Shine Boosting Hair Serums Outfitted in Red

BellaSugar — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 13:37:06 -0800

Have we mentioned it's red week enough times yet? Here are some of my favorite anti-frizz formulated serums that are packaged in...red! To apply: after washing and conditioning your hair, while it's still wet apply a few drops of serum starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. After you blow dry, if you need to control any fly-a-ways, dab just a little bit into the palm of your hand and then use your finger tips to smooth out your already set hair. Keep in mind that too much product will make your hair limp and greasy looking, so use sparingly.

Glare Smoothing Serum, $15.95, is so shine enhancing everyone will be asking what you've done to your hair! Really, it's addictive. This serum is heat activated so apply when hair is wet and blow dry away.

Wella Color Preserve Seal & Shine, $12.31, smells great and believe it or not, this little bottle will last you a better part of next year! It helps to not only fight frizz but it shields colored hair from oxidization while adding shine.

Tattletales Rat Nest Head Smoothing Hair Serum, $15, helps to smooth the hair cuticle as well as reduce frizz and calm curls. It will leave you with a magnificent high shine finish!

Rub Your Way to Shiny Smooth Strands

One of the keys to successful hair serum results is to use a very small amount – it goes a long way! However, I picked up another tip from my stylist that I thought might help you.

Instead of putting a little drop on your fingers to spread on your hair, apply it to the palm of one hand then rub your hands together vigorously. This emulsifies and breaks down the ingredients as well as adding heat to the product. So, not only will you help the active ingredients work better, you'll spread it out for even distribution easy as one, two, three.

Tame Your Frizz With Tips From John Frieda

BellaSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:00:30 -0800

Lack of body or too much frizz: "Most people fall into one [category] or the other," explains hair guru John Frieda. The solution? "A product and a technique," he says. In the 1970s and 1980s, when Frieda first started out, the majority of the products available were just for body and volume. If you had any issues with frizziness, as 60 percent of women do, you couldn't turn to your favorite anti-frizz serum or cream to quell the problem, as those types of products just didn't exist quite the way they do today. At least there was disco, right? Frieda, along with stylist Harry Josh, recently spoke on the stubborn issue of frizz. To find out how to prevent your hair from looking as if it's been hit by a Van de Graaff generator, keep reading.

Say Goodnight to Damaged Hair

Ted Gibson Goodnight Replenish Hair Repair Serum is an intense nighttime hair repair treatment that conditions and tends to malnourished tresses. It also helps rectify unbalanced scalps using a concentration of wheat proteins, extracts, and vitamins.

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Ted Gibson himself, the celebrity stylist who created the serum. This is what he had to say about his new product.

"Goodnight Hair Replenish Serum is essentially conditioning on-the-go. What I've found is that people are busy, and they don't have the time to shampoo and condition all of the time, so I created something unique that can help repair and replenish while you are sleeping. The nice thing about it is that it won't leave the heaviness in your hair like a leave-in conditioner would. Balancing is key. If your scalp isn't in good condition, then your hair won't be in good condition either."

To use, simply apply a full dropper's worth of the wonderfully scented product (made from sheer orchid) to your dry hair before bed. Begin at the roots and brush it into your scalp, working it all the way to the ends of your hair. Add more if necessary for longer or thicker hair. It will instantly be absorbed, so it won't get onto your bedding. Best of all, it's not oily, so it won't be transferred to clog your precious facial pores. Buy it here for $200.
