Calm Out-of-Control and Out-Of-Condition Hair

July 27, 2008 by Courtney · Leave a Comment 

Turn frizzy, flyaway hair smooth and sexy with LUSH Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze Hair Treatment ($20.45). Use this treatment to hydrate your hair, enhance color and improve shine. Olive and brazil nut oils deep condition hair to add back moisture and smooth the cuticle, which diminishes frizz. The addition of red henna infusion gives you reflective shine while adding subtle highlights to darker hair. Apply generously to dry hair, leaving on anywhere from twenty minutes to overnight, then rinse. Follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner. The smoky, floral scent of jasmine and ylang ylang has amazing lasting power, even becoming “reactivated” each time you wash! Use the treatment weekly (or less often, if you wash less), and even as a styling aid to add extra shine and scent.

Add texture and definition to curly hair with Kusco Murphy Lavender Hair Creme ($35.00). This pomade will promote curl when used on wet hair, and will add more texture and fullness to dry hair.

Outsmart Rainy Day Frizz!

Bad weather doesn’t have to mean a bad hair day! Follow these easy tips to prepare yourself for what Mother Nature might throw at you (and your hair!) :

-Apply a frizz-fighting serum to towel-dried hair. Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute.
-Blow hair dry using a large round brush (like this one, $12.99)- this smooths the cuticle from root to tip.
-Straighten one inch sections of hair to make your locks more resilient against humidity.
-Use a headband or pull hair into a low bun for the commute. This prevents your hair from getting windblown on the way to your destination.
-When you get indoors, let your hair down and admire your soft, shiny style!

A blowdryer can be a necessary evil. Protect your hair from damaging heat with the Hot Sock Diffuser.

The Hot Sock forms a barrier between your hair and direct heat, which also prevents frizz and flyaways.

The best part? Universal diffusers can cost as much as $50 or more, but the Hot Sock is an affordable $5.99!

My Love Affair with the Karmin Hair Straightener

June 27, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Lately, when it comes to my hair, I have seemed to just settle with the fact that I do not have time to deal with it; it will be frizzy and up in a pony tail. I just don’t have the time on my hands to style my hair daily as a single mother of two young children. Then one day, as the children slept I decided to look up some information on a hair iron that a close friend of mine was raving about. Had she not lived 100’s of miles away, I would have just tried it out for myself; however, I had to go on her word.

I was a little skeptical to be honest, I mean, could a hair straightener really be the end to all of my frizz and boring hair days? What about humidity, rain and baby spit up? After reading some great reviews on the website my friend bought her flat iron on, My Hair Styling Tools, I decided what’s a $100 for a perfect hair day everyday? Besides, they promised, if I did not like it, I could send it back for a full refund.

Within less than a week my packaged arrived, I was very excited to be honest, and couldn’t wait to try it out! I plugged it in, and it was hot within seconds and ready to go. I sectioned off my hair and started straightening my hair section by section. As the iron smoothly glided down each section I became more and more amazed with the results it was producing. When I finished my entire head, about 10 minutes for my shoulder length thick hair, I stood there and stared at myself in the mirror. I was shocked! My hair was soft, shiny, smooth and FRIZZ FREE!

I couldn’t stop touching it, running my fingers through it, why had I waited so long? All I ever need for perfectly frizz free hair was a professional hair straightener and 10 minutes?! Needless to say, I am in love with my new Karmin Hair Iron, my hair has never looked better, rain or shine and my kids have not suffered from the 10 minutes I take every other day to spend on me styling my hair!
