Heat + Humidity Help from Garnier Fructis.

My hair usually does not act very well in the humidity. While the heat can weigh it down, heat and humidity leave it just a plain mess. It gets flat and frizzy and simply out of control.

In one of my many gift bags I got this great hairspray from Garnier Fructis. It stayed in my bag until this weekend when we hit record high temperatures with high humidity.  I styled my hair as normal with one of my many smoothing creams and a bit of mousse. I was so not in the mood for the frizz, so I quickly sprayed my hair and set it with this Anti-Humidity Hairspray.

 

Not only did my hair stay in place, it was smooth and shiny and the best part - frizz free.

The way this works is due to it's special blend of fruit micro-waxes, that create an instant barrier against humidity. The waxes quickly adhere to hair as it wraps the hair strands with humidity-resistant formulas, leaving hair smooth and manageable with frizz control.  Plus the high shine makes hair look even better.

The spray smells nice, dries fast, and obviously performs well, or I would not be raving about it so much. And the large can is just $3.99 at drugstores. Woo hoo!

I plan on picking up some more of the Anti-Humidity styling products in the Garnier Fructis line next time I am at CVS. I see that there is a Styling Cream and Smoothing Milk available.

Help for Curls from Nexxus!

I have naturally wavy hair. It is very fine, so when I want to wear it curly it gets so weighed down and just looks - well, not so great. I have found that using some Curl Enchancing products from Nexxus, is helping my waves turn to curls and have them looking better.

 

Gorgeous Curls Styling Foam -  This has become my staple, even when not looking lot's of curls. The mousse helps to defines curls and keep away the frizz.  The formula is very lightweight and is designed to lock out moisture, while locking in curls. And the volume I get... beautiful.

Alluring Curls Styling Elixir - I use this specifically when I want the most curls and definition. It definitely helps to not only define my curls, but the frizz I usually get in some spots is virtually gone. It is a very lightweight formula too, almost like a creamy gel. I only use a bit and after my hair is dry, I add a bit more to the frizz prone areas.

Ask you stylist about Nexxus and which curl enhancing products would work best for you. 

Serious Overnight Hair Repair!

On my way home from New York last week with my goodie bag in hand (from the CEW Event I went to with Total Beauty), one of the first things I picked out of the bag was this much needed treatment from Jonathan Product. It is the IB Revitalizer Overnight Oil Treatment Spray.

With dry, brittle, colored, over processed and totally neglected hair, I was excited to use this. So far I have treated my locks to the treatment just twice and I am asking, "Where have you been all my life?".

 

The product is a light oil treatment, almost feeling like some silicone products. It is not at all thick like many oil treatments (think olive oil) that I have used previously. It sprays on, feeling quite cold I might add, and you just rub it through your hair. I think I did it three of four times to different sections of my head, making sure I distributed it evenly throughout.

I think the best way to use it as it is indicated to do so, is by leaving it in overnight. Simply use a towel over your pillow-case and sleep. When you wash it out in the morning and dry and style as normal, you will feel like you have just from a treatment with Jonathan himself. My hair is full of shine and brilliance, and my color is so true to color.

The only thing you need to be careful with is where you spray it. There is a bit of overspray and the first time I used it, my tile on the bathroom floor was very slippery. I learned, and sprayed the oil and applied in the shower (still on dry hair with no water, etc.) and just sprayed the shower down once I got out. 

It is probably important to point out that this, along with all of the Jonathan Product line, is 100% Vegan, so you know that oils are natural and full of nutrients.

IB Revitalizer Overnight Oil Treatment Spray sells for $44 at Sephora.com.
