Philip B...I take it all back!


So in my recent GlossyBox post, I said that I didn't think this Philip B Drop Dead Straightening Baume would be useful for me, and thought it would just make my hair sticky and greasy (after a horrific experience with some John Frieda Serum :s). However I used it yesterday and today after washing my hair and i'm pleasantly surprised. Now I didn't put any of it near my roots mostly because I needed to go out yesterday and didn't want to look like a Slick Rick! I used the product on about the last three inches of my hair (just as a side note, I have quite long hair) and then blowdried it and oh my gosh it made my hair so soft! I felt so lovely after having taken a battering in this horrendous weather we've been having it was so nice to have it feeling soft and smooth at the ends again. I wouldn't use it on my roots as I think my hair gets too greasy on top and this product definitely does create a sleek look to your hair. It's also paraben free which is good and as far as I can tell its unscented which is great because it doesn't mask your shampoo smell which is a pet peeve of mine about hair products!  Another good point is that a little goes a long way with this so if you were to buy the full size product which is £17 then I think you'd be getting value for money. Personally I wouldn't buy the full size as I think despite it being a nice product its not something my hair desperately needs but if you do struggle with dry or frizz prone hair I'd definitely recommend it!

  1. Finding nice hair products is such a difficult journey! It's taken me years, but I finally have a good combination on shampoos, conditioner and Frizz-Ease, which does work wonders for me. I've also had nice experiences with things from the brand Dark & Lovely. Though I couldn't be paler, I still seem to have all the problems they have the solution too haha;)

    1. Oh thank you for following me! Well i've only had one box but judging by other peoples reviews and thoughts I would say yes, especially if you like trying new products but don't want to spring for full size products just to see what they're like. I was really happy with my first box so i'm going to continue subscribing :) x
