If you missed that post you can read it here: The Argan Oil from Morocco is changing skincare!

Argan oil is also one of the reasons why the new Moroccanoil is so popular with hair stylists and women who use it in their hair.

I’ve been seeing the blue labelled bottle for a while my hairdresser, who asked me a few months ago if I had tried it yet. I told her about how back logged I was when it came to new products to test and she told me that I needed to drop everything and try this new oil because she’s been using it on ALL of her clients … regardless of their hair.

>>> You can purchase the Moroccanoil at a great price here:

Moroccanoil MoroccanOil

In fact, I’ve seen my hairdresser apply the oil to Caucasians, mixed raced beauties, women who have a more afro texture to their hair all the way to women who have full afro hair.

One word of caution, if you have very thin and limp hair … you might want to use very little since it’s hard to get away from products that weight down your hair.

After one of my relaxers (for those who don’t know what it is … it’s when you go to your hairdresser so she can apply a chemical relaxer to break the natural curl of your hair), my hairdresser applied the Moroccanoil mask (I’ll be reviewing this product soon) and then she finished my hair style with the Moroccanoil. Once she was done she kept asking me to touch my hair to feel how soft it was. I did agree that my hair was quite soft, but then again it’s always soft when I leave her salon … it’s when I have to deal with my hair on my own that I can actually evaluate the effectiveness of a product.

My hairdresser gave me a sample of the Moroccanoil and I tried it because one morning during the middle of our brutal winter my hair was so dry it felt brittle. It really didn’t take much time to feel and see the difference.

My ends were instantly smooth and easy to comb through. And when I looked at myself in the mirror my ends didn’t look like a fur ball … they looked smooth.

Since that day, I’ve been using Moroccan oil on my ends to manage my hair. I know when my hair is very dry, because the product is immediately absorbed by my hair and I have no residue on my hands.

I’ve tried oils before in my hair and usually shy away from them because my hair during the day because they often feel heavy/greasy and some have such strong odours I don’t want to deal with that unless I’m doing a weekend hair treatment and I don’t have to be around people.

The Moroccanoil never feels greasy and it has a soft lovely smell that dissipates fairly quickly after applying it to the hair.

It’s true the Moroccanoil is not inexpensive because it sells for $39 USD/ $45 CAD (for the larger bottle) and $25 USD/ $35 CAD for the smaller bottle. That said, with all my big-and-wild-child hair, I manage to use a small quantity, I’d safely say that your bottle will last you the entire year … if not more.

Did I like this product? Yes, I did like it quite a lot.

Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat! I cannot see my hair care regime being complete with Morrocanoil!

>>>> Krizia’s review of ColorMark

When I was younger, I remember the women in my family trying to hide grey hairs in between colours with a dark stick. I don’t remember the name of the product, but I do remember playing with the stick and applying it on my face as it if was makeup.

The problem with a colouring stick is that it might not always look very natural. The same goes for the use of mascara to hide greys in between colours. Mascara might be an easy and inexpensive solution if you have dark brown or black hair, but it will leave your hair stiff, dry and dull looking.

If you are colouring your hair as a fashion or style statement, then you might not feel the urgent need to go running to your colour technician when you start noticing hair growth. On the other hand, if you are colouring your hair to hide grey hair, then you are certainly not keen on walking around with your roots exposed.

If you are looking for an in-between option that works well and that looks and feels totally natural, you’ll be happy to know that a number of editors on my staff have tried ColorMark and we all loved the product.

ColorMark is a temporary liquid hair dye that totally covers greys (it really does) until you wash your hair. Not only does it look natural, but when you touch your hair, it doesn’t feel stiff at all and the product doesn’t rub off on your hands. The best part is that you’re almost guaranteed to find the perfect colour because ColorMark comes in 12 shades including rich black, dark brown, medium brown, light brown, ash blonde, light ash blonde, golden blonde, light golden blonde, strawberry blonde, light auburn, dark auburn and really red.

Although it’s quite a simple process to use the brush applicator, it does take a few tries to actually learn how to properly use the little comb that comes with the product.

If you tend to sweat a lot from the head, then the product might not last until you wash it out. Also, if you tend to wear hats and tend to sweat a lot under your hat, you might want to be a bit more cautious as the product might not hold very well and it might run. If you don’t wear hats and if you don’t sweat heavily, then you’ll be fine.

ColorMark doesn’t contain any ammonia or peroxide and it’s very gentle on hair and scalp. In fact, it’s gentle enough for use by pregnant women (that said, you should double check with your doctor to be on the safe side).

Did I see any results? No one will know that you’ve applied ColorMark to hide your grey … I can assure you of that

Would I buy it? I wouldn’t dream of being without this product. There is no way I would travel without packing my ColorMark!

Would I replace my current colour? It’s really not replacing anything I had … I’m adding a whole new way of hiding greys.

OVERALL REVIEW:

4-star16

>>>> Review submitted by product reviewer Eleni

Have you ever put yourself together exceptionally well – pretty makeup, healthy skin, hair, Spanx, killer outfit and felt that you looked pretty good…until giving one last toss of the hair in the mirror only to discover VERY noticeable grey roots? I know I have. Those greys were not there earlier in the day, I swear!!! – How does that happen?

ColorMark to the rescue! This amazing little product has saved me a couple of times already – I think it’s fantastic. Picture a small bottle of true temporary liquid hair color for touching up gray roots with a sponge tip applicator and a small round comb. That and the mirror are all you need for a minute or so and you’re done.

It’s not a mascara or crayon that will make your hair crunchy and brittle. It’s real colour and I’ll bet it comes in your colour too. I tried Light Brown and it did a fantastic job on my medium-brown fading locks. My hair looked fresh and pretty until my next shampoo. ColorMark’s 12 shades are formulated to blend with the best-selling permanent hair colors, so finding your best shade should be no problem.

Testing ColorMark:

The comb acts as a skin shield when applying ColorMark around the hairline, especially the temple area. Just slide the comb under the hair, as close to the scalp as possible, then apply the product with the sponge tip applicator. That’s it – gorgeous!

Did I see any results? It doesn’t get brittle or “crunchy” and washes out easily upon your next shampoo. This means that you need to watch out if it’s raining outside – use an umbrella or wear a hat because the colour can run.

Would I buy it? YES

Would I replace my current colour? I’ve added this to my home colour products just to keep my hair looking fine until the next color session.

If there is a new hair treatment out there, I’ll be sure to try it because I’m a big believer in hair treatments … especially in the dead of winter.

redken_smoothdown_buttertreat

I just caught wind of a new product launch from Redken and of course, I just had to try it!   I’ve tried a number of times the Redken Real Control Overnight Treat treatment that is part of Redken’s “Real Control” line formulated to nourish, restore and reclaim control of dense, dry, sensitized hair.

The concept of the overnight treatment is brilliant!

I basically apply a generous amount of the Redken Real Control Overnight Treat treatment to my hair, I let it air dry and then wrap my hair with a silk scarf and head to bed. The next morning, I simply need to rinse off the product, shampoo, condition and style my hair.

What I have noticed is how soft and shiny my hair is after using the Redken Real Control Overnight Treat treatment. I also noticed that the treatment doesn’t weight down my hair at all … which is a good thing because no one wants to walk around with weighed-down hair that’s not bouncy.

In a sense it’s quite logical because the treatment stays in my hair as long as I sleep … so it really has a lot of time to penetrate deeply into my hair.

I think this product is not only ideal for your weekly home treatments, but this is a great product to take with you if you are heading to the beach because you are able to deep-condition your hair at night after having spent time in the sun.

redken_redken_real_control_overnight_treat_treatment

* Real Control Shampoo

* Real Control Conditioner

* Intense Renewal Super Moisturizing Mask

* Crema Care Daily Nourishing Styling Treatment

* Thermal Resist Inner Hair Repair

Did I see any results?

After washing my hair, I could tell immediately that it was much softer and my hair was very easy to untangle.

Would I buy it? Yes, I would certainly buy Redken Real Control Overnight Treat treatment.

Would I replace my current hair treatment product? No – it would become part of the mix. Right now I use the Ojon Restorative Treatment as a scalp and hair treatment and it’s done wonders for my hair, but since it’s a more involving treatment, I find that on days when I don’t have time for a big products, I can reach out for the Redken Real Control Overnight Treat treatment, go to bed and wake up with treated and hydrated hair. I also intend on taking this product with me when I’m on vacation because it’s easy to carry and it won’t create a mess.

OVERALL REVIEW:

4-star16

Eleni and Daphne reviewed the Clairol Perfect 10 hair colour because since I already have a chemical relaxed in my hair, permanent hair colour is a huge no-no for me. That said, according to the beauty reviewers, they think Clairol Perfect 10 by Nice’n Easy is the best hair colour on the face of the planet earth because it only takes 10 minutes.

Not long ago as we were all heading to a women’s show we were discussing why they liked the product so much and we were also highlighting the fact that busy moms who are time-starved must find this hair colour so practical to use.

You can read Eleni’s and Daphne’s review below:

1) Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

It is such a treat to try out a new product that actually delivers exactly what it says it will. YES – REALLY!!! I had perfectly glossy hair with full grey coverage at home in under 15 minutes.

Testing Clairol Perfect 10 Nice’n Easy Hair Colour:

The contents of the box are comparable to most home hair colour kits, but that’s where any similarity ends. The kit includes gloves, one tube of high gloss colour, a bottle of activating cream, a tube of ColorSeal Intensive Conditioning Créme conditioner, a special comb applicator and instructions.

The application process was simple and straightforward:

1) Combine the colour with the activating cream in the point tip bottle, shake and then apply from root to tip, completely saturating the hair using the no-drip comb applicator on virgin hair or just roots on previously coloured hair.

2) Allow the colour to sit on the hair for a full 10 minutes (or up to 15 minutes for stubborn gray like I have), then wet the hair, lather and rinse.

3) Apply the ColorSeal Intensive Conditioning Créme, allowing it to absorb for 2 minutes. Rinse well and style your hair as usual. The ColorSeal Intensive Conditioning Créme is to be used once a week for six weeks.

The shine was lovely and the fragrance pleasant. My hair stylist Anthony has been seeing me only for haircuts recently because I really love the results I get from this product and don’t need salon colour anymore.

Did I see any results? My hair was perfectly shiny and smooth. Even now – going on two weeks and my hair still has that freshly-coloured look and feel. I was even asked by a couple of friends at work about what colour I use. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Medium Brown! The Perfect 10 shades are really rich and have an expensive-looking depth of colour that I have yet to experience with any other store bought brand.

Would I buy it? Yes, most certainly. For our Canadian readers, you can sometimes find discount coupons for this product at Coupons.ca.

Would I replace my current home colouring product? Yes – this is now my regular brand. I love the fact that I can quickly use it while having my morning coffee and getting ready for work!

2) Review submitted by our product reviewer Daphne

Ever since my favorite hair colour product was discontinued two years ago, I have been wandering the drug store aisles in search of a worthy replacement.  No matter what I tried … home colouring kits or salon colourists … the search continued.

I happened to try Clairol Perfect 10 late in September and I was impressed with the results.  My friend Sue even accused me of finding a secret stash of our discontinued brand.  When asked to review Perfect 10 for Beauty Match, I couldn’t wait to see if brunette lightning could strike again … and it did, perfectly!

Testing Clairol Perfect 10 Medium Brown #5

I mixed the high gloss colour crème with the colour activating crème.  The mixture was applied to my unwashed hair starting at the roots and working through the ends.  I love that the kit has two applicators: one is the standard tip for roots and the other is a comb-like applicator (I prefer to use the comb applicator). The product felt very creamy and didn’t drip.  Clairol Perfect 10 also has a very nice scent that I didn’t find irritating at all.

After 10 minutes, I rinsed my hair until the water was clear and applied a quarter-sized amount of the ColorSeal Intensive Conditioning Crème through my hair.  I left this on for two minutes and then rinsed it out.

Did I see any results?

Rich brown tones, great shine, and total coverage of grey.  The ColourSeal Intensive Conditioning Crème really made my hair feel soft with lots of body and no processed feel.

Would I buy it? YES!!!

Would I replace my current hair colour? YES!!!

OVERALL REVIEW:

5-star5

The Clairol Perfect 10 retails for less than $15 in Canada and less than $14 in the US and it’s available in 14 different shades! Since this is a product distributed by Procter and Gamble (P & G) it’s almost a guarantee that international readers will find it in their city.

pantene expressions shampoo and conditioner

1) Review submitted by our product reviewer Daphne

When it comes to my hair, I’m always on the lookout for more shine and body.  I have my favorite tried and true products, but I’m always ready to try something new.

One of the biggest challenges is keeping my hair from looking flat and dull before my roots demand a colour job … needless to say I was all over this assignment.

Testing Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Shampoo:

My hair tends to be oily, so I used the shampoo daily. One lather and rinse was all that I needed.  The shampoo looks and feels like silky chocolate ribbons, it smells nice and the lather is thick.

Did I see any results? My hair felt and looked clean and shiny.

Would I buy it? Yes!

Would I replace my current shampoo? No, I would alternate with my current fave.

OVERALL REVIEW:

Testing Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Conditioner:

After shampooing, I applied small amount of conditioner and worked it throughout my hair from the ends and working upward as recommended on the instructions. I left it on for a couple of minutes and rinsed it out.  I felt like it took more time to feel that my hair was rinsed out than when I use my usual conditioner.  I tried using different amounts of conditioner during the testing period with the same results each time.

Did I see any results? My hair was soft and shiny but felt a little limp.

Would I buy it? No

Would I replace my current conditioner? No

2) Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

My sister and I were both delighted with Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control shampoo and conditioner this past summer because those products along with the hair serum and styling really helped our limp locks on humid days.

You can read our review here: We tried Pro-V Restoratives and said bye-bye FRIZZ!

Given the opportunity to check out Pro-V Brunette Expressions shampoo and conditioner, I jumped at the chance because I hoped it would be another collection of good, usable products and I was not disappointed.

Testing Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Shampoo and Conditioner:

My hair tends to be oily, so I shampooed with the Pro-V Brunette Expressions shampoo daily. It lathers up nicely so you only need one lather and rinses out very clean. Both the shampoo and conditioner do not deposit hair colour onto the hair shaft, they just improve the shine and appearance beautifully. Both are gentle enough for daily use.

Did I see any results? The claim is that it “helps restore a healthy-looking, luminous shine to brunette hair” and I got exactly that from both the shampoo and conditioner. The liquid crystals in the formula really perked up the depth of colour and brought out the shine. I liked this effect very much.

Would I buy it? Yes. I like to change my shampoo and conditioner every so often, so I would use this whenever my hair colour was looking dull and in need of some extra colour care.

Would I replace my current shampoo? I like to rotate my hair care products, so I would definitely put these products into the current rotation with some drugstore items as well as a couple of select salon brands.

fhi_platform_flat_iron

I decided this year that I would not be walking about with frizzy hair and set myself to find a good flat iron.

Since I knew little about flat irons, I asked my hairdresser for some advice. I told her that I was considering a Chi flat iron, but she told me that the best option would be to consider a FHI flat iron instead because of a number of reasons.

My hairdresser explained that the plates on the FHI flat iron had a longer lifespan and the coating would not rub off on my hair in the long run.

She also explained most professional hairstylists also use the FHI flat irons because they give the hair an incredible finish and shine.

I was quite pleased with the feedback my hairdresser provided, but I was less than pleased when she dropped the price bomb on me. I would be looking at forking out $180-$220 for a FHI Platform Professional 1 Inch Flat Iron with Nano Technology (for home use). As if she had read my mind, my hairdresser confirmed that the prices would not be much cheaper if I crossed to border to the U.S. to get the flat iron.

I decided to head to my trusty PC to see what might come up. I landed on Misikko.com. Once I read the testimonials from other satisfied clients who had purchased the FHI flat iron, I was feeling pretty confident about my decision.

What caught my attention the most about this flat iron was not so much the features, but the fact that is was highly effective at dealing with dry, coarse, and damaged hair because the negative ions help neutralize the positive ions found on damaged hair, allowing the hair to lay flatter and smoother.

There are really a lot of advantages at choosing a FHI flat iron. The FHI flat iron uses large ceramic heaters, tourmaline and ion-boosting minerals for salon quality results. The technical description can be quite a bore, but I did find this sentence here to be particularly important: “Ceramic Plates (3 Baked Layers) – maximum infrared heat that penetrates the hair shaft and straightens the hair from the inside. This is a less damaging type of heat compared to infrared heat. Seals in Natural moisture and eliminates frizz. The moisturizing elements of Titanium Oxide and Silver will leave your hair healthier, shiner, and more vibrant”.

I mean the reason why most of us use a flat iron on our hair is to have hair that looks healthy and bouncy, not fried and damaged … so it makes perfect sense to buy a flat iron that won’t severely damage your hair in the long run.

In the end I did get my FHI Platform Professional 1 Inch Flat Iron with Nano Technology from Misikko.com because their price was among the lowest I found ($119.99 versus $195 or higher). I also like having access to a “real person” on the other end of the phone line. It’s really comforting to be able to ask questions and make sure that you are actually buying the right product for your needs.

Misikko.com not only sells FHI flat irons, but you’ll also find 17 or so other brands. You’ll also find hairdryers (they even have FHI hairdryers) and loads of other beauty and hair care products.

If you are looking to have humidity-resistant hair this summer, FHI flat iron will surely have the perfect hair tool for your needs!

During my conversations with Amoy, one thing was clear: weekly and regular deep conditioning treatments are the on only way to ensure that women with Afro hair maintain the health of their mane. It does matter if you have a chemical relaxer, braids, extensions or if you wear your hair natural … you need to treat your hair.

It’s important to remember that a lot of products on the market that call themselves “treatments” will actually clog your pores and simply coat the hair without treating it. You want to make sure you choose good quality products and that means you might have to spend a bit more.

Over the years, I’ve bought several thousand dollars worth of hair care products, and these ones seem to have been the most effective at restoring my hair.

Don’t think the list below is only for women with Afro hair. Women who have curly hair and those who have damage hair due to thermal excess (aka too much blow drying and flat ironing).

If you don’t know where to start, I think you’ll find this list to be useful:

1. Ojon Restorative Treatment: I absolutely L-O-V-E- this deep conditioning treatment that I started using after my hair had been severely damaged by an ex-hairdresser.

1. Ojon SWA 8-week treatment: This is an exceptional product to thinning, brittle hair. You will not believe how healthy your hair will feel in as little as 6 weeks.

1. Aveda Color Conserve: This is not as moisturizing as some of the other products on the list, but if you have coloured hair, this might be a good treatment to use during the two weeks that follow your colour to extend its vibrancy.

1. Nexxus Keraphix: This restorative protein treatment is my secret weapon. I always use it the week before and the week that precedes my chemical relaxer in order to fortify the hair.

1. Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat: This product will leave your hair feeling like silk. It’s extremely moisturizing and makes untangling hair a quick process.

1. Aveda Damage Remedy: This product is very similar to the Redken Butter Treat. It’s been formulated especially to restore moisture to severely damaged hair and chemically damaged hair.

You might need to brace yourself here because I’m about to talk about Ojon hair care products. My love for these hair care products is well documented on Beauty Match and I just found another product worth writing about.

Ojon’s SWA^TM Liquid-Hair Building 4-step Ritual Kit is the answer to any one dealing with brittle, thinning and fine hair. SWA is an eight-week treatment that will help increase the strength of your hair and target hair density loss.

The 4-step process consists of 4 key products:

* SWA+ Stimulating Cleanser (your shampoo)

* SWA+ Nourishing Conditioner

* SWA+ Stimulating Juice Daily Leave-in Treatment

* SWA+ Concentrated Liquid Hair Boosting Serum (this is where the magic happens)

The key ingredient in this hair repair treatment is the SWA+ oil. This 98% natural oil that has been clinically proven to penetrate the hair shaft cortex is combined with Ojon oil (which restores the health of your hair), wheat peptides (they assist in product absorption and penetration), vitamins F and B and ginseng (to promote a healthy scalp and keratin (which contributes to a conditioning effect on thinning hair). As you can see, we’re talking about a vitamin rich blend of oils and products that will help thicken weak and thinning hair.

Another important fact about SWA+ oil is the fact that it’s extremely rich in amino acids and Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. Simply put, a deficiency in Omega 6 essential fatty acids can lead to brittle hair and hair loss.

Taking daily capsules of Omega oils is essential in helping your hair remain healthy and SWA+ is another way of injecting these important oils to your hair and scalp.

So did we try SWA+?

ojon_swa_1

The editors who did try SWA+ did say that after the eight-week treatment, they would switch to another product to give the hair and break, but would go back to SWA+ for another eight-week treatment. One of the Beauty Match editors suggested that women with thinning hair should consider doing a full year of boosting treatment by using SWA+ for two months, going off of it for one month and then going back to it and repeating the process for a full 12 months and that would really restore thinning hair to a healthier state.

The truth is that as we age, we will have thinning hair … if it’s not because of genetics, it’s often because of daily thermal damage (damage caused by daily blow dry and flat irons).

SWA+ is definitely a treatment consider to boost your thinning hair back to life.

American readers can buy SWA+ products on QVC, Sephora shops and sephora.com. Canadian readers can also purchase it at Sephora shops, <a href=”http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=AEok7N1AOIg&offerid=32532.10000391&type=3&subid=0″ target=”_blank” >Sephora.com</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src=”http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=AEok7N1AOIg&bids=32532.10000391&type=3&subid=0″> and The Shopping Channel.

The eight-week treatment retails for $129 USD/$135 CND.

If I could move into the Ojon manufacturing plan and set shop there, I would.

I really love their products and the best part is that their products give a LOT of love to my hair. In other words, when I use Ojon products, I really see and feel the difference on my hair.

I’ve lately discovered another one of my favourite Ojon hair care duos. After trying the Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner and Cleanser duo for the first time during one of my weekly treatments, I could barely believe how incredibly soft my hair was. In fact, I spent half the day stocking my hair because I couldn’t remember anything that left my hair feeling that soft, that healthy and that strong.
The Ojon Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner and Cleansers are made of a rich antioxidant-rich blend of products that are 99 per cent natural help protect aging skin (you can use both the cleanser and conditioner on your face and body) and hair against free-radical damage. Like all Ojon products, the Ojon Tawaka Rejuvenating duo contains pure Ojon® oil, but they also contain the intensively moisturizing and potent antioxidant-rich properties of rare wildcrafted Tawaka skincare blend.

I’ve heard from other users of the Ojon Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner (the savage cacao in this bottle contains the antioxidant equivalent of 187 lbs of blueberries!) that long-term use of the product actually significantly reduced breakage. From my own personal experience, I can tell you that when I comb my hair before or after a conditioning treatment, I no longer have a lot of hair in my comb or brush.

A great tidbit about the Ojon Tawaka Rejuvenating Cleanser (the savage cacao in this bottle contains the antioxidant equivalent of 125 lbs of blueberries!) is the fact that you can not only use the product to wash your hair, but you can also use it on your face to cleanse off makeup at the end of the day. Now, I’ve seen it done by Denis Simioni’s mom on shopping channels, but I had to try it out for myself because I was 100 per cent certain that my face would end feeling like sand paper. Well, Ojon’s founder is true to his word when he says that the product is not only effective, it’s also very gentle.

I know you might be tired of my repeating how much I love Ojon, products, but I can assure you this is only the beginning because I just found out they are coming out with two new products that I’ll just HAVE to try!

A year and-a-half ago, I was finishing a long day of work and decided to do some channel surfing before heading to bed.

I often land on The Shopping Channel (TSC) because truth be told I LOVE watching that channel. I love seeing the numbers go up as people get on the phone to order the featured products. Well, at 1:30 am on a Sunday morning, I was the one frantically trying to get my order in for the “show stopper”. After watching Denis Simioni and his wife explain the amazing benefits of Ojon®’s Restorative Hair Treatment, I NEEDED to get my hands on this product.

You see, my hair hand suffered in the hands of a former hairdresser and I had purchased pretty much every product I could get my hands on to restore my hair to its former glorious state.

During the botched chemical treatments, I ended up loosing about 9 inches of hair length and suffering from scalp damage that left my temple area bald. Yes, I was in desperate need of some help.
I’m just like every other girl out there … my hair means a lot to me (this doesn’t change as you age).

Being a black (Latina) beauty, long hair is even more important because it’s so much harder to achieve because of the fact that the chemical treatment used to straighten the hair causes the hair to be dry, brittle and very fragile. Growing your hair to the middle of your back and having it all of a sudden barely touch your shoulders is traumatic when it’s not a decision you made.

I’ll be honest, I hesitated a lot before whipping out my credit card because the Ojon Restorative Treatment alone was a whopping $70 for the large jar, but when I calculated how much I had spent on products that didn’t do the job, I figured I had nothing to loose at this point.

Once I received my Ojon® Restorative Treatment and tried it for the first time, I quickly realized that Denis Simmoni was not selling based on hype. After my very first treatment with Ojon® I could see an obvious difference because my hair didn’t feel dehydrated and it had way more body (which I had lost).

By the time I went to see my new hairdresser one month after starting my Ojon® treatmens, she could barely believe how much better my hair was looking and wanted to know what I was using.

Why did Ojon repair my hair?

Ojon® Restorative Hair Treatment is a unique, highly concentrated hair rejuvenator and scalp nutrient made with 100% pure Ojon® oil. The product contains no chemicals or fillers. Ojon® will repair and seal the cuticle of your hair because the treatment traps the nutrient oil within each strand of hair without weighing it down.

Ojon does have a strong smell which is inherent to its composition. My good friend Fionna didn’t like the smell at all and when I presented the product to another friend of mine in Paris last summer she had the same reaction. I told both friends to ignore the smell because the results are so incredible that it’s well worth it. Also, because Ojon doesn’t contain artificial perfumes … it’s not the type of smell you commonly find in most other hair care products on the market.

The treatment calls for 20 minutes weekly. Since I have a lot of hair and my hair had been severely damaged, I usually use Ojon for an entire day.

Because I know how incredible this product really is after a year-and-a-half of weekly treatments, I’ve been telling everyone who will listen that when it comes to restoring damaged hair (and severely damaged hair)… everything starts and ends with Ojon® Restorative Hair Treatment (period)!

Here’s another thing to keep in mind, this product works for every type of hair and every ethnicity!

Protect and rebuild damaged hair

Ojon® Restorative Hair Treatment is a unique, highly concentrated hair rejuvenator and scalp nutrient made with 100% pure Ojon® oil. The product is very effective at restoring and fortifying dry, damaged, colour-treated and chemically-processed hair from the first treatment.

Ojon® will repair and seal the cuticle of your hair because the treatment traps the nutrient oil within each strand of hair without weighing your hair down.

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that as we age, our hair tends to be thinner, weaker and more susceptible to damage than when we were in our teens and twenties.

Heat damage from blow-dryers, flat or curling irons, environmental damage, mechanical damage (using combs and brushes daily), perms, relaxers and permanent hair colour will in the long run contribute to weakening the hair. The best way to reverse these damages is to treat the hair weekly.

The Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment retails for $62-$70 for the 5 oz. jar (a little over 141 grams) and $54 for the 3.3 oz (over 93 grams) jar. The treatment can be found at any Sephora Canada store. You can also find the treatment online via
