Happy Hair Days

Confession time... I am a haircare junkie. I am attracted to haircare products like a bee is to honey, like a magpie to silver. I can never have too many lotions and potions sprawled over my dressing table and bathroom window ledge promising me flowing locks so full, thick, smooth and glossy it will spark hair envy in even the most virtuous of people and have women begging me to know the secret to my heavenly hair. Those promises have never been fulfilled, however, i am not giving up hope that i will one day get my mitts on an elixir that will give me hair so fabulous people will think i sold my soul to the devil himself. Until that day i will spend hours perusing hair aisles like a phantom deciding which product to try next. The latest ones are these

Happy Hair Days Shampoos and Conditioners in Smoothing Blueberry & Pear, Glossing Lemongrass & Basil and Colour Care Marshmallow and Coconut.

During my regular raid through my local Sainsbury's hair aisle my eyes fell upon these Happy Hair Days shampoo and conditioners. I was doubtful about the quality of the products at first, mainly because i'd never heard of the brand and also because the packaging isn't brilliant looking but after reading they contain no nasty parabens or SLS (which ironically are found in most hair products even though they are awful for your hair) i could feel my first impressions changing. I then seen the scents of the products and was reeled in even more. Why wouldn't i want my hair to smell of blueberries and pears or marshmallow and coconut? The lids were popped open faster than a lightening bolt and i waited for their sweet aroma to stimulate my senses. Okay, so maybe i was asking for a bit much from a shampoo but they do smell lovely. Their subtle fragrances seem natural and fresh rather than false and overpowering.

One characteristic of SLS free shampoos is they don't seem to foam up much which, if your anything like me, is a big no no. I think it's a psychological thing of if it's not foaming up then it's not cleaning my hair (I have the same view on toothpaste. I hate those ones that hardly foam up! Anyway, i digress.) That is not a problem with the Happy Hair Days' shampoos. Their thin, watery consistency is quite deceiving as they foam up really well and leave my hair squeaky clean. Speaking of consistency the creaminess of the conditioner is to die for. It's so thick and makes your hair so easy to de-tangle; i love putting it in my hair. It must be said i didn't find the colour care conditioner did much for my hair but the smoothing one works perfectly for me.


Another thing i like is the company's ethics. On all their products they state"We believe in keeping things natural and are proud to claim our gentle hair care products are free from parabens, sodium laureth sulfates and mineral oils. We aren't perfect but we try to use "good stuff" where we can!" They are not claiming that their products are completely pure and chemical free but they're trying their best to make them as good for your hair as possible. It's honesty like this that instills trust in a brand and encourages me to be a loyal customer.

Overall Happy Hair Days really has left me happy. It leaves my hair smelling, feeling and looking fresh and clean and works well in conjunction with the Argan Oil I purchased from Boots. If you're thinking of purchasing Sainsbury's have it down from the regular price of £3.99 for 300ml to £2.66 (though the regular price is pretty reasonable in my opinion!)


Have your tried any of the Happy Hair Days products? Or any other paraben and SLS free shampoos and conditioners? Let me know what you think.
