September Giveaway – ISH One Minute Treatment

September 12th, 2011 . 2 Comments »

Hello, beauty queens!

Miss Bonnified here! I have a song stuck in my head right now.

Aaannyywaaay, ….how’s everyone doing today? Your hair holding up in this heat wave and humidity? I’m in Los Angeles and I can honestly say my hair is freaking out. As you may recall, I reviewed B:OCE’s Shampoo and Treatment MC last time.

While it delivered on most of its promises, I need something that can tame the frizz that is threatening to ruin the beautiful curls from my digital perm.

Enter ISH Rescue and their HRC!

Don’t know what a HRC is? Don’t worry. I didn’t know either but I do now and I’m gonna share the information. HRC is short for Hair Renewal Crystals. The crystals are made from jojoba. Jojoba is one of the best natural and moisturizing ingredients for hair care.

The beauty of ISH Rescue is how their HRCs work. They’re activated by heat, magically melt into your hair follicles which is then ionically sealed with the moisturizing properties of jojoba.

Sounds great to me because the ambient heat in my shower + heat of my shower water is sufficient to unlock all this jojoba goodness on to my hair.

Up first for review, the shampoo I tried.

Here’s a brief description of the product from frizzy2silky.com

Finally! The sulfate-free and salt-free natural shampoo you have been waiting for!

A cleansing formula derived from coconut and chamomile dramatically prolongs hair color. HRC, or Hair Renewal Crystals, ionically lock in hair color and moisture. Our proprietary formula extends the life of hair color up to three times longer! Perfect for color treated hair!

Active Ingredients:
- HRC (Hair Renewal Crystals)

So here’s the honest breakdown.

They’re not kidding on making the color stay.
I got a gloss-sealant treatment on my permed hair with a light brown color to the gloss.
The color of my hair is still a glossy light brown.

Bonnie Smash

This shampoo doesn’t lather. That was kind of weird. I wasn’t expecting that.
There’s also no scent to this shampoo either.

Despite no lather and no scent, my hair still felt relatively moisturized and clean. All in all, not a bad product if you know what to expect. The first day I used this, I went through almost 1/5 of the bottle because it didn’t lather and I didn’t know if I got enough shampoo through all of my hair.

Now I know better but I still felt like I needed to use more than I normally would use in terms of shampoo because I relied on the amount of lather to tell me how much shampoo I need to use.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!
It’s rich, it’s luxurious, it’s creamy.
It tamed my frizzy hair. The humidity doesn’t even faze my perm now.
It only takes one minute to work!
I use my Clarisonic Sonic Skin Care thingy to wash my face and TA DA!!! It’s been a minute!
One quarter-sized dollop is enough for my thick, waist length hair.
Detangles my hair and I’m able to finger comb it in the shower when I’m rinsing it out.

Bonnie Smash

Hm….there’s nothing I don’t like about it.
If I have to pick on something, I guess it would be the lack of a strong scent.
But, then again, why is that a bad thing? It’s not. So, no, there’s nothing I dislike about it.

While you can apply this to towel dried hair, I didn’t use it in this way. I only applied it when I was in the shower and then rinsed it off.

Double Duty Beauty

January 4th, 2011 . No Comments »

Your beauty basket runneth over. Some of that stuff you bought because you needed it (or at least you really thought so). Some of it wooed you with great advertising. Some of it was just too gosh darn cute.

The good news is, many products are a lot more than just a one trick pony. They morph into a multi-use affair with the addition of common ingredients found around the house, or even as they are.

Conditioner

A good daily use conditioner is a necessary staple, especially for those who need to wash their hair often. It has to get the job done without being too heavy or creating build up. Paul Mitchell’s The Conditioner is an excellent buy that has stood the test of time. It was part of the original three products that launched the line back in the 80′s and it still garners praise from the industry.

Double Duty: If your hair tends to be dry, or if you are a curly, you could really stand to skip the shampoo step all together and do a conditioner-only wash. These products have enough mild surfactants to cleanse without the stripping and tangling. For a clarifying wash, add a bit of baking soda to your conditioner. This will help get rid of any product build up and freshen the scalp.

Get this – you can also use conditioner in place of shaving cream!

Mild Facial Cleansers

A gentle, emollient, water soluble (easily rinsed) cleanser is a good idea for all skin types. Even if you have oily skin, deep cleansing products aren’t necessary every time you wash your face. You want to retain moisture balance without stripping the skin. At night, when you want to remove your makeup and get rid of impurities from the day, Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser is a gel-cream that will sooth the skin and effectively remove cosmetic products and dirt.

Double Duty: A mixture of equal parts baking soda and gentle cleanser make a great exfoliating scrub. As you age, the skin does not slough away dead cells on its own as easily as younger skin. Exfoliating boosts cell turnover, gets rid of flaking skin, and leaves you with a healthy glow.

Moisture-Rich Conditioners

Especially if you are coarse or curly, your hair constantly craves moisture. Thick, rich conditioners are needed to tame your tresses and keep things manageable. Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner reconstructs the hair with keratin and argan oil. ISH Rescue Ionic Conditioner is an awesome detangler and protects the hair from heat styling.

Double Duty: Turn your conditioner into a luxury hair treatment with hot oil. Take a spoonful each of olive oil and castor oil. Castor oil is an excellent humectant and it’s also great for sealing the hair cuticle. You can also use your other favorite oils like jojoba oil and coconut oil. Heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds and mix them into 1/4 cup of conditioner. Apply to the hair and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will work best with heat, and Hair Therapy Wrap will keep your hair warm for up to 30 minutes. Your hair will be super hydrated and the oils will give your hair a lovely sheen.

Brand Spotlight – ISH Recue

December 23rd, 2010 . 1 Comment »

What does it take to become the go to hair colorist for the Hollywood A-list? Huh. Let’s think about that one. That A-list is pretty short. There are probably plenty of stylists in L.A. who’d like to be on it. I mean they’ve all got licenses, right? They all learned how to color hair at some point, didn’t they?

Sarah Michelle - post "Buffy"

Clearly, Nelson Chan knows some things about hair color that the rest of us don’t. He’s been the colorist for Heather Graham, Alicia Silverstone, and even taken Sarah Michelle Gellar from “Buffy” blonde to a sultry brunette! He’s been continuously voted “Best Colorist” by both InStyle and Allure magazines.

Chan is born and raised in Hong Kong, trained in Los Angeles, and his star has risen fast. Still in his 20s, he has gone from a prestigious apprenticeship which led to a full-time postion with renowned colorist Stuart Gavert, to owning his own top-rated Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, and has now developed his own lines of hair care.

When you are a master at your craft the way Nelson is, you want to work with tools and products that meet your exacting standards, and may decide to create those products yourself. Great color can only be achieved on hair that is supple, healthy, and vibrant. ISH Rescue and Nelson J products were developed by Nelson and are used on his salon clients every day. His breakthrough was the innovative HRC crystals used in his ionic hair treatment. This treatment actually activates the crystals with the heat from a flat iron and leaves the hair silky smooth!

There are a great multitude of hair types in the world. If you are one of the many who cannot decide how or if to moisturize your tresses, then it is time to rescue your hair.

If your hair does not naturally produce a sufficient amount of oils and/or moisture, then your hair may suffer from dryness. Even if your hair naturally produces oils, it may become dry due to outside influences. Hair can be affected by sun exposure, excessive heat styling, bleaching, coloring, chemical perms, and excessive washing. If your hair has endured any of this, and you want to rescue it, what should you do?

There are a plethora of products that can help you moisturize. If you need a little extra moisture, then when it is time to shampoo, use the ISH Rescue Ionic Conditioner.
