Morning Saviour: A review of Lee Stafford, Poker Straight, Night Patrol

This product has helped me realise a major down fall in my hair routine.  I have long hair and not enough time to follow much of a hair care routine on a morning; therefore, I have to sort my hair out each night before sleeping.  Something I hadn’t noticed until recently, although it sounds pretty obvious, is how much better my hair looks straight after blow drying and how rubbish and lifeless my hair feels/looks on a morning.  So, in effect I make my hair look nice every night, go to sleep and the hair demons appear each night to mess up all of my hard work.

Night Patrol, £2.00 (200ml), Boots.

In light of my dilemma, I have happened to come across from Lee Stafford’s Poker Straight range, Night Patrol.  I need to admit the only reason I bought this product was due to an offer in Boots, it was a totally impulsive buy and I’m ashamed to say I only bought this product due to having liked other products within this range.  So, when I did read the bottle, initially I put this somewhere out of sight and thought what a pointless product with a mental note to stop buying pointless rubbish.

One evening I decided to give this spray a whirl, or a spritz, and believe my initial thoughts were a little on the harsh side.  The front of the bottle states:
‘Helps keep your hair straight as you sleep.  So you’re up up and away swifter than a super hero’.

The crunch of this spray is that it contains style memory, a long-lasting control polymer that smooths the hair and helps it stay in place overnight and directions are literally to spray onto dry hair, as you would a perfume.
The smell of this product is nice and like a mild perfume, it smells like a product I want to use on my hair.  I spray this on my hair and leave to settle before going to bed.  I belive my hair feels softer, ends look and feel less dry, after using this spray.  It isn’t something I use every night, but do find myself wishing I had done.  I feel like this is a very unique product and I don’t have any similar products to compare with Night Patrol.  For me this does go some way to offering a solution to the lack of time on a morning and stopping my very naturally straight hair changing its mind and turning into a curly mane.

This works for me personally, but I do already have very straight hair naturally.  Boots are selling this in miniature, take-away, bottles at the moment for the summer, suggesting there is a market of loyal users needing to take this on holiday in a convenient size.  So, the moral I have learnt from buying pointless ‘rubbish’ is …  why-the hair demons- not?
