MIZANI

Hello everyone, hope your having a lovely Sunday. So today's post is going to be on a few select items from the MIZANI hair range. For those who haven't heard of the MIZANI brand it is a range formulated specifically for those with curly/afro hair types. MIZANI is a premium brand within L'Oreal's professional products division and has designed a wide line from treatments, shampoos and conditioners, hair styling products and even relaxers. The most interesting thing for me is how it not only cares for the hair but the scalp to, I'm one of the many people out there who suffer with dry scalp and find it very hard to find a product that treats both my hair and scalp together.



MY STORY

In July 2014 I decided it was time to take control of my hair properly and stop using products that were not suited for my hair. To start off  I took a trip to my hair dressers looking for a change in terms of my hair style and decided to have a bit of a chop! I discovered the MIZANI range at my hair dressers when they had switched from using Kera Care to MIZANI, my stylist explained each product that was going to be used and why he was using it. When he had finished I felt like a million dollars! My hair was silky smooth, my scalp felt deeply conditioned without it looking greasy and sleek!! After leaving the hair dressers I began looking up the MIZANI range and discovered that the price of the products were pretty reasonable considering the quality. On my next visit to my hair dressers in October I brought two products to see how I got on using them at home. I then came to the conclusion there was no other products I had tried this far that was doing my hair justice other than this range, so I did a big spend and brought five more products from the MIZANI range. Considering the costs of the products I figured I'd help out others who are on the fence about purchasing as I was as well as those looking for something new to use. I hope this helps! Enjoy and feel free to leave comments below :) 


SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER


THERMASMOOTH SHAMPOO 250ml - £10.25
Description - a creamy conditioning shampoo, leaves hair feeling thoroughly cleansed, is enriched with there advanced C3 smoothing complex deposits coconut oil that helps moisturise and detangle dry and brittle hair.

THERMASMOOTH CONDITIONER 250ml - £10.25
Description - a luxurious cream conditioner again enriched with there advanced C3 smoothing complex which helps protect the hair's elasticity.

RATING
Definitely ticks all the boxes, they are both truly creamy and luxurious! An important key I have to mention also is the amount I use when using them. When I normally wash my hair I have to use a lot of shampoo and conditioner meaning a big handful, especially conditioner! I cant help it I just feel like using a little doesn't do its job. With these products I literally only used about the size of £2 coin in my hand and they both went such a long way so that is big thing for me as they will last a lot longer. Also they help in the process of getting my hair from curly to straight as the thermasmooth collection is a thermal straightening system that helps protect your hair from humidity which leaves you with frizz free results and is also long lasting.




MOISTURISING


ROSE H2O - £12.90
Description - contains natural derived oils also botanical originated extracts that help replenish hair leaving it feeling and looking soft and silky.

COMFIDERM - £8.75
Description - a luxurious scalp oil that conditions the hair and scalp.

RATING
Love these!!! These two products I tend to use after washing my hair, I also use these before blow drying my hair. These products in combination with the heat from my hair dryer helps them penetrate right to the scalp leaving it nice and conditioned. I also like to use these when my hairs starting to feel dull and my scalp is starting to feel dry. Again with these a little bit goes such a long way. When I use the rose H2O I separate my hair into two sections and apply about a 20p size to each side and that is really more than enough! For the comfiderm I section my hair into four and using the nozzle I apply it directly to scalp in three rows across the section.



STYLING


COCONUT SOUFFLE - £12.90
Description - a light moisturiser that weightlessly provides instant protection against environmental aggressors, also enriched with coconut, camellina and rice bran oils. It replenishes your hair which increases manageability and gives a beautiful shine.

THERMASMOOTH SHINE EXTENT - £12.90
Description - anti humidity and high shine spritz that helps to protect hair against humidity leaving it looking frizz free.

EDGE TAMING GEL - £9.55
Description - a transparent gel texture that can smooth and tame flyaways, it becomes a high hold gel once cooled leaving hair with a smooth and polished finish. It also protects fragile hair with anti-breakage cermide, jojoba and argan oils. It does not contain mineral oil or petrolatum.

RATING
It has taken me so long to find the perfect products to style my hair. I've gone through many of products that claim to protect your hair against heat which ended up leaving me with broken ends. I have tried many gels, waxes and heavy products that claim they will hold down my flyaways but haven't been strong enough to do so, as well as many 'light' moisturisers that turn out to be heavy and greasy. It really has been hard finding the right products for my hair but finally the heavens opened up and shone its light on these three beauties :D.



I use the coconut souffle first which smells divine! I use about a size of a 50p and spread through all of my hair with ease as its really light textured it doesn't leave my hair looking greasy at all. The thermasmooth shine extent is the perfect everyday heat protector it isn't heavy and it really does protect my hair, I had used a horrible heat protector before and it actually made the heat from my straightener singe my hair off at the front and back of my head so finding a good protector was important for me.

 Finally the edge taming gel is the bomb! The singed sections of hair have been tricky to help grow back and since using all these products and caring for my hair they have started to grow back beautifully. The last thing I want is for them to break again so I use the taming gel to hold them down when styling which makes the perfect combination to protect my hair with its has anti-breakage cermide.



OVERALL REVIEW

I AM IN LOVE! This range is absolutely amazing! I don't know how I've coped without it and I will be defiantly using this for a long time.
