Being super cheeky today, I am blogging at work!! (Best be sneaky!) So... If you have been following my blog updates on my hair growth and hair care then you would know that I have been using the Lee Stafford Hair Growth treatment products, I had a ritual for while I was growing my hair. I vowed I wouldn't use any heat products on my hair i.e Straighteners, hair dryer, curlers etc, and this already improved the condition of my hair straight away. I used the Lee Stafford products every time I washed my hair, it made my hair feel and look so much better, as it was super brittle and horrible!
TIMES HAVE CHANGED...
I have now stopped using the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment as I have now reached my desired hair length (just below my shoulders its not too long and not too short, and still easy to tie up!) and now I am onto retaining and maintaining my natural blonde hair! I often have many urges to experiment my hair with semi-permanent dyes, but this can also really damage your hair condition but as well as the pigment of your hair, especially with blonde hair like mine! I found that once I had dyed my hair electric blue back in December, I was left with a pale pigmented blue tone on the top layer of my hair, and slowly began to get annoyed with the colour of my hair! So I began experimenting...
I first began to decide to bleach my hair, yes I was going to strip my hair of the horrible tone my hair had gone... BUT, I spoke to my hairdresser and she absolutely refused to put bleach anywhere near my hair as it would take away my natural light blonde hair! So we had a chat about what I could do... We made a shampoo mix for my hair to a) maintain a good healthy condition and b) remove the top layer of blue tone on my hair. What did we use? We used a mixture of ; Johnson's Baby Camomile Shampoo & Conditioner (yes we used the conditioner in the shampoo!), John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo, and Lemon Juice. Lemon Juice and Camomile are natural ingredients used to strip your hair, without the effect and damages of bleach! Yes it has taken a while, and I am no longer use my shampoo 'potion' for my hair, but now using the John Frieda Sheer Blonde 'Go Blonder' range products. The the shampoo and conditioner are a thick yellow substance, and have a beautiful smell! I always use more then the recommended amount I usually use a large
handful of both for my hair, and massage the products thoroughly into my hair and onto my scalp. I wash the products out of my hair with Cold water and this gives your have a nice sheen look once dried. I find with using these lovely products is that your hair, just like the Lee Stafford products give your hair a lovely silky feel! I love my hair feeling good! Again, with the Go Blonder Products there is no bleach contained in the products, so again no risk of damaging your hair! Fantastic!! I have noticed my hair slowly going back to its normal colour, still a long way to go but its getting there slowly!
I originally bought the Go Blonder Products from Boots at £4 each (£8 in total) but I made the magic discovery that Amazon does a monthly scheduled delivery and it turned out cheaper! I now get 2 bottles of Shampoo and Conditioner every month for an amazing £3.60 a bottle, in total adding up to £14.40, and for the same amount (2 shampoo's and 2 conditioners) from Boots was £16 and Waitrose was an astonishing £28 for the 4 bottles! So if you are like me and cannot resist a free bargain, and your products delivered to your door, then Subscribe upto the Amazon deal!
Much Love and I shall be catching up on my blogging as I have a big haul coming up in the next week or sol!

| Before... |
On the 23rd of August 2012, I made the drastic move of cutting my hair from below my shoulders, into a pixie cut - the image on the right. And since November I have been growing my hair back out, with the help of my Lee Stafford Hair Treatment products. I use the Shampoo, Conditioner and the actual treatment product 'for hair that never grows past a certain length' (you can see my review of these products here). I am now into my third month with using these products and I have noticed some huge changes!
Below you can see an image of my hair taken today. (Warning, no make-up - Sunday's are make-up free days!)

| February 2013 |
The general health of myhair is probably the most obvious change! Before using the Lee Stafford products my hair felt brittle and very broken, but now my hair feels soft everyday, and I have next to know split ends in my hair. My aim is to get my hair back to the length I used to have before I trimmed my hair in January 2012 which was about boob length! Right now, I am super pleased with how much my hair has grown and the improvement of my general hair health! I will definitely be continuing to use LS products in the future!

Today's product review is going to be about the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment Products; what I think about them, how they work, what they are for, and my ranking out of 10.
I have been using this product for about a month now, I am on my second tub of the "Treatment for Hair that Never Grows Past a Certain Length' , they company recommend that you use the Shampoo and Conditioner from this collection to get the desired results you want. The Lee Stafford Collection all together is about giving the all the nutrients and protein to your hair which it needs to be healthy and well cared for. When I began using this product I felt an immediate effect on how well nourished my hair was straight away. My hair felt a lot smoother and didn't feel so brittle as it did before using the product. You use the tub treatment in between washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner; the directions on the back of the tub recommend you leave the product on for 5 minutes, however I leave mine on for 10 minutes to make sure my hair is well nourished; You then just rinse the product out and then apply your conditioner.
The only real negatives I have about this product is that I believe that it has been mislabelled and maybe giving a false claim that it will make you have hair like Rapunzel in a short space of time. This product is generally about giving your hair the protein and nutrients it needs to help your hair become healthy, only if your hair is healthy will your hair grow a far bit. The other negative of this product is that it does make your hair greasy after about 2 days or so, (if you wash your hair every other day like me this doesn't become too much of an issue, however it can be irritating!).
The price of each is on the dearer end of the market, I wouldn't say that it is the most expensive hair product I have seen, but for 1 tub of the treatment (in Boots) it is currently at £7.99 and with the Shampoo and Conditioner both costing £6.99 each. Sometimes Boots have an offer on these products such as 3 for 2 or 3 for £12, which usually works out a lot more cost effective (and when I usually buy in bulk to make sure I don't miss out on saving my money!)
I do find this product to help my hair and honestly since cutting my hair very short back in the summer, I have noticed a nice healthy growth in my hair but also in the general appearance of my hair.
I would mark this product 8/10 and would definitely recommend it and I will keep using this product until I become unhappy or find another product I have more interest in!
