90 Days of Nioxin

90 Days of Nioxin

Have you heard of Nioxin? It’s a full range of hair and scalp treatments that optimize the health of your scalp to give you great looking hair. Nioxin is a professional haircare system (sold only in salons) that does more than just clean your hair. It helps to remove all the gunk that clogs your hair follicle. This buildup, caused in part by day-to-day hair products, prevents your hair from getting the nourishment it needs to look shiny and beautifully healthy. With Nioxin, scalp care is at the forefront of their product development, and they believe that a healthy scalp requires the same attention and care as the skin on your face! A healthy scalp also helps to create healthy hair that shines, with a thicker, denser appearance. Recently we were spoiled by Nioxin and got to try out their 3-part-Systems for three different hair concerns; fine hair, thinning hair and weak hair. So we put these products to the test. Louise (left) and I (right) used Nioxin’s Starter Kit System 3 for fine, treated, normal to thin looking hair. “V” (middle) used Nioxin System 2 for noticeable thinning. All three of us, used only Nioxin on our hair for…

May the FORCE be with you – Thicker hair in just 30 days!

May the FORCE be with you – Thicker hair in just 30 days!

REDKEN launches a new range of hair care products, targeted specifically to thickening your hair and leaving you with fuller locks! YES PLEASE! Say hello the new Intra Force system… The range consists of three products, including a Shampoo, Toner and Scalp Treatment and comes in two variations; one for coloured hair, and one for naturally thinning hair. The Detoxifying Shampoo gently cleanses hair, helping to reduce excess sebum and DHT to promote hair density and an overall healthy scalp environment. The Lightweight Toner helps to de-tangle, moisturize and strengthen the hair while replenishing the hair and scalp and preventing breakage. The Scalp Treatment, designed for daily use, is a fast absorbing treatment with a unique liquid-to-foam formula that energizes the scalp and promotes hair density. All in all, I love the idea of this range and it seems more and more hair ranges are focusing on scalp health, because at the end of the day, beautiful hair cannot grow in a messy foundation. I’ve just started with this range and so far, I like it. I haven’t been on it for 30 days, (as recommended), so cannot report on the effectiveness, but after five days of usage my hair…

Product Review – Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger

Product Review – Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger

I’m loving this new range of haircare products by well known brand Paul Mitchell. It’s called awapuhi Wild Ginger and it’s the hair care range for modern women! Eight beautifully packaged, sleek products all of which feature a natural extract called “Awapuhi”, as well as a KeraTriplex™ complex that helps to strengthen and protect your hair leaving you with lovely, silky smooth locks. Hawaiian natives have used the fragrant juice of the Awapuhi Ginger plant to moisturize skin and hair. As I’m sure you’ve heard Keratin is all the rage – think Brazilian Keratin treatments. Well ladies, this range is perfect, not only because it injects keratin into your hair, but the shampoo in this range is safe to use if you’ve had a Brazilian straightening treatment as it is sulfate-free. I got to try out three products from this range, including; awapuhi Moisturizing Lather Shampoo, awapuhi Keratin Cream Rinse and awapuhi Keratin Intensive Treatment. Take a look… The awapuhi Moisturizing Lather Shampoo is lovely and smells gorgeous, fresh and fabulous! A small amount really goes a long way. Unlike traditional gel-texture shampoos, this one is more like a foam and feels creamy without weighing down the hair. It leaves…
