LUSH Review! Hair Doctor solid hair and scalp treatment.

Ok so as I said in a previous post, I've had a lot of life stuff going on for a few months. As a result my scalp has freaked the flip out! It's become everything I don't want, flaky, sore and the worst part, itchy!

I've been trying so many  different things, different hair masks, different shampoo (lush or otherwise). Back in december I was kindly gifted this brand new treatment but Lex for my birthday. I've always sworn by Hair Doctor. It was always one of my favourite fresh masks that lush sold. If I'd had a bad scalp in the past then that treatment is where I'd head to time and time again.

Then it was gone, sent for retesting, it was gone for months. Then one day it re-ermegered  fresh and new, only to be removed two weeks later.

So imagine my delight when I was given this brand new way of using hair doctor. As if I blamed the product for leaving  it lingered in my box of hair products

Until my scalp hated me so much that I dug it out. Boy, am I glad I did!

This hit treatment works just like the tangled, damaged and kinky hot oil treatments.

Step 1. Pop it in a mug

Step 2. Add hot water

Step 3. Mix

Step 4. Leave for 5 minutes

Step 5. Mix and apply.

I have to say this hair mask applied so well, with the old one it quite often had a jelly like quality which could be hard to  stick to the hair and it would sometimes ball up and fall off. I just used to persevere because I loved it so much. 

The texture is fairly smooth, my partner and I joked that it looked like super thick gravy. One of the only things I didn't like was that the seaweed on top wasn't  super pleasant once I popped it on, it wasn't great on the wash out either as I kept finding little bits in my hair. 

This product washed out fairly easily and I have to say the itching stopped for the rest of the night! It wasn't until mid morning when it started to cheep back in. In spite of being itchy, my scalp had calmed down a lot with no new breakouts or redness. Just left calm dry skin. That, I can deal with! 

This hair treatment has a lovely earthy minty scent which feels as if it's really doing you some good! 

If you've tried this treatment or any lush treatments, I'd love to know your thoughts and favourites!

'David Bowie and I' Exhibition 2017

It's been a while since I've posted. I have many things to update you on but I'll save that for another post. 

Before I get into all that, I want to share some pictures from The 'David and I' exhibition.  This exhibition was created by the wonderful people at the Off Beat lounge and features a range of photographs taken by Denis O'Regan on tour with David Bowie throughout the 80's and the early 90's. 

Candid photography is one of my favourite forms of art, it takes an extraordinary eye to do it. It's not just about being in the right place at the right time (although it helps) but also about having the talent of quickly judging composition and taking chances when you get them. It's about being gutsy and not pandering to the subjects wants. It's knowing that the negative spaces can shout the loudest. 

I'll leave you to the photographs now, my apologies for all the fluorescent lighting bouncing off the glass. Hopefully you'll be able to still get a sense and a feel for these wonderful art pieces.
