For as long as I can recall oil treatments for healthy shiny hair have been popular. As a teen the old VO5 hot oil treatment was a favorite with my older sisters. Today we have many more options available to us, and I have a new appreciation for the benefits of topical oil treatments. With years of heat abuse from the blow dryer, to the flat iron, to color treatments hair can become brittle to a point where it is literally breaking off and preventing length.
There are many oil solutions available at SkinStore in our hair department. Leading the pack with 9 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 possible stars is the Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Mist. This oil infuses hair with anti-oxidants and is nutrient rich to help eliminate frizz and protect hair from that damage done through heat styling, plus its color safe. Alterna also offers the Bamboo Smooth Pure Kendi Oil Pure Treatment which is in dropper form and it too banishes frizz, is humidity resistant and safe for color treated hair.
Rene Furterer Complexe 5 Regenerating Plant Extract is another solution that offers over 50% concentration of orange and lavender essential oils to stimulate microcirculation on the scalp, strengthens the hair, and cleans your scalp of unwanted debris.
The final featured product is the Phyto Huile D Ales Intense Hydrating Oil that is a 100% natural botanical solution that provides nourishment and hydration to dry and chemically treated hair.

The warm sun and humidity are out to create a mess of our beautiful tresses again! Our hair becomes dry, brittle and the frizz factor is in full effect with the heat. Luckily, there is help to tame those hair baddies that summer brings our way.

They can range from creams to oils and now even come in dry mists! Here are 3 progressive product suggestions to rock your hair care world!
Ampoules are underused skincare treatments in the industry. A lot of us have used them during a facial, but then forget about the lasting effects they can bring by using them at home. They can target our concerns, provide hydration, promote collagen, and help to restore our skin. Ampoules are stable, hygienic, and sealed until you are ready to use them.
Ampoules, or sometimes called fluids, can be beneficial for all skin types and concerns. They give our skin the necessary boost that it needs after traveling, post skin care procedure, during dry winters, or after a long hot summer. TheBabor skin care line carries fluids that help to boost collagen, calm and hydrate your skin, or provide your skin with essential vitamins and nutrients it needs to stay healthy. You can choose from their collagen booster, distressing fluid, or the multi active vitamin fluid.
Ampoules are also great for whitening teeth! Try GoSmile products and their whitening system ampoules. You can see a noticeable difference in the brightness of your teeth in a short amount of time with no trays or strips needed.
Ampoules are also used for hair to help restore, protect and keep healthy. If you hair needs a little attention and repair, try a hydrating oil treatment by Phytoto smooth out split ends and provide damage control.
The next time your beauty regimen needs a boost, reach for an ampoule to get you the results you are looking for!

Do you feel like you just left the salon, yet your color is fading fast? In this economy we’re all looking for ways to cut corners and get the most for our dollar. Here are a few tips to preserve and prolong your color and get the most out of each salon visit.
1. Frederic Fekkai Advanced Salon Technician Anti-Fade Top Coat is just what the hair stylist ordered! A new intensive formula has an anti-fade complex that contains a natural UV shield, Galanga Root. Your color is more vibrant, intensified and longer lasting. The quick dry top coat seals hair cuticles, prevents frizz, and guards against daily damage. Here’s a little bit more on the Frederic Fekkai Salon Technician color line:
2. Dry shampoo is a life saver! One of the best and easiest ways to preserve your vibrant color is to avoid over-washing your hair. If you wash your hair daily then you are stripping your color at a much faster rate while depleting your hair of the natural oils that are essential to the health of your hair and scalp. Alternate washing your hair with a dry shampoo to greatly extend the life of your dye job. We love Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk.
With the use of a few products your hair will be much obliged and your wallet too! Fewer trips to the salon equals more money in the bank.
