Poof!

I'd like to turn you on to an awesome product that's not so new, but it has worked wonders for me and will probably work wonders for you too!!

As you know, I am not a beauty expert. I am no JolieInNYC (see jolieinnyc.com for all your beauty needs.) However, I know when something works and this product is just IT!!

I have unmangeable hair. I guess you could call it curly, but it tumbles down (or at least it used to tumble down, now its much too short!) in unruly waves that moved in every which way and frizzed to no end!

Though I'd often leave my hair curly (it does manage to look good once in a while, thanks to Pantene Hydrating Curls shampoo and conditioner,) I tend to straighten it once in a while to get rid of the curls and try something new once in a while. Not only did straightening take FOREVER but it never stayed quite the way I liked it. Humidity would make it big to no end, and it ended up poofing and frizzing!! I would use BioSilk, which did wonders some of the time, but sometimes it would continue to frizz and poof despite all my best efforts.

Fortunately, I happen to work at a fashion/beauty magazine, where even lowly researchers such as myself get free beauty products once in a while. That's exactly what happened to me when the Beauty dept. asked me to try out Barex hair treatments for straight hair. Of course, I didn't exactly jump at the chance, but why not? It was free and I wondered how it would help my gigantic head of hair. (Gigantic in that it would never die down!!)

Barex Italiana Silicone hair treatment products, a line of hair treatment products by the creators of the Four Seasons line (not to be confused with the hotel,) nourish and  rebuild the hair shaft while adding volume & shine to all hair types. Whether thick, thin, wavy or straight , Barex Silicone products are naturally balanced to improve the condition, strength and appearance of the hair.

I tried Barex Re-Define Creme (Humidity Proof Smoother) and it worked wonders. After letting my hair air dry and straightening with a flat iron, I combed all the kinks out, then worked a bit through my hair and it instantly de-poofed. Not only did it de-poof, but it didn't poof up again that entire day. I wore my hair straight to work and people continuously complimented me on my post-salon tresses (which of course I hadn't been in a salon in weeks) and asked what I had been using. I told them about Barex and after I was done testing out the product, I scored a tube of my own. I added a bit more gel to my hair every morning for about 3 days (no shampooing of course) and re-straightened

If you're worried your hair will never be straight and stay straight without forking over moola for salon care or chemical straightening every time, don't despair. Get yourself a container of this hair care miracle worker. Check out www.fourseasonsproducts.com and look for Barex. You won't be sorry!
