Aly’s Hair Finds!

Filed under Hair

Every few weeks, I pop in with the latest and greatest picks for your beauty wardrobe. It’s a fun project that I hope to do for years to come – but I’m mindful that there’s more to beauty than our faces!

The key to keeping our hair at its sexiest is using the best products to fit its needs. My hair, like me, is pretty darn needy – and here are some great new hair products I found that seem to fit the bill!

Bumble and bumble Color Support for Cool Blondes

I love even the name of this product. I am, I hope, a cool blonde in several ways. However, in this instance, cool blonde means keeping naturally white, silver and platinum blondes’ color clean and pure; by using violet pigments to counteract yellowing. It totally works. Even the most natural among us experience seasonal hair dullness – and this seems to be a god-sent rescue!

Ojon Freshen-Up Two Piece Set

QVC.com has a special Ojon duo available that is ideal for us girls on the go. It’s designed to prep and reinvigorate your hairstyle when you’re in a hurry via the Revitalizing Mist, which conditions and detangles the hair, and Rub-Out, a dry cleanser spray that instantly refreshes hair without water, erasing excess oil and product buildup. As a girl who has many a time ducked into Sephora for a quick spritz of the other major dry shampoo on the shelves, let me tell you, this one really works – and is a life-saver for those last-minute dates when you don’t have time to run home and wash your hair.

T3 Pro Mini Pink Flat Iron with Paddle Brush

No, I did not simply choose this because it’s pink!!! As my straightening is beginning to grow out, I have that telltale half-inch of frizz at my roots. This iron I found at QVC.com is saving me like none of the (OK, half-dozen) irons I’ve owned before. It has tourmaline-infused ceramic plates that heat up quickly and glide through hair, whether you want to straighten some frizz, or curl some ends (I’ve done both!) and the results last all day – except of of course for the certain trip into the rain 10 minutes later. Plus, it’s small and super compact to pack – which means it’s coming with me to South Beach next week!

More soon. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than playing with my hair…
