Anyway, to quickly fill you in on the last 7 months of my life:
- November was a phenomenal month: I met one direction for starters!!!!! I met Calum too. Two days after that, I saw 5sos at their KOKO show in Camden and I also went to the teen awards for the second time avec mes copines.
- Not as exciting but I also sat my maths GCSE early that month and ended up getting an A! yayyyy
- I went to the Jingle Bell Ball in December for the second time also.
- I saw the 1975 in January!
- Went all the way to Oxford in February to see 5sos again!
So now it's April and my first exam is in one month, 5days and I've managed to find 10 minutes out of my jam-packed revision schedule to write this post.
Last week, I happened to stumble across a small box in the bathroom cupboard. On opening, I discovered a hair oil from Avon. It was the 'Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum'.

My mum used to be an Avon representative so I am assuming that we got this for free. Anyway I was curious and eager to use it so the next day, after I washed my hair I gave it a whirl. Typically, that day I had my hair in a bun and my ends were drier than normal. I took my hair out of a towel, combed it through, applied 2 pumps to each half of my hair (so 4 pumps in total) (i have quite a lot of hair lol) and then blow-dried.
It made such a big difference in my opinion and left my hair one million times softer than it was previously; and not greasy at all!!!
I have never seen anyone mention this product before, that goes for most Avon products tbh, however I do feel like some are worthy of recognition, this one especially!
My hair is annoying because it is greasy at the roots (as in 'necessary to wash it everyday' kind of greasy) but the ends get quite dry and split as it is very long. My point is, if your hair is anything like mine, I strongly encourage you to buy this product as I think you would thoroughly enjoy it!
The bottle is 30ml but looks like it would last a fairly long time, and as I said above, I got the product for free so I am unsure of the price. Avon is relatively inexpensive so I would imagine that it is under £10.
Another bonus is that the oil's scent is completely inoffensive! I own some other Avon hair products and they all have a similar smell which I am really fond of. The best way I could describe it would be fresh, salon-like, with a hint of cherry.
Unfortunately I can't compare the product because I have never really used any other oils, except a NUXE one and I will admit that at the time I didn't really know what I was doing so I can't remember if it was any good, hahaha.
I am slightly addicted to this product and use it every other day, without fail.
If anyone has any other hair oils they like, do let me know in the comments:)
Now I am going to go and watch Made in Chelsea (new season oh yes), so I will probably see you in December with another post haha, only joking!
