If I Could Only Pick One Hair Styling Product it Would Be Oscar Blandi Olio di Jasmine

January 17, 2013 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

This is a reader/guest review of Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum. Thanks by Jen Waldorf for the review!!!!

Oscar Blandi provides some of the best hair styling products and hair treatments, in my opinion, and my absolute favorite Oscar Blandi product is their Olio di Jasmine Oil Serum. This hair serum may seem expensive at 35 dollars for 1.69 ounces, but the product itself is nothing short of perfection, especially for those people who love the smell of jasmine.

While many beauty products are scented with synthetic jasmine fragrance because of the high cost of the pure essential oil, the Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum contains only natural jasmine oil. Oscar Blandi claims that the jasmine oil protects and strengthens hair and adds shine. A small amount of serum worked through wet or dry hair leaves a lasting fragrance that receives many compliments. The serum also tames frizz and adds definition and is intended to protect the hair from damage when blow-drying or styling with heated tools.

Even though Jasmine Oil Serum contains only natural fragrance, it does contain a mix of silicones that some people who prefer natural products tend to avoid. The silicones can cause built up residue and block other hair treatments from reaching the hair effectively. The serum also contains sweet almond oil and vitamin E which nourish and protect hair. Those who prefer to use an all-natural product might like to try Jasmine Henna Fluff Eaze from LUSH Cosmetics, which is a pre-wash hair treatment.

I do not heat style my hair, but I love to use this serum to treat frizz, tame flyaways and keep hair manageable. I would recommend it to anyone with frizzy, dry, unmanageable or damaged hair. This product provides instant gratification as well as long term benefits. Oscar Blandi offers a line of other Jasmine hair products, including shampoo and conditioner, Jasmine Protein Mist, Jasmine Oil Shine Spray and Jasmine Smoothing Hair Treatment.

Sebastian Shaper Plus Makes Baby-Fine Hair All Grown Up

January 15, 2013 By Carleenp 1 Comment

For those of us with baby-fine hair, there aren't many products to get excited about. Most styling products, especially hairspray, weigh down fine hair and make it lay flat and limp with no signs of life. I have now found the exception, and my hair is bouncing with delight.

Sebastian Shaper Plus hairspray is perfect for fine hair. The formula is very light, so there is no heaviness or weight added to my hair. It increases body without being stiff or feeling sticky. The difference in the way my hair moves and feels after using this spray is incredible.

For me, the best feature of Sebastian Shaper Plus is the volume it gives me. Even after using a volumizing mousse and then drying my hair upside-down with a round brush, my hair still has no pizzazz. After spraying Sebastian Shaper Plus, my hair literally bounces. It is fuller, it has more body, and it is easier to style.

Without the spray, my hair slips out of ponytail holders or clips. No matter what type of curling iron I use, the curls just fall out within an hour. Sebastian Shaper Plus makes my hair feel fuller, and it is able to hold in clips and maintain curls. Styling is easier because the hair strands aren't just sliding out of the comb or clip.

There is no stickiness after spraying with Sebastian Shaper Plus. Even if the weather outside is heavy with humidity, my hair still feels soft to the touch, with none of the brittle stiffness I get with other sprays. After spraying, I can run my fingers through my hair with no snags or tangles. If I move my head from side to side, my hair swings freely without having large pieces stuck together like they are plastered.
Sebastian Shaper Plus washes out easily and does not build up in my hair or leave a sticky residue on combs, brushes and countertops.

Some products have such strong perfume or alcohol smells that they give me headaches. The scent of Sebastian Shaper Plus is light and clean-smelling. It is not overpowering and does not linger in the room after I have finished styling.
Sebastian Shaper Plus is truly a flexible-hold spray for volume and body. If you need a hairspray that has really strong hold, this is probably not for you. Sebastian offers a Re-Shaper spray that is a stronger hold but still maintains the softness and brushability of the Shaper Plus.
