GH1933 Bellus Boar Bristle Brush


I recently received a Bellus Boar Bristle hair brush from GH1933, which has a unique curved and vented design that does a fantastic job brushing hair and makes blowing it out incredibly easy. The brush is very large, most noticeably in width which makes brushing fast and efficient, but despite the size it is also remarkably light.


The handle fits my hand perfectly, and the curvature of the brush provides a gentle massage to my head while brushing. I find that the combination of plastic bristles and the boar hair allow the brush to run through the hair just right without pulling on it too much.


When brushing hair that’s prone to tangles like mine, I suggest to start brushing toward the bottom, working out knots. Then once you’re done, you can start brushing top-to-bottom as usual, to help move product and conditioning properties from the boar bristles throughout the hair.


I only prepared my hair with one product, Pravana, before I used this brush, and it gave me great results with minimal tangling. I still have some questions about whether the boar hair is obtained in an ethical way, and the brush has a unique scent to it, but honestly this is a fantastic all-around hairbrush that I can highly recommend to everyone.

LIVING PROOF No-Frizz Instant De-Frizzer


Frizz no more! Living Proof Instant De-Frizzer is a dry conditioning spray that works to immediately calm frizz, flyaways and overall hydrate parched hair. I have medium thickness, pin-straight hair, however between washes it becomes dry, frizzy and unmanageable. Once I dusted it over my hair, my locks instantly soaked up the hydrating formula and I was easily able to calm and comb out the frizzes with my hands.



It's easy to use, simply sweep the mist from top to bottom. I personally recommend not starting at the roots, but a couple inches down instead, in order to avoid oily buildup. Due to that potential buildup, if you’re anything like me and overly oily in my hair and face, I wouldn’t go overboard with it either.



There is a strong perfume once sprayed, but I’m not sensitive and I like the soft fruity scent that lingers afterwards. After using this for some time, I love the way it helps nourish my hair in-between washes and keeps frizz on the down low. The Instant De-Frizzer matches the effectiveness of other similar products but is quite pricey by comparison. For instance, Eva NYC Forget Me Knot Dry Conditioner is amazing, but half the price ($12). Overall, it's still a very high quality dry conditioner that lives up to the conditioning and nourishment that my hair needs.

Garnier Whole Blends Olive Mondose Hair Mask

I was more than happy when I learned that I would be receiving a sample of Garnier Whole Blends Olive Mondose Hair Mask, since not long ago I was searching for it in my local Meijer. I hoped that since I have used other masks from the Whole Blend line they would have one in the Legendary Olive line as well. Fortunately, I was able to try it, and it was well worth the wait!

Hair masks are a must-have to keep my hair healthy and nourished. That's because I have very long, medium thickness, bleach blonde hair that is often unmanageable and dry. I absolutely love Garnier Whole Blends, so naturally I was excited to use the Legendary Olive mask. My expectations were already high since I use their Honey Treasures mask frequently and swear by it. I love when I can find a inexpensive and highly effective product, too.

The formula is very rich and creamy, efficiently spreading on your hair like butter, coating every inch. Even with hair beyond my shoulders, I only needed a quarter size drop to work it through completely. While doing so, I also couldn't help but notice that this mask has an amazing natural olive scent. There was a noticeable difference after the recommended three-minute wait, since I could easily run my fingers through my hair while the product was setting. I prefer to rinse my hair with cool water to lock-in the nutrients and go about toweling drying my hair afterwards.


For those who are sensitive to scents, I wouldn’t say this one is overpowering, and its very faint on the hair once completely dried. I also had no issues with the product leaving my scalp oily or greasy feeling. When all was said and done, my hair was noticeable smoother, softer, with no frustrating tangles and looked vibrant. As of right now, this is a case where great things come in small packages, but hopefully they will make a full size mask available (10.1 fluid ounce) so I can enjoy the benefits more frequently!

Garnier Halloween Style VoxBox

Salutations!

It's never too late to share my experience with Garnier Style! I was able to receive two amazing full sized products from Influenster VoxBox. This was just for Halloween costume preparation and my hair needed that extra finesse.  






Lets start with the first product, Garnier Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist which pairs nicely with naturally straight hair.

I was a bit skeptical where this straightening mist would fit in my life, since I don’t usually straighten my hair that often because my hair is already naturally straight. However, it works great for days when I have had my hair up all day, which leaves it wavy and creased. It also comes in handy when I have wake up with my hair all wavy and tousled. I spray from mid-length down to the ends and 1-2 pumps per area, then I take my hands and run it through the ends while working it in. Even before using the flat iron I notice my hair instantly become more nourished and flattened.

I now use it after I have mostly dried my hair with the blow dryer. I find it works as a great tamer of fly-aways and a great heat protector, whether you are using a flat iron or not. Just like the other products in this line, it smells fresh with citrus and tangy notes. Overall, I think offers versatile use with other heating tools to provide optimal thermal protection. I also absolutely love the fact that it moisturizes my hair with the argan oil.



The second product was the Garnier Style Brilliantine Shine Glossing Spray that provides optimal shine and nourishment.

I really enjoy this shine spray as long as I apply the right amount. I usually add it after I have completed my look, or when I need a little pick-me-up after a long day and my hair looks and feels dried out. I was also able to use this shine spray, along with the Flat Iron Perfector, to complete my Halloween look this year! 

I've got long and bleach dyed hair, so it can appear damaged or dull if not taken care of. I find that this spray gives it just the right shine and provides smoothness when my hair desperately needs it. I think a little goes a long way, because even though my hair is medium thickness, it can easily become greasy looking if I apply too much of this spray. It works best for me if I spray 2-3 pumps into my hands, then give it a good rub before I apply it to the ends of my hair. I have tried spraying the recommend 6 to 8 inches away from my head, but still feel it gets too close to my roots causing me to look oily or greasy. I think it’s trial and error to find what works best for you individually. I like that it contains Argan Oil, which is known to help add moisture, repair and nourish your hair. The product smells amazing with citrus and tangy notes that aren't overwhelming to me, but then again, I am not sensitive to scents generally. Overall, I have added this shine spray to my daily routine and it helps to keep my hair soft and manageable throughout the day.


Halloween look completed with Garnier Style products!

Suave Professionals Honey Infusion Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-In Conditioner

Salut Cuppies, 

I was fortunate enough to try for free from Crowdtap and Suave several products from a Honey Infusion line that includes a shampoo, conditioner and a 10 in 1 leave-in conditioner. 


Honey Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner


I am extremely excited to try Suave Professionals New Honey Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner. The pair are made to strengthen normal to weak hair, and I truly put them to the test. Since I've dyed my hair numerous times, I definitely need a duo that will help my split ends and repair my hair. 

The packaging is a nice golden honey color to represent the ingredients and looks indulgent for your hair. I am loving the new trend of honey infused products, and I have high hopes these will provide the optimal nutrients for my damaged hair. Both bottles are fairly skinny at a 12.6 fluid ounce each, but I would love to see in a larger bottle because I have over 22 inches of hair.

 The shampoo has a nice consistency with a decadent honey aroma, but I felt it could lather better. That's not to say it didn’t clean my hair, but it felt as if I need to add more shampoo to get a good lather going. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the conditioner and felt it was perfect for hydrating my hair. I could still feel the softness in my hair after rinsing out, and it did not leave it heavy and greasy. I do however  wish the bottle sizes were larger, because I use twice as much in conditioner as I do shampoo.

 After showering, then drying with heat or air, my hair felt softer and more nourished. I notice my hair smells great while still wet and after drying has just a hint of honey scent. The results were great enough for me to keep using the full sized samples I received and I am inclined to purchase more in the future. I am especially intrigued by the vitamin infusion line as well. I also noticed after a week of use my hair felt stronger, but not  after just one use as claimed. This is definitely a duo you want to stick with for a while to build strength and nourishment.




Honey Infusion 10 in 1 Leave-In Conditioner



Since I have over 22 inches of over-processed, fine hair that loves to tangle into a million knots after showering, this leave in conditioner provides the nourishment and strength my hair needs.

What’s great about the packaging of this particular leave in conditioner is how much product you get! The bottle is 10.2 fluid ounces, which is more than enough for it to last a long time. I really like that you get more for your money and having such long hair I always use a little extra to cover all my strands.

The texture is nice and creamy and a little goes a long way when working into damp hair. I definitely can’t go without using this now, since it helps with detangling my hair and keeping it silky soft throughout the day. The fragrance of decadent honey is more potent when you are applying but fades nicely into a soft scent after your hair dries. Don’t over apply because it will weigh your hair down and become greasy, but that’s the case with any leave-in conditioner, so just finding what works best for you is optimal.

Overall I love the results and this will definitely will be a staple in my household. Helps my hair feel nourished throughout the day and calms my flyaways. Also, you can apply it to dry hair by wetting your hands and applying the product. This is especially convenient at the end of the day, once my hair has become more dry and brittle. In this case you get quality and quantity all in one!
