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 Hair Spray provides strong hold, control and instant shine. It can be used on wet hair to add texture and body or dry hair for natural, long-lasting, touchable support.
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.
Football season has started and pumpkin spice lattes are on sale, which can only mean one thing – fall is finally here!
After a hot, hot summer spent in the pool trying to cool off, my tresses are looking a little frazzled. Luckily, Brazilian Tech has come out with three new products that will get my hair back in shape just in time for my high school reunion! They’re full of keratin, which helps fill in any scraggly places along the hair shaft. Perfect timing!
Here’s a little info about the new products:
Brazilian Tech Leave-in Treatment - This is a lightweight leave-in protein spray that repairs damage to the cuticle, while conditioning and controlling frizz.
Brazilian Tech Lusterizer – Use this product on wet or dry hair to provide instant shine, revive color and strengthen damaged hair.
Brazilian Tech Smoothing Lotion - This is a non-greasy anti-frizz and anti-curl styling lotion that eliminates frizz and temporarily straightens and smoothes thick, curly wavy, hair.

I just returned from a beautiful weekend in San Diego at the BlogHer conference. I met some truly amazing women bloggers and had the best time socializing and learning.
After finding out that I was with Sally Beauty, the first question out of everyone’s mouth was, “What’s your favorite product?” So, I decided I should do a round-up of my Top Five Favorite Sally Beauty Products.
In no particular order:
1. Ion Color Brilliance Permanent Creme Hair Color in 3G – My hair has been a lot of colors over the years, but this has to be my favorite shade. It’s shiny, has just a hint of red for warmth and makes my hair feel and look super healthy.
2. Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat - I refuse to paint my nails without this. It gives my polish a glass-like finish, dries in a snap and keeps them from chipping. I apply it every couple of days to keep my manicure looking fresh.
3. China Glaze Refresh-Mint – You know how newly engaged women constantly hold out their hand to admire their ring? That’s what I do when I wear this polish.
4. Miracle 7 Leave-in Conditioner - Now here’s a product that actually lives up to the hype. It’s ahhmazing. I love it because I have fine hair that gets weighed down easily, but needs a lot of conditioning, and Miracle 7 takes care of it.
5. Palladio Liquid Eye Liner in Black Forest - I always made a mess with liquid liner until I tried Palladio. The brush is super easy to work with and lets me draw perfect lines. Black Forest is a great color because it’s dark without being as harsh as black.

Summer is officially here and it’s time to start thinking about summer hair care! Just as you would put sunscreen on your skin to protect it from the sun and damaging effects, you should use a leave-in conditioner to protect your hair from the sun, chlorine, and salt water. Ion Swimmer’s Leave-In Conditioner is specially formulated for this purpose. It will also prevent your hair from turning green from chlorine exposure.
Hair tangled from a day spent splashing in the water? Again, Ion Swimmer’s Leave-In Conditioner to the rescue! It’s an easy detangler, and adds shine and hydrates hair at the same time. Hello multi-purpose product!
Even if you use the leave-in conditioner for protection, your hair can use a clarifying treatment after swimming in the pool or saltwater. It will remove build-up and any green discoloration. Ion Swimmer’s Clarifying Treatment is safe for color treated hair.
On Wednesday I told you about a fabulous contest Sally Beauty is holding to celebrate the launch of our new Ion Keratin Smoothing Treatment. If you haven’t checked out the details be sure to visit here.
Today, I wanted to share a little bit about the product. I had the opportunity to watch the process from start to finish on my office mate, Jennifer. It truly is amazing stuff! It took her hair from frizzy (Sorry, Jennifer) to smooth, shiny and healthy looking. Here are her before and after pics:

Ah summer. Flip-flops, Dreamcicles and days at the beach. Remember when we thought we were good with just a smear of zinc oxide across the nose and baby oil everywhere else? Yeah, that’s hardly the case today. I have replaced my zinc with lotions and creams that help protect my skin, hair color and even manicure from the sun.
I put sunscreen on every day. EVERY DAY. This is no longer just for a day at the beach, ladies. Before I put any makeup on, I start with a daily lotion with SPF in it. My esthetician convinced me to try a tinted lotion with SPF 60. Yeah, that felt like I covered my face with butter and I don’t recommend it. I stick with Beyond Belief Vita C + 15 SPF moisturizer. It’s light and 15 SPF will keep you covered during your commute to the office or trip to check the mail.
I also color my hair and as a working mom/housekeeper/dog walker/personal chef, I simply do not have time to color more than I already do. So it is very important for me to keep my color as long as I possibly can. I use color protect shampoo and conditioner, but I also use color protect styling products. Yup, they have sun protection for your hair. These help prevent your hair color from fading, therefore extending the time between coloring.
Have you noticed after an afternoon at the pool your manicure or pedicure will look a little yucky? Yup, sun can fade dark colors and yellow lighter ones. There are a ton of topcoats with UV protection. Orly Polishield is a good one.
So there you have it, a small bit of summer advice. I would love to hear any other summer saviors you may have. Wait, is that the ice-cream truck? Got to go!
I’ll admit it. I’m in love with curly hair. I myself have stick-straight hair, and have a serious case of curl-envy when I see a head full of bouncy, shiny curls. How do they get their hair to look so good?
After several weeks of me nagging, he reluctantly agreed to test out the Mixed Silk™ products for me. After we had finished, his curls were so well-defined! They were gorgeous, silky, and shiny. I had never seen his hair look so good. My husband took one look in the mirror and said with sheer horror, “I look…too beautiful!” He then proceeded to BRUSH out his curls (a cardinal SIN for curly hair) in an attempt to return to his frizzy, wild-man state. So if you are like my husband and ENJOY frizzy, untamed hair, this product may not be for you. If, however, you have anything from tight spiral curls to loose waves, this product is the perfect way to let your hair down, and feel free to be who you are: a beautiful, natural girl (or guy!) with beautiful, natural curls.
