Did you go straight or curly this fall?

  • Posted on November 15, 2009 at 10:14 pm

So it looks like everyone went straight and curly this fall with their hair styles.  Hair Irons sold like crazy and so did straight and curly hair shampoos.  The one thing that a lot of people are finding out though is that even though they started to use new products and styling and heated tools on their hair, they are also finding out the damage that these tools can cause to their hair and now are starting to try hair masks, hair oils and hair treatments so I wanted to go over a few types of products to help you with your dry and damaged hair from tools and styling products from curling and straightening your hair this last fall.

The first type of product you might want to try are oil treatements.

Women have been using hair oils and oil treatments on their hair for years because they are not only easy to use, but they help to give you almost instant results and instantly better looking and feeling hair.  The thing though is that hair oils and oil treatments are usually kind of hard to use and take a while.  Especially hot oil treatments for your hair.  However, thanks to the MoroccanOil company we now have the MoroccanOil Oil Treatment which doesn’t need heated up and can easily be used to help repair the damage done to your hair but also help to make it look a lot healthier and like your hair was naturally straight or curly and with the argan oils shine enhancer, your hair might even look better than natural.

Hair Masks are also an amazing way to not only help to recharge your hairs natural look and feel, but also help to repair the damage and harm done to your hair from all of the heated tools and appliances.  Some of the most popular hair masks come from L’oreal and Kerastase, but a brand new hair mask that is also becoming really popular because it is made for all hair types is the hair mask from It’s a Ten.  If your hair isn’t damaged from heat, but is just seriously dry, you may also want to try the MoroccanOil Intense Hydrating Mask which is also made for all hair types and works great for seriously dry and damaged hair.  Hair Masks are also popular not only because they work and they are easy to use, but if you buy a good one it can also help to give you almost instant results and help your hair start to look healthier and better after the first time you use the hair mask.

If you decided to curl or straighten your hair this fall to keep up with fashion trends and to keep up with styles, you should definitely look at buying a hair oil treatment or trying to use a hair mask, especially before winter comes and new hair trends and new hair styles start to make their way into the salons and styles.  You will also want to repair your hair before the cold winter air starts to effect it and cause even more damage.

So what is a conditioning balm, why would you use one and why is the Biolage Conditioning Balm soo popular?

A conditioning Balm is a hair care product that is normally used to to help add moisture back into brittle and dry hair.  However, even if your hair isn’t like straw or isn’t breaking, conditioning balms can be used to help replenish the moisture lost while running around in the sun, laying in tanning beds, being in areas where there is a lot of dry air and other things like using heated styling tools and blow dryers that can dry out your hair and remove the moisture that your hair needs to look and feel healthy.  So conditioning balms are actually used for a ton of different dry and damaged hair problems and not only for people who have seriously dry and damaged hair.  Many people actually use it regularly so that they can keep their hair feeling and looking healthy and hydrated, even though you cannot tell they need it in order to help prevent future damage and futher damage from every day things that heat and dry your hair.  The Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm isn’t only for people with severly dry and damaged and brittle hair, it is actually for everyone or anyone who wants to help maintain and help restore moisture and health back to their hair or even help to protect it from damage and future damage.

One way you can use the Biolage Conditioning Balm is to apply it to your hair before you go swimming in any water that is chemically treated like pool or hot tub water which normally has chlorine and bromine or other harmful chemicals that can dry out and damage your hair.  The Biolage Conditioning Balm works as a tool to water log your hair before you go in the water and while you are swimming it works to help keep the harmfull chemicals and the chemically treated water from being able to sink into and absorb into your hair helping to leave your hair not only looking and feeling healtheir but also helps to keep your hair less damaged and dry looking.  This product is amazingly versatile and one of our best sellers for soo many reasons.

important things to remember when dieting

  • Posted on September 23, 2009 at 6:17 am

So I have been dieting for a couple weeks and am starting to get into shape for my trip to California.  The thing that I noticed though that I did not expect was that my skin and hair would dry out.  I am sure it had something to do with my flu and drying me out but what I learned was to amp up my hydrating conditioners for my hair and use a stronger moisturizer.

Now, I am not saying that you should do this, but I noticed this morning that my skin just looked really dehydrated and my was healthy but was starting to dry.  The worst though was when I opened my cucumber and tonic mask (we don’t carry this one yet) and it had dried so I couldn’t deep clean and tighten but thank gosh my spf 17 moisturizer was still in tact.

So when I noticed all of this I decided that dry skin and dry hair is not ok and I took action.  This might not work for you since everyone has different skin types, but I took my other deep cleaning mask, mixed in some honey and started to clean my face.  I then took my moisturizer and applied it to my face.  I then went jogging and when I came back I showered and cleaned my face then applied another round of my spf 17 moisturizer and in the shower I used my sample of Alterna Ten Conditioner and Moroccan Oil and although my face started to look a lot healthier, my hair looked 100% amazing and completely back to health.  I should have taken pictures ahead of time because the shots would have been amazing.  If you have not tried the Alterna Ten Conditioner or MoroccanOil Oil Treatments yet, you seriously are missing what is in my opinion an amazing combination of products and my hair looks and feels like it is a million times better.  It seriously was an amazing difference and I am going to swear by these products now.

Now remember, everyone has different skin and hair types, so although these products did wonders for me, they may not work the same, but I seriously recommend you give them a try as I am in love with Alterna now and I have always been a fan of MoroccanOil and think that you all seriously need to try them for yourself.  For the skin creams, when we carry the ones that I use on a daily basis I will definitely be doing a ton of posts for them, but for now you seriously need to try the Conditioner and MoroccanOil Treatment that I used today if you see your hair starting to dry out.  You are seriously going to love these products and they will help to get your hair not only looking more healthy and full of life but if you end up loving them as much as I do, you will seriously never be able to stop using them again.

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

Hi everyone, I normally don’t product blog until Fridays featured product Fridays posts, but I have been playing with a product that a ton of people already know about because I wanted to see what all of the hype was.  Normaly I stick to hair masks and leave in deep hydrating conditioners, but when I noticed a ton of people looking for good deals on the Biolage Conditioning Balm I decided to give it a try and see what everyone is going on about and why everyone is going crazy for the Matrix Conditioning Formula.

When looking through the ingredients and the different uses, I found that this is actually probably one of the most versatile conditioners on the Market today.  I wish I had found it sooner because it would have been one of the perfect products to include in my Before you Jump In The Pool this Labor day post as the Biolage Conditioning Balm also helps to protect your hair from chemical damage like Chlorine and Bromine by helping to block the chemicals from ever reaching your hair, just like water logging your hair with tap or natural water before going swimming, so it would have been a great tip and still is a great tip for people who are looking to find out how to help better protect their hair from chemicals in pool water and while swimming.

The Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm is a light weight formula which is unique to this conditioner because most conditioners leave your hair feeling heavy and weighted, but this one is perfect for your hair if you hate that feeling since it leaves your hair feeling light and still gives you that rich full feeling, just not weighed down or feeling like it is going to fall.  I personally love when my hair feels light and free, even though I know that the products I use are keeping it in place, it just feels light so it seems like it is flowing freely.

Light weight formulas are more expensive as well normally, but when you try them out, you will seriously see the difference and never want to go back to heavy weighed down conditioners again.  The formula for Biolage Conditioning Balm is also mixed with Lemongrass and Sage which not only smells amazing, but also helps to protect and repair the damage done to your hair and leave it looking flexible, soft and really helps to bring back the elasticity that could have been lost from color treating your hair or styling damage.

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm also uses the moisturizing ingredients Aloe Vera and and algaes which everyone knows helps to repair, lock in and restore moisture in your hair.  This is important because when your hair’s natural moisture balance is on key, that is how your hair gets the natural shine that looks amazing and like you are using a shine spray or hair oil but not greasy or fake which is why these ingredients really help to make this product even better, especially if you have dry and brittle hair from going lighter, highlights, burning it from hot appliances like hair irons and other types of damage that leave your hair dry, brittle and breaking.

Overall I love this product now and cannot wait to really put it to the test on vacation to California in a couple weeks…I may even go blond again just to see how well it does with repairing bleach damage and then chlorine on top of it from the pool.  I’ll definitely keep you all updated on if I go blond and let you know how this worked and if you have tried the Biolage Conditioning Balm and loved it, or hated it, please feel free to respond here and let us know how it worked for you.

We also, have Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm on sale today for $27.50 which is over 38% off Salon Retail prices so if you want to try it, or if you need to buy more of it, this is the perfect time to refill, restock or give it a try.
