Give Your Hair Some Shock Therapy™!

140673_SO_030113I was looking in the mirror when frustration hit me. I’ve had bad hair days before but this was different. My hair looked dull, lackluster and just blah!

For the past few months, I have gone style crazy. I’ve tried all sorts of different products and applied way too much heat on my hair. It happens to the best of us, but there is a solution and I’m all about solutions!  Thankfully, Beyond the Zone has provided the answer with their new line of Shock Therapy products.

When I found these products I just knew they were for me! Shock Therapy™ gives your hair a boost whether you have damaged hair (me!), build-up (me!), dull color (me!), or dry hair (guilty as charged!).

I came to the conclusion that I needed some Shock Therapy™ before I went through another hair crisis. These are quick one time treatments that take no commitment and with the current Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer, I grabbed them all! After having this hair intervention, I can finally say that my hair has been restored.

Mystic Divine

February has been quite eventful! Trying to stick to January resolutions, shorter days, and the cold weather has all left me feeling blah! I could use a vacation to exotic island right about now… ahh!

Okay, snap back to reality Hazel! Since, I can’t do that, I will definitely take some pampering on a reasonable scale.

Luckily, Sally Beauty has that covered with Mystic Divine. This hair care line is exotic, blissful and with their Buy 1, Get 1 FREE – affordable!

Mystic Divine contains Argan oil and Monoi oil (a Tahitian Coconut oil blend perfumed with Gardenias – so luxe!) that help to transform weak, dull hair into smooth, healthy, shiny hair, while also protecting from heat damage and color fade-out. Not to mention, the packaging is super-cute and I love pretty things on my counter!

I used the Nourishing Masque on my distressed tresses, grabbed my favorite fashion magazine, a comfy chair and escaped!

NEW! Ion Thickening Solutions

A product thumbnail of Ion Thickening Solutions KitIon must have heard my prayers, because they have created a system that caters to ladies like me who don’t have a lot of hair.  The new Ion Thickening Solutions strengthens your fine or thinning hair to prevent breakage, promotes a healthy scalp, and increases volume.

I have tried several thickening/volumizing systems, but could never commit because I disliked the fragrance, it was drying, I couldn’t use it on my color treated hair, or it just didn’t work.

What really interested me was the clinical research that went behind this line and the results: 76% of users noticed an increase in fullness and volume, and 68% of users noticed a thickening effect after use. I was like, “Sign me up!”

I know you will love this line of products because not only is my hair voluptuous, it smells de-lish, feels baby soft, is color-safe. Thank you, Ion!

NEW Silk Elements Heat Protection Crème

Hello my name is Kelly and I’m addicted to soft, smooth hair. It feels good to get that off my chest! :)

Whether I curl or flat iron my hair, I can’t stand when I cannot run my fingers through it because it’s tangled! Dry, tangled hair can take me from happy to angry in an instant!

I naturally have frizzy, dry, wavy hair that no one in their right mind would ever describe as soft or smooth! I have to blow dry and then flat iron or curl to achieve the look that makes me happy. I have tried to stop and give up the heat, but that lasted all of 30 minutes before I caved!

If your addiction is strong like mine and you just can’t give up the habit, you need heat protection. I love the Silk Elements line of heat protectors because not only do they help to protect heat damage, but they also add shine, soften and increase manageability.A product thumbnail of Silk Elements Mega Silk Heat Protection Creme

This miracle in a bottle comes in different forms to suit everyone’s need (serum, spray and crème). The NEW Silk Elements Heat Protection Crème offers a little something different because it allows you to better control where the product is going for even distribution.

This formula is light-weight which makes it ideal for all hair types. When you smooth the crème in your hands you know your hair is going to feel and look like silk after blow drying, which is perfect for smooth hair addicts like me!

What’s your beauty addiction?

Clairol Professional Pro 4Plex

 A product thumbnail of Clairol Professional Repair Daily ShampooWith fall around the corner, it is time for change!

Summer often leaves my hair dry from chlorine, damaging UV rays, and highlighting since I love being lighter when it’s warm.

After the fun days of summer have gone, I usually do two things to get my hair ready for fall: Repair and Reinvent.

Repair, for me, usually means trying new products that help undo damage.  Reinventing happens with a fresh, new fall color. A product thumbnail of Clairol Professional Liquicolor Permanente Hair Color

Clairol Professional has my agenda fully covered with their extensive color selection and their new line of Clairol Professional Pro 4Plex  hair care products . Think of it as the perfect accessory to the LBD (little black dress).

There’s definitely something for everyone in this line and it makes repairing, styling, and keeping my color new so easy to do!

How are you planning to update your look for fall?

Biotera Long and Healthy

A product thumbnail of Biotera Long and Healthy ShampooEver heard the story of Rapunzel? “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” Well, I know that every girl wishes she could grow beautiful, long, healthy hair like she did.

Your wish has been granted with creation of the new Biotera Long and Healthy. This line was made specifically for us girls who often have a hard time growing their hair out. Sometimes this is a challenge for damaged, fragile hair because it will usually break off before it can grow. This new formula really keeps that frustration in mind by using an ultra-strengthening formula fueled by super fruits like acai berry, pomegranate and soy!

After using the shampoo, I was in love! The lather is so rich and dreamy, that I just knew my hair was getting better already. I followed the shampoo with the Long and Healthy Daily Conditioner, which rinsed clean and left my hair feeling moisturized and smooth.

For you ladies that have medium to thick strands, this line has a conditioner just for you – Biotera Long and Healthy Deep Conditioner. The last product I used was the Triple Action Leave-In Treatment so that I could heal my split ends and prevent new ones. This stuff works really well, I could already tell that my ends are less frizzy and it doesn’t weigh my hair down. I’ve been using this for a little while now and my normal “hard-to-grow” hair is stronger and noticeably longer :) !

If you want long locks, try this product line pronto! Right now, Sally Beauty has all Biotera on sale – Buy 2 get 1 Free - making this is the perfect opportunity to try it!

Beyond The Zone Smooth Criminal Hair Primer

A product thumbnail of Beyond The Zone Smooth Criminal Hair PrimerI always feel guilty when I straighten my hair….or for that matter, when I straighten, curl, OR blow dry it. 

First comes the satisfying moment when you’re using a heat styling appliance and you see steam rising from your hair, indicating successful styling.  Then, there’s the realization that your parched strands are slowly being fried to the point of resembling straw.  Not to mention the fact that my routine lately has consisted of blow drying, then straightening to smooth the top layers, then curling my hair at the ends—a triple threat. 

So my new obsession is the Beyond the Zone Smooth Criminal Hair Primer, which, like the other BTZ Smooth Criminal products, protects hair from heat damage so I can style away without worry! 

The good thing about the Hair Primer is that it creates a foundation for styling by detangling, taming frizz, and smoothing to make your hair look better in the end, no matter what tools you’re using. 

As if that wasn’t great enough, it also makes my blow out quicker—and, let’s face it, who couldn’t use more time in the morning?

Ion Blow Dry Crème Serum

A product thumbnail of Ion Blow Dry Creme SerumDoes anyone else HATE blow drying their hair?  I have really long hair, and it takes forever to dry.  The only shortcut I’ve been able to come up with is showering at night and going to bed with wet hair, but I STILL have to spend at least 10 minutes blow drying it in the morning! 

But now, the product of my dreams has arrived at Sally Beauty. The Ion Blow Dry Crème Serum makes my blow out quicker and easier.  It smells great, and protects hair from heat damage (which I’m sure it could use, considering the number of minutes I spend under the hair dryer). 

I just distribute it through my wet hair before styling, and it leaves my hair smooth, soft, and frizz-free, which pretty much eliminates my need to use a flat iron after the hair dryer.  Plus, its unique crème-to-serum formula makes it great to use on dry hair for smoothing and tame fly-aways.  Talk about an all-in-one product!
