Incredibly moisturising yet light, Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner is phenomenal. Although it is quite expensive (£7.49 for 250ml, from Amazon, the lowest price I could find), I can’t emphasise how much a little goes a long way. Giovanni's leave-in conditioner has a scent but it...
Harsh protein treatments stripped my hair, reducing my curls and coils to frizz. Left with a brittle and dry mess, I went on the hunt for a solution, spending a ridiculous amount of money on any anti-frizz product I could find. With each product, the...
I doubt I will ever love Shea Moisture but I must admit, I'm beginning to like the brand. Reflecting the expression, “third time lucky”, I have now tried three Shea Moisture products (all of different lines) and the third purchase is the first to impress....
Dear Shea Moisture, why must you leave me disappointed? I'm trying so hard to get to know and love you. Help me out please! This is my second Shea Moisture purchase (from a different line) and once again, I'm unimpressed. I was left incredibly disappointed...
It's a new year as well as the perfect time for a new scent. A Christmas present purchased by myself for myself, Elie Saab's Le Parfum is my first post and review of the year, 2016! I discovered Le Parfum several months ago. A product...

Hair gels play such a huge role in natural hair styling, from providing sleekness to defining curls. We all desire a flake free day, which is unfortunately rare. The hair gel that performs well flakes really badly and the hair gel that does not flake...
In every natural hair journey there will be highs and lows. It has become an intriguing movement rapidly generating interest, positive as well as negative. One negative is brands looking to capitalise, marketing products using any term in relation to natural hair. This is the...
No sulphates, no parabens and no silcones – guarantees all natural curly haired individuals have become accustomed to expect. The natural hair movement has inspired brands once dedicated to the relaxer to diversify their ranges, introducing products dedicated to natural hair care. A brand primarily...
There is nothing I love more than a sale and Superdrug has become my favourite destination for a beauty bargain! Whilst stocking up, I came across John Frieda’s Dream Curls Conditioner, a new addition to the Frizz Ease range. As a huge fan of the...
We all love freebies but never in a million years would I have expected to receive food! Yes, the Founder and Editor of Your Beauty First was sent three 150g bags of Jacob's Cracker Crisps to review (thank you Jacob's). I can most definitely see...
