Aveeno Alert

Many have secretly been using Aveeno lotions as a kind of spot-hair-conditioner, even just secretly running the excess from a hand application over their tresses. Now, your hair can have its own Aveeno hair care products. And, to celebrate the introduction of the AVEENO^® NOURISH+ Hair Care Collection, the AVEENO^® Brand will take over three salons across the country on Wednesday, May 27^th and offer women the chance to rewrite their hair’s story and give it new life, in just three washes. Beginning at 10:00 AM, women in the three cities will receive a free hair wash with AVEENO^®

For Him, For Her, For Her

Interesting thing about this line. It is marketed to guys but many women love the products for themselves. And why not? AXE Just Clean Shampoo, for instance, provides a fresh scent and invigorating feel you will notice. This lively wake-up scent is loved by men and women alike. And your hair will feel soft and manageable. he 12 oz plastic bottle fits easily in the hand and it is easy to open. This scent is wonderful and now there are 4 more new scents marketed to men but coveted by women--for a total of more than a dozen different fragrances.

Axe Shock—deep sea mint and menthol shocks you awake
Fever—Brazilian Hot Mud and Dragon Fruit--refreshing and the body spray has Brazilian Orange essence
Recovery—who wouldn’t want this to slough off the night before and start the day fresh?
Snake Peel—shower scrub with desert minerals and cactus oils to exfoliate and renew.

And the price cannot be beat-- $3.99 for a 12 fl oz bottle of the body washes and $4.99 for the body sprays.

Tra-La, It's May!

Sometimes Lusty, Sometimes Lovely, but always a harbinger of change. Make the change delightful by trying a new fragrance—perhaps- The Limited Edition Jo Malone Kohdo Wood Collection—Lotus Blossom & Water Lily, Dark Amber & Ginger Lily new this month.

The Kodho Wood Collection is a modern interpretation of Kohdo , the ancient Japanese art incense appreciation and the scents are like fragrant dreams. Sincere, fanciful, genuine, imagined. All lovely and perfect for this time of year.

Also for Spring—The Nectarine Blossom& Honey Collection and the Verbenas of France Collection-- hints of delicate vervaine citronalle, spice and a filigree a flowers.

The Nectarine Blossom & Honey fragrance has an interesting background. The original version started more than twenty years ago as a sweet peach fragrance that was specially mixed for Jo Malone Mediterranean clients who loved the full-bodied fruity notes. Honey, straight from the jar, was hand-blended with the peach to both complement and add warmth. This hand-perfected fragrance lay like an unfinished painting for twenty years, until it was brought back to a new life. The result: a deliciously ambrosial scent in which the intensity of fresh, sweet fruits and dewy greens are perfectly balanced with the rich warmth of honey.

Wear any of these alone or combine with another Jo Malone fragrance. Each can be layered like, if not seven veils, then perhaps two or three. All adding up to a beautiful mystery.

The Grass is Riz, Tame the Frizz

Spring is in the air and if the recent furnace-blast of summer temperatures just experienced put a little too much spring in your hair—aka frizzies—then here comes Frizz-Ease by John Frieda, just in time. Here are a couple of new applications of Frizz-Ease—Straight—Heat Defeat, a protective styling spray, and Straight Fixation Smoothing Crème—that has a nice sound to it.

The spray bottle fits nicely in the hand and aims the product just where you need it. This Heat Defeat can be used to protect the hair before you blow dry and after. The creme helps your hair stay silky smooth and straight for up to 24 hours. Both the spray and the creme work well at taming hair that gets too stimulated by humidity.

As always, affordable hair care frizz tamers that really work—without weighing down your hair.
