Hair TLC

I have been selling so many conditioning treatments lately! So what do I do? I blog about it before I go search the Internet for ways to spend that nice commission check coming my way! I'm thinkin' mama needs a new pair of shoes...
I'm my top three picks are...

#3 K-Pak Intense Hydrator by Joico


I used Joico in beauty school and liked this quite a bit. Its a little too heavy for my hair but all you course-haired chicks will probably dig it! Its especially great to use with their color-protection line.

#2 Hydracure by Pureology


This is the first conditioning treatment I ever used. It smells nice and comes with this cute little comb! Its spendy though, so be prepared! Its not too heavy for my hair, which makes me happy.

#1 Quenching or Mending Masque by Bumble and bumble



I list these under one because I love them both equally and you can pick which one to use depending on what you hair needs. Quenching is for hair that just isn't getting enough moisture from regular conditioning or the weather is zapping it dry. This will make your hair so soft, tame some of the fly-aways and get rid of that "dusty ends" look you get with dry hair. Mending is for my chemical and heat dependent girls (I am in this category!). If your hair is getting toasted from over-processing (meaning color or perm. Other solution for perm damage? Don't get a freakin' perm.) or excessive heat styling, this will be your new BFF. It will help close those frayed cuticles to stop the hair from continuously splitting and breaking. I'm not even going to tell you how amazing they both smell. This is going to sound creepy, but they smell so good you wanna eat them. No joke.
Some of you might be thinking you don't need a conditioning treatment, but I assure you-ya do! Even my short haired girls need one every so often, even if its only once a month or so. If you don't want to commit to a whole bottle, your salon definitely has a conditioning treatment on its menu for a reasonable price! That way you can try it out and see if you like it. Your hair will thank you! Or me.

-You can give yourself a conditioning treatment a couple of ways:

• Shower and wash your hair but don't condition. When you get out, towel dry your hair a little and comb the treatment through. Clip your hair up (put on a shower cap if you have it!) and leave it for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse and you are done!


• Before bed wash and towel dry your hair. Apply the treatment like the steps above and put on a shower cap. Next, take a beanie cap, put it on over the shower cap and go to bed! The beanie will trap your body heat and help the treatment penetrate deeper. Rinse it out in the morning and you are good to go. With extra soft hair, even!

-Don't use a conditioning treatment like a regular conditioner, its way too potent and heavy for that. Only use it once or twice a week at most!
