Hair Care Routine | leeannpatricia


Hi guys! How have you all been recently? 
Today I've decided to share with you my hair care routine, its pretty simple but I thought someone may be interested!

So I know its pretty gross, but I rarely brush my hair purely because it turns into a frizzy mess! The only problem with this is that brushing knots out of my hair is... painful. I find that washing my hair too much can actually make my hair super greasy! Plus it's not good for your hair washing it daily anyway! So I wash my hair every other day, but shower daily! 
Now your probably wondering how I know that washing your hair daily isn't great? Well studying hairdressing for three years and getting a full qualification out of it, is always helpful. 

Anyway, moving on. For the products I use! Its pretty obvious that when I wash my hair I use shampoo and conditioner, so heres a little bit of information about the products I use. 


Now I use Aussie products, as they are literally my holy grail products. So for shampoo I use the Colour Mate Shampoo, which is obviously for coloured hair. I only colour my hair about once a year but I still find my hair becomes very dry after having bleach on it, but I find this shampoo helps keeping the colour vibrant and protects it from chemical damage. For conditioner, I used to use the matching one but I find that my hair wasn't getting enough moisture from it. Anyway, I picked up the Miracle Moist Conditioner, for dry and damaged hair and it works wonders! When the conditioner is on my hair I always brush it through. I found that since using this conditioner makes my hair feels so much softer and healthier. And by the way, both products smell AMAZING!

Now there are a couple of other steps that I do after I get out the shower..
The next step is putting oils in my hair, which has became a key step in my hair care routine!


I like to put oils in my hair as recently it has been getting pretty dry, so I stopped using as much heat, such as curlers and straighteners on my hair and started using oils! Now this product is called Moroccanoil, and it leaves a stunning result to my hair, it also makes my hair feel so nice and smelling beautiful. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I prefer to apply it to my hair when its been freshly washed, as I find the results are even better. Sometimes I do use it on dry hair when I feel like my hair needs a bit of life pushed into it. However this product can be a little bit expensive, so I buy the smallest bottle which can last a long time (which is great). 

So I don't use my heat on my hair as much as I used to, but I still like to put heat protection on my hair so I know its protected for any heat I may use randomly.


There are two different types of heat sprays I like to use, the one on the left is really cheap but does the job. I find that this is the one I use more when my hair has been freshly washed. It protects the hair against any heat damage and adds shine when using straighteners, curling tongs and hair dryers which is a bonus! The one on the right is more for when you are straightening your hair and this is more expensive out of the two as its Toni&Guy. Now it has maximum heat protection for straight styles, this product protects against any heat damage, it conditions and smooths and also boosts natural shine.
However I never use any heat when drying my hair, I find that leaving my hair to dry naturally saves it from being damaged anymore! Its just a personal preference but it doesn't mean that it will completely damage your hair if you do so.

Now I know I don't use that many products on my hair but it works for me! For finishing products I just use Wella hairspray in number 3 (Secure hold) and thats about it!

Whats your holy grail hair product?

If you have any questions, let me know!

New Purchases | leeannpatricia



My obsession with spending all my money on clothes and shoes has become a little over the top but oh well. So I wanted to share with you some of my recent purchases! 
Recently I've been wanting so many new clothes but its hard when you have no job..
(Also I want to apologise about the not great quality of photos) 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So lets begin with things I've recently bought from topshop

I've been wanting a decent pair of ripped jeans and as I only really wear Topshop jeans, these were absolutely perfect.
These are the Ripped Joni Super High Waisted Jeans. The Colour is bleach-stone.
The size I got is a size 6 and I find they fit me perfectly and are so comfortable. I'd recommend any of the topshop jeans but get them in a smaller size as they can stretch and become very baggy! 
Price - £38.00
 Now I found these beauties in the sale for £19.99, now its still a little pricey but they are worth it. They are high waisted white lace shorts. I've checked on the Topshop website and they don't sell them no longer but I'm sure you can find some lurking on the internet somewhere. These shorts are in a size 6 also.

Now this is one of most recent purchases and I'm absolutely loving it. 
Its a white sheer top with a grey neck. On the chest of the top it says "Cassie-Toi" which I'm not really sure what it means but hey ho.So with this top I'd defiantly recommend wearing a white bra or a bando underneath as its so see through.As I love wearing baggy tshirts, I picked up a size 10 which is the perfect fit.
Price- £18.

Now both of these items in the picture I have bought recently, which are white joni jeans and a white long sleeved crop top which I am obsessed with.
The white crop top it fit perfectly, but is pretty see through so a bando or a white bra would be fine. I got this top in a size 6.
Price- £10.00
White trousers have been a fashion statement recently and I needed to buy some so I joined the crowd. Now I find sometimes topshop jeans can go a lil baggy so I picked up some petite ones in a size 6 so make sure they didn't!
With these white jeans the material are a little thin so defiantly wear white underwear!!!!
Price- £38.00
Now the last item from topshop are these white snake skin pumps which take forever to break in and left me such bad blisters! But finally they are all fine and I basically wear them daily.
Size- 4
Price- £20.00
(I'm not completely sure if these are the right ones, but they are the only white ones I could find on the website)

Now for the other places I have recently been shopping at!

Recently I went to V-festival and they have the best little vintage shops there ever! I was literally in heaven. I'm not sure what the little shop was called but I got this vintage shirt, with crazy patterns on for only £10.00!!
(Jeans are from topshop, link is above.)
These are my baby's at the moment! I am so in love with how they look on! They are good for everyday as they are so comfortable and also night time wear!
I'd recommend these shoes to anyone as they are so comfortable. 
Price- £29.99
