Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Deeply Hydrating and Nourishing on Scalp & Hair #Review




Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Deeply Hydrating and Nourishing on Scalp & Hair



Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin and Hair Function.



Leaves Hair Looking Hydrated, Healthy and Silky.





Helps to Reduce the appearance of Dandruff and Dry, Flaky Scalp.



Aloe Vera Deeply Nourishes the Scalp and Hair - Hydrating it from Within.



Dead Sea Salt contains more than 21 skin and hair rebuilding minerals
such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and
potassium.







My Review:

The first time I used this conditioner I wasn't sure I would like it.  While using it my scalp was tingling so I know something was happening.  It felt different from my usual conditioner on my wet hair and I was leary of how well it would rinse out.  Later, after my hair was dry, I began styling my hair and it felt so soft and clean.  I loved how soft and silky my hair felt.  It was the conditioner working.

After several uses I still love how soft and silky my hair is after it is dry.  I do not use this conditioner every day but once a week and love the results.  Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner from Andovia receives a huge recommendation from this blogger!

Review:

When I first tried this product, I was not convinced that it was better than my salon conditioner that I normally use.  It seemed to take everything out of my hair but did not detangle it very well. Since my hair is somewhat thin and tangles easily, I really need a detangling conditioner.



But, after my hair had a chance to dry, I realized how soft and silky it felt.  I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror and found my hair shinier than usual.  I love the feel of my hair even after using product and curling and straightening irons in it.  It looked healthy, clean and felt nice.



I am not going to replace my usual conditioner, but I do plan to continue using this organic Moroccan Argan oil restorative hair treatment at least weekly to keep my hair healthy, shiny and silky smooth!  I only left it in for about 5 minutes, but it recommends 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing.  I will try it for a longer period of time next use to see if it detangles better than the first time.



A definite improvement when added to my usual salon products!



Can be purchased through Amazon

Need Curly Hair Help ~ Check out my Review of RevUp for Curly Hair

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.








http://www.frizzoff.com/



Curly Hair Solutions for daily bounce and volume ~ RevUp Shampoo Review





Ocean air creates bounce and volume to hair by deepening the ''S''
formation of each curl. RevUp! Volumizing System is packed full of body
building energizers that attract moisture in the air which is essential
for creating extra bounce to your hair.



About the
Volumizing Shampoo


The Shampoo A gentle sulfate free formula, adds volume to your hair with curl building energizers.



About the Volumist

Adds extreme volume with

the same invigorating energizing effects ocean air has on hair.



My Review:

To be honest, I'm not sure my hair qualifies as "curly" anymore.  When I was younger I had natural wavy curls that helped keep some body in my hair, but also gave my hair a bad attitude on most days.  One side would cooperate with curling iron or straightening, but the other had a mind of its' own and would do whatever it felt like regardless of what I tried.



Now, I still have some attitude issues with my hair but not nearly as much, and most of my natural curl is gone but still some striving to survive.  With RevUp Shampoo, my curls seemed to pop back to life like I haven't seen in a long while - at least without a perm!  I was able to scrunch and curl my hair and KEEP body and curl in my hair nearly all day long - most of the time my hair usually falls flat by afternoon, but not with RevUp!  Now, I can only imagine how much volume and body those with lots of Curly Hair would get from using RevUp!



I went to the website to check the product out more and found something fun!  Curly Hair Solutions has Starter Kits for a variety of Curl Styles - from Loose, to Medium to Tight Curls!  AND, a Valentine's Day bonus buy - $10 off orders of $50 or more!  Check it out . . .

Darling Diva Style at affordable prices with O' What A Bow Hairbows for every occasion! Review & Giveaway







I'd like to introduce you to my friend Kim over at O' What A Bow.  She is a stay at home mom to 2 adorable kiddos and started making hair bows for her daughter's collection.  Then she realized that she
really enjoyed making them. You can find her hair bow designs on her Etsy Store - https://www.etsy.com/shop/Owhatabow   And on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/OWhatABow



She is frequently adding new and amazing looking bows to her
inventory.  She accepts special orders and ships 6 days a week. All her bows
come with the option of an alligator clip or barrette.



Kim was kind enough to send me some of her fabulous bows for review and has even

offered a Giveaway just for the wonderful followers here on Mom Loves 2 Read!













I must confess that I had a very hard time trying to choose which ones I would want.  She has so many different designs and styles that I got a bit overwhelmed, so I had to start making a list of all the ones I liked.  When that didn't work - as the list was still very very long, I just decided to go with mostly Holiday bows for  my girls to wear for their Christmas Programs and for Church, School and Outings this Holiday Season, with a couple non-Holiday bows as well so I could show a nice variety here for this review.













With Christmas less than 2 weeks away, and on my mind of course, I chose to start with bows that would coordinate with both of my girls' Christmas outfits.  Reds, Greens and fun for both girls to wear for the whole season.  One with Adorable Reindeer (with a cute little red nose) - and one that says "I <3 p="" santa="">







Then, I could not find a bow that I thought would match my older daughter's dress for her Christmas Program - so I sent Kim a photo asking if she could help me figure out which bow would match best - instead of showing me what she had in her current selection - she made this perfect custom bow to match . . .







My daughter was absolutely Thrilled - she could not believe how perfect the bow looks with her Christmas Dress!  What do you think?



Then, since we love having pretties in our hair - I had to choose some that did not have a Christmas Theme for the girls to wear all year long . . I fell in love with these adorable purple owls - and my youngest has a shirt that matches perfectly!  She just had to wear it to school to show off to her friends!









And finally - what Deer loving family would be complete without a cammo bow for those wanna-be hunters to wear?  My darling divas both wanted to wear this one at the same time - had to make sure that they know how to take turns choosing - at least until I can purchase some more from Kim!





So now my girls are more than ready to rock their outfits this holiday season!  What do you think of their Hair Pretties from O' What a Bow?







And what more fun could I possibly share with you?  How about a chance to win 4 bows of your own from O' What A Bow?

Enter below for a chance to win a set of 4 bows of choice from O' What a Bow's current selection!  Open to US residents 18 and older.  Giveaway runs from 12/16 through 12/31!

FlatIron Experts Digital Flat Iron review on Mom Loves 2 Read - Holiday Gift Guide 2013



For this review, I was sent a Flat Iron from FlatIronExperts.com with a few extra surprise gifts as well.  The first, and most important product I want to tell you about is the:



Avanti Wet-Dry Nano-Titanium Ceramic Silver Digital Flat Iron:




Combining
Nano-Titanium, Nano-Ceramic, Nano-Silver and built-in ion generator this
is the ultimate high performance flat iron injected with all the latest
most advanced technology. Avanti Wet to Dry Nano Titanium Ceramic Flat iron
is one of the lightest flat iron you can get your hands on weighting at
only 0.88 lbs. Adjustable Digital Temperature display allow you to know
the exact temperature your flat iron is at for precision straightening.
Avanti Wet to Dry heats up to a scorching 450° F in less than 30
seconds. The unique "Wet to Dry" feature allows you to flatten your hair on Wet hair saving you time from blow drying.







Adjustable Digital Temperature (Fahrenheit to Celsius):
The a
djustable digital temperature display allows you to know the exact temperature of your flat
iron for precision straightening. Avanti Wet to Dry heats up to a
scorching 450° F (230
°C)
in less than 30 seconds.  


 





Nano Titanium / Ceramic Technology: Avanti
WD-AVCROC distributes heat evenly across the entire surface, retains
heat more efficiently, and eliminates damaging hot spots. Ceramic emits a
natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your
hair



1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft



2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair



3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling





In addition to all this amazingness, the Flat Iron is made from Nano-Silver with Negative Ion Technology and Far Infrared Heat!  These are all some of the newest and best technology available today.  You can read more about each of these here on the website.








I love this flat iron.  It is one of my absolute favorites.  I have borrowed flat irons from a couple of friends, as well as using two different brands from my local store and one from a beauty supply store to compare with the Avanti Wet-to-Dry Flat Iron from FlatIronExperts.com.  Of all the ones I have used over the last several months, only two stuck out as my favorites - they work well, do the job they are intended to do in the least amount of time and leave my hair not feeling damaged.  Avanti is one of those top two favorites and remains readily accessible on my counter.



As a busy Stay At Home Mom, I don't usually have a lot of time to spend on getting myself ready to go in the mornings.  Especially on Sunday mornings when I not only have to take care of myself but get my two girls ready and keep my son on task.  So having products and tools that minimize the amount of time I have to spend on my personal beauty regime is a big plus for me.



I used the Avanti Wet-to-Dry flat iron over the course of 4 months mixed with several other brands of flat



irons in different price ranges (thanks to several friends for the loaners!)  I am not a fan of using a straight iron or curling iron on wet hair but have in emergencies as I do not like the results and time it takes to use a blow dryer on my hair.  Although the Avanti does work on wet hair and does get my hair straight even while wet, It takes much longer and I don't like the "hissss" that my poor hair makes when using the flat iron on it wet, so I only did that twice for this review.  I will say it does work, just is not something I prefer to do on a regular basis.



Used on dry hair, the Avanti Wet-to-Dry flat iron is tied for the number one spot on my favorite flat iron list.





Here are my list of likes and dislikes for this flat iron:

Pros:

*Does the job quicker and more efficiently than any local store bought flat/straightening iron

*has a temperature setting so that I can have it higher or lower depending on who I am using it for

*is comfortable to hold in my hand while using it

*covers just the right amount of hair

*has a smooth glide when sliding down a length of  hair



Cons:

*makes a soft high-pitched mechanical sound when plugged in

*does not fit in my flat iron travel case

* is heavier than most other flat irons



For most people the soft noise this flat iron makes when plugged in would not even be noticed.  I just have a sensitivity to high pitch noises so I unplug it when not in use to "fix" that little personal pet peeve.  lol

Otherwise this is a wonderful flat iron and well worth having on hand.  Just not very travel-friendly.



Now, for the surprise items:  Included with the Avanti Wet-Dry Nano-Titanium Ceramic Silver Digital Flat Iron were two additional gifts that I absolutely LOVE.  



http://www.flatironexperts.com/Best-Heat-Protectant-Spray-s/338.htm 

Thermal Shine heat protection spray for my hair - love this!  My hair dresser uses a heat protection spray on my hair in the salon, and now I have one of  my own - it seems to help keep my hair from being singed or having the dead/split end damage from excessive heat use!  Great for keeping my hair healthy - plus adds a little shine to make it stand out from the crowd!








http://www.flatironexperts.com/Best-Shampoo-Top-3-Recommended-s/304.htm





Macadamia Natural Oil Moisturizing Shampoo  - This is an amazing shampoo and one of my new favorites.  It has a wonderful fresh smell and leaves my hair feeling clean and silky.  I don't even have to use much conditioner after this shampoo as it rinses clean and leaves my hair feeling soft and my scalp with a wonderful clean tingle!  Love this!





My Overall Opinion?  This is one of the top Flat Irons i personally have tried.  It works great and the heat setting makes it family friendly.  My daughters always complain of how hot their hair gets with regular flat irons and curing irons, so with the Avanti Wet-to-Dry, I can dial the heat down to one that is more comfortable for them and easier for me to use on myself and my girls as well.  Check out the website to find a large selection of flat irons - one just for your personal or family needs!  http://www.flatironexperts.com



And, they often have contests you could enter for a chance to WIN some of their products - http://www.flatironexperts.com/Flat-Iron-Experts-Contests-s/355.htm

Vidal Sassoon Holiday Gift Guide 2013 Giveaway Event #LiaHChristmas #lovez2read



Come enter another Holiday Gift Guide 2013 Giveaway here on  Mom Loves 2 Read.



Vidal Sassoon helps women avoid the winter frizzies with their Tourmaline Ceramic Pro-Series hair dryer. Isn't that one of the biggest complaints that we have ladies for the winter months (besides the extremely dry skin) that we would do anything to avoid? I can tell when winter is upon us, because I usually need to stock up on some anti-static spray for my clothing and my hair (yes, it works on your hair too) but who wants to walk around smelling like anti-static spray all day long? I certainly don't!






Vidal Sassoon Pro Series




With more rain that I can remember seeing in the early Fall, I know my family could use a good hair dryer that doesn't frizz our hair.  Looks like a great gift that would fit perfectly under the Christmas Tree!

 

Vidal Sassoon's Tourmaline 1875 W Ceramic Dryer is excellent in helping you combat the winter frizzies! The Tourmaline Ceramic Technology products smooth, frizz-free results with a brilliant shine. Some helpful tips from the stylists:


  • Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water.

  • Start with a quick, initial drying. Set dryer to highest heat and speed. With head forward, flip hair over and dry the under layers first.

  • When hair is almost completely dry, lower heat and speed setting and begin to style hair as desired.

  • Push the Cold Shot button to set the style with a cool flow of air once the desired style is achieved.

  • Concentrator attachment - By concentrating the airflow, individual sections of the hair can be styled. NOTE: Do not concentrate airflow on any one area for an extended period of time.



Michael Forrey shows you two of his techniques to help you get rid of the frizz and bring back the beautifully smooth and manageable hair that you love!





Thanks to the wonderful people at Vidal Sassoon, we have a #LiaHChristmas giveaway event specifically for you!
