Hair Care And Styling Routine | I Covet Thee

Hi guys so this video has been so so long in the making. I'Ve tried to film it like three or four times or it's not worked, it's been too long, it just hasn't haven't happened and it's been so so requested by all of you and i've been trying to do it. So i thought right. I will not let this defeat me. I will sit down today and i will film it, and so this is going to basically be my hair care and hair styling routine. So, basically, everything i put on my hair everything i do to it to make it end up. Looking like this, to begin with, when i wash my hair, i kind of tend to wash it now two or three times a week. I don't like to do it too often um, just because i don't want to damage my hair by you know, washing it too much um, and i find that, because i've got quite long hair, it doesn't need to be like washed every day and like it would Do i think if he has like a shorter hair, you can always get the dry shampoo out, give it a quick spray ready to go um? Yes, so i start off with um kind of brushing my hair through and for that i'll use the um tangle teaser, and this is so so great before i found this, i just i could not brush my hair. I used to have like matted back. That sounds really bad, but it just really really was like unbrushable. It was so so naughty um, but yeah. I bought one of these and literally, although it looks like they're not even that large the little bristles on it, it just brushes through everything so well. It gets takes quite a while for me to brush through with this, but it's so gentle. It doesn't like target, pull or damage anything or you know, rip the hair, um yeah, so so recommend getting one of those if you've got naughty hair like i have um, i usually put kind of like a pre shampooing hair mask on after that, and at the Moment i'm using the um charles worthington salon home moisture seal one. This is amazing. This is so so good. It'S a really strange sort of hair mask it's not one that i've really come across before it's basically like a thick sort of balm, almost like a cleansing. Balm, you know how it's quite solid before you put it on your face, and so you just grab kind of like a scoop of this. I tend to use sort of the size of um like a 50p, not too much. I just put on the ends, and you kind of melt in between your hands and just like really work into the hair and leave it on for about 20 minutes, and it just i don't know how it does it, but it moisturizes so well. It almost feels like you're putting a thick sort of oil on it. So obviously that's really deeply penetrating the hair and it smells amazing as well. It'S so so good um. Yes, i leave that on and then i'll shampoo it out don't tend to really stick to one regularly. I kind of buy something new every time i need a new one and at the moment, i'm kind of like rotating between three and different ones. So i've got the lush and big sea salt shampoo. This is really great. If you want real kind of volume and to your hair, it's a really funny sort of um consistency. It'S almost got like these little beads of salt in them kind of a really chunky. Big bits of salt and mixed in with the shampoo and you just sort of like massage it into the scalp. It'S really nice because it gives your scalp a bit of exfoliation as well and um yeah. It just leaves almost like this. This sort of residue in your hair, not in a bad way, almost like if you're, using a salt spray um, which just kind of cleans the hair and gives it a bit more kind of like um workability. So it can be more voluminous and doesn't just lay really flat. So i think that's a really great shampoo if you've got quite fine hair, so i'll use that kind of once a week and then, if my hair needs something really sort of moisturizing, if it's quite dry and stripped i'll use. The lee stafford um argan oil, shampoo conditioner - i have um used these for quite a while i've kind of repurchased them a lot um because they are just really really great shampoos. Actually, i've never felt um, my hair, so soft and so moisturizes as when i use this i've used kind of like the you know, the actual moroccano ones as well, and i i still think these are better and they just leave my hair so light and moisturized And shiny and kind of like weightless they're, just so brilliant if you've got dry and damaged hair. So, as you can probably see, i did recently dye um the tips of my hair. I sort of ombred it with a bit of bleach um, which left it so so damaged um, but to kind of keep that color in, i use the stafford beach blonde shampoo conditioner. Occasionally i tend to kind of just use a regular shampoo like i'll use. The lush one and then right on the ends after i've washed it out. I will just use this purple shampoo and it's great for kind of getting rid of like brassy tones and like the yellowness you can get when you bleach your hair and yeah. So i just use those like every now and then to keep up the color of my hair. So once i come out of the shower, i just tend to like rough dry, my hair with the towel. Let it sort of um dry on its own for a bit. Sometimes i don't even blow dry it i just sort of like let it do what it wants to do and dry naturally, and but i'll always put a bit of moroccan oil through it. So this is just the best. This is like the hair saviour, it's so so good. This is like saved. My dry ends um, so yeah just put a few pumps of that through the bottoms, maybe a little bit through the middle, depending on how dry it feels um when it's still wet and then i'll either. Let it dry naturally or sort of like blow dry, and it really helps to actually kind of um dry. It quicker as you're, not putting so much heat on your hair for so long um yeah. So if i am just letting it dry kind of naturally, that's all i put on it, but if i've decided to blow dry it because i want maybe a bit more volume or i want to be a bit straighter and there's a couple of products that i Like to put through it so i'll, either use the um bumble and bumble surf spray. If i want kind of like a messy sort of texture and something with a bit of like little kinks - and you know nothing like too big - and this is quite nice for just giving your hair - that real sort of like walked out of the scene and my Hair trying naturally kind of look um. Yes, i just spray that all through kind of like the middle bits, a little bit in the roots, to give it a bit of volume and just dry loosely with a hair, dryer um. If i want kind of like quite volumized, hair i'll use a mousse, and this is the ozone volume advanced mousse and i just kind of like just don't pump and massage it through the roots. I don't tend to put it through the rest of my hair because it can get a bit crispy, as you probably know, with mousses they're, not the nicest skinny products um, but i do find this really helps to give my my hair a bit of uh volume At the roots, just because it's quite long and it kind of gets way down really easy, because it's quite heavy now and yeah so i'll use that quite often um. And then, if i again, if i want sort of like a messy sort of texture, maybe something if i want to put my hair up the next day and i wanted to have a bit of hold and a bit of grit. I'Ll, put the bumble and bumble. Um, hair and dressing cream through it - and this is quite like it's quite a sticky sort of um texture to it. So you put it through and it feels quite sticky, but once you've blow-dried it. It kind of just makes the hair feel very thick and very full, and so it's a lot easier to work with. Yes i'll use that every now and then so under styling, and i never really seem to stick to the same hairstyle. I just tend to do whatever looks um right at the time, and i says my main kind of like hairstyle. I wear is just like loose messy sort of waves kind of brushed out like i have one today, and so what i usually do is i take my um rapture totem heat starter. This is a really great curling tone. You can do so. Many different looks with it there's kind of like three heat settings and you can make these barrels heat up to different temperatures, which makes the colors look different um. I tend to just leave it though, on them 333, which is, i think, the coolest setting or might be the hottest setting. I can't remember, but it just gives like a real nice loose wave so i'll pretty much like loosely curl. All of my hair. I won't like pin it up in sections or anything i'll, just like grab it wrap it around and leave it for a few seconds until it's warm and then release it. Sometimes i'll like get a little pin and just pin it up so that the curl holds it better. If i want more like defined colors um and then i just sort of like loosely run, my fingers through it sometimes i'll back comb upwards. So, instead of just going for the roots, i'll, take the background brush and start at the bottom and just sort of backcomb the curl out, because i find that kind of holds the curl better um. But it still gives it like lots of volume. Instead of like brushing it out, i also sometimes just leave it straight and back comb the roots out again, just to give it more volume. I think my main sort of like go-to hairstyle is literally just back combing. I tend to just backcomb it all until it looks good and yeah so for that i use this little sort of cheap brush. I got from ebay, it's literally just like a little bristle brush and it's just the best thing for back combing, um, yeah and then literally i'll just spray, some hairspray through it - and this is the tresemme salon - finish extra hold number four. This is like the only hairspray i've bought for the last like five years. I must have bought so so many cans of this, but it's just the best thing i found for my hair that really holds it and doesn't make it feel too crispy or too heavy um. I also sometimes use the tresemme texture, um divine definition, spray just to give it a bit more kind of like texture. If i want more of a messy look, this is really cool, it's kind of like a dry hairspray, so it feels a bit like dry shampoo, but it doesn't leave your hair looking gray and it just kind of like creates a bit more texture between the hair And yeah so sometimes i'll spray that in and just sort of like scrunch it around. So that is everything that i use guys. I hope that was informative for you. I'Ve had so so many questions about my hair. I hope that kind of answered them all well, if not just leave me a question below and i'm sure to answer it for you um yeah. So thanks for watching - and i will speak to you soon -
