Last month, I talked about my incredible new hair repair find and I was so pleased to see that Sephora also agreed to me.
Sephora is promoting a 2-day hair diet that’s based around my favourite hair care treatment line: Ojon!
This is a great promotion because they you’ll get the Ojon Tawaka duo cleanser and conditioner as a way to salvage your hair from the rough winter.
There is actually a good reason behind that catchy advertisement line. All Garnier Nutritioniste products focus on the nutritional and dermatological benefits of food extracts, vitamins, essential fatty acids, antioxidants and minerals. These are ingredients that have been clinically proven to have tremendous benefits for your skin.
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.
A recent issue of the National Geographic reports there are less than two per cent of naturally redheads on the planet and it’s very possible that by 2060 redheads might be extinct.
Natural redhead celebrities like Angie Everhart (first natural redheaded supermodel), Julianne Moore, Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), David Caruso (CSI: Miami) and Nicole Kidman are definitely part of a very small group.
*** Embrace the NEW year ***
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.
Are you getting your hair coloured the same week you’re getting chemical peel treatment?
You might think that you lucked out in getting both appointments in the same week, but once you read this post you’ll be speed-dialling someone on your beauty glam team to switch your appointments around.
Cosmetic dermatologists and plastic surgeons recommend that skin care rejuvenation treatments like microdermabrasions and chemical peels (basically, anything that will affect the upper layers of skin) should not be performed within five to ten days of any hair colouring treatment, perms, relaxers or soft curls (for darker-skin beauties).
***Best Beauty Gifts***
Skincare (check), anti-aging serums or creams (check), makeup (check) … Sephora’s lists of best-sellers have certainly answered the age old question: “where do I start”. Now you might want to tackle your hair. Maybe you are looking for products that will help you have the most fabulous mane or you might simply looking for a great little gift for someone special. Just like with skin care products, hair care products are a series of trials and errors. But when you have a starting point …
Have you ever wanted to create your own line of hair care products? Well that’s exactly what happened to three lucky ladies.
The Toni&Guy salons in the U.K. partnered up with Erin O’Connor (British model), Helena Christensen (Danish model) and Jamelia (U.K. R & B Singer) to create ‘Model.Me’. Each woman was very closely involved in all steps of the formulation of their products.
Erin O’Connor is well known for her signature straight edgy cut and her product line is ideal for this type of hair.

This is a continuation of the great tips I shared with you yesterday. If you’ve missed it, you can still read: Skin care and makeup tips from top French beauty panel.
* Don’t try to hold on to the hair colour you had in your teens and 20s.
* If you are Caucasian and have darker hair, keep the intensity at the roots and keep the ends and the hair surrounding your face a bit lighter.

They use Leonor Greyl’s haircare treatments!
Behind this high-end French hair treatment line you’ll find the expertise of more than 35 years in haircare treatment using only natural products. Leonor Greyl’s vision was simple: allow women to have healthy and glamorous hair.
Did you know that normally, hair loss happens essentially in fall? This is the ideal time of the year to start a restorative treatment in order to ensure that your hair will grow stronger during the winter months.
*** Beauty Match in Paris ***
If you’ve never set foot in Italy, this might be a question that might warrant some serious consideration. But, one trip to any Italian city will quickly answer that question. Many Italian women simply decide to keep their hair very long at whatever age they are. I’m not talking about hair that touches the shoulders here, but rather hair that falls to the middle of the back. Some Italian women sport their long mane sparkled with specs of grey, while many others obviously have their favourite colourist on speed dial.

It seems that just like their skin care, so many French women are simply taking a more proactive approach to their hair care as they age. Many Parisians have been turning to Rosy and Maria Carita for decades now. The sister-duo has been dubbed the “entrepreneurs of metamorphosis”. In France it’s a well known fact that Rosy and Maria are the visionaries behind many of the sixties’ hottest European stars. Catherine Deneuve’s blond mane, Brigitte Bardot’s sexy ponytail and Sophia Loren’s hairdo can all be attributed to the Caritas’ knack for seductive transformations.
*** Beauty Match in London (U.K.)***
It’s been reported that Mrs. Michael Douglas (aka Catherine Zeta-Jones) flies in beluga caviar from Iran to London for a hair treatment that is assured to keep her locks camera ready. For about $450 per treatment, you too can have camera-ready hair! It just might seem that Catherine has a whole lot of disposable income, but it’s actually much more than that. Perhaps, $450 for a hair treatment might not be part of the immediate hair care budget, but adding Omega 3 fatty acid to your weekly hair treatment might be one of the best things you can do for your hair. The Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish eggs is known to boost the collagen production and keratin that are so essential for healthy and shiny locks.
Well, almost.
As you know, super model and Celebrity Beauty Match Pick, Christy Turlington is co-owner (along with Ayla Hussain and Cavan Mahony) of an Ayurvedic skincare line called Sundãri. They carry a full line of best selling skincare and body treatments. Their Neem and Coconut Hair Treatment Oil is worth mentioning because it just might be an amazing post-summer treatment for heat and sun damaged hair.
To restore some vitality to your hair, simply do a 30-minute weekend treatment and by Monday morning your colleagues will be ooooing and aaaahing at your hair. Neem and coconut oil aren’t the only magical ingredients in this product: apricot kernel oil, rose, palmarosa and gotu kola are additional ingredients that will help give your hair that much needed post-summer boost.
It’s really no secret that I’m a huge believer in Ojon™ hair care products. I’m a diehard fan of their Restorative Hair Treatment, so I was quite excited to find out about their leave-in conditioner. If you have coarse, dry, chemically treated hair or colour treated hair, a leave-in can really re-hydrate and help boost the strength of your hair. That said, a lot of leave-in conditioners leave your hair weighed down and devoid of bounce. Ojon Revitalizing Mist alcohol-free “shake to activate” formula re-hydrates, restructures and smoothes away tangles with one simple movement and it won’t weight down your mane. This mist will not only revitalize your hair, it will reduce breakage, reduce frizz, help hold the colour longer and help your styling products to adhere more easily.
Sun and heat can seriously damage your hair. Exposure to the sun can leave hair feeling dry and brittle. The best way to protect your hair from the harmful rays of the sun is to wear a hat. But when a hat is just not part of the fashion statement you want to make, then it’s time to consider the Ojon® Restorative Hair Treatment. The story behind the discovery of this product is most fascinating.
