How To: Romantic Curls curls, how to, waves | (3)
How to get romantic curls from Jill Guzzo of Butterfly Studio via StyleCaster! Step 1: Start by applying a mousse like TRESemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse or a volumizing product to add body. Blow dry and then comb through the hair so all the product is dispersed from root to end. Step 2: Take your 1-inch curling iron and wrap hair around the barrel in small sections (always better to work smaller because you can always loosen out a curl). Step 3: Spray all of the curls with a flexible hold hairspray, like L'Oreal Elnett Satin. Step 4: Once the curls ...

Privé Volume & Texture hair products, reviews | (0)
I have been testing out a few Privé products--Concept Vert Volumizing Froth and Extended Texture Clay--and it's my first experience with the Privé line. They are a very cool and eco-friendly company. The Volumizing Froth is a mousse, but in non-aerosol form, which is interesting, and you know I am hung up on volumizers right now, so of course I was way into it. I really liked the Concept Vert Volumizing Froth packaging because the non-aerosol bottle is easy to travel with. And you only need to use a little to give your hair body, volume, and shine. It's a little ...

Drugstore Must Have: Got2b Fat-Tastic hair products, reviews | (0)
To be honest, at first I was turned off by Got2b Fat-Tastic Thickening Plumping Mousse scent. It's not great... Kind of chemically and weird. And you know I love a good smelling product! But, of course, there are more important factors than scent when it comes to hair products, like how they actually perform. And this stuff is seriously great. I use it almost every time I blowout my hair, so I thought it was time to let you guys in on my cheapie secret! Got2b Fat-Tastic can be found at any drugstore, which is super convenient, and it's relatively inexpensive--around ...

Oscar Blandi Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray hair products, reviews | (0)
Dry shampoo is much discussed topic here on Hair On The Brain... I've tried many dry shampoos and one of my very favorites for years now is Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo. It's awesome stuff. I have also tried the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray, but I did not love the spray formula because the can weirdly ran out on me after like two uses. Maybe I got a faulty can? But it happened to me twice... But the lovelies over at Lock & Mane sent me a sample of the new Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray, ...

Jonathan Product Infinite Volume celebrity hairstylist, hair products, reality TV, reviews | (0)
I love Jonathan Antin. He's one of my all-time favorite reality show characters, and he was brilliant on this season of Shear Genius! I also consistently love his line of hair products. I use regularly and love his Prep Spray and my fiance uses his Green Rootine Pure Paste. Jonathan Product recently launched a new Infinite Volume collection that includes a shampoo, conditioner, and thickening foam. They contain something called "expansion nanotechnology", according to the info it's: an interpenetrating polymer network delivery system that utilizes chemical and electromagnetic forces to expand and strengthen the hair shaft creating volume from the inside ...

Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray hair products, reviews | (0)
I am a big proponent of Phyto Phytophanere Dietary Supplement For Hair & Nails. It's a great product for growing hair and nails thicker and longer. That said, I've had only moderate success with Phyto's hair products. Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray kind of freaked me out because it smells so harsh and contains alcohol denat as the first ingredient. However, I found it pretty decent. It does its job as a volumizer, but might not be a product you use daily, since alcohol denat can dry out your hair. On the upside, it's formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes and ...
