K is for Keratin!

Sorry I missed posting on Friday.  Avery would not allow it.   Speaking of the baby, my hair has looked like crap since I had her.  I have hair that needs to be maintained.... blow dried and I have been able to dry my hair all of 3 times.  My hair at this very moment is wavy and frizzy and puffy and out of control!  I am majorly craving soft and smooth hair!  How can I make this happen?  With a Keratin treatment of course!

About a year and a half or so ago I got the Coppola Complex Keratin Smoothing treatment done to my hair.  It was a splurge at $300 but worth EVERY single penny.  What is this you ask?  It is a salon treatment that infuses keratin into your hair.  In addition to being pricey it takes some time as it involves a full blow dry and flat ironing of your hair.  Additionally, you cannot wash your hair or tuck it behind your ear or put it in a ponytail for three full days.  Yes, that is hard.... but again the results make it all worth it!   IF you avoid washing your hair EVERY singleday (try every other day) the results will last months and months.  It also requires that you purchase a sulfate free shampoo.  I use Pureology and love love love it!   After this treatment my hair was frizz free and smooth and shiny.  It also cut my blow drying time in half making my hair so much lower maintenance.  It was AWESOME!   I was so bummed that I did not get this done right before I got pregnant!  (As you should avoid doing this when with child!)

I am counting down the days until I can do this again.  I am thinking in another month or so before I return to work.  There are a variety of different Keratin treatments out there but I can only speak to the Coppola one.

You definitely should do your homework to make sure this is right for you.  But, if you want to find some more information or locate a salon near you, check out their website.

Until next time....xoxo

M is for Moroccan Hair Oil!

My hair is very particular, much like the rest of me! My hair does not like rain or humidity or snow or... you get the idea. It also does not like just one thing all the time, it likes when I switch things up. So, I am often alternating between various hair products, like Chi's Silk Infusion (which I have blogged about before) and my current favorite, Moroccan Hair Oil.

This Moroccan Oil Treatment for all Hair Types .85 oz
is dreamy.  It leaves my hair soft and silky and frizz free. It also makes hair shiny but not greasy. I use this when I let my hair dry on its own, but mostly when I blow it out with a hair dryer. A little goes a long way, so although it is not cheap, it will las forever!

My only compaint is the bottle. You have to screw the top off, put a dollop in your hand and then try not to have it drip everywhere as you put the top back on. They need a squeeze top bottle or something! You can get Moroccan Hair Oil at good salons or my favorite place, Amazon.com.

It is heavenly. Your hair will thank you! Give it a try! Until next time....xoxo
