Well if you didn't know by the title, the picture gives this review away. Yes, its the Redken Diamond Oil review ahhh the name just sounds so delicious to me. There's so much to say or write however you want to see it but this product has genuinely excited me. Hair oil over the past year or so has become incredibly popular its popularity given a kick start by the very famous Moroccan Oil. There are incredible advantages to using hair oil (decent ones obviously)
Just as the Diamond Oil was introduced I was looking at other hair oil reviews and was pretty much willing to give it a go and so then I went hair oil hunting, as you know or don't I'm a huge fan of the LookFantastic website and when they had the Diamond Oil on their front screen I just thought it was destiny....lol cringe sentence.
I never jumped on the hair oil waggon at first genuinely because the word OIL just makes me want to scream 'Eeek' and originally made me question 'What madness have they come up with now' This is where I eat my hat so here goes...hair oil is actually amazing and from using the Diamond oil I'm pretty damn impressed. if you don't believe me you can see for yourself.
I am a complete novice when it comes to hair and styling so I want something simple yet effective from the images above I don't think that can be questioned. I also like the slight scent it has, the only way i can describe it is that its a very light perfume smell but not overwhelming at all! Many people have commented on how my hair looks and feels nice, any excuse for someone to play with my hair...is that weird? it makes me sleepy and puts me in a happy place.
My favourite thing about the oil was how lightweight my hair still felt and most of all it didn't look like I hadn't washed it in months.
In terms of ingredients the oils that deliver 'a nourishing blend' are the Coriander,Camelina and apricot. With hopeful results of having hair that's manageable yet treated (that's the gist i get from reading the box anyway) Theres actually another type of diamond oil,I'm currently using the intense version - pictured below is the intense and original. If you have coarse hair then intense is for you. Its also said that the Diamond oil makes the hair '3 times stronger' I've only used it a few times so I wouldn't want to comment but it's lived up to everything else so far so why not!?
In all seriousness here's a list of what other ways you can use it...
- before shampooing as a treatment
- Leave it in overnight as a longer more intense treatment
- before blow drying
- Apply it to those horrid flyway's
- Apply it to a dry scalp as a scalp/root treatment
The question on everyone's lips is 'how much?' Well for 100ml you can pick it up from the LookFantastic website for £23.99 and that's with 25% off or the Feel Unique website for £28.25!
If you're on a tight budget a great suggestion is the Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil available from Boots for a fraction of the price at £9.99!
