Miracle in a Bottle

Having splashed my feet around in the pool that is the modeling and acting industry, I'm fully aware how important taking care of myself is. But this industry isn't easy on your hair or skin either. My hair is constantly being subjected to heat, and sprays, and more heat. Did I say heat? Blow dryers, hot curlers, flat irons, and curling irons of all kinds. My face is made up, and scrubbed, and then made up some more. When I find something is healthy, affordable, works, and makes me look even better, I am all for it. If I wanted a tattoo, I would tattoo my favorite brands of shampoo across my ass...

Okay, so I know I have a lot of male readers and so my "product" posts or "crazy beauty secret" posts probably mean very little to you. But hey, feel free to indulge a little bit and keep reading! You'll soon realize the hell women go through to keep ourselves...looking not like you.

Think men are God's gift to women? Uh, wrong. We have to push eight pound babies through our vagina and he gives us this in return. It's a steal. ..here is featured product number one.

It's a 10 - miracle leave-in product

I've become super picky about what I put in my hair, especially leave in products. My hair naturally is board straight, fine, and lacks body of any kind. I'm just lucky I have a lot of it. Anyway, because of these "qualities," I'm wary of anything that has the potential to weigh down my hair and cause the style to fall flat or fall out. About two months ago, a preshoot hair stylist recommended this product to me. It was love at first spray. My hair never felt lighter, softer, and holy hell, you had to wear shades to even look at me, my hair was THAT shiny. My hair continued to style better and product build-up was nonexistent. I decided to try the product daily and my hair has never been healthier.

Want to go buy a bottle yet? If not, here's the complete, 10 point list, of everything is spray does.

  1. Repairs dry, damaged, hair
  2. Adds shine
  3. Detangles
  4. Controls frizz
  5. Seals and protects hair color
  6. prevents split ends
  7. stops hair breakage
  8. creates silkness
  9. enhances natural body
  10. flat iron spray and thermal protector
I can attest to every one of these points, except for five because my hair has no artificial coloring or chemicals. However, I can double attest to ten because I feel that protecting your hair from being over exposed to heat is one of the most important things you can do - and with this product, you can noticeably see the difference immediately.

My stylist gave me a 2 oz, travel size bottle and it lasted me about a month. So when I went to look for a replacement, I almost had a panic attack when I couldn't find it. Guys, I was ready to sell my kidney to New Jersey politicians to purchase this product on the black market. After looking everywhere, I finally found it at Supercuts, available in two different sizes - the 2 oz and 8 oz bottles. I purchased the 8 oz for $16.95 and the travel size is available for $8.50. Now, I realize some of you might think this is way too expensive, but I promise, it's worth every penny. If you're going to splurge on something for your hair, you will not go wrong with this product. It's fairly concentrated, so when you run low, just add a bit of water to the bottle, shake and you're good to go for awhile longer. You can also purchase the 10 oz bottle on the website here for $24.87.

I do not travel to a shoot or overnight without my magic in a bottle. Amazing, ladies. Who doesn't want every hair day to be a great hair day?
