Curly girls – have you ever tried CoWashing? If not, it might be the answer to your hair dreams!

As any curly girl knows, moisture is the key to bouncy, defined curls, and CoWashing is a fantastic way to maintain moisture and get fabulous curls.

The As I am Coconut CoWash is a light no-suds conditioning cream that spreads easily throughout your hair and removes residue, including all of the things you’ve used to style and maintain your coils and curls.

Check out what some of our customers had to say about the product:

Tanika:

“This is the best stuff ever!!! I get so many compliments on my curls when I use this!!! My curls fall nicely and look bouncy and full of life. I am going to stock up on this and it’s a great deal, too!!! Everything about this is A++++++++++. You would be a fool not to try it!”

 

Nell’s Curls:

 

“This product does exactly what it says it will do. It made detangling a breeze for my 3c/4a natural texture hair. It provided slip and my tangle teezer slid right through my thick curls. I used this with Dr. Miracles leave-in conditioner from their new line of natural products, because the Sallys I went to did not have the As I Am Leave-In. It is definitely worth a try.”

What about you? Do you CoWash?

Do you use a heat protector when you flat iron your hair? If not, you should! Repeated heat styling without one can really zap the life out of your hair, that’s why it’s SO IMPORTANT to use a heat protector. Enough with the lecturing, right? =)

Anyway, I have a new heat protector I wanted to share with you called Flat Iron Addict. It not only protects your hair from heat damage, it provides a light hold and 72 hour frizz control (or until your next shampoo). I especially love that it’s an aerosol so I get light, even coverage without any overly-saturated spots.

It’s also majorly on sale ($5.99) for the month of March. Be sure to check it out!

I have always been a beauty junkie. I love trying new products and trends and reinventing my look. It’s like playing dress-up—you can be whoever you’d like to be.

This is, of course, something that most men just don’t understand. I have become used to my boyfriend’s constant jokes about the number of beauty products in my cabinets. I have come to accept the fact that he will never understand my excitement over products that make my hair behave, make my face look flawless, make my nail polish last longer….whatever the flavor of the week happens to be.

He has always thought that men’s hair products are all the same, but I think I finally managed to convert him by bringing home some products from Beyond the Zone’s new Retro Vinyl line. The Retro Vinyl Working Paste gives him the hold and texture he wants during the day without being crunchy, and I love the way it smells!

I also brought him some of the Retro Vinyl Firm Finish Gel, which he used the other day when we had an evening event to go to and he wanted to get that shiny, slicked back look that all the Hollywood leading men have been wearing lately. I’ve never seen him look so handsome! Needless to say, I’ve created a monster.

It cracks me up to see that he, in all his stubbornness, is now carefully styling his hair each day with such sophisticated-looking products, but I try not to comment on it—I wouldn’t want him to go back to the old stuff!

We all do it.  We push the snooze once, twice, three times.  When you’re in that half-asleep daze, you can convince yourself that you really only need twenty minutes to get ready for work…right?  Somehow, I get the feeling that I do this more often than most people. 

Sometimes by the time I get myself out of bed, I realize that there is no possible way for me to shower, dry my hair, do my makeup, put together a suitable outfit, and get to work on time.  That’s one of the reasons why dry shampoo has become my #1 life-saver. 

Don’t get me wrong, I do shower, but on those cold, rainy mornings when I just can’t convince myself to jump into the shower, dry shampoo works miracles.

 I first discovered dry shampoo a few years ago at an overpriced boutique—I was so intrigued that I spent a ridiculous amount of money to purchase this mysterious product, only to become instantly addicted.  Luckily there are now hundreds of versions available, some good and some not-so-good, at much more reasonable prices. 

I have now found my new favorite—Ion Dry Shampoo.  Not only does it work much better than any of the other spray-type dry shampoos I’ve encountered, but it comes at a fraction of the cost.  It leaves my hair smelling and looking fresh, and gives it some extra volume, which we could all use.  Plus, it doesn’t leave any icky white residue! I’d definitely recommend it—it’ll give you at least thirty minutes of extra snooze time!

Have you jumped on the Argan Oil train? It really is an amazing product and judging by the popularity of our One ‘n Only Argan Oil hair care products, a lot of you agree!

So in an effort to continue to bring you great products that you love, we are introducing three new additions – One ‘n Only Argan Oil Hair Spray, Mousse and Spray Treatment. Can I get a woot, woot?

A little bit about these new additions:

• Argan Oil Mousse delivers maximum volume, body and control. It also controls frizz and is ideal for blow drying and creating curl separation.
• Argan Oil Spray Treatment is a lightweight, alcohol-free, non-greasy formula that provides instant shine, seals in moisture, conditions and smoothes the cuticle. It helps eliminate frizz and repair dry damaged hair.

Today I opted to watch cartoons with my daughter versus spending the extra time on my hair (I do love the Backyardigans). So instead of blow-drying and then using a flat iron, I worked in some Beyond the Zone Split Mender after I showered, used a diffuser for a few minutes and let the rest air dry. (BTZ Split Mender is a leave- in conditioner, but it acts like a very light gel.)

The resulting lazy-day-hair is actually not bad. In fact, I have received several compliments. I was also told I remind someone of Ally Sheedy from The Breakfast Club. But hey, I like that movie and the 80’s are making a comeback.
