Hair Product Review

Hello Bellas,
hope you are all having a great week. I wanted to do a review today on Mane n' Tail's Hair Strengthener Spray. If you all didnt know, i was going crazy about my hair fallout, well i finally went to the doctor but they still cant seem to figure it out, they claim stress! psh! no way im ok but fine whatever. Anyways, before i went to the doctor i hit up Sally's to look for anything to help strengthen my hair. I came across Mane n' Tail.




On the bottle it says its a leave in conditioner, on the back of the bottle is says its suppose to help strengthen and maintain strength , protect from chemical styling and excessive heat.

The price of the bottle was around $5-$6 for a 6oz bottle.
which is not bad,well at the time i didnt care how much i spent lol

I like the clear packaging because it lets me know how much product i have left in the bottle, which is always important. The spray is easy to use.
Now the smell....i love it, it smells like the infusium 23 products, i dont know if you ever smelled those but that the only way to explain it lol but no really its a good smell not like most hair products. It doesnt grease up your hair if you put too much which is always a plus for me, i dont know bout you gals...
So far after use, i have noticed that my fallout isnt as bad as it use to be which is a wonderful thing, meaning this product does work. It has also protected my hair from when i heat style it which is great. I am really happy with this product.

Summary:
  • cheap
  • easy to use
  • leave in conditioner, strentghner, and heat protectant.
  • can spray the whole bottle(dont recommend) and wont leave hair greasy
  • smells lovely
Basically i recommend it for you gals and boys, i love it and will continue to purchase it. So have you tried it yet?? if so what do you think?

Garnier Fructis Flex and Hold Volumizing Spray

Hello Bellas,
I hope you guys have a good weekend. But before that, I wanted to do another review. And today I want to review the new Garnier Fructis Hold & Flex Volumizing Spray from their new FLEX&HOLD line.


This is what the website states:
Discover the 1st Garnier Fructis Style spray with bamboo extract and anti-humidity protection. It gives long-lasting hold and natural, healthy-looking movement, without stickiness or residue. This volumizing hairspray lifts from root to tip to boost flat, tired hair with body, fullness and an ultra strong hold - even with moisture in the air - all day, every day.

Sounds wonderful doesn’t it?

Let me start off by saying that volumized hair is in right now, flat limp hair is out!
So this spray I purchased from Walmart for $3 on sale of course because it is new. So I had to buy me a bottle to try it out. And let me just tell you I love love love it! Before I get to ahead of myself let me say that it of course is affordable and the packaging is pretty. The green they use is really bright and is not like the usual green they use on their other bottles. Ok I know im weird cuz im talking about the different shades of green they use lol. Okay well let makes this quick and easy, pretty much I sprayed my hair before I blew dryed it but I didn’t put to much just enough at the crown where I was going to need that volume. I used a large round brush and after it was dry I used jumbo rollers to set my hair. Then when I finished I pulled out the rollers and added more of this wonderful spray and I had HUGE hair lol. Lots of volume. You can always calm it down by brushing it. Anyways, im going off topic.

PROS:
* inexpensive
* easy to use
* does not make hair sticky or hard (don’t want the chola look)
* does what its suppose to do add flexible hold and volume to hair

CONS:
* I will have to say none

So to conclude, I have to say ladies that this products does what it says its going to do. It provides your hair with the flexibility and shine we all look for. And boy that volume is big! So I definitely recommend you ladies check it out.

Let me know what you guys think!

Xoxo

Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder

Hello again! I'm excited to be posting cuz i hardly get to do it now since work has picked up. So im gonna be reviewing the Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder. Ok so i have gone on many forums, checked out blogs and even asked hair stylist on what dry shampoo they like to use since it has become more popular now than before...you dirty girls lol jk

Well with all the research i have done i still wasnt coming up with anything! =/
Frustrated i tell you...people were talking about the pssssst dry shampoo as well as bastite(i hope im not mispelling it) and all i would hear is that yes it works, but it does leave a white residue. Now that sucks since i dont have white hair or blonde hair to pull it off. So to make this long story short when i went to my hair stylist and asked her what she uses, she told me about this wonderful line from Bumble & Bumble.

Now, B&B is expensive for my blood but i do own a few products. So when she told me about it i was super duper excited let me tell you why...

This is B&B's new hair powder line. They come in different shades to match your hair color, whoooo hooo! No white residue!!!! ok ok The hair powder is so that you can have a nice clean look without the hassle of washing your hair. It is suppose to give off a matte finish. Now to my review...

First,what i like about this product:
* The packaging, yea it comes inside another pointless tube, but hey what pricey product doesnt.
* Its a spray, so you dont have to worry about getting it all over the place liek your clothes.
* It comes in different shades not just white. I am soon to dye my hair black so i bought the black and still use it on the color i have now.
* It helps cover up those ugly roots lol
* It definitely cleans up the hair giving it that matte finish. It looks like i did wash my hair. **small package fits in ur purse, for travel***

Now, what i dont like:
* The price, they are $40 for a bottle but hey if it matches your hair it totally worth it.
* If you dont spray it right well in my case i had what looked like black paint on my fingers luckily i wiped it off right away and it came off.
* If you put too much of this stuff your gonna end up in the same spot with too much crap in your hair.

So...ladies i would definitely recommend it. i love it and will continue to but it. My hair stylist loves it too! it's worth the price

If you ladies have tried it or will let me know what you think

Dove Intense Damage Therapy System


Hello Lovelies,
I hope your weekend was great!
I have been going crazy about my hair fallout so i have been doing a lot to take care of this problem without having to go see a doctor. So when i hit up Walmart i was shopping around for a different shampoo and conditioner since what i was using was probably the culprit but im not really sure. I came across the Dove intense damage therapy shampoo and conditioner and decided to give it a go!
Let me start off by saying that this product claims that its suppose to help really damaged hair chemically and heat treated. "It penetrates the finest lines and breaks of every hair strand for intense hydration. It strnghtens hair and reduces breakage adn split ends, leaving hair healthy looking and strong from root to tip." - Dove website. This product was actually not that expensive since its new. I bought both products for about $10 and change. So i think thats pretty good since all hair products are starting to get a little pricey. So i have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and i have to say i love it. I have noticed that my hair is way way softer, full bodied, and is super hydrated without making it greasy. It smells lovely. Since my hair was falling out i did notice that using this shampoo and conditioner it has helped somewhat. My hair isnt falling out as bad as it use to. I can honestly say that i love the product and i definitely recommend it to anyone who has super dry hair or just wants super healthy hair. The product is very thick and lathers well. I just love it so i give this a 2 thumbs up!
PROS: inexpensive, smells good, lots for your buck!, does what its suppose to HYDRATE! and repair.
Cons: dont have none.

so ladies try it out and see what it does to your hair...
