A beauty writer tested Give Me Cosmetics' seven-piece haircare set - which includes the hair mask used by Emma Bunton - to restore life to her bleached, brittle hair
At the start of the year, I decided to lighten my naturally dark hair with subtle caramel brown tones. To avoid a home hair disaster, I entrusted this task to my hairdresser.
Despite loving my lighter locks, the bleach and dye have left my hair looking dull and feeling dry and brittle, even with regular hairdresser visits. In an attempt to bring some life and shine back to my hair, I've been using Give Me Cosmetics The Full Haircare Set.
This seven-piece gift set, worth 0567.93, is usually priced at 0534.99 but is currently on sale for 0519.99, especially for Black Friday. The rejuvenating haircare kit includes a detangling brush, shampoo and conditioner, hair mask, leave-in conditioning cream, heat defence spray, and serum, reports the Liverpool Echo .
Surprisingly, all of the products are full-sized , making the set an excellent value for money. I wash my hair twice a week, so these products should hopefully last me for months. They all contain argan oil and coconut oil, natural ingredients that are like a big drink for hair.
The packaging has clearly had a lot of thought put into it. The vibrant colours really stand out from the products you typically see on the shelves of Boots and Superdrug.
The products are clearly labelled and aptly named, making it easy for even a haircare novice to understand their intended use. The first product I tried was the detangling brush, which is by far the best of its kind I've used.
Designed to cleanse hair before washing, the thin bristles effectively removed any dry skin from my scalp, as well as residue from hairspray and dry shampoo. Following this, I used the in-shower products: shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask.
The Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Shampoo has a subtle bubble gum aroma, which I found quite pleasant. Both the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner are free from parabens; while this is better for my scalp and hair, it means I didn't experience the soap suds I'm accustomed to when washing my hair.
I've used it several times since receiving it, and it leaves my hair feeling clean without being excessively dry, unlike some other shampoos. The standout product for me is the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Conditioner , which is my favourite item in the kit.
It's the thickest formula I've ever encountered in a hair conditioner. My locks lapped it up, particularly the ends, which are as dry as straw.
I anticipated the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask to be similar or even thicker than the conditioner, but it's more akin to the shampoo. This is the same hair mask that Emma Bunton swore by when she couldn't use salons during lockdown, so I was eager to see if I could replicate the Spice Girl's stunning tresses.
Personally, I reckon the other products outshine this one, especially as I was a big fan of the conditioner's thick formula. The hair mask appears to be thinner in consistency, allowing users to apply it to dry hair, leave it for a few hours, and then tie it up in a bun.
The Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask is a customer favourite and best-seller - as well as a firm favourite of Michelle Keegan - so perhaps my hair just favoured the other products. In line with hydration, this hair kit also includes an Argan Oil and Castor Oil Hair Repair Cream, conveniently packaged in a pump-style bottle for easy application without overdoing it.
It's packed with Castor Oil, Argan Oil, vitamins B3 and B5, and strengthening protein. The kit also features a heat defence and a serum. The serum is quite thick. I used two pumps on my fairly long hair, and it proved a bit too much. A little certainly goes a long way.
In conclusion, this is one of the best haircare ranges I've used all year. It's incredibly hydrating and nourishing, making it a blessing for coloured, bleached hair or those who frequently use heat on their tresses. I'm planning to snap up a few more of these kits while they're discounted as Christmas gifts.
Alternatively, there are several other haircare sets from various brands up for grabs. This Color Wow Dream Smooth kit is currently going for 0521.75 at Cult Beauty. It includes a shampoo, a conditioner and a shine spray.
Meanwhile, this Redken Strength Repair shampoo and conditioner set is 0536 from Boots. Designed for damaged locks, it is currently on sale down from 0547.30.

一位美容专栏作家试用了Give Me Cosmetics的七件套护发套装——其中包含艾玛·邦顿（Emma Bunton）同款发膜——旨在为她受损脆弱的漂染秀发重焕生机。
年初时，我决定用柔和的焦糖棕色来提亮天生的深色头发。为了避免在家染发可能引发的灾难性后果，我将这项任务交给了我的发型师。
尽管我钟爱自己浅色的秀发，但频繁漂染让发丝变得黯淡无光、干燥易断，即便定期去美发店护理也无济于事。为了让头发重新焕发光彩，我最近开始使用Give Me Cosmetics品牌的全套护发系列。
据《利物浦回声报》报道，这款原价0534.99英镑、价值0567.93英镑的七件套护发礼盒，现正以0519.99英镑的特价促销，专为黑色星期五活动推出。焕活护发套装包含解结发梳、洗发水和护发素、发膜、免洗护发乳、隔热喷雾以及精华液。
令人惊喜的是，所有产品都是正装规格，这套组合的性价比极高。我每周洗头两次，这些产品应该能用上好几个月。它们都含有摩洛哥坚果油和椰子油，这些天然成分就像给头发喝了一大杯营养饮品。
这款包装显然经过精心设计。其鲜艳的色彩在Boots和Superdrug货架上常见的商品中显得格外醒目。
这些产品标识清晰、命名贴切，即便是护发新手也能轻松理解其用途。我尝试的第一款产品是顺发梳，它是我迄今为止用过的最好用的同类产品。
这款产品专为洗发前清洁设计，细密的刷毛能有效去除我头皮上的干皮屑，以及发胶和干洗喷雾的残留物。之后，我使用了淋浴时的护发产品：洗发水、护发素和发膜。
这款摩洛哥坚果油与椰子油洗发水带有淡淡的口香糖香气，我觉得相当怡人。其洗发水及护发素均不含对羟基苯甲酸酯类防腐剂——虽然这对我的头皮和头发更友好，但也意味着洗头时没能体验到以往习惯的丰富泡沫。
自从收到这款产品后，我已经使用过好几次了。与其他一些洗发水不同，它能让我的头发感觉清爽却不至于过度干燥。其中最让我惊艳的是摩洛哥坚果油与椰子油护发素，它是我在这个套装中最喜爱的单品。
这是我用过的护发素中最浓稠的一款。我的头发——尤其是干如稻草的发梢——如饥似渴地吸收了它。
我本以为这款摩洛哥油和椰子油发膜的质地会与护发素相似甚至更浓稠，但实际上它更接近洗发水的质感。这款发膜正是艾玛·伯顿（Emma Bunton）在疫情期间无法去沙龙时极力推荐的产品，因此我迫切想试试能否复制这位辣妹组合成员令人惊艳的发质。
就个人而言，我认为其他产品比这款更胜一筹，尤其是我非常钟爱护发素浓稠的质地。这款发膜的质地似乎更为稀薄，使用者可以将其涂抹在干发上，静置数小时，然后盘成发髻。
摩洛哥坚果油与椰子油发膜是备受顾客青睐的畅销产品——也是米歇尔·基根（Michelle Keegan）的心头好——或许我的头发只是更偏爱其他产品。为满足保湿需求，这套护发套装还包含一款摩洛哥坚果油与蓖麻油修护发乳，采用泵压式瓶装设计，便于精准取用，避免浪费。
该产品富含蓖麻油、摩洛哥坚果油、维生素B3和B5以及强化蛋白。套装还包含热防护精华和一款修护精华液。精华液质地浓稠，我在自己较长的头发上使用了两泵，结果发现用量稍显过多——确实只需少量即可达到显著效果。
总而言之，这是我全年用过最出色的护发系列之一。它具有卓越的补水和滋养效果，堪称染发、漂发或频繁使用热造型工具人士的福音。趁着圣诞折扣季，我打算多囤几套这样的礼盒作为节日礼物。
此外，还有多个品牌的不同护发套装可供选择。这款Color Wow梦幻柔顺套装目前在Cult Beauty的售价为21.75英镑，内含洗发水、护发素和亮发喷雾。
与此同时，这款Redken Strength Repair洗发水和护发素套装在Boots的售价为36英镑。该产品专为受损发质设计，原价47.30英镑，目前正在促销中。
