Whenever I’ve mentioned the lovely Scandalous products lately I’ve broke into that Mis-teeq song. The products are gorgeous: simple eyecatching packaging in matte black and hints of bright fuschia pink.  After getting my hands on the product I felt my review wasn’t enough, so when my boyfriend found the big box of products I was amazed when he said he wanted to try them for me (in exchange for keeping the shampoo and conditioner!). BRILLIANT!

Ed’s hair before the products, not much shine, dry and brittle hair. Heat has really taken its toll!

Ed isn’t a typical lad really. He loves hair products and has had every hair colour under the sun (blue streaks…red streaks…platinum blonde…I could go on). He’ll kill me for this but hes a bit of a pretty boy and has been since I met him about 5 years ago. He loves the top brands for hair and when I told him of this up and coming brand he jumped at the chance. The scent is really suited to a man I think too, so it was only right that he tested the products!

Really well branded – cant miss these products

Ed chose to use the Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner, Hair Serum, Heat Protection Spray and Hairspray. After trying out both the shampoo and conditioner in the shower I got the lowdown…Ed’s first opinions immediately out of the shower:

• The smell and texture of the Gorgeously Rich Moisuring Shampoo and Conditioner reminded him of the hairdressers.
• Left his hair feeling smooth but not too smooth.
• Felt he had used a really professional set of products!
• Feels volumous even when wet.

It was time to apply the Seductive Shimmer Serum. The serum promised to tame and calm without overloading the hair and to create a dazzling shine. Ed’s immediate opinions upon applying the serum:

• Being a smoker, he was particularly impressed that the serum contained Citronella which stops the hair picking up smells of smoke which Ed is concious about.
• Felt like hair will dry well and maintain a lengthy shine.
• Serum wasn’t as sticky as previously perceived.

Seemed to tick all the boxes there! With all the products applied to wet hair, it was time to get cracking with the drying and straightening. After drying his hair the vote was in:

• Hair “went in” so well straighteners will be barely needed!
• Really thick locks.
• Feels revitalised!
• Feels soft but manageable.

The Red Alert Heat Protection spray was then used immediately after hairdrying. He spritzed it a few times all over his hair before he applied his straighteners. I think this is a product where you will see the benefits through several uses. But the Protection spray promises to withstand high temperatures which is perfect for the use of daily hair straightening; the temperatures they reach are sky high!

The Flaunt It Hairspray was used as the final product in the Scandalous mission. Ed really raved about this and thought it gave a firm hold, but without the hair looking too”crisp”. The “memory foam” effect particularly impressed him too. He fought to keep this but I wasn’t having any of it, I want it for myself!

So calling all boys: these Scandalous products aren’t just for girls! I found the scent to be unisex, a fragrance which is musky and feminine but also has masculine tones. Perfect for Ed and other men too.

Ed’s deciding vote………a massive 9/10, this could be Superdrug’s next big thing! Plus they’re now priced at £3.50 on the Superdrug Site…grab a bargain!
