Novex Recovering Mix
I love deep conditioning and I am always on the hunt for the best and I think I have found it in the Novex line of hair care products. When I tried the Recovering Mix from this line I was pretty much blown away! The conditioner comes in a pretty purple and silver tub. The back of the conditioner has tones of information about the products ingredients and how does the Novex brand of deep conditioners compare to others. If you looks closely the main differences between then is the high density, high concentration, vitamin rich and consistent formulas...
What is a brazillian keratin treatment?
Many people today have heard of the ever popular Brazilian Blowout or more generally called Brazilian keratin treatment. These systems use heat to create polymers that coat the hair and change its shape temporarily. the end result is a high gloss bone straight look and when washed the curls are shinier, looser and more behaved than before. The process: Hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo several times to strip the hair and open the cuticles. this is done to allow the best penetration of the keratin treatment. After hair has been washed it is then dried and then...
My new ultrasonic infrared iron!
A few weeks ago I received my infrared ultrasonic iron in the mail. I ordered directly from the manufacturer and because of this I was able to buy one at a fraction of the regular price. Since it was a sample order (the manufacturer usually ships in bulk) it is plain and has the generic “ultra and infra” on the LCD screen. Otherwise, it still has all of the functions that the brand name ones do plus it has adjustable settings! If you don’t know about this iron, check out my previous post about Ultrasonic Infrared Irons. So far...
Embelleze Novex 12 Activos Em 1
You may or may not be familiar with this product line. The Embelleze company’s Novex line has been a staple in Brazil. A few years ago they decided to bring their brand to the United States. Back then I was interested in their formaldehyde free Chocolate Brazilian keratin treatment. I never got around to trying it but I still wanted to try their deep conditioners. I thought they were a bit too expensive at about $20 dollars a pop. I didn’t know how well they would perform and there was no reviews on them anywhere. Recently i see that...
Joico Kpak Line
Joico, Joico, Joico. It was all I could read on the hair boards once upon a time. This was supposed to be one of the best lines you could buy for your hair. The K-pak line however ruled supreme for quite a few years. I found it very hard to find a bad review for these products and I really tried searching! After I relaxed my hair Fall of 2011, I decided to research these products to make sure that my even more fragile hair stays on my head. I had myself convinced that this was the line for...
Ultrasonic Infrared irons….ingenious or gimmick?
While doing some research I came across this new hair care technology. Manufacturers have combined the power of ultrasonic frequencies with infrared light. This creates a new product that is heatless yet deeply conditions the hair better than anything before. The ultrasonic vibrations coupled with the infrared light causes water molecules to speed up and vaporize. This allows whatever is in a conditioning or keratin treatment to effectively get into the hair shaft. Here is a list of qualities these irons seem to have in common: Do not straighten Repair hair for shinier, smoother, and thicker results Helps the...
