What's all of the craze with BKT (known as Brazilian Keratin Treatments)? Well I HAD to try it for myself and I was really impressed with the results! Brazilian Keratin Treatments are products that use a form of protein called keratin to repair the cuticle. Formalin is used to help bind the keratin to the cuticle. It works to smooth the cuticles of curly, frizzy hair and is temporary, usual...

I've done a lot of hair coloring in my lifetime!  I work in a beauty salon, so you'd think this would be an easy place to get your hair done!  In reality, it's hard to find a co-worker to fit me into their schedule.  After all, why should they forgo a paying customer for a freebie?Sally Beauty Supply isn't where I normally buy my hair color.  For&nb...

Here I am again doing another Aveeno review! This time I am reviewing the new shampoo and conditioner just out in stores this month of May 2009. When I first saw the ad for Aveeno Shampoo/Conditioner, I was really surprised and wanted to try it right away. I use Aveeno Baby Wash for my children. So Yes, I really want to try the adult shampoo/conditioner. I wanted to try the Aveeno Replenish for...

I tried the L'Oreal Perfect 10 hair color system a few months ago.  I liked the fact that you could simply 'comb' it on or apply it the conventional way, which is to squeeze it on through a small pointed application cap.I had hoped that L'Oreal would fall away from those squeeze tubes however.  In order to put the color into the activator lotion, you have to open the s...

My husband was noticing a few more grey hairs than he wanted to see around his sideburns and the front of his hair.  So we set out to find a solution at the store to restore his youthful color.  I had heard of this product via commercials on television.  It looked simple to use and by the commercial it covered all the greys.  So we purchased the product and came home to...

This review is about my favorite hair color, Couleur Experte by Loreal Paris. I have been coloring my hair for over 20 years now and in that time I have tried most of the leading brands of hair color. I first tried this one about 3 years ago and since I have to color my hair often (thanks MOM)  I have used it several times and still tried a few other brands in between, of them all thi...

A man can't color his hair without coloring his beard and mustache. It just wouldn't go together. I purchased the mustache & beard along with the haircolor. The mustache/beard color gel is just as easy to apply as the haircolor. There are two tubes: one color base and one developer. You just squeeze out a long strip of each in the applicator tray. Mix the two together with the end o...

We couldn't stop laughing! My husband has brown hair with gray patches. I always wanted him to try Just for Men. He was curious too. So I bought a box and colored his hair. It was a pretty simple application. You just take the small color base bottle and mix it with the developer, then apply. You only have to wait for five minutes and then rinse it out and shampoo. Wooh! It was da...

I've seen this product on store shelves for a few months now and had even picked up the boxes to look at them but was skeptical that a hair colorant could take darker hair and turn it blonde toned without a lot of smell, time and dry ends being the final outcome.  How wrong I was!This particular product is by far one of the nicest, put together, all encompassing hair colorant products ...

I have been highlighting my hair at home for several years now.  Ever since high school a couple friends and I would get together, pop in a good chick flick, and do each other's hair.  It was great fun to be together, it cost about 1/3 of salon prices, and I would have to say, we all looked pretty cute by the end of the day.  :) Over the years I've tried a number of diffe...

Ok I admit it I have gray hair and I don't like it! I have been coloring my hair for sometime now. It started out just because I liked to change the color of my hair, darker in the winter, lighter in the summer. As I have gotten older I have noticed more and more gray, now I color to make sure known of it shows.I started out by going to the hairdressers and trust me that didn't last lon...

I'm an old punk rocker and I still love to look a little 'weird'.  One of the ways I express myself is with my hair and was very excited to find Raw Color Demi Permanent Hair Color in a variety of fun colors such as pink, blue, purple, and green.  I purchased the Candy Pink, which is a lovely shade of hot magenta pink to use on my bangs and the underside of my hair, but wa...

          Renpure Organics. The bottles are red with an odd shape quite similar to another brand I tried without luck. The only difference is that the top of the bottle is off center. And another difference is...I actually like it even though I've had trouble with organic hair products in the past.         ...

I have short, flat, lifeless hair that sees a curling iron every morning or I don't leave the house.I need something to protect my hair from the heat of the curling iron yet give me a nice curl that will hold all day.  If I don't use some type of thermal setting product my hair does nothing and if I don't feel like my hair looks good then nothing else does either!I found this p...

I've been trying make a lot of changes lately to be more Earth friendly but when I was cleaning my bathroom the other day, I looked around and this is what I found: 2 bottles of shampoo, 2 bottles of conditioner, 1 bottle of body wash, 2 bottles of baby lotion, 1 bottle of baby oil, 3 bottles of my lotion, and a few tubes of Mary Kay products. All of these are not recyclable and will end up...

Like everything, the scents that surround me have to be incredible!  I've stayed away from products that I am not familiar with simply because I don't like how they smell.  A few weeks ago, while on our regular shopping excursion to Costco to stock up on family needs, my oldest daughter asked me why I didn't purchase the huge bottles of hair shampoos and conditioners by Ki...

I have dark brown hair, so when the gray hairs started showing up a few years ago, it wasn't hard to notice them against the dark background of the rest of my hair. I didn't want to use permanent color, because I have always thought it was too harsh and would damage my hair.  When I started checking out what was available as an alternative, I found Clairol's Natural Instincts a...

Like so many women out there, I have grey hair. It doesn't bother me like some people but I do like to cover it up once in a while. My natural color is brown however I love to go red or burgundy because it changes things. First, it brings out my eyes (which are brown as well), makes my skin color a little darker (I am white and I mean white!), and it makes my face look skinnier.When I final...

I have used hot oil treatments in the past but it has been a while. I bought these at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market because they were the only brand I could find. The first thing I noticed was that I could not find the brand I used to use- Tresemme. Secondly, WOW the price has gone up and you only get 2 tubes instead of 3 like you used to. I am not a hair styling expert but my thoughts are (and ...

Have I mentioned that I get bored easily?  My hair is usually the first indicator that let's others know I'm in that frame of mind and my husband has gotten to the point where unless he sees me actually doing something to my hair, he can't keep up with me and doesn't try any longer.  For the New Year I decided that I wanted to return to blonde highlights again - even t...
