Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Discontinued? Buy it Here!

Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray

Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray

So I was reading lately and talking in a popular forum and came across a rumor that I am not sure is true yet.  Apparently, Sebastian may be discontinuing another of their most popular styling products.  Earlier this year Sebastian discontinued their originals wet sleek hold liquid gel which everyone loved and is going crazy looking for, and apparently now they may be discontinuing the Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hair Spray and even the Sebastian Shaper Hairspray.

Usually when these big brands discontinue a product, they have another product coming out to replace it, but I actually can’t find anything that compares to either of these or all three of the products so I am hoping that Sebastian does have something that they are rolling out to cover for them.  In the mean time, you can always try the sebastian reshaper hairspray which is actually pretty amazing, but it does come in a different style bottle but is aerosol and is actually great because you can comb it out and even reshape your hair throughout the day with it so I actually think it is a pretty perfect alternative or new hairspray to try until they come out with their replacement hair spray and gel.

If you need a gel to replace the sebastian wet sleek hold gel, there are actually a ton of them out there that make excellent other options, I would recommend trying some of the alterna gels or even rusk hair gels if you cannot find the sebastian wet sleek hold liquid gel.  You can find them all in the styling products section of Hair Care Discounters.com as well.

Anyways, I was in shock when I heard that Sebastian may be discontinuing another one of their best selling products and if it is true then buy it while you can and if you cannot find it anywhere else, when we run out, you may want to give their other big hairspray they Reshaper hairspray a try since it is a pretty cool and good product which is also made by Sebastian.  Anyways, we have a ton of the hairspray in stock still so we won’t run out anytime soon, but I would definitely recommend buying as much as possible in case the rumor is true so you don’t run out for a long time either.

Top Ten Hair Shampoos and Conditioners For Fall.

  • Posted on October 5, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Ok, with the spirit of the awards season still going strong and getting ready for the holidays and all of the top ten lists, I am declaring this list week here on the number 1, sorry couldn’t resist, Hair Care Blog in the world!  So lets get going with our top ten hair shampoos and conditioners for the fall starting with our best selling and personal favorite shampoos and conditioners.

10. Alterna Life Volume Restore Shampoo.  This shampoo from Alterna isn’t just organic and sulfate free, it is also one of the most amazing and best shampoos you can buy to not only help repair and restore your hair, but also add in volume and life so it is perfect for people with dry, dull and lifeless hair.  Alternas Live Volume Restore Shampoo promotes healthy keratin formation and helps to fight against hair loss and baldness and because the fall is when it starts getting cold and you need that hair to help keep your head warm, the Alterna Life Volume Restore Shampoo makes our Top Ten List.

9.  Aquage Silkening Shampoo is our number nine pick for the top shampoos and conditioners for Fall.  This shampoo is amazing for helping to smooth and create a silk like feeling in coarse, dry, frizzy and curly hair.  You can use this shampoo to not only help make your hair more manageable, but also help to get your hair looking and feeling like silk.  This product is also a color safe and protecting shampoo and is sulfate free.  Aquage Silkening Shampoo is our number 9 pick for the best shampoos and conditioners for the fall.

8.  Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub Shampoo is our number 8 pick…although I think it should have been much higher.    Brocato is one of the best and most popular shampoo and hair product makers in the USA.  I know a ton of women and men who swear by their products and the Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub is probably one of my favorites from their line of products.  I love anything minty in the morning for my hair because it not only helps to wake you up in the morning, but it also has a fresh clean and crisp feeling and smell to it so you can wake up every morning feeling fresh, clean and ready for the day.  I love the Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub Shampoo and know you will to if you give it a try.

7.  Alterna The Science of Ten Conditioner.  This is one of the only hair products I have ever seen on the market that claims to work from the first time you use it and almost instantly and there are a ton of testimonials online complaining about the price of the conditioner and shampoo but also going crazy about how well it worked on their hair and how it had actually helped them repair and condition their hair instantly.  Because of all of the damage you do to your hair in the summer time with swimming and being outdoors, this is a definite conditioner that you need to have and use for the fall so you can prep and help get your hair healthy again  for the winter.  Alterna the Science of Ten Conditioner is our number 7 pick for the top shampoos and conditioners for fall.

6.  Matrix Biolage Strengthening Conditioner makes our top ten list in the number 6 spot.    Not only is this a great conditioner to help repair damaged hair and hair that you completely abused during the summer, but it is also one of the most affordable salon quality product lines available to the public.  Because if it’s effectiveness to do what it says it will do and its affordability to the general public the Matrix Biolage Strenghtening Conditioner makes it in the number 6 spot on our top ten shampoos and conditioners list.

5.  Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo.   Ok, if you cannot let summer go or need that extra boost of tropical smells and pina coladas, then the Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo is probably the perfect shampoo for you.  Not only does it smell amazing like coconuts, but it also uses coconut milks in it to help smooth and make your hair stronger, shinier and help your hair to look and feel a lot healthier.  We love the Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco Conditioner and if you can’t let the tropical summer or vacations go, then you need to buy this shampoo and you’ll be able to enjoy a tropical morning every morning when you wake up and shower with your new coconut based shampoo and conditioner.

4.  Rusk Purifying and Deep Cleansing Shampoo makes our list in the number 4 spot.  This is one of the most amazing shampoos for deep cleaning from Rusk.  It is made with extracts from Teas and from Cucurbita.  Not only does this shampoo help to deep clean your hair, but it also helps to make it look and feel healthier and stronger and this is also a personal favorite for its smell by a few people here in our office.   The Rusk Purifying and Deep Cleansing Shampoo is our number 4 pick for the best shampoos and conditioners for fall.

3.  Kerastase Bain Age Recharge Shampoo is our number three pick for the best shampoo and conditioner for fall.  Not only is this one of the best products available from Kerastase, but it is also not extremely affordable since it is now on sale here at Hair Care Discounters.  Kerastase Bain Age Recharge Shampoo is an amazing shampoo that will help to recharge and get your aging and damaged hair looking and feeling young and alive again.  Because of its almost instant results for many people who have used this shampoo, it is in our number 3 spot.

2.  Sebastian Pentraitt Shampoo is our number two best shampoo and conditioner for fall.  Not only is it the perfect shampoo for color treated hair, but it helps to protect your color as well as help to repair the damage done from coloring it.  This is one of the most overlooked shampoos for people with color treated hair and if you color your hair a lot or have color damage, we highly recommend you give the Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo a try and see how amazing it can be not only for your hair but also for your color.   If you have colored hair, you have to try this shampoo.

1.  Our number one best shampoo and conditioner for fall is by far one of the hardest to find.  It is MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner.  Not only do these products work amazingly well, but they also contain the argan oil extracts that everyone in the world is going crazy for and because of the demand for the oil and how rare it is, the products price keeps going up.  However, even though it is a bit pricey right now, it is completely worth the money for the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner.  The shampoo and conditioner are safe for all hair types, work with your hair color and colored hair, help to repair damage and help get your hair looking and feeling amazing again,,,or give it that extra boost of life that it needed….not to mention the products look and smell great too.  MoroccanOil is probably the best product line at affordable prices right now and because of how amazing this product line works on soo many people, the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner are our number one pick for the best shampoo and conditioner for the fall.

Although we love a lot more shampoos and conditioners, we could only pick ten for our top ten list, however there are a millio other shampoos and conditioners out there and a lot more available at Hair Care Discounters so if you don’t like any of the shampoos and conditioners that we mentioned here in this post, visit our site and find a lot more options for you and your hair type or even find a new one that you have never tried and you can also use the hair care discounters coupon code 7off70 until 10/31/09 to save 7% off your purchase of $70 or more and get free shipping and a free gift with your purchase of $70 or more.

Featured Product Fridays & an Apology

  • Posted on September 11, 2009 at 9:49 pm

Hi Everyone.  Sorry for not posting yesterday but I was moving apartments and it ended up not only taking the whole day, but also went into the night.  I am sorry for not posting yesterday, but I definitely think that this week’s Featured Product Fridays are going to completely make up for not being here and the sale prices on the items are absolutely unbelieveable…heck when I saw them I didn’t believe it either so that is why I think that if you are reading this post, you have to see the serious discounts on these Salon Quality Hair Care Products and then you’ll see why I could not believe the discounts we have on the name brand Hair Care Products.

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm:

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

This is a huge picture for a huge product.  I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in its 37oz container, but the Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm couldn’t have a better size because once you start using it you will never want to stop.

This balm uses its light formula to not only help add moisture into your hair, but help to get dry and brittle hair back to life and looking and feeling great again.  The Biolage Balm uses lemongrass and sage extracts in its formulas to help leave your hair not only soft looking and feeling, but also flexible again, instead of that nasty dry and brittle we all get when over working our hair.

This is also a product that is perfect for vacations and for the Summer time if you live in the Northeast like me, or Year Round if you are in the South or Southern California because if you take a little bit of the biolage conditioning balm and rub it into your palms then run it through your hair, it helps to prevent damage from the pool and hot tub chemicals like chlorine and bromine and helps to keep your hair healthy and happy in and after you get out of the pool.  You can buy biolage conditioning balm on Sale for just $27.50 today here at HairCareDiscounters.com

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner:

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner

The Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner is one of the top selling product from Matrix Biolage.  Most people actually think it is only Biolage and we love that because you know what, any way you call it or however you find it or pronounce it, it will still work amazingly well for you and for your hair.

This conditioner is designed to help repair and treat overworked hair from the not so serious damage to the seriously, hair breaking and falling out, type of damage (but remember it is a conditioner and not a treatment or a mask,,,I recommend one of those first) and helps to repair it with daily use and after you have used a proper reconstructor or hair treatment.

The Biolage Fortifying Conditioner is one of the best selling conditioners from Matrix Biolage and if you haven’t tried it yet, I know you have definitely seen it in Salons and in Grocery Stores, then you should think about giving it ago if you are coloring your hair, or doing something that may damage it this fall.  I am loving the Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner and what I love even more is the serious discount you can now get on this conditioner by shopping through our site Hair Care Discounters.com.

We have the Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner on sale today for just $9.95, that is 54.7% off of retail prices.  Isn’t that insane!  I would recommend buying this conditioner asap because you will not be able t find better prices on this conditioner for a long time.

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel:

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel

This is one of the most popular and loved hair gels on the Market.  It comes from the manufacturer Sebastian (who rumor has it has cancelled this product and noone knows why since it sells seriously well….maybe they have a brand new version coming out and want supplies to dwindle so people are more inclined to try the new one when it comes out.  If you are a Hair Care Discounters customer though, don’t worry since we have pallets of this and will not be running out any time soon.) who created my favorite hairspray and who has soo many amazing styling products it is no wonder the Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel jumped to number one in the best Hair Gel Category that sells, at least for our site.

The Sebastian wet skeel hold liquid gel is on sale today at a seriously amazing price, you cannot beat this sales price at just $7.95 USD per bottle which is an unbelieveable 55.8% off the Retail Price!  You seriously cannot beat this price on this product as it is one of the best and only hair gels that I would ever trust to be able to be applied to damp hair and when you blow dry it or even somewhat let it dry out on its own will retail and give you that amazing and sexy sleek wet look and style.

I would hurry up and buy sebastian wet sleek hold liquid gel on sale asap if I were you as you do not want to miss out on this amazing price.

Like I said, if you have ever wanted to try one of the worlds best hair gels, and not have to kill your bank account to do it, you have to buy a bottle or two of the Sebastian Gel and you will see why soo many men and women go crazy for it and will only rely on this hair product to style and hold their hair.   It really is a trusted brand because you can trust its results time and time again.  I love this hair gel and know that you will to.

Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Brush:

Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Hairbrush

This is one of the best hair brushes available for people who have long hair.

Not only is the Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Brush designed to be able to used for and with thermo styling, but it also has nylong brissels to help you get the volume you are going for with your hair dryers, etc…

OPI Give me Moor!:

OPI Give Me Moor!

OPI Give Me Moor!

Is another one of the amazing colors from the OPI Espana Colleccion.

Not only is it one of the darker and more elegant colors, but this rich and dark purple color would look amazing with gemstone jewelry like saphires and along white gold or silver bracelets and platinum settings.  The dark purple is also amazing for showing off diamond rings and makes the rock really stand out and you will instantly see the difference this one nail polish color can make.

This is only one of the reason I love the OPI Espana Colleccion soo much.  These dark and rich colors can do so much and actually work on their own or even in nail art.   There are soo many different ways that you can easily wear with soo many outfits and if used in nail art to soo many events and places that you won’t even need an evening gown, you can use this to make some gorgeous petals for flowers for fall walks and hikes, or even to create a fruit design for fall Thanksgiving Corocopias.  These colors, especially this dark purple color from OPI are amazing and you cannot pass them up.

OPI Give Me Moor! is on sale today at Hair Care Discounters for just $5.75 and as a special surprise, the rest of the collection is also on sale for $5.57.  You have to try the OPI Espana Colleccion before the new line comes out and only 5 colors get saved for the OPI Classics Collection.

Getting the Volume Back in Your Hair is Easy

  • Posted on September 9, 2009 at 8:41 pm

Has your hair started to go limp.  Is it hard to manage and basically deflated.  Are you tired of a bob that lays flat or curls that fall out and just dangle?  Well chances are your hair just needs to be recharged and revitalized with some serious volume.

The first thing you should think about and ask yourself is:

  • What have I done differently to my hair that could have caused it to go flat?
  • What did I do that could have damaged my hair?
  • When was the last time I used a hair treatment or Hair Mask?
  • Did I change products and try something new?
  • What did I do differently recently or what Chemicals or Changes in Temperature could have effected your hair and made it go flat?
  • How often do I style my hair?

By figuring out which of these or which combination of these things you have done or which ones can be effecting your hair and its volume, you can then start to work on which products you need to start using or what you can begin doing differently to help regain control of your hair and give it that full look and feeling that is not only easy to manage and style, but looks healthy and feels amazing.

So the first thing I would look at is when is the last time you treated your hair to a day at the spa…well not really a day at the spa for your hair, but a Hair Mask or Hair Repair Masque to recharge and give your hair back its life and luster and volume.

If your hair has deflated and you color it, style it, damaged it or it is just flat and boring, there is an amazing hair masque that I highly recommend you start trying from Pureology.  It is the Pureology Thickening Hair Masque.

Pureology Thickening Hair Masque

Pureology Thickening Hair Masque

The Pureology Thickening Masque is an amazing Masque that many women and salons have known about for years.  It is technically designed for people who have colored their hair, but because it is for thickening, I like to recommend it for just about anyone and everyone with dull lifeless and fine thin hair that needs to be thickened for volume and depth so you can more easily style it.

This hair masque not only helps to repair and reverse some of the damage done from coloring your hair, but it also helps to protect your color and add in volume and thickness to your hair.

The Pureology Thickening Masque evens out porosity and helps strengthen your hair as well so that you will not only be able to start to get hair that feels and looks healthier and fuller, but it will help to protect your hair color and give your hair more protection from other damage and harmful chemicals.

Now, suppose it isn’t a lack of treatments or the right treatment for your hair, or you haven’t colored your hair out of volume, what else could have been causing the deflation from fun and full hair with life and volume to flat and boring hair that lays on your head and doesn’t hold any style?  Maybe it is the Shampoos and Conditioners you are using.

KMS Add Volume Shampoo

There are soo many volume shampoos and conditioners available today and they are soo hard to choose from.  They all do different things and many have different ingredients.  The on thing that volume Shampoos and Conditioners do have in common is the same goal.  To get your hair back up with a ton of volume, body and fullness and so instead of listing a couple hundred shampoos and conditioners (ok that was a bit of an exaggeration) I am going to mention a few brands that are designed for this and then you can pick the one that stands out the most for you and which one you think may work best for your hair.  All of the Volume Shampoo and Conditioners do the same thing, so pick the one that you feel will be best for you and fit your price range, however, remember that I still stand by not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal, ones like Alterna The Science of Ten and Kerastase (Which are available on our site as well) are amazing and have some of the best ingredients in the world and in my opinion are more than worth the extra money and work a lot better on your hair, however pick one that is for Volume and in your price range and begin using it as instructed on the bottle.  Not as you want to because overuse can actually do even more damage.   If you want to try one of the Volume Shampoos or Conditioners that I recommend, click on the pictures to the left and you’ll be taken to the product page, then go and buy the complimentary Shampoo or Conditioner to it as well.

Soo suppose this is still not what is causing the deflation or boring dull hair.  What else can you do to help stop your hair from deflating and get back that volume and hold.  The one thing that I see over and over again, and I used to do is that people are using the wrong styling products to get their hair to hold up to humidity and hold their volume and curls or stop their hair from deflating. The most common product I see being used which is also one that won’t be able to do what you want is hairspray.

Although hairspray is amazing and will start holding you at the beginning of your day, it is not made for holding your curls for styling or your hair high by itself.  It is however perfect for keeping your style in place and locking it into place so that your hair can hold its shape all day, so although I don’t recommend it for being the base of your hair style, it is still important to use a hairspray to hold your hair style in place and help keep it from deflating.

This is where the other products out there come back from the store.  Most people skip over them or have seen their parents use them and never want to give them a try, however, this could be why your hair style does not hold and why your volume does not last all day and why your curls fall out.  Products like, Mousse, Volume Leave in Conditioners and Styling Conditioners and Volume Sprays get passed over when people as people shop and it is an absolute mistake because these are the products that are designed for big hair, curly hair and hair that wants volume and to stay inflated all day.  Hairspray can help to keep it in place and keep your hair style in shape, but these products are the ones that help create the style and hold it for as long as you want it big and beautiful.

Here are some of my favorite volumizing styling products that are great for big hair, curly hair, wavy hair, bob cuts, hair with volume and styles that need to be full and fun.

Brocato Mousse Volumizing Foam

Joico Body Luxe Design Foam

There are a ton of products out there to help you not only repair your hair and repair your hair’s volume, but there are also products out there that will help you style your hair and hold the volume and body that you want.  The most important thing to remember is to find one that works with your hair and to make sure that you treat your hair correctly because if your hair is happy and healthy and treated with care, your hair will also be able to be styled, have volume and life and you will begin to love it again.

Forget those infomercial products that are incomfortable, you can have hair that is full of volume and life naturally without having to wear or use products that hurt your head and look like crud.  Try using a volumizing mask, the proper shampoos and conditioners to help keep your hair healthy and full of volume and the right styling tools and products that are designed for volume and control and keeping your hair big happy and healthy.

What is the best hairspray and why? 5 Hairsprays Compared.

  • Posted on August 18, 2009 at 9:46 pm

So there are soo many types of hairsprays out there and all of them claim to be the best.  But which hairspray really is the best hairspray on the market and which one should you buy.  The answer is actually very simple, choose the hairspray that is designed to do what you would like it to do.

If you need serious hold, buy an extreme hold hairspray, if you need to be able to change your hair style half way through the day, buy a spray that allows you to do that.  If you color treat your hair, buy one that protects color and doesn’t do any more damage to your hair.  There are tons of hairsprays out there and hairsprays that do a huge variety of things and the answer to which one you should choose is just to choose one that does what you need and what you are looking for and also works for your hair.

Now that is a simple answer, however there are still a million hairsprays to choose from so I have selected my top five favorite hairsprays and will compare them for you to help you find which hairspray may be the best one for you and your hair.  So here is my favorite top 5 hairsprays and what you can use them for.

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray is my number one pick.  It is not only a personal preferrance for hairsprays, but it allows the user soo much versatility.  Here are the benefits of using Sebastian’s Re-Shaper Hairspray.

Sebastian Re Shaper:

  • Allows you to easily change hairstyles throughout the day and still hold your hair
  • Lets your be able to brush through your hair and it will allow you to maintain your style
  • Hold your style in heavy humidity
  • Is a weightless formula so you don’t have a heavy hairdo and hairstyle on top of your head
  • Helps you to control frizzy hair
  • Is a solid holding spray that will keep your style all day
  • Can be combined with a Gel to create a wet look
  • Can be air dried and used with heated appliances to give you a natural look
  • Can  be applied to damp or dry hair
  • Allows for movement and non stiff or sticky hold
Tri Aerogel Styling Spray

Tri Aerogel Styling Spray

So the Tri Aerogel Styling Spray is one of the newest and hottest hairsprays on the market today.   What makes this spray different is that instead of being an actual hairspray it is a hair gel base that is in an aerosol can and although it would technically be a spray gel and not a hair spray, it also actually comes out as a mist and not a spray so it is technically a hair misting styling spray, but because of how it holds and the look and feel, I think it is appropriate to include the Tri Aerogel Styling Spray in the hairspray category for this post.  And it technically is a spray that styles your hair and does spray so it does sort of count.

Tri Aerogel Styling Spray:

  • Is a gel based hair styling product
  • Sprays like a mist instead of a hard and heavy spray
  • Is safe for all hair types
  • Gives you a moveable non stiff hold
  • Allows you to still be able to brush your hair and style it, unlike actual hair gel
  • Works great to hold fine hair in place
  • Works as a root lifter and a fixative as well
Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping And Control Myst 10 Oz

Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping And Control Myst 10 Oz

Rusk w8less extra hold shaping and control myst is an amazing hairspray that uses a weightless formula to hold your hair and allows your to combine it with other stylign prodicts for a wet sleek look or if you use it alone you can get a natural look that holds.

The extra hold formula in the Rusk W8less Hairspray gives you all day and evening hold and this is one that also does not have a greasy or sticky feeling and mess with it.

Rusk W8less Extra Hold and Control Myst:

  • W8less formula that does not feel heavy
  • No greasy or sticky feeling
  • Mysts onto your hair instead of spraying all over
  • Adds in a natural shine
  • Safe to use on wet hair or dry hair
  • Can be used with heated appliances like Hairdryers
Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray

Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray

This is one of our very favorite hairsprays at Haircare Discounters.  Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray not only has hemp seed oils in it to strengthen and protect your hair from damage, but the oils actually add in a natural shine and because this is one of their volume products, you know you are going to get amazing body and hold without your hair deflating.

  • Does not have a greasy or sticky feeling
  • Lightweight formula
  • Provides a firm hold
  • Locks in volume to help protect your hair from deflating
  • Contains the Alterna Enzymetherapy formulas
Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray

Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray

Brocato is an amazing hair product line that is not new to the market, but is new to many people.  Their products become addictive as they deliver exactly what they say they will and that is why soo many people love them.  Although there are a few different hairsprays from Brocato, the one I am enjoyng most right now is the Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray. If you want a stronger longer hold, they do offer a stronger holding spray which is available at Haircare Discounters as well.

Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray:

  • Gives you moveable hold
  • Infused with Wheat and Keratin Proteins to protect your hair

How to create alternative hairstyles and be able to wash your hair.

  • Posted on August 18, 2009 at 8:34 pm

So when I was looking through our product lines and thinking about something fun to write today, I realized that it is almost back to school time and for high school and college students that means new trends, new cliques and possibly finding new hobbies.

With those new groups of friends and new ideas thoughts or beliefs that come with them, a lot of times you find yourself buying new clothes to match your friends and their cliques or you do it because you hadn’t seen anything like it before and think it is just a really cool look.  However, with the new clothes and new looks comes new hairdos and hairstyles and with a new hairstyle, you sometimes need new products.

For example, if you had natural looks all through highschool or junior high, but you are now starting to listen to punk music or goth music and are dying your hair, your old shampoos and conditioners may not be as effective or good for your hair so you should start to look at color protecting shampoos and conditioners as well as color protecting styling products that help to repair and replenish your hair so that it is strong and healthy.

TIGI BedHead Dumb Blonde Shampoo Damage Treated 13.5 Oz Pump

TIGI BedHead Dumb Blonde Shampoo Damage Treated 13.5 Oz Pump

If you go blond for example, one of my favorite product lines for people who lighten their hair is TIGI and their Dumb Blonde Shampoo product however I used a different conditioner just because I liked the way the other conditioner smelled, even though it wasn’t a smart one to use on color treated hair.  I used to actually use them myself when I was a blond because they not only repaired my hair and made it safe to style and prevented the breakage and split ends from bleaching my hair to white, but it also did not stain or damage the color which many other products would have done.

You’re also going to want to use styling products that will actually help to repair and reverse the damage done by coloring it so that your hair does not start to break and fall out.  You need to be careful when you are using colors and chemicals if you have never dyed your hair before because they really can effect your hair and if you don’t buy products that repair the damage you can end up with tangled, dry and damaged hair, and if your styling products are not for colored hair either, your color could fade, you could further add to the damage and possible have your hair start to break and fall out.  So if you are dying your hair and still need to style it, I recommend looking at the Alterna Hemp styling products because they are infused with Hemp Seed Oil Extracts that actually help strengthen your hair and add shine back to your hair so it not only feels healthier, it also looks healthier and has more life to it.

Now, one alternative style that drives me crazy is the dreadlock.  And trust me I dread them.  Most people who have them get them y not washing their hair and then twisting it which to me is gross.  There is no reason on earth why you shouldn’t clean your hair.  Hygiene is seriously important and the hair care industry is advanced enough that they have created product that can easily achieve these hairstyles without you having to stop washing your hair or taking care of yourself.

Sebastian for example created a Fiber infused Sculpting Mud and a Clay that has a matte finish and can easily be used to create dreadlocks and other alternative messy hair styles so that you can still shower and have clean hair and also have that messy fun hippy look that you want.  Dreadlocks don’t have to be dirty any more and there is no reason to not wash your hair so if you want dreads or other messy styles, just buy a sculpting mud or clay and twist it in your hair after washing and you’ll still be able to have your dreadlocks, but in clean healthy and happy hair.

Going back to school is a very exciting time for people and also a scary one for parents as you never know what your kids will come home looking like or what their hair will look like.  But just remember, they are still your kids and although you may not understand why they want rainbow hair or huge messy dreadlocks, you can at least protect their hair and help to reverse the damage done to it by getting them the correct products to properly repair the damage and get their hair looking healthy again.

Find Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel In Stock Here

  • Posted on August 13, 2009 at 12:37 am

Something that shocked me today was finding out that apparently Sebastian, one of the most fabulous product lines of hair products, has apparently decided to take one of their most popular products off of the market.  Whether this is true or not is one thing, but one thing is for sure, as of today we still have 6 pallets of Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel and if this product has been canceled we will definitely be picking up some more so we can have it in stock as long as possible for all of you.

So what makes this product so popular, well besides that it was created by Sebastian?

That is simple, most hair gels are just clumpy or not so smooth.  They leave your hair heavy and your hands sticky and your forehead and scalp dirty.  I know that when I used to use gel I hated the way it left my scalp feeling caked and heavy and when I would go out if it was a hot day, the gel would feel like it was melting and start running down my face.

I hated this feeling and it wasn’t until I stopped using gel because of the mess that it created that I ended up discovering Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel which if I would have found would have kept me using gel on my hair.  Now, sometimes I do use gel on my own hair if the style calls for it and the hair gel I reach for first is the Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel which is why I am in shock that this product has been rumored to be discontinued. However, since this rumor is out there, I am going to buy a few extra bottles of Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel for myself just in case, but don’t worry because when we checked out inventory after hearing this news we do have 6 pallets and will be looking for more to help keep Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel in stock so you can have it for a long time as well.

Another reason that people love the Sebsatian Wet Gel so much is that even though it is meant to be put on wet or damp hair, if you apply it and then brush it and blow dry it out, you’ll find that you can still get all of the benefits of this hair gel, but your hair will not have that sleek wet look and be able to move around a bit more and be able to hold it’s shape and still have some texture to it.

The holding power of Sebastian WET gel on both wet and dry hair is the main reason people love this product and this hold allows it to be versatile and work on many different hairstyles for both men and women and that is why I was in shock when I heard it may be discontinued.  So buy Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel today just in case this rumor is true.

Now suppose we would run out of this gel for some reason, there is another hair gel that I do like from Rusk and it is just as fabulous in that it is a weightless formula as well and can be used just as easily and is as versatile as the Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel.

Rusk Jel FX

Rusk Jel FX

Rusk Special FX Jel has the power to hold your hair just like the Sebastian Jel, except instead of being a light weight formula, Rusk is a weightless formula and has all of the same holding power and versatility of the Sebastian Gels.

Now, although I did say I only use the Sebastian Gel above, I secretly do love the Rusk gel just as much.  Both products are perfect and if for some reason the Sebastian gel is discontinued, the perfect substitute product is the Rusk Jel FX and I encourage you to buy a tube of it just to try and test it out so that if the Sebastian is discontinued you will be prepared with a back up hair gel that you will love just as much.

You can currently buy both the Sebastian Wet Gel and Rusk Jel FX on HaircareDiscounters.com and we encourage you to change them out and see how you can use both equally as well and they both hold and look just as fabulous as each other.

If Sebastian has discontinued this product, lets hope that they have an equally as fabulous new hair gel coming out but in case they do not, try the Rusk and we know that you will love this product just as much if not more.  So in case Sebastian has sold out of their wet gel, buy Rusk Jel FX Here.

How to have hair that holds up to Humidity.

  • Posted on July 15, 2009 at 11:42 pm

So the one question many women who suffer from frizzy hair have in their minds when traveling to somewhere that the humidity is absolutely horrible is, “What can I do to combat the frizz and hold my hair the way it should be held?”.   This question is a common one and a concern, especially when traveling, so we would like to help you solve this problem so that the next time you are off to the beach, tanning or relaxing by the lake, Living it up in the French Quarter of New Orleans or just having fun with family and friends, you will be able to focus on enjoying yourself and not wondering what is happening with your hair.

The first thing to think about is how you style your hair.  What types of products are you using and are they effective enough to last all day long?  You also have to remember that when you travel, space is limited so your hair products and appliances have to be compact enough to fit in your suitcase or bags and still be enough to get you through the day and night.  This is where we come in to help you not only keep your do looking fabulous, but also help to keep you with enough space in your suitcase so that you can fit your gear and still have some room for souveniers.

So anyways, on to the purpose of this entry:

How to have hair that holds up to Humidity.

The first thing we recommend for people with frizzy and troubled is to pick the proper appliances and products that you will need to not only fit in your suitcase, but to be able to style your hair quick and keep the look all day.  Here are our product recommendations for keeping the frizz out of your hair and all the fun with your family and friends, not fudging with folical fix-ups.

1.  A hair appliance that is not only compact, but effective and versatile.

Two products that we love are the:

CHI Nano Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1

CHI Nano Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1"


Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Concave/Convex Hair Iron

Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Concave/Convex Hair Iron

These two irons are absolutely perfect for a person who suffers from frizzy hair when they hit an area that has humidity.  These are quick heating irons that easily straighten your hair or if you use them for styling, can leave you with the curls you are looking for.  Both the light blue 1″ CHI Nano Ceramic hair iron and the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Concave/Convex Irons are versatile enough to straighten hair, style hair for curls, waves or even form your hair into bobs and because of the technology behind them and materials used in them to treat your hair, they heat in an instant and help to keep and hold your hair in place longer and help to prevent frizzing or styles coming undone from humidity.  The CHI Nano Hair Iron and Babyliss Pro Nano Hair Iron are also both compact enough that they should easily be able to fit in your suitcase so that you can take them with you on your trip and not have to worry about an extra bag or schleping them on the plane as a carry on item.

2.  Hairsetters and Rollers.

So now that we have appliances ready for you to use to create a long lasting do that will start fighting frizzy hair because of humidity, it is time for a complimentary product to the Irons so that you can set your hair properly.  This is where Babyliss comes back into play.

Babyliss BABCHV14 - Pro Ceramic 12 Roller Hairsetter

Babyliss BABCHV14 - Pro Ceramic 12 Roller Hairsetter

Babyliss has one of the most popular hair setters on the market. They are the Babyliss Pro Ceramic Roller Hairsetters and boy do they do the job.  They use a special technology combined with the materials used on the actual rollers to not only heat at an instant, but help style and set your hair without causing the damage that inferior rollers and setters cause.  By starting your do with these ceramic rollers from Babyliss and then using the irons for shaping and curl reduction, you are on your way to a full fledged fabulous hairdo that can start to stand up to humidity and protect you from frizzy hair.

Now, the Babyliss Ceramc Hair Roller or Hairsetter kit is a bit bulky which is why I recommended it after the irons which could create the same curls (just take a bit longer), but if you have the room in your suitcase, pack these bad boys up and you’ll be on your way to a frizz free day of fun in no time.

3.  Now the final touch, a product that allows for movement and bounce, but also keeps your hair under control and not looking greasy or clumpy.

Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hair Spray

Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hair Spray

This is one of the secret weapons I recommend to ladies, and gentlemen, who have frizz issues when it comes to heat and humidity.  It is a life saving spray that you absolutely cannot live without.  It is the famous Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray and it is defined for this exact type of issue.  How do you control frizzy hair in humidity or in general.

The Sebastian brand of hair products saw this issue and came up with this magnificant forumla to help in this situation.  They invented a hairspray that was made to stand up to heavy humidity and keep your hair in place.  As with many of the other Hairsprays by Sebastian, Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray is properly named shaper plus because it actually does hold the shape of your hair without letting it get effected or frizz as it was developed to withstand heavily humid climates and places.  The thing I love most about it is that it also looks and feels just like the other Sebastian lines of sprays where your hair looks natural, it moves, flows, and then falls back into place without getting frizzed and out of shape.  The Sebastian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray is really the key component to preventing frizzy hair caused by humidity, however you do need to do the proper prep work before hand since one simple spray cannot do everything on it’s own.  It just maintains and holds its place to make sure your hard work prepping and styling your hair does not go wasted.

In short, if you want a potential solution for keeping your style stylish and not getting frizzy or falling from humidity, you need to:

  1. Set your hair with rollers or setters (space permitting if you are traveling)
  2. Use the proper appliances to style your hair like the CHI or Babyliss Hair Irons
  3. Use my secret weapon, the Sebsatian Pro Shaper Plus Hairspray to hold your do in place all day and night long.

We hope you found this helpful in your fight against friz and if you need or would like any of the products mentioned, please feel free to visit our store by click this link to go to Haircare Discounters.
