Fantastic 4 hit the big screens a few weeks ago and was literally trampled by viewers and critics. The amount of negative criticism was overwhelming, I entered the cinema expecting rubbish. However, deep down, I knew it cannot get worse than DC's Green Lantern and I quite disliked the previous Fantastic Four movies with Jessica Alba etc
[SOMEWHAT MINOR SPOILER ALERT]
I personally felt that the reboot wasn't THAT bad, yes, it was bad, but I was still able to sit through it. The acting was poor and there were plot holes, but I preferred the plot to this re-boot than the original storyline. There was a lot of public outrage as the film made some significant deviations from the original comic - but I like the idea that the 4 teleported to an alternate universe and obtained their "powers" rather than powers gained from explosive outer-space cosmic rays in the previous movie. There were countless complaints about Dr Doom, I personally don't have any beef with his appearance, as long as his in a green cape and his face is all mangled with metal, it's fine. The characters were quite detached and not exactly lovable... this movie wasn't great but I still preferred this to the previous Fantastic Four movies. The reviews were so bad that they pulled out from making a sequel reboot. All Marvel movie fans know that you gotta sit through the credits for a preview... well, there were none for this movie.. which is probably a good thing..

Ingredients and ethics
My Verdict
I'll start off by saying that I am not a hair person, I wash my hair every 2nd or third day and recently gotten over my laziness and started to conditioning. I will brag, my is naturally healthy and low maintenance so I don't use a lot of hair treatment or products. However, my fly away has always been an issue.
Shower time is precious, doing a full body scrub, exfoliating my face, shampoo and conditioning takes a long time, and I do not wish to add additional unnecessary time in the shower. I've put off using Hair & Me so many times because of the procedure that I was required to follow.
It's still cold... and I can't stand in front of the heater for 45 minutes.. and shampoo twice!? Nooooooo
But I decided to finally put the product to test last weekend, I thought to myself... it better do amazing things to my hair.
AND IT DID
My fly aways no longer flew and was reduced by at least 60%. My hair felt nice and silky, dry scalp was no more and most flakes were gone. I was shocked, this product is living up to it's reputation.
However, this will be a special occasion product for me, my weekly schedule is pretty crazy and I dislike having damp hair! If I have a special event to attend (i.e., birthdays, weddings etc) I will definitely use this product the day before to put my best hair forward.

Have you tried this? What's your favourite hair product?
Great Review!
ReplyDeleteIt seems everyone loves this product!
I might have to give it a go!
I love this hair mask. I actually apply it onto dry hair and leave it for an hour or two then wash it out. My hair feels so soft since using it.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try that next time! Thanks :)
DeleteYour movie review lol. I've never been a huge fan of Fantastic 4 anyways so I wasn't overly fussed they deviated from the comics so much... I never actually saw the original films just because they looked so bad, and I wasn't really planning on seeing these either. The fact that you've said it's watchable but not amazing means I will probably give it a miss as well haha.
ReplyDeleteI've been using this one as well and I agree the entire procedure is the frustrating part, but it's well worth the results! I'm glad you enjoyed using it and it was worth it :D
xx
haha the movies erks me like transformers movies. I think it's something that you need to just sit down and watch once... one day :P
DeleteI accidentally just read that top part there about Fantastic Four :P, I've never tried this product before. But I'm glad that you've had a great experience from it, my favourite hair product at the moment would have to be the Tresemme Heat Tamer Protective Spary (I've just started using it again) and its really helping my colour last longer and strands less damanged!
ReplyDeleteI agree Lily, this treatment is something special - I didn't realise my hair could be so soft ♡
ReplyDeleteAnother top review of this product! I must get some to try- nothing but positive reviews all round!
ReplyDeleteThis hair treatment sounds ah-mazing! I'll have to buy some for my next special occasion!
ReplyDeleteBut you don't HAVE any fly aways! And now I know what movie to avoid!
ReplyDeleteHaha thats becuase i gel the crap out of my hair before i leave the house :p
DeleteI've been putting off using this for the exact same reasons, that an I needed to wait until my cast was off :) Maybe this week I'll get a chance, hope it controls my flyaways!
ReplyDeleteThe treatment sounds really interesting! I don't really use anything for my hair, but I definitely want to try this hehe. And I haven't watched Fantastic 4 yet... there were too many bad reviews and I got scared of "wasting my money" LOL.

I love hair masks! I will definitely try giving this one a go! I find they are so much more effective compared to just using a conditioner.
