living proof {in search of alternative sulfate free shampoo}

My recent Brazilian Blowout treatment on myself has been a success as far as leaving my hair manageable and frizz free. My blow dry time is minimized and my color treated hair is sleek and healthy as ever. The only downside is my preference of product. Brazilian Blowout maintains that these after care products are essential to keeping the look and it's lasting power,(approximately 3-6 months). I have done a little client research of my own Brazilian Blowout success stories and this is what I have come up with. Most curly hair clients love it, but don't' love the limp, flat hair they can experience at first with a fresh treatment. Thorough washing takes care of this in a week or so. I have suggested even alternating product so there is no residue or build up and the Brazilian Blowout lives on in their hair. 

Living Proof  sulfate free shampoo, I'm going to give it a go on my own hair. I'll let you know how it does with my own Brazilian Blowout tresses.

Now if only I could find a cool faux fur like this, to go with my newly sleek hair!

I'm sure you have probably heard that the L.A. Lakers just won a victory championship against the Boston Celtics. My voice is hoarse from all of the cheering and screaming. I am proud of our team but I have to also give some credit to the Celtics for some of their class acts, like Ray Allen, (I loved seeing his mama cheering for him!) and surprising team spirit from other players even after a huge loss, you can read more about it here. Getting back to some hair needs I have a client with lions-mane hair that needs to be tamed today.

moroccan oil hydrating styling cream I like smoothing with styling creams and later using products like this for an after glaze of shimmer

Trilliant can be used on damp or dry hair and before flat ironing leaving sleek shine with out the oil slick

these product contains essential ingredients and I have had clients come from far to pick some up, they love it!

 Sealing the hair with products, like this for the final touch and you are ready to go

keeps hair in place and frizz free, I just love the specks of glimmer that it gives more final touches with 

Shaper here.

I want my sexy back { long hair}

looking at this recent pictorial made me long for my hair back

stephanie seymour always looking hot but of course it's more than the hair

love that she is in the category of models aging fabulously 

you can see more of her sexy back here

see it looks good even pulled back instead of a pony tail which is what I tend to do

or piled up high like this

Another one of my favorite gals with long hair is  RHONY, Kelly Bensimon. Although sometimes she acts like she has a cup of crazy for breakfast, she still is lovely to look at in her clothing choices and great hair, she even has her own blog here. Just so happens that this glam shoot was photographed by Kelly's ex Gilles Bensimon, just saying. How about you? Is there any particular look that you are longing for?

great braiding and more hair tips here

it's all about loose, soft, sexy, waves

 Conditioning long hair is essential hair. Nourished, healthier hair  cuts down on blow dry time a smoothing serum helps too 

For all of my Brazilian Blowout Babes, the treatment to keep frizz out and smooth, sexy, shiny hair in has been a success! The sulfate free shampoo and aftercare products from Brazilian Blowout with Acai and other nourishing ingredients are recommended from the manufacturer to guarantee long, lasting, results. Keeping with the Sulfate free shampoo's I was so excited to see that this Miracle product now has a new Sulfate free moisturizing shampoo. Using products like the Shampoo, mask, leave-in conditioner and new styling serum would surely keep your hair looking smooth, soft, and wouldn't that be nice if it made it grow long too?

The brazilian blowout, waves like this with out the frizz

Love the look perfect and care free, perfect for transition Spring to Summer

with the recommended products , the right brush and and smoothing serum once the treatment is in, hair waves with out the frizz.

but what's wrong with a little frizz?

You might have already heard the buzz I have been in the know for a bit but not wanting to give in to changing hair structure because I like hair be it curly, wavy, frizzy. Every texture has a story to tell on blonde hair, brunettes and and ravishing redheads. After hearing great results from fellow colleagues, and his rave tweets about this service on her as the requests continued coming from my own clients, I decided to give it a whirl. 

The Brazilian Blowout gives fabulous results for clients who like me, just can't beat the frizz without the swipe of a  flat iron. I think it's important to know that after the treatment although the elimination of frizz is obvious without the proper treatment shampoos prescribed, this Keratin conditioning treatment can quickly relapse sooner into the hair's natural form. On the upside I have seen many a client with successful results. My own concern is most of my clients are color clients as well, and I do believe a proper color preserve shampoo along with the proper Brazilian treatment shampoo should be used to keep long lasting color and shine results. It's important to note; Brazilian Blowout results are only guaranteed with the proper recommended shampoo minus Sodium Chloride which is basically sulfate free (not so many bubbles). What tips do you have for styling your hair free of frizz?

a great model for the brazilian blowout, of course not everyone has a celebrity stylist weekly

I just love her hair + style and always flawless eyeliner

I love a girl who can change her color like a chameleon
