My Favourite products to use on my hair.


I love using different products on my hair and switching it up every so often but recently I have really been enjoying these products. I have had my short hair for 2 weeks now and these products have really helped me style my new hair cut :D

In the picture above you can see my hair spray.
This spray is from lidl and its a firm hold spray. Its not the best hair spray ever and using too much can make your hair crunchy but just a quick squirt helps my hair stay in place. You cant go wrong for a products thats under £1.

I love this product ^^^
Its the L'oreal studio silk and gloss hair straight cream. I have used so many heat protectors in the past and this one is by far my favourite. It helps protect my hair from heat and frizz so that alone is awesome but it's also handy for when your hair is dry to smooth over your hair to get rid of fly aways. I think this is about £3 in boots but it lasts ages.

This is another amazing product for the price (£1.60).
It's the boots own make leave in conditioner.
I used this a lot when my hair was long to help it stay healthy and also to detangle the mess.
I use it now to freshen up my hair when its a little old and oily and it does the job! Because my hair is very short at the back and I sleep on my back all night the back of my hair gets oily quicker than the rest of my hair so using this helps freshen my hair up between washes.

The moose in the picture above is from lidl. It's really cheap and works a treat!
I use this when my hair is dry before I start curling it with my straighteners (GHD thin ones). Using this gives my hair some body and also adds volume so I'm left with some bouncy big hair to curl. This moose works well on dry or wet hair but I find it's better when applied to dry hair because it eliminates fly aways.

The product in the picture above is from savers and I got it for £2.99 but I've also seen it in boots.
I love this product because when my hair is looking a bit limp the day after I have washed it this product adds oomf and also makes my hair look a lot more textured and powerful.


In the photo below you can see the 2 brushes I use on a daily basis.
The roller brush was from a pound shop for yes you guessed it, £1. I use this when blow drying my hair to add more volume on top and also use it to sort out the crown of my hair.
The rats tail comb in the picture was from Cyprus for 2 Euros but you can get them anywhere. I find it really good when parting my hair and also for when I back combe it to make it look even more volumised.
Rats tail comb's are awesome for short or long hair.


Hope I have helped and inspired you, Hannah x.

£10 Budget.

Hello guys so today I went charity shop shopping with my mother to a local town where I know there are brilliant charity shops. I didn't want to spend too much money because I am trying to save so I decided to set myself a £10 budget to prove to you guys and myself that you don't need to be rich to get new clothes for autumn/ winter. I also thought this would be an awesome idea so I could show you guys that it is worth looking in charity shops because you can get alot when under a budget.



I got this amazing coat for a BARGAIN £5!
It still had the tag on it so it has never been worn and its in amazing condition. This coat will come in handy for those cold autumnal days and will also look amazing with a massive colourful scarf.



I got this lovely navy cardigan with awesome detailed buttons for only £2.
This is a really light knit cardigan and plus it's in great condition so well worth the price. Im going to wear this to school a lot because its my school colour and it will also look awesome with a blouse for chilly autumn days.


And finally I got this bloody beautiful cream blouse for £1.75!
I had to get this because the see through pannels just did it for me. I also really liked the lovely pearl buttons because they add nice suttle detail.
This will look great with any cardie or jumper during autumn or winter don't you agree?


MY TOTAL SPEND WAS £8.75!
I was super happy because I was well under my £10 budget and still managed to get amazing items.
I hope I have inspired you guys to go and do a budget shop like I have and I hope I have proved to you that it is possible to get new clothes when you're skint.

Hope you enjoyed and don't forget you wont find anything unless you rummage and look for potential.
Thanks for reading. Hannah x

Weekly wants...

I LOVE doing 'weekly wants' posts because I love internet shopping. I'm obviously not going to get everything shown in this post (sadly) because I'm one of those people who seem to always want expensive stuff. Oh well I can dream, enjoy guys...

1. Beyond retro £15.
2. Mac cyber £13.50 (I need this lipstick).
3. Urban Outfitters £24.
4. Urban Outfitters £95!.

1. Ebay £25.
2. Beyond retro £22.
3. Urban Outfitters £85.
4. Patrick wolf T-shirt £15 (I love Patrick!)

Now it's got cold I've started looking for really nice jumpers and cardigans. All the beautiful ones are really expensive and there is no way I would spend £85 on a cardigan. I've now resorted to looking in vintage shops and charity shops in hope they will have lovely winter atire.

Hope I've inspired you and good luck winter shopping this year.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS POST.

MY NEW HAIR CUT!

Hey guys so I've wanted my hair cut like this for about 11 months now and I've finally got it cut.
I had it done in a salon and it took about 1 hour. If you want to go from long to short like I did I advise you look at photos online and take a while to think about the big change you want.
So hope you enjoy my new hairstyle photos (tell me what you think of it...)
