Lee Stafford- Hair Growth Treatment Review

Lee Stafford- Hair Growth Treatment Review


Okay so I will admit, I haven't been very nice to my hair at all over the years... Since year 7 (I'm now at university) I have been putting all kinds of dye on my hair; bleach, peroxide, browns, reds and even black. I also went through a stage of constant straightening and backcombing. Overall, I have been very mean and now my hair is having its payback on me by falling out, splitting and thinning, dramatically!

So now it's time to apologise and make it up to my hair in hope it will love me once again. Hopefully after these treatments my hair will be smooth, manageable, strong and maybe if I'm lucky start to grow! Over the next few weeks I will post a couple of products I am testing to see if they improve the condition on my hair. For now though I am going to review the Lee Stafford- Treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length (mouthful). 

Lee Stafford- Hair Growth Treatment (Boots £7.99)

Having getting V.stressed about my hair I consulted one of my lovely friends who has the most amazingly thick, shiny hair. I asked for her secrets and she told me she uses the Lee Stafford - Hair that never seems to grown past a certain length. Now, she went from shoulder length, highlighted hair to a thick mane of long dark hair in a matter of months, so, Lee Stafford must have been doing something right for her!

At this I went and purchased a pot from boots. The tub isn't very large at all and at £7.99 isn't cheap! However, I believe that Lee Stafford is a higher quality brand than the adverse Dove or Loréal hair care lines so this price was expected. Admittedly, yes, this is pricey, but I guess price is what you pay when you don't look after your hair ! *cough cough, Emily*

To have maximum results from this product it is required that it is left in for 5 minutes, so ensure you have plenty of time for this treatment otherwise it's just a a waste. It also suggest to use the Lee Stafford growth shampoo and conditioner- which you can if you like but with me constantly moving from home, to uni to my boyfriend's there is just no point I use TRESemmé  and this works fine for me.

'If the Earth is not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers'

How it works: Hair goes through a natural cycle. Each strand is unanchored from it's root every 1-3 years. If you're lucky and your hair has a long cycle (3 years) the hair will grow longer than average. But if you feel your hair gets to that point (usually a couple of inches past the shoulder) were it stops growing then your hair has a shorter life cycle. This treatment prolongs the anchored phase to promote hair growth. To help this, the mask conditions the scalp, soothes dry/split ends and strengthens hair at a cellular level.

I have been using this product each time I have washed my hair (every other day) and I  am super impressed with the outcome. My hair has a healthy shine to it, my ends have smoothed and I have noticed that less hairs have been dropping out. I can confirm that I have not been blessed with hair like Rapunzel since using this product but I can say it has set the foundations for healthy growth in the future which is what I wanted. Blemishes and flaking as vanished since using the treatment so to me it's evident that something is working. It suggests that once this product has improved the condition of the hair (after less that one tub my hair has improved) begin to use as a weekly treatment. However, I am still going to use this for each wash until I am 100% confident my hair could not get in an any better condition.

** Just as an update I have been using this product for a good few months now and definite improvements have been made. My new hair growth is much stronger and I have found my hair is growing much longer than previously before. I must admit that my hair hasn't grown faster, so if you're looking for a product that does that then this is not the thing for you. Overall I am impressed with the treatment and I continue to use it weekly. ***

The down side to this product is the size. I would say this lasts on an average of 3 weeks, if I wash my hair every other day, so it gets me through about 11 treatments. I have worked this out to be about 73p a treatment, which is reasonable but £7.99 does seem lots of money when you're stood paying for it at the till in boots! 

I would strongly recommend this treatment for those who have or do frequently dye their hair or repeated apply a lot of heat simply because it nourishes the hair and scalp helping to restore it back to its original condition. For those looking for hair growth, please don't expect miracles from this product. It does take time for the hair to restore before it begins to grow, so if you do buy this product  be patient it will eventually speed up growth! 

If anyone has found any cheaper alternatives to this product, I would be happy to know what! Please leave any comments and questions below!
