Dove UltraCare Collection Review.

Your hair is unique. Shouldn’t your conditioner be, too? I wanted to be one of the first to tell you about Dove’s NEW UltraCare collection, the brand’s first-ever customized conditioner series.

Available in three different formats (a foam, milk gel and crème!) and formulated with our patented Micro-Conditioning Complex, it’s designed to deliver the right level of nourishment that truly gets your hair. Providing a whole new way to choose the right levels of nourishment for your hair type, it’ll leave your hair nourished, healthy looking and cared for.

Dove UltraCare Conditioners is the brand’s first-ever conditioner series with three customized formats to care for your hair.

Crème: The most potent conditioner in the range, contains the highest levels of innovative Dove Micro-Nourishing Complex to fortify and instantly smooth each strand to look glossy and healthy. While the Micro-Conditioning Complex and unique patented conditioner technology nourish and visibly repair hair from the outside, Keratin Repair Actives get to work at the core of every strand, helping to strengthen hair’s internal bonds.

Milk Gel: The innovative foaming technology utilizes tiny bubbles of moisture to ensure that the formula is lighter than a conventional conditioner and can run through hair with ease, detangling, smoothing and hydrating hair in an instant.

Foam: The glossy Milk Gel formula contains powerful plant-based moisturizing agents, able to replace the heavy waxes used in conventional conditioners, to supply the much-needed moisture without the weight.


My Thoughts:


I've been a fan of Dove products for many years. I was raised using their soap that was always extremely moisturizing for my sensitive skin. As I got older, I fell in love with their body washes. When I heard Dove was coming out with the UltraCare collection, it was so exciting. Dove was kind enough to share this line with me and I can't want wait to share it with you. Thank you, Dove!

Having fine, thin hair, I could not wait to try the foam line. Never hearing of foam conditioners before, this was such a unique product line that quickly became my favorite. After dispensing it in the shower, it smelled amazing. Not too strong, but just enough to add a classy fragrance. What I noticed about the foam conditions is that they deposit very nicely and saturate the hair follicles without feeling heavy.

My first foam attempt was with the Weightless Volume conditioner. After blow drying my hair, I was shocked at the volume I had. Not only did it liven my hair, it did indeed feel weightless. The best part? The volume stayed all day! Unlike other styling products that eventually fade, my hair remained looking vibrant and full of life. The second Foam conditioner was the Weightless Moisture. I loved this one! It made my scalp feel hydrated and left a soft, shiny sheen to my hair. This one also felt just as weightless as the other and had a similar unique scent.


The second conditioners I tried were the Balanced Repair Milk Gel and the Balanced Moisture Milk Gel. This was an interesting texture and great smell. I wouldn't say it's a gel as much as a thick serum almost. Still, it went on extremely well and felt very silky on my scalp. After showering I noticed that it did indeed make my hair look more radiant. The difference between the Balanced Repair and the Balanced Moisture was that one left my scalp feeling more hydrated and shiny, while the Repair added more texture and natural bounce. My mom tried both lines as well and said it was like it put life back into her damaged hair.

Lastly, I had the unique Concentrated Repair Creme and Concentrated Moisture Creme conditioners. These are great for hair that are thick in texture and very dry or damaged. Since my hair is fine, I took only a little bit of the thick creamy conditioner. I was quick to see that a little does go a long way. As for fragrance, these were the strongest smelling and it was delightful. Not only did the creme make my hair feel extremely soft and lightweight, the smell stayed with me.

If you are looking for a new line of conditioners to upgrade to or try, I highly recommend Dove's UltraCare line. These are all incredible and give higher end brands a run for their money. I will certainly be continuing to use these in my beauty routine.

My Thoughts:


I recently fell in love with coloring my hair at home. It feels like the ultimate self care day. However, with the amount of harsh chemicals within the market dyes, I knew I needed to find one that was safe. That's when I discovered, Iroiro Colors! The shades on their website were vibrant, bright, and of course contained a natural formula! The first ingrediant that stood out to me was the coconut oil. I currently use it in my beauty regime so seeing that was very exciting!

When the samples arrived I could not wait to give them a try. As advised, I began with the strand test. The colors I tried were Iro Red, Iro Dark Red, and Iro Pink. My natural hair color is a sandy blonde so I decided to try the shades on that rather that lighten them. The first thing I noticed was the hair dyed smelled amazing! No harsh smells whatsoever, just a sweet scent of the Yuzu Cranberry. Each dye was quite thick. It made it easy to spread across the strands. You can see the results of the strand test here:


Although I enjoyed all the colors, I adored the Iro Red the most. It came across the best for my natural color. Spreading the Iro Red was simple with how thick the formula was. It went perfectly from root to tip with no dripping! During the process of the coloring I allowed the product to sit in my hair for a little over an hour due to having sandy colored hair. It did not bother my scalp whatsoever. It felt like a hydrating mask.

Iro Red washed out nicely and did not dye my tub or my bathroom. The first wash was simple and effective! My hair felt incredibly soft and smooth. The color was bright, vibrant and truly beautiful! The color has stayed put well over the course of the last few weeks. As of now the roots are beginning to show a bit and the red has begun to fade into a lovely pink, but it is still just as gorgeous.


I was amazed by the results I received using Iroiro Colors! I have been getting lots of compliments by family, friends, clients, even strangers about the new look! Knowing that I can finally have red hair again without fears of damage is wonderful! I used to have to go to the salon constantly years ago just to maintain it, but not anymore! I can't wait to keep using this product! Thank you so much, Iroiro! I could not be more grateful!

Maintain your Color with Celebrity Colorist, Cassondra Kaeding & the Dove Color Care Collection




With the holidays approaching, everyone wants to look their best so what better time to lock in that fresh-hair-color vibrancy than now? After all, no one wants to look back at their holiday photos thinking, “OMG, why didn’t anyone tell me my hair looked like that?”

Luckily, Dove Hair partnered with Celebrity Colorist Cassondra Kaeding (clients include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jen Atkin, Ciara, Adrienne Bailon, and Olivia Munnin support of the Dove Color Care Collection to share the top tricks for keeping color-treated hair looking vibrant!


Celebrity Colorist Cassondra Kaeding’s Top Tips for Maintaining Color-Treated Hair

1.       After coloring your hair, try to wait at least 24 hours before jumping back into your regular shampoo and condition routine, as the color needs time to process and set into your hair. In the meantime, you can use a dry shampoo, such as Dove Refresh+Care Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo for a quick & easy refresh!

2.       After coloring your hair, I can’t stress enough that maintenance is key to ensure your hair looks healthy and vibrant – even weeks after you’ve left the salon! Dyed hair can easily become dry and lose vibrancy if you’re not taking the right steps at home, so I tell my clients to use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner, such asDove Color Care, which features coconut and almond oils, to keep hair color from fading.

3.       For my bleach blondes, I recommend a bi-weekly treatment with purple shampoo – it’s an absolute must. While your color safe shampoo keeps your hair vibrant, the violet pigments in purple shampoos are an added bonus for blondes, as it works as a toner to help neutralize any potentially brassy color. Make sure to only use the purple shampoo once every two weeks, though, as using it too frequently will make your color look drab.


4.       If your hair is dark and you’re hoping to go lighter, it may take several sessions in order to achieve your desired results. Over processing your hair in a short amount of time may cause the pH levels of your hair to become imbalanced and cause your cuticles to swell, which can cause further damage.
My Thoughts

Dove Nutritive Solutions is the newest addition to the Dove line. The first thing I noticed when I tried out this shampoo and conditioner combo is the wonderful scent. It has a light fragrance that is invigorating without being overpowering. The shampoo creates a generous lather even with just a small quarter sized amount, and leaves hair feeling soft and clean. The conditioner did not leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy like other brands, but still made it easier to get out all the tangles. After just a few days of using these products, I saw a marked improvement in the condition of my hair. There are less split ends, its much healthier and thicker. The variety I tried was the Color Care option, which is great for anyone who is trying to hide those pesky grays. It will help your color last longer.

You'll love how soft and luxurious your hair feels when you use these Dove products. After just one application, the difference is obvious.  Plus, the fragrance is wonderful. It's never overbearing, but always refreshing. Like all Dove products, its great for those with sensitive skin.  To learn more about the Dove Intensive Repair and the Nutritive Solutions line or any of their products, be sure to visit their website or follow them on social  media. Look for the new product in stores nationwide including Walmart and Target.

Tea Tree Shampoo from Maple Holistic




Our Natural Tea Tree Oil Shampoo is the hair care solution you've been dreaming of! Boasting wonderful therapeutic benefits thanks to the incredible effects of natural tea tree oil, this shampoo can improve hair and scalp health while promoting hair growth and even slowing hair loss. Suitable for men, women, and children, our Tea Tree Oil Shampoo is cruelty-free, parabens-free, GMO-free, and gluten free.

My Thoughts

All my life I've struggled to add some body to my limp, fine hair. I've looked on with envy at women with long, thick tresses, wishing I had half their luster. Using the Maple Holistic Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner has been a godsend for me. Even after just a few days, I noticed a big difference in my hair. It seemed healthier, with less split ends, and it almost glowed with a radiance it has always lacked. It even appeared thicker. It was a noticeable difference that people have been commenting on every day.

There were two products I received to try out. The first and my favorite is the shampoo. It lathers nicely and left my hair feeling soft and clean. It has a light, refreshing fragrance. I could definitely pick up the scent of the tea tree essential oil. I used this in combination with the conditioner which left my hair tangle tree. My hair is fine and usually tangles easily, but for once that wasn't an issue.  The combination of this powerful duo has given me a wonderful shine and healthy looking hair that was beyond my wildest dreams. Best of all, it was done using all natural and homeopathic ingredients, including tea tree which is one of my favorite essential oils..

Overall, I am really happy with the results of the Maple Holistic Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner combo. Personally, I had great results and I know I'll be recommending these hair care products to all my friends.

A 15 Minute Beauty Quick Fix!


Whether you had a late night, a long week at the office or just simply need a quick refresher to rejuvenate – I think we can all agree that turning to some rescue beauty products can be a lifesaver.   The Green Tea & Carrot Deep Strengthening & Restorative Mask Treatment by the Mane Choice is your 15 minute hair pick me up!

Massage gently into hair, especially the ends and distribute evenly. Leave on for 15min or an hour! $17.99, themanechoice.com.

My Thoughts:



Having thin hair, I often am faced with many issues when it comes to styling. Everything from humidity to the cold weather can leave my tresses looking dry and brittle. I try to stay away from too many styling products, especially in the summer, but sometimes when a night out comes up, you have to pull out the flat iron, hair dryer, and tough styling products to keep your style in place. I'm someone who loves natural treatments for my hair. This mask from the Mane Choice sounded perfect with it's natural oils and leaf extracts. 

Here is what the Green Tea and Carrot Deep Strengthening and Restorative Mask Treatment assists you with:

●Promotes growth & retention
●Hydrates & moisturize
●Minimize damage & breakage
●Repairs and restores damage
●Strengthens, fights shedding, & breakage 
●Adds moisture & hydration 
●Improves manageability & elasticity
●Great for natural, relaxed, permed, and colored treated hair


Ingredients:

Aqua (Purified Water), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Honey Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea) Extract, Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Biotin, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, , Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Non- Sulfate Derived From Rapeseed Oil), Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Panthenol, Fragrance (Essential Oil Blend), Silk Amino Acids, Citric Acid.

When the mask arrived I was very pleased with the overall smell! I would say the scent of carrot stood out the most, with a hint of earthy green tea. The product was a nice consistency that made it easy to spread through the strands of my hair and to the roots. Like advised, I left the mask on for about 15 minutes while I finished up my shower. Depending on your needs, this treatment can be left on for an hour if you prefer under a cap without heat needing to be added. 


Due to having thin hair, the 15 mark was perfect for me. My hair felt amazing afterwards! It was soft, smooth, shiny, and manageable. After a couple weeks of use, I did see some volume being added! I truly love this product and intend on continuing my use of it!

BioRepair-8 Anti-aging Scalp & Hair Therapy System Review






Did you know that more the 40% of women suffer from thinning hair or loss? I know my hair has become much thinner than my younger days. I figured it was just aging and the many years of coloring. I have found the ColorProof BioRepair-8 Anti-Aging Scalp & Hair Therapy System and am liking the results. 



I colored my hair for too many years, more than 20+ years. Not any longer. I went completely natural about 2 years ago. I have salt and pepper gray hair inherited from my father. He was salt and pepper at an early age 30. I made the decision to embrace my gray to protect my scalp from further damage. I figured the thinning was just a by product of all the chemicals.

BioRepair-8 is a 3 step system which takes no longer than average showering hair care.















Step 1 - is the anti-aging shampoo. The shampoo produces a lot of luxurious lather. The brush included is used with the shampoo to gently exfoliate the scalp. I like using the brush! It feels like an invigorating massage to my scalp. The brush helps to clear impurities from the skin in preparation for the next two steps. The shampoo contains Alpha-Hydroxy acids to remove dead skin cells plus natural DHT blockers.





Step 2 - is the anti-thinning conditioner. The conditioner goes on smoothly. It contains an AG-Stem Cell complex nourish the scalp and follicles. I have noticed much stronger hair with a incredible softness from the conditioner.



Step 3 - is the BioRepair-8 Stem Cell Scalp Serum. A few drops is applied and left in. No rinsing required. The serum works for 24 hours providing long lasting anti-aging protection and restoration. It comes in a bottle with a dropper, making it easy to apply.



My results - Using the BioRepair-8 products have made a wonderful difference in my hair and scalp. I have noticed much stronger hair. I have seen much less hair fallout. My hair stylist has also noticed a different in how much thicker my hair is. She had commented previously that my hair was thinning. During my recent visit, she mentioned my hair was much thicker and more healthy. My husband has also noticed the difference. He says it is less gray, but I am not so sure about that. I am happy with the results in the few short weeks of trying. I can't wait to see the results with continued usage.

I love the scalp exfoliating brush! It wakes up my scalp and just feels good to use. If there where anything I would improve on, it would be the fragrance. I would prefer a more feminine scent maybe in a citrus or floral. It does have an earthy type of aroma. It is not too unpleasant, but I wish it smelled better.

The ColorProof BioRepair-8 Anti-aging Scalp & Hair Therapy products are safe for color treated hair. It works nicely on my natural hair too! I am thrilled with the results!

Purchase BioRepair-8 products at selected salons nationwide or online from ColorProof.

My Thoughts

I have heard more than once that you really aren't supposed to wash your hair every day because it strips it of its essential oils. Well, that might be fine for some people, but I have extra oily hair. By the end of the day, it can look greasy and dirty. There is no way I could possibly go a day without washing it because I will look like a total dirt ball.  At least, that's how it used to be. Now, I've found a product that will eliminate the need for me to wash  my hair every single day and I will still have fresh, clean hair.  That product is the TRESemmé Fresh Start Basic Care Dry Shampoo .

I know it sounds crazy, but I really didn't think it would work at first. It actually took me a few days to work up the courage to skip the shampoo when I was in the shower. But finally I did it. I got dressed and was horrified and my stringy, greasy hair.  Then, I sprayed in the dry shampoo thinking it couldn't possibly do anything and I would have to jump back in the shower. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. After spraying the dry shampoo on my roots and combing it through, my hair looked great. It was healthy and shiny and even had more volume than it normally does. Plus, it saved me the time of having to shampoo, condition. and rinse both out. In ten seconds I had perfect hair. I was amazed! I really can't recommend this product enough. Especially to busy moms with little babies who sometimes don't have the time for a shower.

Milk & Sass Macaron for Hair - #Giveaway




Bath time has always been a challenge for the girls in my household. We all have very fine hair that tangles easily. When I have to comb out my toddler's hair, there is always screaming and crying, and even my tween will whine a little. When I would bush my own hair, which is about half way down my back, I would always wind up ripping out patches. But none of these things are a problem anymore, thanks to the amazing Milk & Sass Macaron for Hair
.

The Milk & Sass Macaron for Hair is a detangling brush that really lives up to its claims. The specially designed bristles remove knots from hair like magic. It doesn't matter if your hair is curly or straight, thick or thin. This brush can handle anything. When I used the brush on my toddler, she hardly realized I was even touching her hair. In just a few strokes, we were done brushing it out. It doesn't split ends or rip out the knots, yet it somehow untangles even the worst knots. Its amazing, and it has been a life saver in my house.




The brush comes in a compact design that will fit easily into handbags or diaper bags. In addition to all this, each brush has a mirror built right in.  I was thrilled with the Milk & Sass Macaron for Hair. I will never go back to another brush again.
