Happy February everyone!! <3 I really don't like February, nothing too exciting going on, but it does bring us a few weeks closer to spring =) I can't wait for warm weather and pretty flowers blooming everywhere. I live in NJ and the weather has been crazy crazy! We still have a chance of more snow this week and next weekend..well either snow or flooding rain depending upon which weather man you watch.
To kick of this brand new month (and the Superbowl - go Seahawks!) I thought I'd do a post on my favorite every day hair treatments. Along with the new month and weather changes, comes hair issues..for me, anyway. First a little bit about my hair so you can compare if you have the same type. I have long dark brown hair that is thick but my strands are fine (if that makes sense). It used to be naturally super curly but now it is its own type of wavy. For some reason as I got older my hair flattened out on top and since it decided to be a jerk to me I discovered a flat iron. I've been straightening my hair for a few years now so I'm sure that contributes to its non-curly state today. At times its dry and super frizzy and other times (like when I try to go without washing for two days) it turns into a gross oily mop on my head - okay I'm exaggerating a little but close enough.
This is how I typically wear my hair, curled/waved with the curling iron. I feel it's most flattering and easy to do on my hair.
The following two are my holy grail products for giving me a soft, shiny and healthy hair. I swear by them both.
Uniq One is an all in one treatment with 10 different effects (kind of like It's a 10 product). I bought this from my hair salon for $18. Well worth it! It promises the following:
1 Repair dry, damaged hair
2 Shine and frizz control
3 Heat protection
4 Silkiness and Smoothness
5 Hair color protection
6 Easier brushing and ironing
7 Detangler
8 Long lasting hairstyle
9 Split end prevention
10 Adds Body
It does all of that! I swear! I put it in my hair after I get out of the shower. First I slightly towel dry my hair just to rid it of excess water then spray this all over concentrating on my ends. Then I comb through my hair. It makes it ridiculously tangle free. After I just decide how I'm wearing my hair that day and go from there! I heard there is a new one out with coconut and I'm just dying to get my hands on it but it seems to only be in other countries not the US =( BOO!
CHI Silk Infusion is an oil that creates awesome shine, softness and a heat protectant. A little bit goes a long way with this bad boy. Apply a small amount at a time. My hair, since my strands are fine, can get greasy/oily very quickly so I can't handle a lot of this product. I use this after I blow dry or style my hair. It's a great finisher. This is a little pricey. It's about $25 for a bottle of this size. I actually got an awesome deal on this at target and it was 2 bottles for the price of one. I definitely had to splurge and get it. (I typically do not spend money on higher end hair products)
When I run out of these products, I will be buying both again for sure! I can't wait to find the Uniq One in coconut I can only imagine how wonderful it is! I recommend giving these both a try! If you do, of if you use these now, let me know what you think =)
Thanks for reading

I used to use the Chi Silk Infusion on my hair when I would blow dry it straight and flat press. It gave a great shine without being heavy on my hair.

That's exactly how I feel about it. I don't like putting it in my hair when it's wet so I wait until after I blowdry and flat iron or curl my hair. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment =)
ReplyDeleteI have been ineterested in buying the CHI, but everyone I know who has it has very coarse hair. They love it, but like you, I have fine strands of hair. I'll have to check it out! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks for reading and commenting! your welcome! If you're still skeptical they sell smaller bottles, i think like 6oz, so you can try it that way. Thanks for following too!
