So here is my first empties video, containing only hair products. I tend to use these kind of products up faster than anything else, so here they are empty... or very nearly empty anyway.
Moroccan oil moisture repair shampoo and conditioner
Moroccan oil has recently been hyped about all over Blogs and Youtube video's by beauty guru's as the new 'miracle' treatment for damaged and dry hair. I was really looking forward to using these products after using the Moroccan oil treatment, however I found myself a bit disappointed with these two products. The shampoo is supposed to be a 'cleansing, fortifying formula that helps to rebuild damaged hair' as says on the bottle. However, yes I did feel the cleansing qualities but not so much the rebuilding of my damaged hair. Firstly the smell of the products I really like and the even though they are sulphate free the shampoo lathers really well and I could easily run a brush through my hair after using both the shampoo and conditioner (which is saying a lot). However my hair felt rather dry after using the shampoo but the conditioner did soften my hair and made it feel silky smooth, this however was probably down to the silicone in the products. Now that I have finished using them I can tell you that I don't feel much long term benefits from the products and therefore I am quite disappointed and my hair felt weighed down the whole time using them. At the price I paid at my hairdresser's which was just over £20 per bottle I feel a little bit ripped off. I really wouldn't recommend these in less you have money to burn (or wash down a drain in this case). Overall I would rate these a 6/10. I felt the oil treatment did so much more for my damaged hair and worth the high price tag. These... not so much.
Moroccan oil moisture intense hydrating mask
This product from the Moroccan oil range I did like. Again it has that lovely classic Moroccan oil smell but I could actually feel it work in my hair. My hair was silky soft after using it and texture is very thick but washes out very well, so no product residue is left. Again it has a lot of silicone and some of the worst such as dimethicone so my hair does feel coated and weighed down. The strength of my hair feels a bit better but no where near as much as I was hoping. I probably was expecting a lot from this product, considering the reputation and the price, however it did feel it was doing some good when being used. I feel as though my TIGI S-factor serious conditioner does just as well if not better and for about £10 cheaper and for more product I will defiantly be repurchasing it rather than the Moroccan oil one. Overall this product did not blow me away but was quite good. However for the price I don't feel its worth repurchasing again. I give it a 7/10.
S-factor diamond dreams shampoo and conditioner
Firstly this shampoo and conditioner claims to provide 'brilliant shine, ultra hydration, superior strength, antioxidant power and superior manageability' plus it smells like strawberries and cream. I really like this shampoo and conditioner as my hair feels very soft and radiant. It does feel as though my hair is kept in good condition long enough until my next visit the hairdressers (every 3 months) which is exactly what I want. This did generally what it said on the tin (the description is a little bit exaggerated) and for the price I paid I was very happy as I got it on offer on Amazon for £27.53 for both the shampoo and conditioner in salon size bottles of 750ml each. This has lasted me 9 months which is a bargain. This however is not a penetrative shampoo and conditioner so I didn't expect miracles. Overall I give this a 7.5/10

Aussie 3 minute miracle reconstructor deep conditioner
This deep conditioner I actually used on a daily basis as I personally think it is in between a conditioner and deep treatment. The smell is amazing as it smells like bubble gum and has a thick texture but is easy to wash out. My hair feels ridiculously soft and my tangle teezer just glides through my hair after using it. The price of this wonderful product is just £4.99 at boots (usually on offer for 3 for 2) however this doesn't feel penetrative so again I personally wouldn't expect miracles from this and I personally wouldn't use it as my deep treatment conditioner. Overall I give this a 7/10.
TRESemme thermal creations iron style and hold spray
As far as I know this product has received mixed reviews but I however LOVE IT! It claims to protect your hair but also add some hold. I use this on damp hair before I blow dry it (I tip my head upside down and give it a zap with the dryer) and afterwards my hair is full of volume! This also protects my hair well from the heat. This however doesn't last long (a couple of hours) but with a bit of hairspray its good to go all day. The only other cons of this product is that the spray pump provided in the bottle isn't very good at distributing the product evenly and the product itself can be a little sticky but once dry is fine. Overall I give this a product a 8/10.
I know this was a lengthy post but I hope you guys enjoyed my first empties blog post and gave you some insight into these products.
