Vintage Jolie: Intensive Hair Conditioners
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005
Yes, yes, I know—I’m obsessed with many things: Bare Escentuals, Laguna Beach, the state of Nick and Jessica’s marriage. I am a simple girl. But one category of products stands out above all others for me: intensive hair conditioners. I’ve been dying my hair since I was fourteen (blonde! red! brunette! weird dishwater-color! back to blonde!) and my poor locks are beyond fried. Because my hair is also exceedingly frizz-prone, I can’t do that whole “wash ‘n’ wear” thing, which means I have made very, very good friends with my blow-dryer. So the only way I can keep my hair from calling it quits and falling out (which, yes, it actually did last summer, hence my current very short ‘do—trying to grow the hair back, people!) is by conditioning it into oblivion. A few of my favorites:Kerastase Olèo-Relax: Not only does this have an amazing floral scent, but it helps reduce frizz and keeps hair sleek.Fresh Meadowfoam Cream Treatment Conditioner: Has a great, thick consistency that leaves hair shiny and extra soft.Bio-Ionic Super-Hydrator: My favorite hairdryer is by Bio-Ionic (the ions are supposed to make your hair smoother and softer) and when I use this conditioner, then follow with my blowdryer, my hair looks as polished and flat as when I go to the salon.Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx Reparative Treatment Mask: Contains protein to help strengthen damaged and colored hair, and has a really nice, vanilla-y smell.Terax Crema: A classic—detangles in a snap, helps reduce static and fly-aways, and leaves hair beyond silky. It doesn’t smell as amazing as some other conditioners, but I suppose you can’t win ‘em all.
Obsession of the month

Terax Crema is a miracle for dry colored need help immediately fried hair! I am a natural dark brunette and decided to bleach my head blonde. Let’s just say the results were less than pleasing. I stumbled upon Terax and found my miracle product. Terax Life Drops come in a close second. I love this product and use it everytime I color my hair now.I also stick to my natural hair color ( with a few blonde highlights of course!)
