Review - Repairologie leave in treatment


Infuses the hair cuticle to help nourish and restore healthy texture and strengthens against damage.

This is my old standby. I believe I've actually been using it since high school (and I confess, that was some 18 years ago... wow that's weird to consider). Other leave in conditioners seem to (a) not work (b) make me a greaseball or (c) did i mention NOT WORK? But infusium has always worked for me, from the time of huge hairsprayed bangs and over moussed hair to using hot irons and curling irons way too much. It doesn't work absolute magic but I can tell, it prevents a lot of would-be damage, smells nice, and does the job. It's so cheap too, and a bottle seems to last me months and months and months. I've had the bottle I'm using now for well over a year. You just apply it to your towel dried hair, comb through, and do your business.

Review- Citre Shine Split End Mender Shine Miracle

Leave-in Treatment Replenishes Vitamins and Nutrients that Repair and Strengthen Split Ends. Leaves your Hair Smooth and Full of Brilliant ShineDaily Use prevents New Split ends from occurring by 90%.

I didn't really think this stuff would do anything special for me. I've been straightening my hair and dying the heck out of it for several years and I need constant maintenance of the ends of my hair (Read: cutting it all the time) to not get really bad damage. It's been just about time to trim my hair again and I decided to do an experiment, to just air dry my hair and not iron it afterward because the humidity is waning and my hair isn't as out of control as it usually is. I've also been using this stuff for about a week now, and my ends look sleek, fuzzless, and not frazzled or frizzy at all. So I think I can put off cutting it and actually grow my hair out a little, which I've been wanting to do for quite a while. I haven't found another split end mender that works like this. And it's cheap!

Review - Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray



This supercharged finishing spray helps prevent split ends and adds moisture to the hair. $28.00

I got a tremendous deal on a slew of hair products at a local salon a couple of weeks ago, 50% off. I couldn’t resist trying more of the Alterna Caviar line that I love so much. 9 out of 10 days I use an iron on my hair so when the stylist recommended this spray I jumped at the potential for smoother healthier locks. This bottle is small and potent. I gave my hair a once over and I am ready to rock. I did initially try using a lot more but quickly noticed that it made my doo greasy looking. I got a great shiney finish and this totally tames my unruly frizzies. I was told that I could use throughout the day but for the price of $28, it’s a once a day product for me. I insist that I don’t become dependent upon this for the simple price factor... It’s got a great light floral scent that is gone when the spray settles. I will tell you this: I do see some frizzies creeping back into the doo on humid days so this isn’t the end all miracle product... Also I was told that you can cocktail this line together to enhance the doo for better results. I have been using the line exclusively for 2 weeks and I love my hair so far!

Deedlejuse Says:

This company is sooooooooooo cool! They believe in fair trade, so they actually donate profit (I think) to the Miskito people of Central America. This helps ensure that the rainforests there will be protected. I love that story as much as I loved this mist! It smells awesome, very nutty and deep and spicy. It didn’t leave my hair smelling too strong either, sort of like a mini-perfume. It didn’t compete with other smells I was wearing, because it blended nicely. The spray was very light and didn’t leave my hair greasy, as some shine sprays can if you use too much. It really did leave my hair super shiny though, really beautiful. It my hair looked shiny and bright all day long. I would without a doubt buy this spray again, and I would probably try the rest of their products too… I love being pampered while I contribute to helping the world and environment!
