July Favorites

Hi everyone,
I thought that I would share with you all some of my go to hair products that I have been using in July. Here they are in no particular order:

Sebastian Trillant
This product is a heat protectant and a shine spray and it smells amazing. You can probably see that it is two different colors. In order to activate this product you need to shake it.
I use this when I blow dry my hair. You don't need a lot of it.




Redken Smooth Down Butter Treatment


I love this deep conditioner, it is smooth and creamy and literally feels like butter. I am outside a lot and with the dry summer weather this saves my hair. 

Moroccon Oil Leave in Condtioner

 This leave in conditioner makes my hair feel soft and smell good all day. I don't use a lot maybe have the size of a dime and I just run it through the ends of my hair after I blow dry. 

Matrix Design Plus Fiber Shuffle

This product is amazing it gives my hair the shape that I want and it is a light hold so I can still lrun my fingers through my hair. I really don't like hard hold products in my hair. 

Matrix Vavoom Shape Maker Hair Spray


I was in a crunch and just grabbed this hairspray when Salon Centric was having their big sale, it came in a two pack. I have been pretty dedicated to Big Sexy Healthy Hair Hairspray, but I think that I like this one even better. It helps my hair keep its shape and volume with a flexible run your fingers through your hair hold. Its amazing. I seriously don't think that I will ever purchase another hairspray. 

That is all of my monthly favorites for July. I hope that this was helpful and that you enjoyed it.

Review TIGI Urban Antidotes Recovery




I needed to get some new shampoo because I just finished the last of me Sebastian Trillance, which I loved. I was browsing and came a crossed the TIGI section and they had a really good deal on TIGI Urban Antidotes:Recovery. I thought that I would give it a try.

I have been using the shampoo for a few weeks now and I really like it. They are formulated for dry colored hair and since it is summer I thought that it would be perfect. My hair has been decolorized and toned. So sections of my hair do become very dry.

I love the smell of this shampoo, it smells very fruity, the first sent that comes to my mind is pineapple and candy. It lathers well and rinses nicely and it makes your hair feel clean. The conditioner smells similar to the shampoo just more of a toned down sent. It is thick and creamy and makes your hair feel noticeably softer.

I personally shampoo my hair 2 to 3 times a week, usually 2. One thing that I notice was that by the end of the day my hair would feel more oily that it normally would. But the decolorized parts of my hair were still dry.

My solution was dry shampoo and a little leave in conditioner where it was needed. After those few adjustments my hair styled great.

My overall rating for this shampoo is a -B possibally a C. I don't think it is anything special. Maybe the summer weather had something to do with my results. I will have to try it out in the fall and see if it is any different.
