Richard Ward
The Chelsea Collection
I was very thrilled to hear from Twitter, about a new hair care collection that has been exclusive to all Waitrose stores. Created by the celebrity hairdresser, Richard Ward, the Chelsea collection hit the shelves and I've been very impressed with my own product samples sent out for review.
All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.
I've been excited to try out these products of course, seeing as I love to keep my hair maintained and by trial and error, hair products for me is sometimes a struggle when ensuring everything is covered, e.g. dry hair, thick hair, coloured and highlighted maintaining.
Initial Thoughts
Richard Ward Keratin Sleek Shampoo
-£5.99 for 250ml use within 12 months of purchase-
Upon receiving this product, I instantly noticed the design and style used for this collection. 'Sleek' and sophisticated the range had a complete professional feel which was actually Richard's intention, he wanted this range of his products to bring a professional salon feel to anyone's home.
The shampoo contains his key ingredient, Keratin, which helps to create healthy hair by binding and interacting to re-build hair’s natural fibres to give the lustrous look Richard is famous for creating.
When using the shampoo I was delighted by the subtle yet fragrant scent, also containing Lychee and Strigosa seed I massaged and rinsed doing this twice, feeling how strong my hair became in a matter of moments! The texture of my hair while washing felt smooth and tangle free.

Initial Thoughts
Richard Ward Keratin Sleek Conditioner
-£5.99 for 250ml use within 12 months of purchase-
After thoroughly rinsing out the shampoo, I then used the conditioner and applied as directed, massaging from root to tips for 3 minutes. The scent even of the conditioner was beautiful with notes of amber, white jasmine, grapefruit, pear and apple! Using the shampoo and conditioner together personally gives the overall effect of glossier and stronger hair. Since the weather has been pretty up and down here within the UK, My hair has been awful for frizz and de-hydration so this really has been a hair repair!
After blow drying my hair I noticed how glossy it looked and gave my hair more life and strength.

Initial Thoughts
Richard Ward Keratin Rehab intense rejuvenating treatment
-£5.99 for 150ml use within 12 months of purchase-
The keratin rehab is a treatment which I also received to try; Its a conditioning treatment with vitamin and silk protein for intense re-hydration. I used this after washing my hair twice with the sleek shampoo, using a generous amount of this treatment through length to tips. It advices 5 minutes in terms of leaving it on the hair before washing it out, or if your hair is in need of complete deep re-hydration 30 minutes maximum. This should be only used every two weeks for the best results!
I personally shall not be using this so often with the shampoo too as alone it has better results for my hair, but of course this shall differ with different hair types!
