I was looking for something that will soften my hair texture that isn’t a glossing polish or leave-in treatment that I already have used. After some search at my local beauty shop, I had some experience with ION products before and wanted to try one of the products, ION Antifrizz Lusterizing Cream. After shampooing, I used this product in adjunct to my faithful leave-in treatment, Nature’s Therapy Moisturizing Creme, which I only put on the ends. With ION Lusterizing Cream, I just used it all over my hair with hopes that my hair will feel noticeably softer. After my hair has dried completely, I was brushing my fingers through it and to my amazement my hair felt much softer than normal and didn’t feel really frizzy. Then I added a bit of glossing polish for a shine. Is this a good purchase? I would say so and I’ve been using it ever since.

When you’re in water, there’s not much to be worried about styling your hair because it’ll be wet and slicked back. While you’re out of water, it’s possible to achieve sexy hair like the surfer girls. Is it difficult to achieve whether your hair is long or short, not a surfer or just want to try something new with your hair? No, not at all! Read on.

There are several ways getting beachy hair that’s tousled and wavy even if your hair is naturally stick straight. While there are many hair products on market that achieve beachy hair, let’s stick to two products that are highly recommended. After your shampoo and condition your hair, towel dry your hair so it’s damp. Use the Aquage Sea Salt Spray liberally all over your hair. Then either twist your hair so there are ropes or braid your hair as your hair dries. Or you could go ahead and use a hair dryer to speed up the dryness. Then spray some of spray gel when your hair’s all twisted or braided up so the waves would be locked in as much as possible. After your hair’s mostly dry, release your hair and then you should be having beachy matte wavy hair as a result. Then use a spray gel or scrunch spray to fluff out your waves and to lock in the style.

There is another way of achieving beachy hair without the sea salt spray. There’s a product called Fructis Style Surf Hair texture paste by Garnier. Follow similar process above except instead of using a spray use the Surf Hair wax and rub it between your fingers. Use a small amount and run it through your damp hair. Then either twist or braid your hair to lock in the style. After it’s mostly dry, loosen your hair and then use Surf Hair wax to style your individual hair strands for further texture or waves around your face. Voila! You have achieved a sexy surfer girl hair! You can buy this product at Amazon: Fructis Style Surf Hair Texture Paste.

When I went to the salon recently for touching up my roots, my stylist recommended this product to me and tried it on me. It’s called Halo High Gloss Rinse. It was a new line designed for damaged hair by infusing new life into hair, producing unbelievable luminosity, shine and smoothness. What’s unique about this product, you have two options to choose from. First option is that after you shampoo your hair, towel dry your hair, you use small drops of this product and massage it all over your hair. Proceed to dry and style your hair as usual. The second option is that you leave it in for 5 minutes and then rinse out your hair after you use the product in your hair. It’s highly recommended to undergo heated dryer to seal in the shine and color vibrancy. My stylist went with the second option on me and as a result my hair looked incredibly vibrant, shiny and smooth with no frizz. I was super thrilled with the results and highly recommend this product, Halo High Gloss Rinse. It’s recommended to use this product as a weekly intensive treatment to keep your hair in good shape and maintain the translucent color, high gloss and luminosity.

If you are going to style your hair using hair blower dryer and hot curling rod, then using this product beforehead is a must! For example, this model in the edition of Ranzuki, her hair was styled with high gloss so her waves look good and shiny regardless of the damage as a result from hair coloring, heated styling appliances and other factors. Her hair was styled with hot curling rod so by using this product it will maintain the high gloss afterward. You wouldn’t believe the result after one use of this product. Even I was impressed by the texture and the feel of my hair afterward.

As mentioned in previous posts, it’s extremely important to keep your hair in good sparkling shape regardless how damaged your hair as a result of coloring, straightening, blow drying and/or hot styling aids. There are many products that do the job and achieve a wonderful end result. If you’re on a budget, then it’s worth to check out Ion Leave-in Conditioner in brand new packaging design. With this product, it has lightweight moisture that detangles even most frizzy or super dry hair. The tip to use this product is after you shampoo and moisturize your hair in the shower, make sure you towel dry your hair first prior to spraying liberally on the ends and underneath your hair completely. You can use this in conjunction with other treatments like leave-in moisture, spray gel, glossing polish or heat protection spray. I have been using this product to achieve less frizzy and brittle look that dyed and highlighted hair brings. It makes my hair look “healthier” because it looks less like straw hair that most people get from bleaching or lightening process. No one wants straw looking hair, do we? Give this product a try. Ion is one of respected hair brands especially for those who are on a budget who can’t afford high end salon products.
