GOOD NEWS FROM KLORANE!

Is your crowning glory not as glorious as you’d like?  Does it need a little repair, restoration, rejuvenation?  Klorane steps up with three products inspired by the desert date palm which is found in the Sahel-savannah region in Africa.  This is a strong tree that thrives in an unfriendly environment just as our hair often must due to hot styling tools, chemical treatments, teasing, etc.   Desert Date extract is the lead ingredient in Desert Date Shampoo, Mask with Desert Date, and Leave-In Cream with Desert Date, all formulated to restore hair to its natural resiliency and brilliance.

Desert Date Shampoo contains a wealth of components that are ideal for in-depth repair, nourishing and restructuring.  It is recommended that hair be shampooed twice a week and rinsed thoroughly.

For optimum results follow the shampoo with the Mask and Leave-In Cream.  This Mask is intended to target brittleness and dullness due to extensive hair damage.  After shampooing leave on for five minutes then comb and rinse.  For an even more intensive treatment leave on for 20 minutes under a hot towel.

Containing no silicone or parabens Klorane Laboratories considers Leave-In Cream the ultimate in repair for dry, brittle and damaged hair.   It is suggested that two or three dime-sized drops of the Cream be applied to dry or damp lengths and ends daily.

Today not even our tresses can escape stresses - Klorane recommends this triple-action trio to maintain hair’s health and beauty.

Newly released these products may be found at www.kloraneusa.com.

LISSEA LEAVE-IN SMOOTHING FLUID by RENE FURTERER

Are sun, sea and summer taking a toll on your otherwise well mannered tresses?  It happens to all of us - one thing about this warm weather biz, it leaves hair in a frizz!  Many find themselves shampooing more and liking it less.  If the sun doesn’t dry a crowning glory repeated blow drying will.  Thank goodness for Lissea Leave-In Smoothing Fluid by Rene Furterer!

It’s so easy to use - simply apply a small amount to towel dried hair and blow dry.  The Fluid is rich in Cherry wax, a natural extract with remarkable smoothing properties.

You don’t have to avoid fun in the sun - just keep Lissea Leave-In Smoothing Fluid at the ready.

NEIL GEORGE SHAMPOO

The Neil George line is new to me, and I’m delighted to discover it.  Hair care and body products are offered by two English expats Amanda George and Neil Weisberg who have become the go-tos among celebrities .  Their Beverly Hills Salon on Civic Center Drive is mecca for the beautiful and the bold, winning raves for both cuts and coloring.  Their product line is extensive, holding many temptations.

I began with the Neil George Shampoo which is the ultimate, a luxurious shampoo infused with a rich Indian Gooseberry blend and botanical extracts that tend to make hair shine, shine, shine!  My hair is fine so while the shampoo delivers a luscious lather it did not weigh my hair down.  Since my hair is also short a quarter size dollop in the palm of my hand delivered lather to spare.  A repeat shampooing was totally unnecessary.

The clean scent is subtle and reminded me of fresh air, the outdoors.  Love the easy to grip tube for the shower and the results - squeaky clean, manageable hair.  Cannot wait to try more from this estimable team, which I’ll find at www.gilchristsoames.com.

Dry Martini? Maybe. Dry Sherry? Yes. Dry Hair? Absolutely Not!

Some like a dry Martini.  Others are fond of dry Sherry.  But no one, absolutely no one likes or wants dry hair!  Nonetheless, like it or not it’s one of those things that cannot always be avoided.  (Heat drying and styling takes a toll on my hair) So thank goodness for Leonor Greyl’s HUILE DE PALME!  

    This TLC for tired tresses is a pre-shampoo treatment that nourishes and restores hair’s natural shine and manageability.  So necessary for after a swim or a day in the sun!  Not only is it a restorative but it contains UVA/UVB filter to further protect hair.

    Easy to apply - simply pour a small amount into your hand then rub palms together and work through your hair with fingers or better yet a natural bristle brush.  (My hair is short so it only takes a nickel-size amount.)  

    We can always find it at www. leonorgreyl.com  

    Ah, now for a lovely glass of Sherry.
