So many brands and so many products: some claim to thicken the hair; others claim to make it stronger; some even claim that using their shampoo can help you regain your long lost hair! There are well over 200 products for washing the hair - is this supposed to make our lives easier? I don't think so! With all these brands and different hair types we should make a choice. Choosing a hair shampoo depends on many factors: hair nature, colour, thickness, length, your age and even your ethnic origin! Most examples of European hair are different from Asian or African hair so we should keep in mind that what works on someone else's hair might not work on yours.

So many people (mostly ladies) use a lot of styling products: gel, mousse, moulding mud, heating rolls, hair dryers and (the big destroyer) colouring their hair. When using hair colouring, a lot of damage occurs that may not be visible. You are not only covering the hair with multi chemicals; you have damaged your hair especially if you are going lighter. By using peroxide you are stripping your hair of its natural oils and protein, thus leaving it dull, lifeless and very breakable. This also applies to having a permanent wave or straightening the hair: they both do damage; perhaps even worse; the hair may be frizzy and have every woman's nightmare: split ends! The last solution is a trip to the hairdresser (which I hate most, as all of them cut inches off your hair, as if they are against long hair!).

As for me I never dye or bleach my hair; I like it dark - but I have very long hair and I'm very addicted to styling products and I use heat tongs (mostly every day). The results are great, but when my hair is wet I can see thinning ends, some split ends, and a loss of shine.

CATWALK FASHIONISTA SHAMPOO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Through all these products there is one that stands out: Catwalk Fashionista Shampoo, which was invented and developed by Tigi, a leading brand for body, hair, and cosmetic products. I didn't like the name; I thought it was quite long and a bit over the top.

It claims to be the best of the range, using top ingredients to use from root to tip. This shampoo claims to have unique ingredients designed to make the best of your hair and to give you the looks of which you have always dreamt. Their advertisement, showing some catwalk models with their silky hair flying away is very well styled, but how is it in real life for real, on real individuals' hair?
