby isn’t cheap…but it IS incredible and addictive.

Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Range

When it comes to haircare products, i’m probably not that loyal. I constantly chop and change shampoo and conditioner, as i continue my quest to find something that nourishes my dry ends without weighing down roots that are prone to turning greasy.
The latest range i have tested is the new Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. I’m already a big Dove bodycare fan, but wasn’t sure what to expect from their hair products.

I have to say this range was sheer bliss to use, and to smell. It might not be the range that instantly springs to mind where hair is concerned, and it doesn’t come with a glamourous hair salon chain attached to it – but it most definitely delivers satisfying results.
My hair was charged with gloss and shine, strands were silky smooth and overall much more manageable than usual. For a change, there was no need for any GHD straightening, just a whizz of the hairdryer was enough.
For products that works so fantastically well, i’d love for the packaging to speak to same by being more chic and standout. I do however like the style of the Express Treatment Conditioner, which comes in a squeeze tube, maybe all the products should be this way? Don’t let your eyes gloss over this range on the supermarket shelves, give it a try.
