Splurge Vs. Steal...

Moroccan Oil  VS.  One 'n Only Argan Oil

As a professional hairstylist I use Moroccan Oil on a daily basis with my clients and believe in the entire product line.  There has yet to be a product from Moroccan Oil that has failed to meet my high expectations.  And I hear they are in the works of making a bath and body line as well.  ( I've been waiting for this!)  Only downside is they are a little more pricey because they are professional quality, but definitely worth every penny. 

If spending a small fortune on your hair is not in the cards my next recommendation would be One 'n Only Argan Oil.  The oil is a bit heavier than Moroccan Oil, but I actually like the shampoo and conditioner more than MO.  It could be a phase...and it could also be the $7-$9 price tag.  (versus about $20 each for MO)  Either way, they are both great products and are good for just about everyone.

~Perfectly Pastel~

I love the new collection from OPI Pirates of the Caribbean and silver shatter polish!  These colors are perfect for summer and the silver shatter gives a funky edge to such a pastel palette.  Only downside is I feel like the polish wears  off a bit quicker than normal.  I'll probably try two coats of clear next time.

Frizz Free?! Yes, Please!

So, having naturally curly hair is great.  But let's be realistic...there are days when I want to tame my curly locks and look a bit more polished.  Straight Day by Keratin Complex is my new favorite product!  It can be used before blow-drying to get rid of frizz and curl, but can also be used as a flat iron protecting spray to ensure those frisky curls don't get the best of you.  And, this product is made with 25% keratin so its a perfect compliment to anyone who gets Keratin Treatments or Brazilian Blowouts!  I would buy this by the gallon if I could!

Calling all Feather Lovers!

I'm currently feather crazy!  I absolutely love the hippie-chic look of feather extensions!  This "Morning Song Bird Feather" clip in extension is too cute, and the perfect way to give your everyday hair style a little bit of interest.  Click here to see more of the charming styles of Boho Plunder.  She has adorable feathers, jewelry and more.
