Hair Care

Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray is a moisturizing hair care product with the busiest of busy people in mind.  This easy-to-use product can be applied to wet or dry hair, any time of day… even multiple times during the day! 

Spray a fine mist over your hair.  Especially ideal for chemically treated hair, Rapid Repair Spray is packed with vitamins to give a breath of life to dull, dry hair.  Its anti-aging cocktail of Caviar extract, Cytokines and Vitamin C undo environmental damage.  Essential oils of Mandarin, Bergamot, Cypress and Sandalwood will make your hair smell downright divine!

Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray retails for $28 at Beauty.com.  For more information, check out Alterna’s website.

I love the idea of a deep conditioning hair treatment once a week, but in practice my schedule simply does not allow it. 

Luckily, anyone with time to sleep has time to use Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx PM Repair Strengthener.  Simply apply this product to dry hair at night and shampoo it out in the morning.  Specifically formulated for hair damaged by coloring, chemical treatments and heat styling– its protein-rich formula repairs damage to existing hair and helps new hair to grow in stronger than ever.

Since my experience with Benzaclin… I was concerned about resting my head on my pillow with this product in my hair.  I am happy to report that this product did NOT stain my linens (yay!) and also smells divine.

This product retails for $65 at Beauty.com, and other fine beauty retailers.

As an Indian-American, Celebrity Makeup Artist Shalini Vadhera knows the secrets behind long, shiny hair.  Her desire to share the beauty potions of her ancestors launched the Global Goddess brand.

Global Goddess Coconut Amla Revitalizing Hair Treatment is one of her many efforts to introduce Eastern beauty secrets to the West.  According to the Global Goddess website, Indian women give themselves a "weekly coconut oil scalp massage to promote growth and wash away tress stress."  Shalini’s hair miracle in a bottle contains Coconut, Amla (Indian Gooseberry), Grape Seed and Neem oils to deliver this weekly Indian treat right to your scalp.

My hair has a tendency to look dull.  One afternoon I set aside some "me" time to follow the instructions for an intensive treatment.  I applied the product to damp, clean hair, and waited for 30 minutes.  Then I shampooed and conditioned as I normally would.  This product gave my hair instant shine! For those of you with less time to dedicate, a 5-10 minute treatment performed more frequently can also give results.

As a bonus, this product has an off-label use mentioned by its creator.  Rub leftover oil from your hair into your body for softer skin and a healthy glow!

Glorious sunny days have their side-effects. After spending many a warm afternoon outside playing with my son, my highlighted and flat-ironed hair was starting to feel like straw.  Had I finally damaged my hair permanently?  Only one use of Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx Shampoo and Conditioner restored my hair to its normal silky feeling.  Don’t you love instant gratification in a beauty product?

This product is fortified with soy and milk proteins to strengthen the hair shaft.  Over time, it will prevent damage before it happens!
