P!nk at the O2!

I saw P!nk at the O2 this week, The Truth About Love Tour.  It was a spectacular show, it was awesome, better than awesome.  She is a brilliant performer and show person.  She also rocks short hair really well, at the moment kind of longer and floppy on top but shaved at the sides.  Certainly made me want to chop mine off again and dye it platinum!

I have been taking Biotin for 2 weeks now, which is a supplement from Holland & Barrett.  On the bottle it says "supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair and mucus membranes."  So have I noticed a difference? Well I am not convinced it has helped my hair, I can't comment on my nails as I wear acrylics so that leaves my skin.  I do think my skin has improved a little since taking these, my skin feels softer, any breakouts seem to clear up quicker and overall the odd rashes I get up my arms seem to have improved noticeably.  I will not however re-purchase these particular supplements for a couple of reasons.  Firstly I don't like the "new smaller tablet", they are fiddly and chalky in my opinion which I personally find makes them harder to swallow.  Secondly I feel Biotin is quite expensive, with various holland & barrett promotions the price ranges from £7 - £12ish although I do believe its in their 1p sale from time to time.  I feel the packaging is wasteful, the bottle is roughly 5 inches tall and these tiny tablets barely cover the bottom of the bottle.  And finally I feel I would get just as much benefit from a hair, skin & nails supplement that costs £2-3 from other retailers.

I have been using fast shampoo and conditioner daily for a week.  I won't review those just yet as I want give it 4 weeks before I comment on whether I feel they have helped my hair actually grow, but I will do a general product review less results next time.

My hairdresser came by on Monday but all she really did was blend my shorter side so it looked less like it has a step cut into it and trimmed my side sweep fringe.  I think that shorter side is going to feel like its taking ages to grow down.  I am loving seeing my natural blonde colour growing through though.
