Olive Oil for Hair that Looks Alive!

November 11th, 2010 . 2 Comments »

Science is just starting to uncover all of the health benefits of olive oil, even though it has been cultivated and happily used in beauty remedies for 3,000 years in countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and across the Mediterranean.

But did you know about all the incredible benefits just a touch of olive oil holds for hair? Here’s a list, in brief, of some of the ways this antioxidant-packed ingredient can add gloss, strength and luster to your locks.

-         Olive oil is deep penetrating, and makes an amazing conditioner
-         Olive oil fights against frizz and static in hair.
-         High in mono-saturated fatty acids and vitamin E, olive oil protects, moisturizes and nourishes.
-         Olive oil stimulates hair at the base, promoting hair growth and re-growth.
-         Olive oil coats and repairs hair that is damaged or splitting.
-         Olive oil soothes the scalp and can help control and prevent oily hair this way.

So if you’re ready to give olive oil therapy a try, but are shy about pouring it straight out of the bottle onto your head, have no fear! Some wonderful products for frizzy hair or damaged hair have started adding it in manageable and effective amounts to their ingredients lists! We’ve gathered the best ones here, for your enjoyment and experimentation!

Get your hands on the Altieri Brothers Tuscan Bella Testa Beautiful Hair Masque and start experiencing the benefits of olive oil at their most luxurious. This creamy treatment repairs damaged hair with help from this antioxidant superfruit, plus its sidekicks: rich argan oil and grapeseed extract.

Looking for something to slather on after a shampoo to seal in some shine as part of your shower ritual? Reach for this velvety-smooth conditioner, DevaCurl One Condition to infuse your curls, waves or cascading strands with olive oil, orange peel extract, vitamin C and other essential botanicals. Simply work it into wet hair and rinse. There’s no stress for this refresh!

Remind Your Hair to Finish its Vegetables!

November 5th, 2010 . 1 Comment »

As health-conscious, beauty-minded women, most of us are already in the habit of scanning labels for natural and organic ingredients when shopping for hair products. And while we already know to look for jojoba-packed, shea-fortified or cocoa butter-enriched products (click links for prime product examples), there’s a whole world of plant extracts that are overlooked by most consumers, but not by hair stylists and scientists.

Several advanced products out there are currently carrying fresh, healthy blends of plant extras that, innovatively, are more commonly found in produce aisles. Intrigued at the idea of vegetables for your hair? We were too.   

As it turns out, vegetable-derived cleansing agents are naturally gentle, are packed with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, and have properties that protect against weather. Simply consider the source, and it makes sense.

Here are some high end but affordable superstars of the world of hair products that have caught on to the notion that your hair can be healthier… if it goes vegetarian!

Philip B Creme of the Crop Hair Finishing Cream
This is truly one of the best miracle-workers on the market. If you’re shopping for hair products for curly hair, the veggie-derived ingredients in this cream tames flyaways and smooths away frizz.

Solutions for Scary Hair – Damaged Hair Products, Thinning Hair Products, and More

October 28th, 2010 . 1 Comment »

Just in time for Halloween, we’ve got great product suggestions to help you with some of the most common scary hair problems. If you’ve been looking for damaged hair products, products for thinning hair, or products to save a scalp in need of soothing, we’ve gathered the cream of the crop when it comes to treats for desperately scary hair. No trick!

Problem: Dandruff and Itchy Scalp
There are several different causes for dandruff, but common ones are overactive skin cell reproduction on the scalp, and – contrary to popular belief – oily skin. Extra oil on the scalp fosters the growth of bacteria that can cause itchiness, scratching, and in turn, dandruff. The solution is 1) frequent shampooing to wash away excess skin cells and 2) a shampoo that will control oily skin.

Solution: Clay Esthe EX Shampoo
The natural clay in this shampoo absorbs excess oil and residues in your hair and on your scalp, while deep sea minerals offer a deep clean to remove buildup. The combination is a potent defender against this common hair problem. Get ready to kiss dandruff goodbye! Get it >>

Problem: Thinning Hair
Thinning hair is often a genetic problem, but can also be the result of hair follicles that are, for whatever reason, underperforming or compromised.

Solution: Alterna LIFE Volume Restore Scalp and Follicle Serum
It’s a leave-in treatment that’s super-charged with micro proteins, macro silicones, exotic blue lotus and miraculous myrrh to fortify your hair at the root and promote healthy, voluminous hair growth. Apply this serum daily to the scalp to stimulate your follicles, and kick your hair growth into overdrive. Get it >>

Problem: Damaged Hair
The laundry list of things that can damage your hair is daunting: harsh weather, excessive chemical treatments, frequent styling, and even genetics. The good news is, there are fantastic damaged hair products to bring your hair back from the dead.

Solution: GHD Nurture Conditioner
With an olive-oil derived surfactant, wheat amino acids, intensified ceramide, and vegetable-based sucrose, this conditioner is, simply put, a superhero when it comes to repairing damage. Its ingredients combine to penetrate and strengthen the hair cuticle against breakage, while also resurfacing, building and restoring damaged hair for maximum shine, resilience, elasticity, and volume.

Straight Talk About Frizz-Free Hair Straightening

October 20th, 2010 . 16 Comments »

As lovely as the waves and curls in your hair may be, we ladies know that now and then, the urge to go straight overtakes us. After all, the allure of the swishy, glossy Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox look is something most of us covet from time to time.

And so we reach for the curling iron or the blow dryer.

Hold your horses, cowgirl! Frequent straightening can fry all the moisture out of your hair, leaving you with brittle, breakable strands, or hair that is stripped and prone to frizziness down the line. Even worse – if you are someone who often uses specialty hair products for curly hair or frizzy hair products to style your locks, the residues from those chemicals (especially the alcohol) can be heat-seared into each strand. Melting plastic into your hair is anything but glamorous.

The tricky part is finding a product that either protects your hair from the heat of a flat-iron, doesn’t require heat at all, or that utilizes the heat to moisturize your hair while you’re straightening. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got recommendations, some straight from celebrity salons!

Time to straighten up!

ISH Rescue Ionic Pro Treatment
Used by the hair care professionals at the Beverly Hills salon Heather Graham frequents, this effective treatment contains natural and organic moisturizing ingredients, including rich jojoba. Use your flat iron or blow dryer without fear; in fact, the heat is what activates the moisturizing ingredients! It’s a celebrity secret you can afford, and that your hair will thank you for. Get it for 25% off >>

GHD Smoothing Balm
If you prefer to straighten your hair with a blow dryer and a comb, this is a handy serum to have in your arsenal. It has heat-activated meadow foam seed oil that penetrates your hair for natural elasticity, protects against humidity, and offers UVA protection! Your hair’s natural proteins and lipids are preserved, and the result is straight hair that’s glossy and easy to style.  Get it for 10% off >>

Hempz Straightening Silk
Silk proteins and highly effective hemp seed oil infuses this product that you smooth into damp hair and then iron or blow dry to your heart’s content. While moisturizing hair, it smooths down curls and waves and eliminates frizz, all with its heat-shield ingredients and UV-inhibitors. It’s a natural way to combat heat styling damage. Get it for 10% off >>

Philip B Drop Dead Straight
Still nervous about heat-damage? Go heat-free, or employ just a gentle dry! This luxurious temporary fixative is non-greasy, water soluble, and gives your hair that straight look while still maintaining bounciness. Loaded with pure extracts of matricaria, althea and horseradish, it’s a product you can smooth into towel-dried or gently blow-dried hair. With just a little brushing, it straightens your hair while maintaining its sleek glossiness. Get it! >>
