Get Healthy Summer Hair Thanks To Carol's Daughter's Monoi Hair Care Collection

Just in time for what is sure to be a summer full of sun-damaged, frizzy, unhealthy tresses Carol's Daughter has introduced a new line of products made from Monoi oil. And for those of you who don't know Monoi oil is described as "a 2,000 year-old sacred, tahitian ingredient that undoes and prevents damage for fewer breaks, snaps and splits." And even better the oil is suitable for all hair types. The collection will feature a repairing shampoo, repairing conditioner, and repairing hair mask.

Check out a video of Carol's Daughter founder Lisa Price speaking on the benefits of the Monoi Hair Care Collection.

Atlanta's Salon Soy To Celebrate Their Second Anniversary

Atlanta based hair salon Salon Soy will be celebrating their two-year anniversary later this month and are inviting customers, both new and old, to the celebration. Salon Soy specializes in the up keep of healthy hair, something more and more salons are striving for these days.

"We really work hard to educate our clients about their hair. Most of them don't know what the real texture of their hair looks or feels like and that after years of relaxers, the integrity of the hair is broken due to the original molecules being stripped,” said owner Soyini Thwaites in a statement. “Then we have to rebuild by trying to add proteins afterwards, when in fact, we can start off with strong healthy hair because that’s the way it grows out of the scalp in the first place.”

The two-year anniversary celebration will take place on Saturday, August 21 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Salon Soy. The festivities will include lots of hair talk (of course), cocktails, food, and more. Salon Soy is located at 1519 Pryor Road SW in Atlanta.

Earthly Body's "Love" Hair Care Line (Review)

The Love hair care line from Earthly Body consists of a number of natural ingredients that will have any "hair-nista" raving. The entire line consists of products that contain hemp seed oil and Argan oil (a.k.a "The Good Stuff"). I recently had the opportunity to review three products from the line: the Soaking Wet shampoo, Dew conditioner, and hair elixir. Check out my review of each product below.

Soaking Wet Shampoo - I have yet to find a shampoo that I'm actually head over heels for and the Soaking Wet shampoo will definitely be added to the category of "average shampoos." When I was done rinsing the shampoo out it didn't leave my hair feeling extra dry like some shampoo's do, but that was really the only plus. I also found that the shampoo was somewhat watery. (8 oz. bottle, $13.99)

Dew Conditioner - Unlike the Soaking Wet shampoo I actually saw some results with the Dew Conditioner. Although I do wish the conditioner was a little thicker I thought it was slick enough for combing and detangling. Once the conditioner was rinsed out (I never thoroughly rinse conditioner out of my hair) it felt very soft and manageable. The only reason I might hesitate to buy this conditioner is because you don't get a whole lot of product for your money. I pretty much used half the bottle for just one wash. (8 oz. bottle, $15.99)

Hair Elixir - If I could sum up the review for the hair elixir in one word it would definitely be "wow." I know that sounds extra corny, but this product is really amazing. When I initially used the hair elixir it was shortly after washing it. I added my Garnier Sleek & Shine leave-in conditioner then I put in the elixir. First off, I'm in love with the smell. I'm horrible at describing smells, but it kind of has a Brazilian nut type of smell to it. The hair elixir is a combination of oils so of course it has an oily texture to it. When I initially put the elixir in my hair it gave it a nice sheen, nothing too overwhelming and it also added some moisture which is always a plus. The hair elixir works well on both wet and dry hair. (2 oz. bottle, $22.99)

Overall, I was impressed with the Love hair care line. I really found that my hair felt softer after using all of the products. I can do without the shampoo, but I would definitely suggest the Dew conditioner and hair elixir.

The review above is based on samples I received.

Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk Line Review (Video)

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to try out Carol's Daughter's new line of Hair Milk products. The line consists of a shampoo, conditioner, and Hair Milk lite. Like the original Hair Milk product the Hair Milk line is primarily for women with natural, curly hair. The line is supposed to help in creating soft, manageable, and frizz-free curls. Check out my video review of the entire Hair Milk line below.

P.S. This is my first video review so take it easy on me! Also, the picture above was taken a day after using the Hair Milk line.



The new Hair Milk line is currently available for order on the Carol's Daughter site (products will ship by July 1).

Carol's Daughter Introduces New Hair Milk Products

Curly-haired chics unite! Carol's Daughter has just announced a new line of Hair Milk products. The new line is expected to help define curls and beat humidity even in the sweltering summertime heat. New products will include:

Hair Milk CURL PERFECTING Shampoo, $16

Hair Milk CURL PERFECTING Conditioner, $19

Hair Milk Lite The Curl Booster, $9-$20

I've actually used Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk on various occasions and I'm definitely a fan. It's very moisturizing and gives your curls a nice sheen without weighing it down. I'm also really big on scents so much so that if a hair product works wonders, but has a very unappealing scent I won't buy it. Thankfully though, Hair Milk has an amazing, lemony scent to it. I'm sure the new line of Hair Milk products will have a similar scent.
