Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection - AD/PR

Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection


If you have been reading my blog for a long time, you'll know that I am a big fan of the Lee Stafford hair products and hair tools. So a few weeks ago when I received some products from the NEW Hair Growth Collection, I was really looking forward to trying them. 

The two products I received are the Hair Growth Activation Treatment and the Hair Growth Styling Treatment Cream, both are in the Lee Stafford bright pink packaging and both have the Lee Stafford signature scent. When trying products, sometimes I will ask family members to try them too so I can give a perspective of someone else who may have a different skin type as me or face shape etc, or in this case, hair type. And when I received the products, I knew just the person to try them out with me, my eldest daughter. 

We both have different hair types but also have similar hair concerns and issues, so I thought she was the perfect choice to give her opinion on the products too, and she loves trying new things so she was happy to help. 
 

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Activation Treatment £9.99

Vital hair and scalp complex helps reduce hair loss

Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection


The original Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment is an intensive hair saviour that is full of Pro-Growth complex, which conditions and strengthens from within. The soothing formula reduces irritation and moisturises the scalp, providing the perfect base to help hair grow faster. The new Hair Growth Treatment range has double the amount of Pro-Growth complex and plant-based proteins for longer, stronger hair. The Hair Growth Treatment helps to reduce hair loss by improving follicle health and in turn, increases the ability of the hair to anchor to the scalp. 


Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection


Both my daughter and I suffer from hair loss and we both have incredibly thin hair, my daughter's hair is bleached, so is on the dryer side but she does get oily roots sometimes too, my hair is dyed but with a tint, I don't have bleach on mine, my hair is very oily and not dry at all.

The Hair Growth Activation Treatment is easy to use after shampooing take an egg-size amount of product and apply to the hair from root to tip and leave for 5 minutes before rinsing. The treatment should be used every time your hair is washed until you see an improvement in the condition, and then once a week to maintain the condition of the hair. 

When we first tried the treatment, in all honesty, we didn't think it would do much, we thought it might be a gimmick, but I should have known better than to doubt a Lee Stafford product. From the first time using the treatment, we could both feel an improvement in our hair, it felt lovely and soft and did feel a little thicker. We continued to use it as advised and it has made such a difference to our hair, my daughter's hair condition has improved, it has grown and feels thicker, my hair feels soft and sleek and feels thicker too, we are both really happy with the result, so much so, we stocked up on some more!


Lee Stafford Styling Treatment Cream £8.49


Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection


A multi-tasking Hair Growth Protein Cream that styles whilst repairing hair from the inside out. Grow it Long, Grow it Strong. Created for hair that won’t grow past a certain length. Now with double the amount of PRO-GROWTH™ complex, containing plant-based Lupine Seed Protein, to protect from damage and breakage.                                               
 Lightweight Styling 
Heavyweight Strengthening 
Rebuilding 
Encourages Growth 
Moisturising

The Hair Growth Styling Treatment Cream is an intensive leave-in treatment that makes hair look better, feel better and grow better, it is a strengthening treatment that also doubles up as a smoothing styler that reduces split ends and smooths hair and calms frizz leaving the hair sleek and hydrated. 

The styling cream is used after the hair has been washed and towel-dried, using a pea-sized amount (or more if you wish) distribute the cream through the hair from the roots to the ends, do not rinse and style as normal. 

The styling cream left both mine and my daughter's hair feeling very soft and looking sleek and shiny, which is nice as blonde hair doesn't always look shiny. Since we've been in lockdown, then local lockdowns, tiers and whatnot, our hair hasn't been cut and coloured as it usually would, mine has been cut once in the last 11 months and my daughters 3 times, and as a result, we both have split ends. The cream definitely makes the split ends look much better, and our hair feels lovely, I don't have those annoying flyaway strands on the top of my head which drive me mad and my daughter's hair feels lovely, not dry at all and no frizz in sight. 


Overall Thoughts.

Lee Stafford NEW Hair Growth Collection


Both my daughter and I thought the packaging of both products was nice, we both love pink so it's a win-win, both products have the Lee Stafford signature scent and are both easy to open and use. 

Our hair definitely feels fuller and my daughter has noticed hers has grown a considerable amount considering the time frame of using the products, I stupidly didn't check where my hair was in terms of length, and 99% of the time I wear my hair up so I can't comment on growth but it is long and my family all say they think it's grown when they dry it for me. 

Both products leave our hair feeling soft and silky and looking smooth, the leave-in treatment really helps with split ends and our hair looks lovely and shiny too. We used the treatment each time we washed our hair at first but now we use it once a week as advised, it feels nice when it's on the hair, and my daughter said it is easy to distribute through the hair and easy to rinse out, and for those who may need someone to wash their hair like I do, she said it is easy to apply, use and rinse out of my hair too. 

We both love both products and they do both do exactly what it says on the tin, the only negative we could find is that if we use both products together, our roots do go oily quickly, mine more so than my daughters. That is something that is easily rectified though and now we don't use the leave-in treatment when we have used the Growth Activation Treatment and we don't have oily roots. Usually, if I use leave-in hair treatments, my hair does go oily quickly, especially at the roots, but it hasn't done with this product and other Lee Stafford leave-in treatments I've used in the past too to be fair. 

Overall we both love both products, both do what they claim and make our pandemic hair look much and feel much better than it did, whats not to like? It's a 10 out of 10 from both of us. 

If you would like to try the Hair Growth Activation Treatment or the Hair Growth Styling Treatment Cream, you can find them, and all the other products in the NEW Hair Growth range on the Lee Stafford website, here.

Long Time No See





Where to start?


I never meant to take a break from blogging, it just happened in line with things happening in my life really and before I knew it, months had gone by. I had always planned to come back but with so much going on, it just wasn't the time, but in hindsight, I should have come back a lot sooner, it would have helped. 

My blog has always been an escape for me, an escape from real life, somewhere I can be Zoë and not "poorly Zoë" or someone people feel sorry for, I do have a lot of health problems going on, some extremely serious, all serious and all that have crippling side effects, but I am still me, I'm still in there somewhere and when I'm able, I like to escape, talk to my laptop (I use voice dictation) about things I'm enjoying and take me away from the reality of my life for a little while.  

So I decided now is a good a time as any to come back, and especially after recently and also earlier in the year, having some new diagnosis to deal with that knocked me for six. I thought that since blogging was something I enjoyed, plus I needed that escapism more than ever, so here I am. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been sat wallowing in self-pity for months, but usually, I am quite good at getting on with things, but this year I haven't been the same and things have had an effect on me. But, I'm here now and shall escape and chat to you all once more, and if you are new here, beware, I'm a chatterbox, talking is the one thing I'm good at so apologies in advance for the, shall we say, in-depth blog posts.

I was going to touch on the year so far, but I think we can all agree, 2020 has been downright rubbish, and nobody wants a War & Peace style blog post about what's been happening with me and mine. 


Moving Forward

So, here I am, and now what?

I'm going to carry on blogging as before, and I'm also going to go back to some of my old school blogging days too. 

I will also be sharing some Christmas gift ideas with you, this year I have chosen some new and small businesses to support as well as some established ones.  

To be honest, I'm just pleased to be here, in my escapism, chatting away to my laptop again, and I hope you'll be pleased to see me here too.


  

Thank you for reading, let's do this.....

Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas From Lee Stafford

Christmas Gift Ideas From Lee Stafford



PR Gifted Products 


I like me, you have been a little (a lot) unorganised for Christmas this year and still have some last minute shopping to do, I may have the answer for you with some brilliant gift sets from Lee Stafford.  

If you are a regular or long time reader of my blog, you will have seen me talk about Lee Stafford products and tools many times.  I love his hair products and hair tools and it wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't feature a gift or gifts as part of my Christmas gift ideas, from Lee Stafford on my blog. 

I have two gift ideas for you today, both perfect for any hair care or beauty lover, or just as a treat for yourself, it's ok to treat ourselves once in a while isn't it? Especially after the busy few weeks that is Christmas.


Lee Stafford 5 Piece Ultimate Hair Mask Collection - £10.00

Christmas Gift Ideas From Lee Stafford

There are 5 hair masks in the gift set, each mask is slightly different and they all smell different. They contain a selection of carefully selected ingredients that target specific hair needs. These masks are ideal as a gift for someone, but they are also nice to treat yourself too. The masks included in the gift set are: 

  • Argan Oil Deep Nourishing Treatment Mask
  • Choco Locks Butter Cream Treatment Mask
  • Coco Loco Coconut Treatment Mask
  • Hair Growth Treatment Mask
  • Thirsty Hair Mucho Moisture Treatment Mask                             

The mask set is a great gift idea, it's always nice to treat ourselves to a pamper once in a while
and a hair mask is ideal for that, and who doesn't want great looking and feeling hair for Christmas.

Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde, Lifes Better Blonde Washbag Gift -£14.00
Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas From Lee Stafford






















Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas From Lee Stafford

The lifes better blonde gift set is a great set, it contains 2 full sized products and I love how it comes with a wash bag, you can never have too many washbags right? I am already a lover of the Lee Stafford Ice White shampoo and Bleach Blondes conditioner so I knew I'd love this gift set. 

If you are blonde but don't have bleached hair, don't be put off by the name of the products, I don't have bleached hair, I do have it tinted but I don't have it bleached so if you are blonde but not bleached blonde, this set is still for you, the products tone and refresh blonde hair and leave it looking lovely, my hair, being blonde, isn't really shiny, but it is if I use these products. 

They are really great products and I have spoken about them on my blog previously and have many posts featuring Lee Stafford products also. This set is really good and if you bought the shampoo and conditioner without the bag, it would cost £13.98, so for just 2 pence, you're getting a wash bag, it's a win win and a great gift idea for the blondes in your life, or for yourself.


I really like both gift ideas and whether you want to buy them as a last minute gift for someone or you buy them for yourself, you won't regret it. 

If you are last minute shopping on the high street, you can find both gift sets in Boots and if you want to treat yourself but can wait, you can grab them on the Lee Stafford website. 


Have you tried any Lee Stafford products or tools? And if so, which is your favourite?

Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü

Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From Men-ü

PR Gifted Products


I don't know about you, but I always struggle when it comes to buying Christmas gifts for the men in our family, or any gifts for the men in our family for that matter. 

That was until I received some male grooming products from men-ü, and as soon as I opened the parcel I thought all the products looked brilliant and couldn't wait to show them to my partner to see what he thought too. My partner has been trying the products out for me and today I'm going to tell you a bit about the products and share my partner's thoughts too. 

About men-ü

The company founder of Men-ü, Graham Fish has had 40 successful years in the beauty industry and his background includes building businesses and selling them in Europe and several countries all over the world. He also worked with venture capitalists, including 3i. Brands include Tresemme, VO5, Indola and more recently Philip Kingsley. 

Graham strongly believed men’s grooming products and services could be much improved and that men were prepared to pay for quality, as they do with cars, fashion, entertainment etc. In 2001 men-ü was founded and is today one of the top professional, men’s grooming brands. It is a revolutionary line of high performance, ultra concentrate products – a little goes a long way. Concentrated formulae facilitate the use of a high percentage of the finest ingredients and the secret is to get them to where they are needed, without waste. The products fit neatly in the hand and into a man’s lifestyle, bathroom, sports or travel bag.

In 2019, men-ü launched 3R Grooming – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Cost efficient refills are available for the full range of ultra concentrate 100ml and 500ml products with pumps. 


men-ü Selection Box Grooming Essentials Gift Set - £24.95 (worth £38.40)


Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü

The men-ü grooming essentials gift set has a great range of products, everything from shower gel to moisturiser. My partner has been my guinea pig when it came to trying the men-ü products for this post, and one of the first things he said was that he really liked the way the products tell you how many applications you will get from each product. Another thing he liked about the gift set is the range of products it includes.

The products included are:

Black Pepper & Bergamot Shower Gel - 100ml
Shave Crème buddy tube - 15ml
Healthy Facial Wash buddy tube - 15ml
Matt ‘Skin Refresh’ Gel buddy tube - 15ml
Facial Moisturiser Lift buddy tube - 15ml
Matt Moisturiser buddy tube - 15ml
3 Minute D-TOX buddy tube - 15ml
Liquifflex buddy tube - 15ml

On the back of the box, there are photographs of each product included and a little bit of info about each product too, another very helpful bit of information is that every product shown on the back of the box has the number of applications in the bottle/tube. 


Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü


The gift set would be ideal for anyone wanting to try men-ü products for the first time or for someone who goes to the gym, and it would be perfect for travelling and with all the products being 100ml or under, they can be taken on to an aeroplane in your hand luggage if you are only carrying hand luggage with you. And if you have suitcases to check in, the products don't take up much room in a toiletry bag and for us would take up much less room as we would normally take full size toiletry products including shower gel, shaving cream, hair products and face wash amongst other things, so we would be saving so much space, win win.  


men-ü Shave Facial Trio - £29.95 (worth £38.85)


Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü
   
The men-ü Shave Facial Trio is a set that contains everything needed for a wet shave.

The products included are: 

Facial Moisturiser 100ml
Shave Crème 100ml
Healthy Facial Wash 100ml
Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü
As with the selection box gift set, on the back of the shave trio box are images of all 3 products, a bit of info on each product and how many applications are in each product too. My partner has been using the Shave Facial Trio for quite a while now and he loves it, when I asked why he loves it, he said he uses much less product than the shaving foam he usually uses, and his skin feels soft and not sore at all after using all 3 products. Usually, when he has a wet shave he ends up with sore spots on his neck and his jawline, but he hasn't had anything like that at all since using the men-ü products. 
men-ü Refill Kit | Year Of Shaving | Shave Creme - £19.95


Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü


Mens Christmas Gift Ideas From men-ü

Another great gift idea is the Year Of Shaving set,  in this set two shaving cremes, each 100ml bottle has 165 applications in it giving you a whole year of shaving cream, for less than £20.00, I know my partner definitely spends more than £20.00 per year on his usual shave foam/creme. The set comes with one bottle with a pump dispenser and a refill that you can put your pump dispenser into once you have run out. 

Both products are 100ml meaning that you can take them onto an aeroplane in a carry on or put in your case in the hold, the size of the shaving creme is much better than a can of shaving creme and takes up much less space when travelling. 


My partner has been so impressed with all the products from men-ü and we will 100% be repurchasing all the items shown today, and when I asked if he would recommend the products and which were his favourite, he said he would highly recommend all the products because he really likes them all and his favourite product is the men-ü shave set because his face isn't sore at all after shaving and it usually would be. 

Overall the products are all really good products and a reasonable price for the ingredients used and the packaging is nice too which may not be important for some but I personally do look at the packaging of products, and the fact the packaging is recyclable too which is brilliant and something we are much more conscious about lately. 

If you would like to find out more information about men-ü or their products or if you want to purchase anything, check out their website. 


Do you struggle to buy the males in your family gifts? And have you or your male friends and relations tried anything from men-ü?
