Summer Frizz

If you are like many out there who have naturally wavy hair, the summer heat and humidity can really do a number on your hair!!!!

I mean you can blow dry, flat iron, gloss on, and spray, but guess what--- go out in the heat and humidity and your hair is done! This topic even came up amongst friends who had the summer frizzies and she was asking whether keratin treatments were worth it.

I have had it done in the past and is definetly leaves your hair really straight and great for the summer, and lasts a while. However it does fade away wash after wash, and you are where you began-back to square one. :-(

Well I found this amazing product- Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy. I used the Anti-Breakage Serum and the Flat Iron Spray. Both have natural ingredients such as coconut oil(which is rich with antioxidants), keratin proteins(which strengthens and softens the hair), avacado oil and cocoa butter(both which smooth and the cuticle to hold straight. Plus all the ingredients contribute in giving your hair a brilliant glow and luminescent shine.

I started out after my hair was air dried, and sprayed my hair with the Flat Iron Spray. Then once I finished flat ironing, I sprayed again to hold(the bottle directions say to do this), and added the Anti-Breakage Serum at the ends, and lightly over all.

The results were great, and my hair frizz did NOT win this time! What I like best is that the properties that contribute to straightening and shining the hair, and keeping it straight, shiny and non-frizzy are natural.

I highly recommend! You can get this at your local drugstore.

Natural Nail Polish Remover by Karma Organics

Ok, it's back to fashion this week!

So we already talked about and know of all the dangerous and potentially harfmul/toxic chemicals and formaldehyde(known to cause cancer) found in NAIL POLISH. Thankfully, there are all natural choices that exist in nail polishes, and they come in the latest trendiest colors, classic colors and the like.  

But taking the nail polish off can always be dangerous, toxic, smell of formaldehyde,  and just not the most pleasant nor healthy process!

Enter Karma Organics Natural Nail Polish Remover- with Soybean Oil and natural oil extracts- I used the lavender oil one! They come in three different scent/flavors- Lavender, Tea Tree Oil, and Unscented with Vitamin E Oil.

I thought I would have to rub with a cotton ball for a while to get the nail polish I used off. But I was pleasantly surprised when with two swipes/rubs the nailpolish was off! No running of nail polish color on my skin, no smell, and best off all, my skin felt moisturized.

The scent was really light lavender, nothing to crazy. At 4 ounces per bottle and $12 for the bottle, it is a little pricier than I would like, HOWEVER, you only have to use a little bit to get the nail polish off so that is a good thing!

Do They Have Natural Nail Polish?

The answer- YES!!! They do!! I just came across this great brand of nail polish, that is natural, hypo-allergenic, and of course, FREE of toxins called Go Natural Nailpolish.

What is so great about them? Go Natural Nail Polish is made from biodegradable ingredients which will dry hard, be chip-free, and have a durable finish! What's more, they do not have foul orders, do not damage your nails or the environment, and have no toxic chemicals- they are free of formaldehyde, toluene, acentone, BPA, DBP, and every other chemical normally found in "harmless looking" nailpolishes.

They also have a biodegradable, soy-based polish remover, along with a base and top coat. Available in 49 shades, I went with the hot pink, and loved it.

 I haven't tried their nailpolish remover but I am so GLAD they have come out wtih everything you would need to get that great manicure/pedicure. without all the chemicals!
