Hairy Wednesday w/ Alterna

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Bamboo Smooth On-The-Go Travel Set ($38 Value)
Alterna is a new line available at Sephora and I purchase Bamboo Smooth On-The-Go Travel Set 
 to give it a try. Now, as you all know I have very curly coil like hair and it can get a bit frizzy depending on the weather. It's getting warm outside and I was looking for something that would help my wash and wear hair.

I chose this line since it's parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMOs, and triclosan. They do carry 6 different types of products for different needs Bamboo, Cavier, Hemp, Life, Style Life, and TEN. Bamboo was perfect for my needs. The bamboo has kendi oil and you're like WTH is kendi oil. Well, it's a oil that contains fatty acids for your hair like Omegas 3, 6 & 9 that help repair and fight free radicals. And of course it contains bamboo that known to strengthen your hair and helps make it healthier.


After using these beautiful products for 1 week, what a difference on texture and look of my hair. The frizz completely under control with no weigh down, super soft, nice shine, and smelling delicious. I haven't had a hair cut since November since I get them done back home by my aunt (Chicago) and even my ends look better. I was really surprised with the result and look forward to trying the Shine line. A++  

This set includes:
- 1.35 oz Anti-Frizz Shampoo
- 1.35 oz Anti-Frizz Conditioner
- 0.85 oz Kendi Pure Treatment Oil
- 1.5 oz Anti-Humidity Hair Spray 

$25






Mani Tuesday w/ Zoya Nail Polish Exchange

Tuesday, April 26, 2011






Glammies it's time to get rid of that old nail polish and in with the new. Zoya has this great deal once a year and yes, I caught it a bit late but you still have time to take advantage of it. All you pay is $4 for shipping and processing per bottle. And over 300 bottles of colors to chose from. So let's help the earth and help those toes and nail look cute for the summer with some fresh colors. 


Here’s all you need to do! 

1.    Go to Zoya.com and pick out the polishes you would like and add them to your cart. You must select at least 6 bottles and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salons accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles.)
2.    Apply the code. EARTHZOYA

Once you get your order (Here is where the exchanging* happens)…

Top Coat
Sexy Hair Reinvent Color Care Top Coat

I found this a few weeks ago when I was in between hair color and my hair was looking a bit dull. This is a glossier to help your dull hair have shine and a healthy look to it again. Very easy to apply, after conditioner apply a generous amount of top coat all over hair and leave on for 3-5 minutes. I left mine on for 10 minutes since I was in the office working.

After my hair had more shine and looked a lot healthier. No dull looking hair and you can use this every week. $11.99-14.79 available on Amazon SleekHair
