Happy Friday my lovely readers! I have decided to post about my current haircare routine as this is something I don’t focus on enough. As you may know I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and keeping your hair healthy and nourished is a tricky one whilst growing a baby so when I discovered this nourishing range which was is also vegan and cruelty free by Umberto Giannini I was really looking forward to seeing how it would transform my hair. I was a little skeptical at first as I am used to using premium haircare brands that are more expensive whilst certainly giving results but I’m super impressed with this range.

Beautyworks have recently launched an exclusive hair extension collection by celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkins in the award winning hair salon, Umberto Giannini located in Harvey Nichols Manchester. I was invited to the launch event at the salon to discover the extensions and find out about the different types of applications and what is involved. The evening included demonstrations of each of the hair extension that would be available in the salon; nano bonds, tape and weft extensions. My favourite technique was the nano bonds for their undetectable method which combines strands of natural hair with the extension hair using tiny, curved rings. This technique can last for many months, keeping any re-application to a minimum. The hair comes in a wide range of shades so it’s pretty easy to match to your colour. You can even get balayage hair extensions! Has anyone tried extensions by Beautyworks before?

Last weekend I had a hair appointment at Umberto Giannini, award winning salon in Harvey Nichols Manchester which is located on Deansgate. This was my first time at the salon and I was made to feel very welcome. Even though the salon is located in Harvey Nichols, it is surprisingly affordable and accessible for everyone, with a cut and blow dry starting from £36. They even have a student price list which is very reasonable, more details can be found here. The salon also recently won an award for the Best Salon in Manchester!

In recent months I have neglected my in-shower hair routine due to my dry and sensitive scalp which is in need of some tlc. The lovely Umberto Giannini salon in Harvey Nichols sent me some products to try out and needless to say they have changed the way I now wash and style my hair. The products I got to try out were from the Beauty Secrets and Glam hair ranges. First up is the Pure beauty shampoo and the Intense beauty conditioner which are perfect if your suffering from dry, dull hair. They smelt amazing and really foamed up when massaged into the scalp. I tend to only use conditioner on the ends of my hair to avoid the scalp feeling greasy, however with this Intense Beauty conditioner I didn’t have this problem.
