" Pretty Portobello: Blown away

Blown away

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. I am so happy to be back here writing to you all, the blog should be back to 'normality' very soon, I hope.
Anyways, I have so much to talk about that I don't even know where should I get started. Well, let's start from the top and that is from the hair.

I'm having so many problems with my hair lately, it's dry and gets tangled very easily. To comb is a total nightmare, I can feel the ends splitting as the comb goes through, not the nicest feeling really, is it? I do need another trim, the last one was around September and it's about time to chop some ends, even though I am not really keen on the idea as I want to keep my hair quite long.

Living in England, I suppose it doesn't help much. The weather conditions, the water as people will say, is the most blamed element over here for dryness of the hair and skin, unfortunately those are unavoidable causes. Also the cosmetic use, such as hair colouring and blow drying, could be causing the dryness on my hair too.
For my hair colouring, I use a professional product and I will only do my roots every month or so and I know for that reason I am not really damaging the rest of my hair. The hairdryer on the other hand is used constantly, I hate having my hair wet in the cold, so I never get the chance to give it a rest on that one. The habit became so big that even in the summer I dry my hair with the hairdryer. That really got me thinking of how important is to use the right tools. With the advance of technology, you don't have to damage your hair anymore. Nowadays, no one is burning their hair into some horrible hot metal plate, so hairdryers need to catch up too, we don't want just some hot air blowing, we need something that will help us to look good and also will help us with the condition of our hair.


I read about the new GHD Air hair dryer and it's meant to be the best on the market right now. For starters is a professional hairdryer so it's very powerful and fast, with advanced ionic technology, which is super important, this is what will reduce the frizz and make your hair softer and silkier, exactly what I need.
Other great features are the long 3m cable, I am tired of short cables where you can never reach the closest mirror and the sleek design which is for either right or left handed people and great for me too as I dry my hair with both hands and a cold button to help your hair set in place after blow dry.
I can't wait to try it!

PS: If anyone has an advice on a good hair treatment/ conditioning masque for dry hair please share it with me.

See you soon.
