Aloxxi Dry Shampoo

To prevent damage to your hair, I know it's always suggested that you not shampoo every day. That's super hard when you have oily skin, thus an oily scalp.  More often than not, if I skip a night of shampooing (which I would love to do with long hair) my hair looks like it has been licked down by a cat.  Not a good look. All the classic dry shampoos I've tried in the past have left me looking like Cruella De Ville, as I'm a brunette.  Most left my hair looking gray in patches & quite dull- then brown colored powders to avoid looking ashy left me looking like pig pen! Nothing really was a good fit. But brunettes rejoice! Recently I tried Aloxxi's new Dry Shampoo & I think I've finally found a winner! It's the least powdery spray version I've found- the trick is to shake the bottle just a little, not a lot. It's got a highly addictive unisex smell & leaves a cooling, tingly sensation on your scalp- as an added bonus. My hair is quite thrilled I've discovered it.

Peace. Love. product.

Oh Honey

I do a hair mask every Sunday. It's my routine & just as with skincare I tell my clients whatever their regimen is, be consistent.  When it comes to my hair, I try & nourish it because- well it's not as young as it used to be. Yes, hair ages. Styling & pulling it back in ponytails for work has caused more damage than I'd like to admit.  This Honey I'm Strong hair mask from Herbal Essences has been rocking my world, as of late.

Alright so it kind of looks like banana pudding in an odd way.  I also am particular about 'honey' scented things. You work in a salon long enough that uses honey almond scented products in their pedicures & you associate that smell with feet, but I digress.  The scent is mild & fresh & the mask glides on the hair. I've been combing it through in the shower & leaving it on while I shave my legs. So did I mention the detangling?!? Tangles are my biggest struggle with long hair & what I feel leads to more breakage for me when combing or brushing my hair. This mask detangles & smooths your hair like a dream. There's even the added benefit that the mask is supposed to strengthen your hair.  Herbal Essences is a line that I call cheap & cheerful- with this mask you get a ton of great product, at a great price.  So Honey I suggest you go out & get some!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
