John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Body Shampoo & Conditioner ~ #Review

I know fine hair can be a hassle.  I remember when my daughters had fine hair, it was hard to do anything with their hair.  It was hard to style it even if it was a simple braid.  My mom has fine hair and she alway loves my thick course hair.  Over the years, I have noticed my hair is getting finer and finer.  It is a big sign that I am getting old.  I got the chance to try John Frieda Full Body shampoo & conditioner from their Luxurious Volume collection for fine hair.

Revlon One Step Ionic Hair Dryer and Styler ~ #Review #Giveaway

During the summer my daughters and I like to air dry our hair but in the winter we use a hair dryer.  I hate wet hair when it is cold.  I think you could get easily sick with wet hair in the winter.  My daughters hate my hair drier.  They complain when I use it on them.  However, they like when I use Revlon One Step Ionic Hair Drier and Styler.

Opening of Studio Fontana at 400 Wellington Street West in Toronto ~ #PR

Lights!  Camera!  Hair and Makeup!  I had a lovely evening visiting Studio Fontana in Toronto that opened this month.  It is a great new space where hairstylist, makeup artist, photographers, and models could gather and create some magic.

It is a great space for people to get together to practice or create something that is wonderful and beautiful.  The studio is set up with all the salon equipment with perfect seating and washing stations.  The photo studio will be always set up ready to be used. I was also surprised to learn there is no fee to use the space.  It is a wonderful space and I could see so many uses for it like holding a small class to having a bridal party having their hair and makeup done all in one spot.

Live Clean Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo ~ #Review #Giveaway

Happy New Year!!  Bye, Bye to 2014 and hello to 2015 and fantastic hair.  I love to put on leave-in hair conditioner products in my hair every day but I occasionally put on anti frizz and mousse whenever I use the curling iron. Sometimes I even use hairspray and even heat protection to maintain my hair. If I am applying this every day, imagine the hair build up that my regular shampoo miss whenever I wash my hair. I use Live Clean Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo to bring back my hair natural condition.

Kiss InstaWave ~ #Review

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone and now it is time to get ready for New Years. I can't remember when the last time I have gotten ready going out for a New Years Eve party. I believe it is always the time to go all out and play up your looks. I have always loved to have wavy hair. I have Asian super flat, thick, heavy, straight long hair.

TRESemme Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo ~ #Review & #Giveaway

TRESemme Nourshing Rituals Liquid Gold Shine Therapy, Split Remedy, and Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray ~ #Review

I have noticed my hair has been dry over the past few years regardless of the season. It feels awful when I touch it and looks terrible so I know I am having a bad hair day. Dry hair also leads to split ends and no one wants to see them. To prevent those days I must protect my hair so I does not dry out. So after a shower when the hair is still damp, I always apply products to keep my hair healthy and shiny. Try TRESemme Nourshing Rituals Liquid Gold Shine Therapy and the TRESemme Split Remedy. For the days I want to curl my hair I apply TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray.

TRESemme: TRES TWO Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray ~ #Review

There are some days I really hate my hair. I have some very short fine hair near the face that never grows. It flies everywhere and always gets into my eyes and mouth. It is really annoying when I can’t see or get stuck to my lip stick/gloss. If I am not wearing any hair styling product to hold my hair, my hair goes everywhere anytime when the wind blows my way. I’m testing TRESemme: TRES TWO Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray to keep my fine small hair out of my face.

Live Clean Age Resist Collection ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Years ago, I never did take care of my hair like I do now. When I was younger I didn’t need hair conditioner. My hair was usually healthy and silky smooth. As I grow older I have noticed my hair has become drier so I started using conditioners then later leave-in conditioners. My hair has seen it all except having my head shaved. It has been blow dried, perm, coloured, curled, ironed, and air dried. Don’t forget I live in the city so add in pollution and UV rays when I am out in the sun. For years I always had my hair length around the shoulders and it only have been a few years I let it grow down to my waist. I have noticed my hair can’t survive without conditioner and leave-in hair conditioner after the shower. As the hair gets longer, the drier at the tip it becomes. To keep my hair soft, silky, smooth, and healthy, I used Live Clean Age Resist.

The Oils of Live Clean ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My hair gets dry very easily regardless of the season.  My hair needs conditioner and leave in treatment to get it silky, shiny, and healthy.  One will never think that summer can do damage to your hair but it really does.  The infamous UV rays or those humidity day that causes frizz.  If you are a swimmer, you will also know chlorine could really damage your hair.  I was very excited to try Live Clean hair oils because their products are eco-friendly and silicone free.

Live Clean’s hair oils can prevent and combat all summer hair problems and – at the same time – tackle the specific problems each was created for.

TRESemme Renewal Hair & Scalp System ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My hair is usually dry regardless of the season.  I guess it is because I wash it everyday, using my curling iron, colour my hair, and I had found that the longer my hair is, the drier it gets at the ends.  My hair needs alot of TLC and I found TRESemme Renewal Hair & Scalp System did help with my hair damage.
