3 More Inches Pre Wash Treatment

 Long time no blog.

3 More Inches Pre Wash Treatment - the more budget friendly version of hair “saving” than the holy grail that is Olaplex No.3.

Olaplex will set you back about $50AU for 100ml. 3 More is approximately $60AU for 500ml. Bonza you say! Well yes it is significantly cheaper but you will use more of it in each session. Don’t get me wrong it is still more value for money though.

So it’s called a pre wash treatment but I’d describe it more as a repairing hair mask. And boy does it repair!! I still get my hair permanently straightened (see my previous post from yesteryear) and although I no longer use any heat, I do have the remnants of VERY bleached ends from my platinum/pink days. (Side note, if I didn’t, I should write about that. Some awesome products found). I digress. So when you get your hair permanently straightened it is extremely damaging if your hair has already been through any processing. This means my pre-bleached ends became brittle and squiggly to that point where you wonder if you’re better off just cutting them off. Buuuuut wait! This is where Olaplex or 3More come in to save the day. Both of these products have worked equally well to smooth out the dead bits to beautiful hair again. How does it work? I have no idea, nor the time to research it. But it works and for that I say thank you very much!

Now some side notes for both of these products... leave them on as long as you can. I’m talking overnight. That’s how you get the best outcome. Particularly for 3 More. You want to use it every couple months when your hair starts to get ratty. And hot tip... don’t be stingy with 3 More. It says to drench your hair. DRENCH IT. You may think it’s a waste of product or if you use less it will go further, but the product needs to be slathered on to work, and even though you’re pumping away and it looks like a lot on your hair, you’ll be surprised at how long it takes you to finish the bottle.

So the take home message is to drench your hair with it and leave it on overnight. Don’t worry it won’t get on your pillow.

For Aussie’s, 3 More is available at Mecca.

H'suan Wen Hua - Lush Hair Moisturiser

Cool so I'm sure you all know of Lush natural products.

This is the "H'suan Wen Hua" hair moisturiser.

It's not tooooo exy and it's not bad.

It's no kerastase masquintense, but it's pretty ok.

Only issue I have with this one is that it has a weird smell!! And the smell kind of lingers even after you have rinsed it, shampooed and re-conditioned. So that's somewhat of a problem. It smells kind of like what you would expect someone to say is an "oriental" smell. Haha sorry I say that extremely sarcastically.

How to describe it... Kind of spicey, little bit joss stick (traditonal incense - like what a temple smells like).

Anyway it's not the usual fruity or perfumey smell that you expect from your hair so be warned.

But again - the product is okay and the price is quite alright and if knowing it's all organic hand made blah blah does it for you - then give it a go.

James Brown Intensive Moisture Mask hair treatment

So firstly - sorry for using an image clearly from someone's website. Oops. It was the only one I could find (ok I didn't really look very hard).

So 'James Brown Intensive Moisture Mask'.

They have just started selling this at Priceline and it has a really well written blurb thing on the tube that makes it sound awesome. Blah blah something about working with the stars and having mastered hair and putting heaps of effort into it blah blah.

This product achieves less than a normal conditioner. It's rubbish so please don't waste your money.

Really.

Waste of money.
