Top 10 New Hair Products for Beautiful Hair.

I am obsessed with my hair lately. For years I would pull my hair back into a pony tail. I mean, it was a styled pony, but I wasn't spending a ton of time on my hair styling routine. Now that my kids are older and I have a little more time to spend on myself in the morning, I am wearing my shoulder length hair down almost everyday. I am having so much fun trying different hairstyles and finding the right looks. I've been trying a lot of new hair products - washing, conditioning, volumizing, protecting, and styling to help me create and keep my styles in place and looking beautiful for days. These new hair products are not just new for me, these are new products and I highly recommend them if you're looking for beautiful hair this fall too.

1. Moroccanoil Thickening Lotion - Buy it from moroccanoil.com
For instantly fuller hair, I have been using this thickening lotion. Not only is it enriched with argan oil to moisturize and nourish hair for a soft, touchable finish, this product works to actually expand the hair. It's formulated with high-performance polymers and quinoa proteins, to plump and reinforce the hair from the inside which plumps up the exterior of each strand to smooth and strengthen it.  

2. DESSANGE Paris Balancing Pre-Shampoo - Buy it from Target stores and target.com
This first of a kind clay-mask pre-shampoo is like a skin treatment for the hair and scalp. It utilizes mineral clay to regulate oil production at the scalp plus skin purifying technology to revel long lasting, more healthy looking hair. I've been using it once a week and love how much better my hair look, feels and acts -- it styles better and I swear blow-outs last longer. I apply it just at the roots with the applicator brush then comb it through.

3. L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Nutri-Gloss High Shine Glossing Mist - Buy it from your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like Target
I use this as a final finishing mist for super shiny hair and I'm obsessed. This is an advanced treatment that contains glossing polymers so hair has a multi-faceted top coat-like effect.

4. L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Nutri-Gloss High Shine Shampoo and Conditioner - Buy it from your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like Target
I love showing off my hairstyles so it might as well shine! This shampoo and conditioner uses a technology called Glyco-Silk inspired by technology used in professional glossing treatments. Hair is laminated from the inside out and sealed with shine. Plus, I'm addicted to the smell.

5. 180PRO Smooth + Soft Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner - Buy it from Sally Beauty stores and sallybeauty.com
After a long summer, my hair is more damaged then ever. When I need extra smoothing, I have been using this shampoo and conditioner combo which gently cleanse and condition the hair as they work together to revive damaged, rough and frizzy hair. This shampoo and conditioner are like miracle workers for my hair as they repair up to 2 years of hair abuse in just one use.

6. 180PRO Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator - Buy it from Sally Beauty stores and sallybeauty.com
Made to work with the shampoo and conditioner above, this leave-in treatment is revolutionary. It actually targets the hair’s worst breaking points and locks in strength so that the shampoo and conditioner can get right at the damage to revive hair.

7. Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Dry Shampoo - Buy it from Sephora
I always extend my blow-out by two or three days with a dry shampoo. This first fine fragrance dry shampoo combines the warm and sensual fragrance of Nirvana Black with a dry shampoo. The scent is there, yet not overpowering.

8. Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Dry Shampoo - Buy it from Sephora
A sister scent to Nirvana Black, this dry shampoo combines hair-refreshing technology with the delicate scent of Nirvana White. I like this dry shampoo that uses rice starch and thickens up the hair as I extend my blowout.

9. Tangle Teezer - Buy it from Sephora or sallybeauty.com
Not a product per se, but I use this handy brush every day to comb through my wet hair. The flexible teeth make it simple to get this must have tool through even the most unruly hair whether wet or dry. This is also what I use to comb through deep conditioners, hair masks and products like DESSANGE Pre-Shampoo mentioned above.

10. Madison Reed Root Touch Up - Buy it from Sephora
I've talked a lot about my gray hairs popping up and covering my roots in between professional hair colors and a temporary solution is a must have for me. I just discovered this hair powder and it's super easy to use. I wouldn't use this all over or in the part, but when I just need a quick touch-up at the temples this is the perfect solution. It comes in seven shades from light blonde to black.

Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate + Eye-Brightening Concentrate.

You've heard about many topicals when it comes to your anti-aging skincare and it can be confusing. Figuring out the most effective topicals to incorporate into your routine is a task when there are so many brands coming at you with "this is best", "this is better", etc,. I think we all know about the importance of retinol, glycolic and that we need to use sunscreen everyday. But there is another very important ingredient that is essential for younger looking skin and that i Vitamin C. Vitamin C has proven efficacy at treating fine line and winkles.

I've used a few Vitamin C products in the past (Paula's Choice and SkinCeuticals) and make sure to use one daily. Kiehl's has a very popular product (and just sold it's 3 millionth bottle of this award winning formula) called Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate. Even more exciting, they also have Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate that they just launched.

Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate contains pure Vitamin C, which is L-Ascorbic Acid (look for that in the ingredient list). When applied topically, the formula helps skin recover from some of the more visible signs of skin aging. Vitamin C works to improve skins radiance and diminished the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate takes that same Vitamin C and pairs it with a few different ingredients to make it effective, yet gentle enough for the delicate eye area. Here, Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate uses the L-Ascorbic Acid to diminish the appearance of fine line and crow's feet and adds in Haloxyl™ to reduce inflammation and darkness and Lauroyl Lysine that offers a natural instant blurring effect.

I recently incorporated both the Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate and Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate products into my anti-aging routine and I am loving the results. In just over two weeks, I am seeing a noticeable improvement in my skins overall radiance; my skin is definitely more even in tone and texture. The skin on my neck is softer and more smooth - more so than it has been in years. The area around my eyes is brighter and looks more firm. I swear the fine lines around my eyes are improving already - especially the area beneath my eyes where nothing had been able to work before. I will be adding the Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate to my routine on a permanent basis.

Buy Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate ($79) and Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate ($44) at Kiehl's stores, online at kiehls.com and from fine stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque & Le Matte.

I have a problem. I am a lip product junkie. I don't think I can leave a store, whether it be a drugstore, mass retailer (Target, Walmart, etc.) or department store without picking up a new lippie. I even leave the Dollar Store with a new lip balm every time I head in there too. I just cannot resist a beautiful lipcolor. It literally changes the way a woman looks and feels about herself. When I saw the new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque & Le Matte I knew I would be looking for more of these beauties at the drugstore because they are very unique. In a lip pen form in both matte and glow formulas, these highly pigmented shades are irresistible.

Before I get into each of the new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche formulas, I just need to say how easy these sleek lip pens are to use. The pens are portable and twist up with a sharpened tip. But they don't apply like a "pencil", they are more pen-like as these are creamy and easy to apply. That's because the formulas are infused with Argan Oil and Safflower Seed Oil for a soft and smoothing appearance delivering deep hydration. In addition to that, nourishing oils, La Laque and La Matte also contains a blend of Vitamin E and antioxidants so lips are healing while wearing. That is always a good thing. And color payoff is incredible with both formulas - long wearing too.

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque

La Lacque is a super smooth high-gloss finish lip color. Like I said, it applies easily and is super unexpected right out of the pen applicator. I get six plus hours of wear of high shine color. There are five shades of La Lacque.

• Choco-Lacque
• Lacque-y You
• Lacque-y Charm
• Lacquerized
• Lacque and Roll

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Le Matte

Le Matte is somewhat more pigmented with a comfortable, creamy feel. This is full on color with a matte finish, but not dry, matte. The colors are beautiful and it's very long-wearing. The full on color lasts about 6 hours with some fading but there is some color left behind that lasts most of the day. There are also five shades of Le Matte.
