Angelo David Shined on the Red Carpet

Angelo David had the Hollywood Stars shining on the Red Carpet at this weeks Oscars. Before I share with you photos of the stars and their spectacular look, let me tell you of my experience with a few of my favorite products from the Angelo David Hair Care Line.  Zero Frizz Control should be a staple in everyone’s hair care arsenal.  It’s a fast-drying hair cream that “calms unruly strands, while taming frizzies and flyaways”.  Zero Frizz control is perfect for curly hair like mine. It was created specifically for textured hair but  is appropriate for all hair types. What I liked about Zero Frizz Control was that I was able to combine with another styling product. I applied Zero Frizz Control after shampooing and conditioning. My hair dried fast and I was left with silky, soft, bouncy curls that were all intact without the extra frizz. Zero Frizz Control will be great to have on hand this summer when my hair will really be out of control.

Angelo David’s New Premier Volume Spray is the perfect solution for your hair when you need a quick lift. My hair tends to flatten and with a few spritzs of Premier Volume Spray my curls were revived. Premier Volume Spray added just the right volume to my hair without creating stiffness. As stated by Angelo David,It has a flexible-conditioning formula, combining silk and wheat proteins, panthenol and avocado, for extra strength and hydration. Evening Primrose enhances shine, while sun protectors keep color vibrant.”  Angelo David products are available exclusively at Angelo David Salon and Angelo David.com $1.00 FROM EVERY PRODUCT SOLD WILL GO TO www.Lupus.org

Take out the “Drab” and put back the “Fab” with NIOXIN

 

Did you ever have one those days when your hair is looking totally drab? I know from experience that when your hair looks drab you feel drab. Let me assure you that Nioxin Hair Care products will put the “Fab” back into your drabby hair.

I routinely alternate shampoos and  Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner are one of them. I recently added a few more Nioxin products to my list of “must-have” hair care products and Nioxin Intensive Therapy Deep Repair Hair Masque is amazing. I have never used a hair masque before and this hair masque not only provides deep conditioning, it left my hair feeling silky smooth and ultra soft. This amazing hair masque wiped out my frizz leaving me with soft bouncy curls. Nioxin Intensive Therapy Deep Repair Hair Masque works great on dry and color treated hair and helps strengthen the hair shaft  reducing breakage. I simply applied the mask to my wet hair after shampooing, and after 5 minutes I rinsed my hair and then styled it. The results were amazing.

Nioxin Volumizing Reflectives Volume and  Texture Creme is the perfect creme to use before styling your hair. Volume and  Texture Creme will give your hair just the right body and shine and strengthen the hair shaft against damage without build-up on the scalp and hair. I applied a small amount of this gel-like creme to my damp hair and styled as usual, briefly blow dry or air dry, either way, the results are fabulous.  I was able to achieve just the right volume and my curls stayed intact. Nioxin’s Volume and  Texture Creme is alcohol and PVP free.

 

Nioxin Niospray is the perfect complement to Nioxin’s Volume and  Texture Creme. This super hair spray is available in two holds, Extra Hold and Power Hold with BioAmp. At Nioxin’s website, http://nioxin.com I found fascinating information on BioAMP technology.  “BioAMP – Glyco-proteins add thickness from inside the cuticle and strengthen the hair strand, while Cystine Amino Acids work to seal the cuticle and help repair damaged fine hair”.

Nioxin Niospray will have your hair looking great all day long, giving your hair shine, volume  and texture. Nioxin Niospray protects your hair from becoming brittle and dry and is also PVP free. I saw results immediately after use and was very pleased. Nioxin has some amazing products for those with brittle, damaged and thinning hair. Take out the “Drab” and put back the “Fab” with Nioxin and visit  http://nioxin.com/en-US/home-page.aspx.

How to Get Really Big Sexy Hair: Let’s be honest, every woman loves really big sexy hair once and awhile. You know that big, just left the salon blowout that makes you feel completely amazing and confident. Follow the quick and easy steps below to achieve the look without the salon price tag.

IT&LY Hairfashion Presents….the “Purity Design” Experience


I was recently introduced to IT&LY Hairfashions extensive and incredible line of hairstyling and finishing products called Purity Design. What makes Purity Design so unique? It was designed to “create personal styles while providing moisture and shine to hair.”

IT&LY Hairfashion states that their “labs have separated the purest active ingredients and created a new protection formula that characterizes the line “Desert Blend“. Desert Blend is a combination of vegetable extracts and proteins derived from the plants of arid zones.  “These ingredients ensure  the natural hydration and the right protection against damages to the hair from pollutant agents and UV rays; therefore preventing dryness and dullness.”

Now, let me tell you about the products themselves. I found IT&LY’s website to be very helpful in selecting the appropriate product for my hair type. IT&LY has created  products to treat the specific needs of their clients. I have curly hair and need a medium hold, so what products do I choose?

At http://www.italyhairfashion.com/images/Purity’11-page(s).pdf, you will find a complete description of each product in the Purity Design line.  On  pages 10 and 11,  I found the ” hold factor key”  to be extremely helpful.  This easy to follow color coded chart helped me select the product I needed based ont the hold I wanted (there are 4 to choose from), I chose medium. Purity Design  products do exactly what they say they do, as long as the instructions are followed.

Purity Design Pure Shampoo and Pure Conditioner are perfect for both normal and dry hair.  While the Shampoo helps make your hair stonger and healtier, the conditioner leaves your hair feeling soft, silky  and looking shiny.

After Shampooing and Conditioning, I gave my hair the Pure Fluid Experience.  I applied a small amount of this creamy, silky fluid to my damp hair. Pure Fluid was  designed to give softness and shine to my hair and it did just that.

Pure Hair Eco,  is a medium hold hairspray I use when needed,  giving  my hair a great hold without the heaviness and stiffness some hairsprays can cause.

Everyone who uses hair products should know that ” IT&LY Hairfashion is committed to creating an eco-friendly corporate environment as well as the use of emerging green techiniques in the production of its extensive line of environmentally friendly products”.
