I don’t know about you but I go through phases of loving my crazy, unruly curly hair for a while, because it’s my natural hair and so much easier to maintain than straightening/styling it every day, and then there’s phases where you won’t see me out and about unless I’ve spent an hour getting my hair into a straight, perfectly curled kind of way.
But I’m notoriously lazy.
Like, I can’t be bothered playing with my huge array of makeup things because, well, it’s just effort. Even when I go out, I don’t bother with putting on much makeup. But that might also be down to the fact that I have oily skin and nothing really sticks (and I end up smudging it anyways once I’m drunk and carefree/-less). Same goes for my hair. I’m way too lazy to give a crap about my hair – most of the times. So up my hair goes in a knot even though I hate my billboard-sized forehead. But lazy wins over vanities – at least most times.
But recently, I’ve been loving to style my curly hair, and the reason why is Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Finishing Touch Cream.
I bought this by total, complete idiotic accident. Like not in a “this looks interesting, let’s give this a go” kind of way. I was looking for a hair mask because I don’t see the point of using a conditioner, when I can use a hair mask.
And I spotted this for £1 and I think that’ll be the reason why I just grabbed that little tub. A hair mask for £1? From Herbal Essences that always smells divine? FUCK YES!
So I got home, uber-excitedly unpacking my “prey”, until I spotted its label said Finishing Touch Cream. Oh bollocks, I thought, I can’t be bothered with that. But what the heck, right, I already bought it, I might as well try it.
And BOY AM I GLAD I DID.
I love it so much, the next time I was in the same store, I bought 3 tubs straight away.
Because it makes my hair look awesome. Not in a “ohhh you look like you’ve spent a lot of time making yourself look impeccable”. I don’t really like that look anymore, or at least not at the moment.
This finishing touch cream is more than just that. It doesn’t just make my hair shine or whatever, it gives my curls perfect definition. DID YOU READ THAT? PERFECT DEFINITION!!
When you have curly hair, more often than not, it’s not the beautiful curls you see in magazines or on telly. It’s messy, it’s frizzy, it’s unruly, IT’S A LOT OF FREAKING EFFORT. Which is why I’ve always resorted to the “I tie my hair up and stop giving a crap” look.
But now, I get excited about doing my hair. I used to avoid washing my hair, telling myself it was healthier for my hair anyways. Getting up earlier in the morning to do my hair? WORST. KIND. OF. NIGHTMARE.
But now? You’ll find me happily jump out of bed, and get excited about doing my hair.
Because whatever I do to it, as long as it involves this Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly cream, I’m gonna be ok. No, scratch that, I’m gonna look freaking awesome (at least in my book).
So, my little grasshoppers, if you have curly hair, THEN GET YOUR ASS DOWN TO THE NEAREST SHOP THAT DOES HAIR CARE PRODUCTS AND GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS, RUN HOME AND BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOUR HAIR CAN ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE.

Maria I love this stuff so much! I discovered it a little while ago and have been embracing my curls quite a lot because of it! xxx
aaaaaaahhh woooomannnn why did you never tell me about this heavensent thing??? miss youuuu xxxx
Great post! I must try this as I am also super lazy with my hair! xx
i can’t promise it works for everyone, but it certainly works for me :) :) :)
Oh wow, you’ve sold me on this! Definitely going to have a go with this now. I’m currently using Boot’s own make and it’s pretty good but I’m not amazed at it, so will definitely try this :) x
you already have the most gorgeous curls though lily, whatever you use whenever i meet you, it’s working :D
This sounds like an amazing product and I am definitely going to try it out. I have mad and crazy curly hair and never straighten it, so any thing that makes the curls look better without looking over styled is just what I need.
omg in that case you should definitely try it :) it’s amazing, defines your curls brilliantly without getting crusty/crunchy (unless you use too much of course) xxx
i love the product!

It’s amazing, right? I wish I had discovered it sooner :)
I’ve not tried this one yet since I’m a bit sceptical towards Herbal Essence’s products – I find that they dry out my hair but this sounds great! Xx
Just try it – it doesn’t really make my hair extra soft or shiny or whatever really, like, it doesn’t add to my hair’s quality if that makes sense but my hair looks gorgeous now because of my super defined curls :)
I like Herbal Essences, their products always smell so nice. I can’t wait to try this, it sounds very good!! x
i’m sooo glad i accidentally purchased this hah it’s brilliant, i’ve now gone through like 2 jars already, but i have another 4 backups hah :)

I use this curl creme every day and it’s perfect for my hair and used to be so easy to get hold of until about a year ago when it all disappeared from the shelves and I can’t find it anywhere anymore!! Argh! Does anyone know anywhere that still does it?
I’ve used this product until recently, when I too discovered that it was no longer on the shelves. I have found that you can order it at Boots, or go to Asda, according to Google they stock it. I’m off tomorrow to get some!
