[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This year, I’ve discovered some standout products that have become my favorites. Often, when working with a brand on paid collaborations, I tend to use the products for a longer period, and some of them have become essential in my routine. Two products that come to mind immediately are Murad’s Vita C Glycolic Brightening Serum and The Body Shop Ginger shampoo. I’ve found myself repurchasing these items. However, the products that have truly impressed me are the Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave In Treatment. This treatment has been so effective that it has replaced the need for a conditioner in my hair care routine. I mostly pair it with The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo or Heinrich Barth Fig Shampoo, both of which I absolutely adore due to their delightful scents.

Since incorporating this treatment into my regular routine, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the overall condition of my hair. Beyond the initial shine and softness post-blow dry, it has enhanced the texture, flexibility, and manageability of my hair. Aveda is offering a Christmas set for £24.50, which includes a 40ml shampoo, conditioner, and the 100ml Treatment. Considering the Treatment alone usually costs £28 for 100ml, this set provides exceptional value. The shampoo and conditioner in the set are also fantastic, but the Treatment has truly stood out for me. Originally priced at £46, this set is a great deal. You can find it here.

After trying The Body Shop Ginger shampoo, conditioner, and serum for a sponsored post, I have continued using them as they have become my staples. I can confidently say that I have not experienced dandruff or a flaky scalp since using these products. The shampoo cleanses effectively with a delightful spicy scent, priced at £7.50. The serum is recommended for those with itchy scalps, which I find to be a great occasional treatment. Central heating tends to exacerbate itchiness, but this duo has helped keep my scalp flake-free. Heinrich Barth Mykonos shampoo is another favorite of mine due to its long-lasting herby-fig fragrance. Though its formula is basic, the captivating scent elevates the cleansing experience. While it may be challenging to find on sale due to limited distribution, you can purchase a 250ml bottle for £21. Check it out here.

The Hot Tools Volumizer has been a game-changer for my hair styling routine, providing a salon-like finish every time I use it. I depend on it for a professional, polished look without fail. With my limited patience, this tool helps me achieve sleek, voluminous hair effortlessly. I typically use it in conjunction with my Dyson dryer, and the pull-through design, combined with adequate heat, creates a bouncy and shiny result in minutes. While not frequently on sale, you can find it here for £79.65.
