April 2009 Archives

Lately, I have been having more bad hair days than good ones. (We beauty artists never pay attention to ourselves) So, out comes the hair elastic and off the face it goes. Well, I was doing a photo shoot with some uber salon hair specialists and there was one woman there named Ouidad who has a salon and product line that specializes in curly hair. So,since I had her captive in my makeup chair. I probed her for some of her expert product suggestions. She looked at my hair and said where's the shine?  So a few days later I come back from a photo shoot LA and there is a little box of curly hair artillery waiting for me. 

I used everything in the box and I have to say the results were extreme hair makeover.

I have been getting nonstop questions and comments asking me what I use to get me hair looking beautiful and shiny! Even in the last 2 days of NYC rain my hair is holding up.

Here is the product line up of my new  indispensable hair products in order of use.

Clear and Gentle Shampoo  a low PH cleanser. 

Balancing Rinse Conditioner Really lightweight and detangling

Climate Control This is a Lightweight frizz controlling gel that can also be used to straighten hair.I combed it through while my hair was lightly damp.

Shine Glaze Serum Just a teeny bit of this.

Finish Holding and Styling mist.

The next day I used Botanical Boost Spray-in conditioner which revived my hair for another rainy day.

Because I am a perfume maker as well, I appreciate that her products are low scent.

Yes, I'm totally hooked. Thanks, Ouidad! http://www.Ouidad.com
