Popband London Craze: Review

This week I decided to get involved in the Popband London hair booble craze,I mean Jess from Made In Chelsea uses them soooo if they're good enough for her they're good enough as us right? I'm loving MIC this series btw..is anyone else?

The idea behind these 'Popbands' is that they hold your ponytails up tight, but still leave hair fresh and kink-free when you take it down! They are unlikely to damage hair like regular hair bobbles when taking them out and finally they can be worn on your wrist as a super-cute bracelet. I don't know if you girls are the same as me but if I put my hair around my ears for 2 minutes my hair would kink straight away. Oh and I am definitely one of them girls 
who always has a black hair bobble around my wrist. Yuk! 

With this in mind.. I just HAD to give these popband a try for myself. 

After about 20 minutes looking through all the amazing colours and patterns I went for the 'Animal' popbands. I can be a sucker for animal print sometimes and I thought the grey, bronze and black coloured bobbles would go with loads of outfits. I bought the 'Animal' popbands for £7.20 instead of £8 as they're currently offering 10% off your first order.

The Important Review

Delivery 
I ordered the popbands hair bobbles on Tuesday and I have received them today which is Thursday. In my opinion the delivery service is excellent as it only took 2 days to arrive and it was free delivery...BONUS! The packaging well lets just say I just LOVED IT!! I walked through the door today after a long day at work and all I could see on the bench was this BRIGHT PINK envelope. I mean what girl isn't going to get excited about opening a bright pink parcel. So I quick teared the envelope and look what was inside....

AMAZING!

Bracelet Look
After opening the envelope I just couldn't wait to use them so I decided to try one out whilst going out for my dads birthday tonight. I know so keen..whoops! I decided to go for the leopard print one as I was wearing black and camel and I thought it would go perfect with my outfit in my hair or around my wrist. I'v gotta admit it did look so much better than a boring black one that is usually around my wrist. What do you think? 

Kink - free
In terms of kink-free hair, I can honestly say it did still leave a little one but it wasn't extreme! Normally I can feel the kink if I slide my hand down the back of my hair but I couldn't, it was ever so slight. Check my before and after picture and see what you think for yourself. oh and I need a hair cut so try not to look too much at the condition please. 

Damage 
One thing that was very positive about popbands is that when taking the bobble out my hair, no hair got tangled up around the bobble. Nothing worse than pulling half of your hair out whilst taking your bobble out is there? Normally it hurts too. Wahhhhh!

Overall, I will be definitely getting myself some more of these 'Popbands' in other colours. I  really fancy getting more for going to the gym so I might go for more of a neon/bright kind of colour. I know my friend was dying for me to review these aswell as shes wanting to buy some for her holiday to Egypt next month. The lucky gurrrrl.

If you were wanting to get your hands on some aswell use the code 'THANKYOU10' for 10% off your order.

Let me know below..I would love to hear from you.

Tangle Teezer Blow-Styling Paddle Brush

I've owned a Compact Styler Tangle Teezer for so long now and I couldn't live without it. Its most definitely a handbag essential especially with it been a small size. As I have long locks I have to carry a brush with me at all times to get rid of them knots and tats during the day. I have the leopard print one however you can get them in all colours and patterns. On Tangle Teezers official website this size is £12.25, I got mine at the airport so I got it a little bit cheap. LOVE A BARGAIN. 

       

When blow drying my hair I have always used a paddle brush as my hair is so thick and using a paddle brush always seem to control it easier. Recently however my Ghd Styler Paddle Brush broke so I was on the search for a new one. When doing my daily ASOS browsing on my phone, I came across the new Tangle Teezer Blow- Styling Brush and I thought 'well I LOVE my compact style tangle teezer so why not give this ago'. After reading a little more about it, I was SOLD. I bought the 'Full Paddle Brush' £20 but you can also get it a 'Medium' £18 just depending on the length of your hair. I know that might seem expensive (my boyfriend couldn't believe it when I told him) but I just think I use it everyday so its well worth the spends. 

I have had the Tangle Teezer Full Paddle Blow- Styling Brush for a few weeks now and I honestly LOVE it. It does exactly what it says on the box. The brushing has fixed based teeth which helps to dry my hair much quicker. This is a big thing for me as I have long hair and I wash it everyday (naughty I know). I also feel like my hair is much smoother/shiner and I don't need to apply the straighteners as much. So if your looking for a new paddle brush or wanting to make your blow-dry a little bit quicker. Get yourself one of these Tangle Teezer Paddle Brushes.

What brush do you use to blow-dry your hair?

Do you love the new Tangle Teezer Paddle Brush?

Let me know.

Lots of love
