Giveaway Break - HairMax Haircare

HairMax unisex hair care combines nature and science to bring you a complete hair solution. Here are some highlights from their product line:

HairMax Enhancing Shampoo
Retail Price: $12.00
Hairmax uses Phytic acid in its shampoo system to lower the pH and promote a regenerative action on the base of the scalp, reducing oxidative stress layers. The shampoo system can be used by itself or in conjunction with the HairMax LaserComb. The HairMax shampoo system has a lower pH than most shampoo systems on the market. The company’s research indicates that the oils (sebum) produced in the hair follicle can turn into a waxy substance in higher alkaline environments. This lower pH, phytic acid based shampoo system helps to prevent the sebum build up and promotes the lubrication of the hair follicle to encourage healthier looking hair.

Revitalizing Conditioner
Retail Price: $12.00
Most conditioners are thick and heavy, weighing down the hair making it look flat and difficult to style. HairMax conditioner utilizes innovative botanicals that deeply moisturize the hair shaft then rinse free, leaving the hair soft and manageable.
The HairMax Conditioner restores and protects the hair shaft while a combination of botanicals and vitamins rejuvenate your hair's look and feel. With the added benefit of sunscreen protection, the HairMax Conditioner will encourage a healthy scalp; giving your hair a healthy look and feel, leaving your hair smooth and shiny.

Invigorating Scalp Treatment
Retail Price: $7.50
Healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp. Perspiration, sebum, environmental pollution and styling products can build up on the scalp clogging the hair follicle, leaving particle deposits that can clog hair follicles and leave hair looking flat and greasy. Invigorating Scalp Treatment is designed to dissolve these particles, washing them away, making your hair look full, clean and full of body. The Invigorating Scalp Treatment contains phytic acid to help reduce the pH of the scalp. When used in conjunction with The Hairmax Laser Comb, this facilitates laser absorption from the Hairmax into the scalp.

Hair Fortifier
Retail Price: $7.50
Many of us take vitamins to maintain the health of our body. Well our scalp isn’t any different. HairMax Hair and Scalp Fortifier are vitamins for your hair. This product is infused with a special combination of botanical nutrients, DHT blockers and innovative ingredients, like caffeine, oleanolic acid and biotinoyl tripeptide, that are believed to have positive results for healthier looking hair. HairMax Hair and Scalp Fortifying mist is delivered directly to the root of the hair, maximizing the benefits these innovative ingredients may provide.

Beauty App Tuesday - My UV Check

Did you know that Melanoma is the fastest growing cancer in females age 25-29? With summer around the corner, it is important to protect yourself from harmful UV rays and from becoming another statistic. As part of La Roche-Posay’s SOS — Save Our Skin campaign that encourages daily sun safety through education and awareness, the brand has launched a new iPhone application, “My UV Check,” that uses location-based services to assess the strength of sun rays. Studies show that regular use of sunscreen led to a 50% decrease in melanoma. With ‘My UV Check,’ choosing which SPF factor to bring to the beach has never been easier! Check it out in the iTunes store - it's free!

GET THE FACTS WITH ‘MY UV CHECK’:

  • The first application on the market that measures both the UVA and UVB index
  • Provides individualized sun risk diagnosis
  • Learn how to check your own skin for suspicious lesions/moles
  • Explore the Anthelios range for individualized product recommendations and to find the closest store near you


CopyKate Look from Almay

Morning readers! I have some exciting news! I recently teamed up with the Glamour Beauty blog and ALMAY on a "How to Get that Look" post. In the post (check it out here), I walk through the steps on how to recreate Kate Hudson's fresh daytime look from her new movie, Something Borrowed. There are two other looks recreated by other fabulous beauty bloggers.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? If so, how was it? I'm so overdue for a chick flick movie night!
