REVIEW: MODIVA PROFESSIONAL CLIPLESS CURLING IRON

Hey girls, 

I have been playing around and experimenting for the past couple of months with the Modiva Professional 25mm Curling Iron and have decided to do a review on it. To all my fellow Aussie beauties I think you will be excited to hear, I have stumbled across not only a curling iron which is the same width the whole way through but it's also clipless (extremely hard to find, trust me..I know!) Keep reading to find more about this amazing hair tool and where you can purchase it!

It's clipless which means you have to adopt a fairly different method of curling but I find that it's much more simple and is more effective in curling your hair. Now that I have tried clipless I will never use another curling iron with a clip ever again!

The curling iron that I have been testing out is the 25mm barrel which is the middle option out of the three widths. You can go for a thinner barrel (13mm) for tighter, smaller curls or a thicker barrel (32mm) for looser more wavy curls. 

I do recommend the 25mm as your first curling iron just because it is so versatile and can create many different styles. For small springy curls you can wrap up smaller sections of hair and tightly, for everyday curls you can wrap medium sized sections around the wand and for big voluminous curls you can wrap larger sections, more loosely. Of course all of these looks are going to take practice to perfect but it's really fun playing around with it and learning all the different styles you can achieve with this one curling iron!

Some added features that make your overall curling experience feel less like a chore include the sleek ergonomic design with non-slip grip, 360 degree swivel cord, a solid tourmaline Barrel with ionic technology which provides many extra benefits for your hair and of course an Australian plug! (You would be surprised how many adapters I have!)

The Modiva curling irons heat up as hot as 210°C which cuts out so much styling time because you only have to hold your hair on the barrel for a short amount of time! Of course it will depend of the thickness of your sections and how hard to curl your hair is but I find that I have a whole head of curls in under 15minutes! I also love how long lasting the curls are, they remain perfect all day and still look great the next day which is amazing and super impressive!

I love the fact that when you buy your curling iron you also receive little extras that helps curl your hair like two clips for sectioning and a heat protectant glove so you aren't afraid of burning yourself while you curl your hair.

This is an Australian website so not only is there no need to convert prices and such but it also means free express shipping!

Although it is an Australian based company, it ships internationally! So this curling iron can be shipped to you wherever you live in the world within 5-10 working days! If your from Australia then you will receive it within 1-2 days and that's with free shipping, great deal right!

You can purchase this amazing curling iron from the Modiva website and it's the only place I have seen a curling iron that is clipless, the same width all the way through and available to ship to Australia! Definitely recommend checking it out :)

REVIEW: JOHN FRIEDA SHEER BLONDE "GO BLONDER" LIGHTENING SPRAY

Hey girls,

I have a review for you on quite an interesting and different product and it's the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray. If you have read my everyday hair routine then you would know how in love I am with John Frieda hair products especially the Go Blonder range now that my hair is back to being pretty light.

Promises To: Work with styling heat to gradually lighten and brighten for a natural-looking, blonder blonde in 3-5 uses.
Recommended For: Brassy or dull, colour treated hair.
Price: $18.99 RRP in Australia but you can buy it for much cheaper online and it may be more affordable where you live.

 

Formulation: It's a very liquidy consistency with a spray top. The spray top gives a very nice even distribution of the product.
Effectiveness: I have been trialling this product for about 3 or 4 months and I have actually noticed it has lightened my hair! Surprisingly it does slightly work but I would say you have to have naturally pretty light hair as well as quite light colour treated hair. I don't think it would be too effective on darker shades of blonde just because it doesn't seem to be a strong enough product to strip dark colours.
Uses: This product is very multipurpose and can be used to all over lighten your hair so you just spray all your hair with it, for highlights so you just spray selective pieces of your hair or for root blending where you spray your roots and it blends your regrowth better.
Quantity: The bottle contains 103ml of product and how long the bottle lasts is dependent on the length of your hair and what your using it for but you will get a fair amount of use out of it.
Scent: A really lovely and pleasant citrus scent, overwhelming at times but for the most part it's alright.
Packaging: A sleek bottle which is easily stored and I love how it has a really good quality spray top to apply the product!
Usage: You spray this product onto damp hair before blow drying and styling. The more heat you use on your hair after applying this product, the better the result.  Perfect for in between salon visits to freshen up your colour.

Where to purchase this: You can get your hands on this at pharmacies, drugstores, supermarkets and anywhere you know that sells John Freida products! Of course many online places also sell this product and probably for much cheaper than you can get it in stores.
Would I repurchase this: I have had such a good experience with this product so I will definitely be repurchasing it.
Overall: I think this is a really different and unique product, I haven't really seen anything like this before! I think it's a great concept and I like the results I have seen in my hair. I feel like this product is a great investment because the long term effects are to lighten your hair which means you could use it to cover regrowth, prolonging the amount of time you can go without re-doing your hair. Reducing bleach damage and saving money because you have to go to the salon much less. Definitely love and recommend trying it out!

MY EVERYDAY HAIR ROUTINE

Hey girls, 

This is going to be all the products I use on my hair on an everyday basis. I use a mixture of brands but this is just what I have found works for my hair the best to ensure it's strong, healthy and at the colour I want it.

Shampoo

So this might be really weird but I actually switch between three shampoos depending what I think my hair is needing at the time.
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo: I use this shampoo when I am in between colours and I really just want to make my hair feel a bit lighter and fresher. It doesn't bleach your hair obviously but you will notice it gradually become visibly lighter. I love the whole Go Blonder range and you will see a few more products from that collection as we progress through my routine.
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Moisturising Shampoo: This is probably the shampoo I use most often, it's the one I go to when I am not using my other Sheer Blonde or Aromas shampoo. I just find that it nicely maintains my blonde hair, doesn't strip the oil from my hair but gets it clean looking. It has become my favourite everyday use shampoo.
Nak Aromas Argan Oil Shampoo: When I feel like my hair is becoming a little dry, maybe if I have used a lot of heat on my hair that week or I just got my hair re-highlighted and that stripped some moisture from it, I will use this shampoo. It's probably the most moisturizing out of the 3 but it doesn't do anything for my blonde hair so that's why I don't use it all the time, I like to focus on maintaining my colour. I feel like I have to get my hair done a lot less often if I use the lightening shampoos and such which saves money long term.

Toner

Schwarzkopf Blonde Toner: Since I have been blonde my whole life apart from about 4 months in early 2011...you can trust me when I say that I have tried a lot of toner! So I'm being serious when I say that this is an amazing toner for taking out brassiness in blonde hair for a more natural look. Not to sound conceded but on YouTube I get a crazy amount of compliments about the colour of my hair which is really flattering and I have put it down to this amazing toner! I switch up my shampoo's and conditioners so often and don't really use any other colour maintenance product except for this so I have put my hair colour down to this magical toner!

Conditioner/Treatments

If you read my review on the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner you will know I don't love this conditioner but it was fairly pricey and I hate to waste money so I have figured out a way to save money with it! The Macadamia Hair Masque is very expensive costing $40 for 250ml and I hate using the Organix conditioner on it's own because I feel like it doesn't moisturise my hair enough. My solution to this problem is to dilute my Macadamia Repair masque with the Organix Conditioner, using up the Organix conditioner and allowing me to only have to use a small amount of the Macadamia hair masque, it's a win win. The Macadamia Deep Repair Masque is the best treatment I have ever used but I use it as a conditioner just because my hair is quite dry and I feel like it needs that extra boost of moisture.

Brushes

When I have my conditioner on in the shower, I like to brush through my hair with a wide toothed comb/Afro comb because it's super gentle on your roots and doesn't pull out any hair. I also like doing this because I don't brush my hair when I get out of the shower because your hair is so brittle when wet you really shouldn't be ripping through it with a brush. The conditioner makes it really easy to glide the comb through your hair further preventing any ripped out hairs or damage while making your hair manageable for when you finish showering.I love this step because it always makes my hair so soft and silky!

 

When my hair is dry and I'm styling or just brushing my hair out, I use DuBoa brushes because they are extremely gentle on the hair and minimize the amount of hair pulled out. The only downside to these amazing brushes is that they are $40 which is kind of expensive for a brush but they will last you forever as long as you don't drop them (they will shatter!!)

Leave In Treatments

John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Finishing Creme: I love using this product to smooth down any fly aways and fluffiness that occurs when I curl or style my hair. It doesn't weight it down or make it oily so it's a pretty good product that is now included in my everyday hair routine when I style my hair.

Nak Aromas Oil: I like to put this in my hair after getting out of the shower and my hair is damp. Any products derived from the Moroccan Argan tree is extremely moisturizing and amazing for your hair.

Extras

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray: This is a super interested and unique product. I don't use this everyday but when I feel like I want my colour to look a little fresher I will spray this on damp hair and with the heat of your blow drier, it brightens your blonde hair! I only spray this on my ends because I like the ombre-ish look I have going on. It's a very subtle ombre look because it didn't come out as dramatic as I intended when I initially got it ombred. So it just lightens my ends and brings out the ombre look a little better.

So that is everything I do to my hair on an everyday basis! Do you use any of the products and what do you think about them?
