This'll be quick as my life is currently being thrown around between work, gym and the occasional coffee break I squeeze in after the gym. The other day I took my first shower in the gym's locker room (they have separate shower cabins) and even though I can be a bit iffy about this idea – it was bloody perfect! Towels, a shower gel (got a new fave!), fresh pair of undies and I was good to go. If I felt inclined, perhaps I'd even wash my hair and for that only one shampoo is consistent and persistent in my life – the Alverde Anti-Fett Shampoo with nettle and lemon balm. This is pretty much everything I'd want a shampoo to be and the only gripe I have with it is that it doesn't come in bigger, economy bottles. Minty and light, it cleanses my oily roots quickly yet it doesn't dry out my already dry-prone ends. Lathers well, refreshes and gives volume – the ideal everyday shampoo, something that I'm glad I discovered by chance in my local drogerie markt. Alverde Glanz Spulung with lemon and apricot is a nice little hair conditioner which isn't too heavy to weigh my hair but it does make it smoother, shinier. My hair is usually rather shiny on its own but extra shine never hurts whilst anything lemon associated makes me think of lightness and a step away from heaviness. This conditioner I can use every time after I wash my hair and it never makes my hair look or feel greasy. It's just supple soft and easier to comb/brush through. What has been really helpful with the prevention of split ends is the Redken Extreme Anti-Snap leave-in treatment which smells of strawberry milkshake. That alone is a legit pro whilst, if we're being serious, everything else it does makes it ace. This guy can be over-applied if you use more than two or three pumps but if you're keeping the application within those boundaries, even thin-haired ladies would find it fab. It really takes care of frizz, smooths out hair, makes it silky but not slippery so. It also protects hair from heat (double bonus). These three products go hand in hand – frequent, if not everyday use have left no toll on my hair which has now grown to new lengths all healthy, fresh and well taken care of. I'm glad I've finally started to properly take care of it – it definitely shows and the best bit? I don't pay more than I used to!
Ovo ce biti kratko posto mi se trenutacno zivot vrti izmedju posla, teretane i povremene pauze za soljicu kafe koju nerijetko ‘uguram’ u raspored nakon odlaska u teretanu. Prije par dana sam se po prvi put istusirala u tus kabini koju teretana u koju idem ima u sklopu svlacionice. Iako sam se ranije osjecala kao da mi se tusiranje u javnom (ok, ne bas javnom vec kupatilu za clanice teretane) kupatilu istovremeno svidja i ne svidja (da li je higijenski, nije li, trebam li ponijeti spuzvu i Arf za svaki slucaj?) – moram priznati da me tog dana tusiranje spasilo od nesnosnih vrucina! Peskiri, gel za tusiranje (imam novog favorita!), cist ves i bila sam kao nova. Da sam zeljela, mogla sam oprati i kosu a za taj scenario je bio pripremljen sampon koji me ne prestaje odusevljavati. Alverde Anti-Fett sampon sa koprivom i maticnjakom je sve ono sto bih pozeljela od jednog sampona za cesto koristenje. Jedino sto bih promijenila je mililitraza – voljela bih da mogu kupiti velike, ekonomicne boce (poput Afroditinih sampona). Mentolasto svjez i lagan, bez problema uklanja visak sebuma sa tjemena a istovremeno mu vjerujem da nece isusiti krajeve kose koji su inace osjetljivi na sampone za masnu kosu. Srecom, ovaj sampon to ne cini. Lijepo pjeni, osvjezava i pruza volumen – doslovno je definicija idealnog sampona za svakodnevnu upotrebu (na masnoj kosi). Alverde Glanz Spulung regenerator sa limunom i marelicom je super jednostavan proizvod koji volim takodjer cesto koristiti na svojoj kosi. Odlicna je alternativa za maske za kosu koje nekada mogu biti isuviuse teske za tanku vlas. Ovaj regenerator radi na poboljsanju sjaja kose – priznajem da mojoj kosi sjaja nije nedostajalo no dopalo mi se sto citrusi asociraju na lakocu i nemastan efekat. Bas kao sto sam ocekivala, cesta upotreba ovog regeneratora (barem do sada) nije dovela do zasicenja kose proizvodom i unatoc cestom koristenju, nije otezao krajeve. Olaksava procesljavanje kose a ono sto je zaista mnogo pomoglo u prevenciji ispucalih krajeva je Redken Extreme Anti-Snap leave-in tretman koji jos i mirise na milkshake od jagoda. Samo taj miris bi bio dovoljan da me zaintrigira ali ipak je djelovanje ovog proizvoda pravi razlog zbog kojeg ga preporucujem. Ukoliko koristim dvije ili tri pumpice, cak ni moju tanku kosu nece umastiti vec zagladiti je, uciniti svilenkasto mekanom (ali ne skliskom) te cesljanje prolazi bez pucanja. Takodjer kosu stiti od tretiranja toplinskim uredjajima. Ova tri proizvoda koristim vec duze vrijeme, gotovo svaki dan. Rezultati su iznenadjujuce dobri i na kosi uopste ne vidim tragove cestog pranja, susenja itd. Primjetila sam da mi je kosa lijepo narasla, zdrava je i njegovana. Drago mi je sto sam vise svog vremena posvetila njenoj njezi uz pomoc odgovarajucih proizvoda – sto je najbolje, ova nova njega i pristup uopste me ne kostaju vise novcica nego sam ranije trosila.
