Zelo Hair Care Brazilian Keratin Smoothing System

Hello, my beauties!

I was sent a box of the Zelo Hair Care Brazilian Keratin Smoothing system to try.

I have to admit, I looked online to see what other say about it and they say good things, however my hair is getting thinner by the second and I am currently taking supplements to thicken them up, but Jamie on the other hand was in desperate need of a treatment. So I applied it to her hair, to see the wow results I knew we would get! Lets get into this review :)

I received this box which contains a shampoo and the keratin treatment with an additional spray pump.

unfortunately both spray pumps did not work and would not  dispense any product. 

There was a large instruction pamphlet that I did just browse through because, Zelo has a video on YouTube guiding you through all the steps! How cool is that :)

I have to admit, this process reminds me of the days when I used to purchase a box of those perm your hair at home sets and we just used to not add curlers, just brush straight. LOL the things I used to do haha!

Here is a picture of Jamie's hair before the treatment. As you can see it has some friz and a lot of wave. Her hair is very thick and hard to manage. She basically runs a flat iron through it, but to be honest the wave still comes through.

We started with Jamie washing her hair with the shampoo provided, being sure not to rub the shampoo in her scalp. She said it felt very clean haha!

We towel dried her hair and I split it into 3 sections as suggested, which truthfully I don't see why we need the step but I followed anyway. I tried to spray the product on her hair but as I said the spray nozzles did not work. So I opened the bottle, pour some onto my hands, while wearing the provided gloves and applied it to sections of her hair. FLASHBACK! I felt like I was doing my own hair back in the day, a very similar process. Apply, comb straight and repeat until head is covered.

It was a nice butter colored formula and felt very rich and thick and smelt very natural. We let it set for the suggested 45 mins. I sent her back into the shower to rinse off the keratin and shampoo she originally washed with.

Jamie claimed her hair felt soft, very different than her natural hair. The final step is to flat iron the hair to seal in the treatment, which back in the day we did with a iron! haha, she did enjoy the stories of my beauty adventures :)

She was upstairs flat ironing her hair as I waited for the reveal and I heard her voice calling from upstairs, MOM! I need you! So I ran as fast as I could thinking I screwed up her hair, I pushed the bathroom door open to see the damage and all I saw was the mink, dark, rich brown shiny hair! It was amazing! All that yelling was that her hand got tired and she wanted me to finish her up, haha!

Jamies hair has never been better and who ever has seen her has complimented her hair!

This treatment lasts up to 30 washes Zelo recommends that you flat iron after every wash to maintain the treatment. This product retails for $35.00

I love the way her hair looks after this treatment and will continue to use it and recommend it.

Very easy to apply and use even a 15 year old could do it.

Thanks you Zelo Hair Care for this lovely product and the memories I shared with my Daughter!

I included a small video that we planned to make for this review, but life and someone named Alan had other plans. Enjoy :)

Top 10 uses of Argan Oil and How to spot a fake

Argan oil is sometimes called liquid gold and is an ancient beauty product that has been used by moroccan women for over 700 years. Those process to extract argan oil from the small seeds is very time consuming, but worth the wait. Argan oil like many other great products has many counterfeits.

How to spot a fake.

Read the ingredients. The packaging should read 100% argan oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil, many companies especially from China add only 1% of the oil and claim argan oil as the main ingredient.

Another way to spot a fake is the bottle, pure argan oil is always placed in a dark glass bottle to preserve the oil and its benefits, be wary of anything claiming to be argan oil in another type of container. Light breaks down argan oils healing and restorative properties.

Argan oil is so difficult and time consuming to extract the price for a pure bottle should cost around $25 and up. There is no such thing as cheap argan oil.

Pure argan oil has a mild nutty scent, anything with a strong scent or no scent at all have been heated during production process.

100% pure argan oil should be smooth and silky absorbing into your hair and skin in minutes.

Argan oil can be used by anyone regardless of skin type.

Top 10 uses of Argan Oil

1. Face Moisturizer. I apply at night and wake with a soft and healed face and any breakouts are healing with visible results.

2. Hydrating Toner. Add a few drops of argan oil to your favorite facial toner to hydrate and tone simultaneously.

3. Rejuvenating & Brightening Face Mask.  Add a few drops of argan oil to your store-bought mask or make your own.

4. Exfoliating Lip Scrub and Moisturizer – To smooth and moisturize your lips I apply a small amount to my lips twice a day.

5. Leave-on Conditioner I apply this to damp hair two drops and style as usual.

6. Hair Styling Shine.When your hair is dry, I only use 1 drop for the method.

7. Overnight Hair Treatment. Massage this to scalp and hair with a shower cap overnight and wash in the morning.

8. Cuticle and Heel Softener. I use argan oil in my dry areas and I love it.

9. Body and Bath Oil.  I am a after oil after shower girl and I love it, I think argan oil is taking over my virgin olive oil obsession.

10. Brush conditioner. I add just one drop of argan oil to my brush cleanser and my brushes have never been softer.

I received this bottle of argan oil from Lavina skin care as a free gift with their Lavina skin care hydrating facial serum.

Summer Hair Inspiration

Hello, Beautiful!

And welcome to Thursday, Thursday. I cannot believe how the weeks are just flying by and spring is coming! I'm so happy that the winter is coming to a close :) 

I really have no idea what I am going to talk to you about today, so I am just going to ramble, 

if you don't mind.

I have been trying to grow out my hair, its working and no, I am not putting anything on it. I am however cutting it at the nape of my neck every friday. This is something my Grandmother did for us all the time and I dont know why, but it works. I have also been using thickening shampoos because my hair is kinda on the thin side so I do have to tease it to get some volume in it.

This is the style I would love to have for the summer or something close to it haha :)

What do you guys think of this on me? should I also add the Ombre? Let me know what you all think!

If you have any suggestions for hair thickening please let me know :)

Also heres a video of my most recent eye look, enjoy!
