Sometimes things happen for a reason. Or at least happen serendipitously! Not long ago, I used up the root touch-up powder that I apply to my part between hair colorings. I had been using that brand for quite a few years, and I was satisfied with it. But the following day, I was asked if …
Lately, I have been trying haircare products from IGK. Today, I thought I would tell you about one of them, Good Behavior Smoothing Spray. I needed to buy an affordable product in order to qualify for free shipping at Ulta. So what else is new, you’re thinking! That’s often how I discover new products. IGK …
In the summer, I received a care package from Conscious Beauty Collective to announce their holiday 2022 shop in Natick MA. Conscious Beauty Collective is a group of clean beauty brands that have teamed up to promote their products. Over the past several months, I have been making my way through the box. I wish …
After I burned my hair a few years ago using an ancient flat iron, I became a haircare loyalist. Pretty much. Olaplex No. 4 Moisturizing Shampoo and JOICO K-PAK Hair Treatment are the shampoo and conditioner that I use almost all the time. PR Samples, Affiliate Links, Informational Link As a result, I mostly turn …
This August the weather was so consistently humid that nothing, and I repeat, nothing kept my hair frizz free for more than a day or sometimes only for a few hours. Plus I was jogging in the heat and humidity as well as swimming whenever the water was warm enough. As much as I love …

When I purchased from Ulta online during their 21 Days of Beauty, they sent along a few samples. Among them was a Hask shampoo and conditioner duo, packets with just enough for one use. Hask has a broad product range: the ones I received were the Kalahari Melon Oil Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner with Color Shield …
About a year or so ago, I was introduced to Darshana Natural Indian Oil (reviewed here). It is an amazing oil that you apply before shampooing. It always makes my hair so soft and smooth. But sometimes, I don’t have a chance to put on Darshana Natural Indian Oil prior to washing my hair. I …
It’s a gorgeous spring day today and I’m heading out to jog to take advantage of it before it’s cold and rainy tomorrow. But I think we’re going to the Museum of Fine Arts tomorrow so that should be a fun way to spend the day. What are you up to this weekend?? If you …
Brandbacker, a blogger association, recently introduced me to Pura D’Or, a wonderful brand of organic haircare and skincare products, and I’m so glad they did. Pura D’Or Hair Loss Prevention Organic Shampoo & Conditioner I have lots of thick, coarse hair, but that doesn’t seem to stop me from noticing a lot of it …
Somehow I managed to see an alert at the very end of November for the new TargetStyle Beauty Box. This month, the women’s box was $10 instead of the $5 I paid last time. And they also had a men’s box for $5 that I should have picked up for my family’s Yankee Swap that …
I don’t know why but the ends of my hair have been dry and “crispy” since the end of the summer. I’ve had two hair cuts since then, and it makes a difference initially but the dryness returns. I try to wash my hair only every 4 days, but I guess blow drying it and …
I recently received two very contemporary looking hair products to try out for review. They were from Unwash whose tagline is “The New Clean”. I don’t believe that I received any explanatory materials along with them. I looked at the bottles, and I determined that the Anti-Residue Rinse is a clarifying product. I love clarifying haircare products. …
February didn’t have a ton of products that I emptied, but enough to report on them. This month was a mix of old favorites and new products. Let’s see what’s worth repurchasing. Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Gel Sensation I got this full size can of shower foam in …
I’m officially proclaiming 2016 the Year of Haircare Products! I have been discovering so many new and fabulous hair products this year, I’m blown away. The products that have been impressing me most are leave-in serums, the kind of product I never would have even considered a couple of years ago. I always thought that …
