In Which Bella Sizzles Her Hair
We all make mistakes, right? That's what I keep telling myself. Unfortunately, I have unruly strands of hair around my hairline and ears that sometimes require a little flat ironing to settle them down.
Reader Review of the Day: Redken Extreme Antisnap Leave-In Treatment
The season is just under way, but your locks don't have to look abused by heat, chlorine, and/or windy days. Reader Jjasinsk gave Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Leave-In Treatment ($18) a whirl after experiencing some damage to her hair, and here's what she thought:
I've never had much faith in products that claim to repair damaged hair, but this product has really performed. After compulsively using Sun-In on my hair for a year, the front sections were broken, matted, and elastic.
Get Out of the Shower With Deep Conditioner On
If you go to the salon for special conditioning treatments, chances are it will include some time under the dryer. I know it's easy to do this when you're already being pampered, but this is actually a step you can take at home.
Why do it?
BellaSugar's Top Five Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment Picks
I use a blow-dryer every time I wash my hair, and unfortunately that sets me on the fast track to Split Ends city. So I try to apply a hot oil treatment, a mask or a deep conditioner on my hair at least once a week to help restore moisture and shine.
My absolute favorite hair mask is a light product from Kerastase called Masquintense ($49.99).
Coming Soon: Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Masque
The last launch from Bumble and Bumble was the malleable Spray de Mode Hairspray, and now they're getting ready to release a deep-conditioning treatment called Creme de Coco Masque. The mask was created as an extension to the popular Creme de Coco shampoo and conditioner, which is designed for dull, dry and color-treated hair. It's extremely thick and rich with a powerful coconut scent.
Definition: Bull Sperm
Believe it or not, bull sperm (yes, bull semen) is becoming a cult hair treatment at a swank UK salon. The solution combines Angus bull semen and a plant root called katera. Both ingredients are protein packed and help penetrate and condition the hair shaft.
Product Review: Philip Kingsley Elasticizer
My hair is pretty thin, slightly dry, and definitely looking lackluster lately, so I've taken up to reading reviews on different strengthening and reparative deep conditioners. My best friend is a bleach blonde, and she's been raving about the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer for a few months now, so I borrowed hers so that we could compare notes.
There are a few things that make this conditioner different from others.
Beauty Product Junkies Picks: Very Deep Conditioners
In addition to my weekly Beauty Mark It challenges — including this week's about SPF lip gloss — the Beauty Product Junkies group on TeamSugar hosts its own weekly Beauty Marking challenges.
Most recently, the Junkies went hunting for something I've been coveting: a good deep conditioners. For the first time since high school, I'm wearing my hair long and slowly remembering all of the special needs that long locks require.
Heavenly Soft Hair
If you want to attain heavenly hair that is flowy and soft, for him to run his fingers through, then the PHYTOJOBA Intense Hydrating Mask, $36, is what you are looking for. It is designed to gently and instantly restore elasticity, shine and thickness to dry, damaged or normal hair.
The jojoba plant was selected because the oil that this plant produces is characteristic of the natural oils in your own hair.
Dynamite Deep Conditioners
Just as our skin feels the effects of our harsh environment, our hair does too. Not only does it face similar issues of dryness, dehydration and lifelessness, but because we tend to use heated tools for styling, our hair risks severe and irreparable damage from over-processing.
Once in a while, it's nice to give your hair a healthy glass of water to recharge and revitalize limp locks.
