Long Hair Problems List!

A bit of a short, random post today! I've been really busy, so although I have a lot of ideas and posts on the go, it's just getting around to finishing them that's the issue at the moment.

Although there are perks to having long hair, it's not all as good as it seems. Sometimes it gets so annoying that I'm tempted to chop it off in favour of a long bob! So here's my list of long hair problems:

1. It gets caught in everything. Car doors, watches, under handbag straps..

2. You have to tie it up when you eat unless you want to be finding food in your hair for the rest of the day.

3. You also have to tie it up during any "romantic fun time," your man being smothered by your hair is not sexy!

4. Although it keeps me warm in the winter, in the summer it is so hot. It's like wearing scarf.

5. Curling it is impossible! They stay in for a minute, then gravity takes hold.

6. Wind!! Be prepared to gag on your hair.

7. When it gets stuck in lipgloss/lipstick. Ew.

8. Hair, just everywhere. Everyone moans at you because it's all over the place, and every time you wash it you have to hoover up!

9. It gets so knotty, brushing it when it's wet takes forever, and so does drying it!

Although having long hair is a pain in the arse sometimes, part of me does love it, and I like how it's swishy!

Why I Love Aussie

I remember the day I decided to try Aussie, it was a good six years ago and my teenage self was reeled in by the glossy advert in the magazine showing one of those surfer babe girls with amazing hair! Since that day it's been the range I swear by. I've tried different products for my hair, anything that I hear is good I'll give it a go, but I just keep coming back to Aussie.. So what's so good about it?!

The shampoo and conditioner photoed are from the Mega range, which is good to prevent product build up. However I've tried almost all of the different ones and they're all great! I tend to just usually read the description and pick one that suits my hair type. Simples. What I love about Aussie is that I rarely experience any product build up. Other shampoos and conditioners I've tried tend to leave my hair feeling heavy and it often goes greasy quicker. Whereas with the Aussie range I only have to wash it 2-3 times a week! 

The leave in conditioners are great to spray on after you've washed your hair to help brush it through. If you've got long hair like me this can often be a horrendous task! Aussie leave in conditioner makes this so much less painful. The conditioners leave the ends of my hair feeling so soft too, it's that kind of soft where you can't stop running your fingers through it! The 3 Minute Miracle Treatments are also worth checking out, I love them for the occasional deep conditioning treatment. 

The Miracle Dry Shampoo is my recent new discovery! I'm really, really impressed with this product. I've never found a dry shampoo I actually like, they usually make me choke on the fumes they're so strong and they make my room stink for hours! And they're not that effective even then. So I usually just use talcum powder! But this one has quite a nice scent and it's a lot more effective than others I've tried. So I'm a happy bunny!

Oh and I forgot to mention, the whole range smells amazing! People have actually commented on how my hair smells, it's that good. It's just the most delicious fresh, fruity smell, I still can't get enough.

Although I love Aussie it is quite pricey so I usually just buy it when the offers are on (which is a lot of the time!) You can view the full range here at Boots.
