Swatches, Review: Yes To Carrots – “Leave-in Conditioner,” (170g)

My hair has always been flat and fine, so to gain volume I blow dry my hair upside down on medium heat after every shower, but years of repetition has lead to the middle section towards the tips looking a bit dry with quite a number of frizzy looking flyaways.

So when I saw this product with its relatively decent price tag and 96% natural rating, I thought to give it a try!

A bit of background first:

For years I had been living in the dark ages when it came to things such as beauty products, grabbing whatever I found as my monthly shampoo. My hair was thin, limp and lacklustre with a itchy scalp and subsequent dandruff, quite a sad sight which I just pinned down to unluckiness.
