No silly, not whipped cream as in whipped cream. Whipped cream as in Milk_Shake's leave-in conditioning foam! One of their best sellers on their website and definitely a new must have in my hair care routine.
I love everything about this product. The packaging, the colours, the name, the smell, the texture and the results! They really exceeded my expectations and they've gained a new fan of Milk_Shake hair care.
Milk_Shake is a hair care brand offering quality products whilst also maintaining the natural beauty of hair!
I'll just be quickly reviewing the Whipped cream leave-in foam conditioning product. The description says "no rinse conditioning & protective creamy foam for all hair types". I love conditioning products, so winning this product on Twitter made me squeal with happiness. :)
Just to clarify - my hair is damaged to hell from bleaching, dying and heat stylers. My hair is naturally frizzy curly and I straighten most days.
The instructions says "shake well and hold upside down to dispense", the top of the bottle actually looks like a whipped cream can (intentional i'm guessing!). The foam is coloured white, super smooth and firm in texture, but at the same time remains light and fluffy which means it wont weigh your hair down with thick greasy products. The smell of this 'whipped cream' is absolutely delicious. I want to eat it. It smells like vanilla ice cream.
I think what is really unique about the whole milkshake range is that the products have milk proteins included. Hence the name of the brand, product name and smell!
"Apply to clean damp hair, then style", which is exactly what I did. In terms of styling, I decided to scrunch the foam as if it were curling mousse onto my hair. The product immediately separated my hair into more manageable non frizzy curls, which I left to naturally dry.
Usually when I let my hair dry naturally, the curls are frizzy and become matted at the back of my hair. After using this product I was actually able to run my fingers through (even the back) without getting into a tangled mess. My hair hasn't been this soft in a long time!
The product didn't feel heavy on my hair at all and completely non greasy. Which is always an issue I find with conditioning products, some products just leave your hair oily and then you have to wash it again.
It did feel like a little goes a long way, as I only applied a small blob in my hand it just kept expanding, more than I expected! So it's worth the money in the long run.
I've taken a picture of my hair right now, which is more frizzy than it was because I've been combing through with my fingers all day as it's so soft! but it's still pretty curly! Every time my hair moves you get a gorgeous waft of vanilla aromas. It's absolutely beautiful. - They should make a body butter ;)
I think I'll be buying another can of this tasty smelling product once this one runs out! Yum yum.
The 200ml Whipped Cream product is £15.29 on their website, which you can find here.

I LOVE SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS
I'm a huge fan of curly hair, so when I discovered SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS on Twitter, I knew I had to get them immediately. I'd seen mixed reviews (mostly good) boasting big bouncy curls and wanted to see what results I'd achieve with my own hair.
SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS are rollers, get this, that you can SLEEP in. Just to clear up any confusion ;). They are your typical Velcro rollers but they have a cushioned foamy inside that you can squish down but will always retain they're original shape. The idea being that when you put your pretty little head to sleep, the rollers will squish down making it a more comfortable experience. The Velcro outer layer is not attached to the foamy middle allowing a grip to be placed in this gap to secure the roller in place.
I purchased the Luxury Pink Glitter Gift set containing;
- 20 Glitter Rollers
- 20 Kirby Grips and drawstring pouch
- DVD
- Drawstring Bag - To keep your rollers in
You can buy them from their site here;
The whole packaging and quality of the products were fantastic. I thought the glitter would be on both sides of the roller but i'm not going to loose sleep over it.
So before I explain how my first SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS experience was...
I'd just like to state that my hair has been dyed, bleached, damaged and frazzled since I was 15, i'm now 20 and it's damaged to hell. It's slowly recovering from my last blonde adventure. My hair is naturally curly, but I straighten it most days. If I leave my hair to naturally dry it turns into some kind of frizzy curly tumbleweed that is un-brush-able. I'm mentioning my hair quality because I've read a few reviews from people explaining about their hair being so dead that the rollers didn't do anything to their hair.
Now that's out the way, here we go!
I began by starting with freshly washed hair. Like really wet. Like I-just-got-out-the-shower-WET. I brushed my hair through to de-tangle any knots and then I began attempting to put in my SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS. I'm not the type of person that owns rollers so this was my first set in a long time.
The whole process of applying the rollers took about 20-30 mins and I fixed all of the rollers in place with grips - 2 for each roller to ensure a secure hold. I used no products just freshly washed wet hair. I left the rollers in from about 7pm till about 11am. Giving the SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS a good 16 hours to do something.
Now to put them to the real test. The question on everybody's minds is, 'where they comfortable to sleep in?'
The first time I slept in them, I'm not going to lie, I think it took me until 2am to finally fall asleep. I just couldn't get comfortable at all, especially with the Velcro itching my ears and neck all night. I couldn't sleep on my side, I had to stay on my back. The rollers just didn't squish as much as I'd of hoped them to. HOWEVER, I've tried these rollers at least 3 more times since then. Each time you find your own way of putting them in faster and in places where you know you'll feel comfortable when you sleep. I think it was just shock from sleeping with something around my head that made it difficult to sleep the first time. Now i'm used to it and wear them often! Don't give up first time round! GET YO MONIES WORTH GURLLLL! *snaps fingers*
The Results
I took these photos from the first time I used SLEEP-IN-ROLLERS...
