Custom Headers on Blog Posts Page

If the conditional works when using is_page( 'products' ), but does not work when using is_page( 'blog' ), then that means that WordPress isn’t finding a static page with the slug blog. First thing to do: verify your slug name.

A second alternative is that the static page blog is using a custom page template, and that the custom page template is calling a different header file, resulting in the above code never getting executed. Are you using a custom page template for the static page blog? If so, you’ll need to look at the custom page template file.

Edit

From your comment below:

i forgot to mention that as home is set as my static page in the admin panel the blog page is set as my blog page.

There’s your answer. I should have picked up on it, but somehow didn’t. Take a look at the Template Hierarchy. You’re using the static page blog as your Blog Posts Index, Instead of using is_page( 'blog' ), you need to be using is_home(), which returns true when displaying the Blog Posts Index.
