m.o.p. Styling Tonic

Posted by prettyologist on January 4, 2009

m.o.p. Styling Tonic:  Conditioning Fixative spray-
Want the perfect blow-out?  Want a great looking wash-and-go style with minimal effort?  Then Styling Tonic is just what you need!  Great for medium to thick straight and slightly wavy hairs – Spray evenly onto damp hair, comb into place and air-dry, or blow-dry sections with a brush.   It conditions, smells amazing, and has a light, natural-feeling hold to keep the shape of a blow-out or style.  Styling Tonic is magical!

My Favorite Blow-Out:  Mist Styling Tonic onto clean, towel-dried hair.  Put a dollop of Biosilk Silk Therapy in your hands – rub ‘em together to emulsify, then apply evenly to your hair, starting at the ends or the most damaged hairs, working up to the top of the head.  If you feel like going all-out, apply Root Boost to the roots of the hair too.  Blow dry the roots of your hair first, (upside-down if you want more volume) then, when the roots of your hair are dry, and the ends are damp,  blow-dry sections of your hair with a big paddle brush to smooth it all out.  Fabulous!  Add a finishing product of your choice – categorized here under “Shiny Stuff”.  Or just give it a little spray of Shaper.

Catwalk Camera Ready

Posted by prettyologist on January 4, 2009

Catwalk Camera Ready Weightless shine spray:
Would you like fabulously sleek, shiny hair that also smells like candy?  Then this is the product you need!  It’s a weightless shine spray for the shiniest hair ever.  Camera Ready should be the very last step in your beauty routine, after the hair is completely styled. Camera Ready is great for all hair types, I like it best applied after you’ve set the hair with a coat of Shaper spray.   Fine hair?  Don’t worry!  Camera Ready won’t weigh you down as long as you put Shaper on first!
Other than Shaper, this is my favorite finishing product for hair.   It looks totally sweet in bridal photography and photo shoots, and is a necessity for a great up-do.   If you have frequently colored hair, dry hair, gray hair, curly or wavy hair – your hair may naturally lack shine, and have a dull finish.  Aside from good quality shampoo and conditioner, this is the best thing to give healthy shine to your hair.

-     Added bonus:  do you or your little tyke have super-tangly, dreadlocked hair?  Spray Camera Ready directly into the snarliest of snarls, and comb gently.  It’s great as a de-tangler!

Catwalk Frisky Spray Gel

Posted by prettyologist on January 4, 2009

Catwalk Frisky Spray gel: for body, waves and texture-
Well, it’s the only spray gel that I approve of!  Great for fine to medium-thick hair that’s curly, wavy or straight.  Defines and enhances the look of waves and curls with just enough hold to keep their shape, without making your hair feel like a crispy critter!  If your hair isn’t curly, you’ll still love Frisky.  It adds texture and body, or you can spray it into damp hair and scrunch it up for waves you didn’t even know you had.  (I HATE the word ‘scrunch’, it brings back bad-hair memories from being a teen in the 1990’s- but it does work great with this product!)

Spray Frisky evenly onto damp hair, ‘scrunch, finger-style,  (don’t brush!)  and air-dry for a low maintenance waves, or ‘scrunch, style and dry with a blow dryer and diffuser for more dramatic waves and volume!  If your hair tends to frizz, apply Biosilk Silk Therapy to the hair before or after Frisky.  Frisky can also be used sparingly during the day on dry, already styled hair to freshen up the waves and curls.
