Living Proof Triple Bond Complex

It has been years since I played with my hair colour, in time I've gone from having highlights and lowlights to balayage and the odd bit of bleach in my hair, I use straighteners and hairdryers, all of which can cause damage.  So, I have always been conscious of looking after my locks, especially after having Covid which saw my hair fall out more rapidly than I would ever like.  I was kindly sent the new Living Proof Triple Bond Complex to try and there is yet to be a product from this brand that I don't like, so I was excited to see what all the hype is about.

As with all Living Proof hair care products, there is a point to this one. Designed to be used weekly as part of your post-shower routine, the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex works to deliver protective and nourishing properties to all hair types. It is formulated with what is referred to as being 3D Fortifying Technology, a patent-pending complex which works to intensely nourish dry and brittle strands which in turn works to promote a smoother-looking appearance. There is also the inclusion of a rich blend of peptides and lipids which help to instantly condition and soften the hair to encourage effortless and comfortable styling, plus, this leave-in treatment is engineered to offer lasting protection with a glossy, mirror-like shine.

KEY BENEFITS

• Helps to reduce split ends
• Protects against mechanical, chemical, thermal and environmental damage
• Promotes healthy, stronger hair
• Encourages smoother softer, more manageable hair
• Free from parabens, silicones, phthalate and sulphates
• Cruelty-free

What I have enjoyed about using this Triple Bond Complex is not just the difference it has made to my hair, but how easily it has been to add it into my hair care routine. After washing your hair, all you need is 1-2 pumps which you massage through the lengths of your hair and then leave it for around 10 minutes, without rinsing it out, then you dry your hair,. What this treatment does is work to construct brand new bonds within the hair which help to deliver immediate strength as well as long-lasting protection for hair which is said to be eight times stronger with no signs of split ends, added to that this treatment also delivers protective hair care against mechanical, chemical, thermal, up to 232˚C and environmental damage, leaving your hair feeling more conditioned, it promotes softer, smoother and more manageable locks with a healthy shine.

The first few times I used this treatment, admittedly I saw no difference in my hair, I didn't get that glass shine I had expected to see but I persevered with using it and gradually my hair stopped falling out in the clumps it had been, this was the first thing I noticed and then, my hair was suddenly feeling thicker and my hair just looks so much healthier, a comment made by a stylist at a hair salon I have been to in recent months.

So is it worthy of the £42 price tag? For me it absolutely is and I am already on my second bottle, but if you are unsure, there is a 15ml tube which is priced at £19 and that alone would give you 3-4 uses so you can see for yourself.

Jurlique Hydrating Mask

As much as I love the Rosewater Balancing Mist from Jurlique, my current obsession from the brand happens to be the Hydrating Mask.

Described as being a silky cream mask to replenish and soften skin for a radiant glow, this mask is designed to give your skin round the clock hydration. For me, my skin has been really dry lately and as much as I am using an Essence and a facial oil, it still needs a little more TLC and it is getting it from this mask.

If you are familiar with Jurlique as a brand, then you will know that rose is one of their signature ingredients an within this mask there is the inclusion of the Jurlique Rose oil extract alongside a combination of:

• Lavender - Has a hydrating and calming effect when used in skin care and aromatherapy. It is used to re-balance dryness on the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and hydrated.
• Calendula - Has as intense soothing properties and has been used to rebalance sensitivity on the skin and throughout the body
• Marshmallow root extract - It soothes redness, relieves inflammation, and helps retain moisture in skin

They come together to work to rediscover skin's natural glow as well as ensuring your skin is left feeling soft and hydrated.

The texture of this mask is what I absolutely love. It isn't too thin that it doesn't sit on your skin, but neither is too thick that it doesn't absorb. The advice from Jurlique is to apply an even thin layer, once or twice a week, whilst remembering to avoid the eye contour area. It is also suitable for overnight use although I have applied it in a morning instead of my moisturising cream and allowed it to work its magic that way and it is also a great afternoon treat from your desk.

Priced at £41 it is available from Jurlique
