Hair Favorite: It's a 10 - Shine Spray

For years, I was afraid of all of the shine serums and shine products I had come across because I have such fine hair - everything seemed to leave a grease spot in the middle of my head.  I was exposed to a few that left me convinced that my hair could support a shine product, but had not really found THE product for me, so kind of gave up on it for a while.  I am sure many of you can relate to that!   
Last spring, I went to a large hair show.  They gave away full size products of the It's a 10 line.  I decided to go home and try everything.  The first thing that I was impressed by was the fact that every product in their line had TEN things it did!  Everything was listed out on the back, so when someone got the product home and couldn't remember what it did... the list of 10 things covered it all.  
So user friendly - I use and recommend this line to all my clients.  The last thing I want you to do is buy a product and have it sit in a drawer for the next two years until you finally decide to throw it out.  
If I had to choose ONE product from the line it would be the SHINE SPRAY.  I love, love, love the shine spray.  It actually makes your hair shine!  This is the last product I put on - even over hair spray.  It does not  weigh my hair down and gives it perfect shine.  Not only does it act as a great finishing product, it also is a great thermal protection product: aka you can use it as a supportive product when flat ironing your hair to also get maximum shine. 



It's a 10 - Shine Spray





Here are the 10 things it does:
• Weightless Shine
• Softens Coarse Hair

As for price - wow this varies on where you buy it!  You can get it anywhere between 18-25 bucks for the 4 oz spray - so it pays to look around.  

Remember, I will always give you rock bottom prices as well. 

This week's favorite product for hair: kms makeover spray

About a month or two ago, I was given a KMS California stying product with some coupons from my local beauty supply.  I am still finding my way in the hair world in terms of my favorite products from different lines.  This was timely.  The sample was the blow dry spray - I decided to try it out in one of my appointments to speed up my dry time and found it really worked.

I went back and decided to buy a full size.  They had a stylist kit available with some products that would be of interest to me and the price was right, so I thought - what the heck - let's see how this goes.  Well, one of the products what rather gimmicky.  It was a crackling "mouse" that I had hoped would give great volume for my clients.  The volume worked, but it has scared a few clients so I've decided not to continue to use it - the crackle was too loud.

The product I have fallen in love with is the KMS hair play - Makeover Spray.  I cannot live without this product.

My personal hair needs:

• I can only shampoo about once a week to maintain my vibrant color
• I don't like to shampoo in general
• I needed something that would get me by a WHOLE WEEK - allowing me to wear it up, wear it down, curl, flat iron, twist, braid, back comb and do it all over again.  This allows me to do all of that. 

The true test: 

Today, just for kicks, I was an artist at the MEGA event at Nordstrom in Bellevue - I wore my hair kind of "snookie-ish" - huge!  I did this in part because I am running late in my weekly hair shampoo so this was a good  "recycled' hair style for me.  I'll write more later about what I call "recycled hair. 

I had 3 people walk up to me and ask me the name of my stylist and ask who did my color.  IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE I HAVE LAST USED SHAMPOO OR CONDITIONER ON MY HAIR.  I gladly handed out my cards and introduced myself as my own colorist (don't try this at home: I am a licensed Cosmetologist).  

I was amazed.  I used to be the girl who had to shampoo my hair everyday because it felt too limp and greasy (pre-beauty school).  Not any more!  

All that to say:  go buy the KMS California Hair Play - Makeover Spray.  If you can't find a place to buy it - get in touch with me and I'll hook you up.
