Neal & Wolf Must Buys!

Hi beauties! 

Before all of the moving hubbub that has happened in the past few weeks, I was lucky enough to receive a few products from the fabulous Neal & Wolf to review. I've always heard great things about this brand and I have had one or two sample sachets to try in the past. But if I'm entirely honest, it's never really been enough to get a real feel for the products. Like I said, I have had these in my possession for a few weeks and this review has been a long time coming. (I was trying so hard to find time before the move, and then we had no internet!) I can now tell you that I absolutely adore all of the goodies I received, and will most certainly be repurchasing from Neal & Wolf. RITUAL Daily Cleansing Shampoo  - £10.95

This shampoo is designed to cleanse the hair, leaving it sleek, shiny and ready to style. With the help of silk and milk proteins it helps to boost vital moisture in damaged hair and even reduces flyaways. I have been using this shampoo roughly two – three times a week, and I can certainly vouch for all of the claims above. My damaged ends are a whole ton healthier, my hair no longer feels frizzy after washing and I’ve also noticed the growth has just sprouted out of nowhere. After colour and heat treating my hair for years, it has taken me a good three years to get to the length I’m at now from a pixie cut. My hair does not like to grow. But recently my roots has just appeared, and I can only put it down to this shampoo and the other amazing products I’m about to mention. 

 HARMONY Intensive Care Treatment - £12.95

 This blend of intensive conditions has been specially created for damaged hair. It claims to deliver an instant transformation, leaving your hair with a different texture and appearance after use. As with most conditions, I apply this after shampooing and leave for 3-5 minutes before rinsing. I find with most intensive/strong conditions that I usually have a huge issue with residue left in my hair, even after standing under the shower for what seems like a lifetime. With this I have no problem at all. You can really feel that after a rinse, your hair is clean, smooth and sooo soft! I know you aren’t meant to brush your hair when it’s wet, but I hold my hands up to being a repeat offender of this. Again, usually I would struggle, but this treatment means that my comb or brush just slides right on through. This is probably a huge factor as to why my hair is in such good shape. SILK Smoothing Blow-dry Balm - £11.95

This is an after shower, wheat protein complex that will put an end to frizz and tangles. It provides moisture, balance and manageability where it’s needed. The directions say to apply to damp hair prior to blow drying, but I did find that an example of amount may have been handy. My first couple of attempts I was left with slightly heavier hair than normal. I can only put this down to using too much of this product. After I had figured out that I only need to use a pea or two sized amount on my length of hair, I fell in love. Not only does it smell incredibly, just as all of the products, but it really does make blow drying your hair a whole lot easier. If I have time, I usually like to section my hair and use a round brush to give a proper blow dried finish, but thanks to this lotion, for days when I’m in a hurry, I can just pop this on, whizz over the hair dryer and go. I don’t even feel the need to straighten my hair most days, all due to the fact that my hair is lying so sleek and flat. There will be no more bushy haired Sam! 

GUARD Heat Protection - £10.95

My final product is one that I am guilty of not using very often, until now. The heat protection spray contains silk protein, and helps to lock in moisture and protect hair against heat up to 220°C. The spray can be used on both wet and dry hair, meaning you can also use this before blow drying if you don’t have any of the above treatment. Even though I have now lessened my straightener usage, I do reach for this even time I pick up those burny hot beasts. I think I can safely say that I now understand the importance of a good heat protectant. Again, my hair feels and looks the best it has in a long time. 

 So as a conclusion, I’m now a huge fan of Neal & Wolf. All of the good things you hear are true and I will definitely be trying out a few more products in the future. If I’m completely honest, even if these products weren’t as great as they actually are, I would have loved them for their scent alone. If you could bottle it and turn it into a room spray, I would be on it like a mad woman. After using them twice to three times a week, my shampoo and conditioner are still going strong and I probably have a good week, maybe two’s worth of product left. As for the other two items, I feel they aren’t going to run out any time soon, meaning all of these products are fantastic value for money. If you do have damaged hair like myself, or maybe even struggling to get it past a certain length, give a couple of these a go! You may just get the same result I have. A head full of roots!* 

Let me know if you have tried any Neal & Wolf products, what would you recommend? 

*Probably the only time I’ll ever be happy to have fast growing roots.
