So I’m trying out Vidal Sasson Pro Series products to see if they can fix two hair issues: flat head and dry hair. The Vidal Sassoon name’s been around forever. I remember growing up hearing about VS as the line to use for salon-like products.  Never tried them but did for the first time after seeing their new affordable line that’s supposed to still be good.  Plus each is under $5 or $10. 
Experiment 1: On a bloody cold day with flat head hair
I get flat hair when it’s straight especially after day 3 so I wanted to make it look fuller and make the blow out last longer.  I tried the Boost & Lift spray on the roots of dry hair.   I am not a hair spray person but hate limp flat hair so am up for trying whatever might work.  Before leaving the house, I tipped my head upside down and sprayed it into the roots.  In pic 2 is the best post sprayed look. No more flat head and the effect lasted for the day. Still getting used to using a hair spray but it’s good finding something light weight with an instant volumizing effect without looking like hair candy floss.
Outfit wise: No hiding day 3 hair under a hat so skipped it and wore a vintage coat, loads of layers, oversized Ray Bans + lipstick.

Experiment 2:  On a mild day with dry hair/need a good conditioner
Having chemically relaxed/colored hair, it dries out easily so I wanted to find a good moisturizing conditioner.  I tried the Vidal Sassoon One Minute Mask on wet hair (kept it on for 3/4 ish mins) and then the Heat Protect & Shine Spray before drying. The hair came out softer and not dry Tip: I don’t leave any conditioner on for over 4 minutes.
Outfit wise:  School girl dress + groomed hair which so reminds me of going to school in London!  Only difference is I go with creepers now plus the hair style is less ‘wtf was I thinking’ than when growing up (I have school pics that’d shock you).

Let me know if you try anything and check out their facebook page for more on the line.
