Regenepure! Everything for your fine or thinning hair



I have extremely fine hair and most conditioners make it downright flat on my head if I use enough to actually detangle. I do not have that problem with this conditioner! It gives my hair body and life while making it extremely shiny and bouncy. With a few weeks of use, my hair is becoming thicker, I assume because of the biotins. If you use it in conjunction with their shampoo you will see extra fantastic results. The tea tree oil is keeping my dandruff in check and my scalp is no longer itchy. I love that it's also safe for my color treated hair.

Ingredients
Biotin - A B vitamin that can also be referred to as vitamin H. Biotin aids in reproducing healthy skin and hair by creating new skin cells and encouraging hair growth. Studies have shown that an extra dose of biotin can assist growing hair longer, thicker and healthier. Tea Tree Oil - Used by aboriginal communities in Australia for many years as an antiseptic, tea tree oil can be applied topically for a number of skin ailments including fungal infections, cuts, burns, and acne. It has also been shown to help treat dandruff, and encourages healthy hair growth by unclogging hair follicles and removing dead skin and build up on the scalp. Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - Chemically similar to the natural oils of the scalp, jojoba helps to replace essential oils that shampoo cleansers typically remove. Keratin - Hydrolyzed Keratin, a derivative from non-animal sources, increases moisture, volume, and encourages hair growth by penetrating all three layers of hair. While hair is already made up of about 80% Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin consists of amino acids similar to the amino acids already found in hair. It also replaces cysteine, a semi-essential amino acid that reduces split ends and results in smoother hair. Silk protein - Derived from silk, hydrolyzed silk protein comes in both, powder and liquid form, and benefits the hair by restoring moisture while imparting shine and body. It combines with the Keratin in the hair to create a protective barrier that traps in moisture to condition damaged hair and eliminate dryness. It also strengthens hair while improving its elasticity. Copper Peptides - Copper tripeptide-1 reduces inflammation, rebuilds the skins protective barrier, and increases water retention. It also assists in restoring blood microcirculation and removing dead, damaged skin proteins, while increasing hair follicle mass.

Then there's the precision applicator spray.






My Sasquatch has been extremely hesitant to use any hair growth products, he is all "if I go bald, I go bald. I don't care!" That was until I started using Regenepure's shampoo and conditioner. After a few weeks my hair was becoming thicker and lovelier and he got jealous :-) Actually, he used the excuse that he wanted to see if it helped his dandruff. Yeah....... sure....... So when I told him that hey. this was from the same company and this would work really well with the shampoo and conditioner, he finally agreed to give it a shot.

So far, so good. His hair is becoming thicker and I'm not seeing as much scalp through his hair. With Minoxidil you have to give it time to work, it doesn't work overnight, but it does work. What makes this stand apart is the unique applicator. The elongated nozzle allows it to really get onto the scalp without wasting it soaking your hair. He recommends massaging it in after applying to really get it in there and to not have any of it run away. My ex used minoxidil and I think he would have loved this applicator, he always complained about the foam and the drops being hard to use.

NOTE: This formula is for MEN ONLY. There are women's formulas, but this is strictly for the gents.

100% Organic B.I.G. Beard Balm Review + Giveaway


This is going to be written by the holder of the facial hair. The floor is yours, sir.

This is the first balm I've used that was made specifically for beards, and it definitely surpasses the hair products I've used on my beard in the past. I don't usually do any fancy moustache twirlin', but I tried it out with this stuff, and it works like a charm. I'll mainly use it to smooth down rogue moustache hairs so I'm not too prickly for the missus. Also, the vanilla smell is quite pleasant. Shazam!

So, it's me again, and YES. He can smooch on me without jabbing me in the nostrils! Huzzah! I LOVE his furry face, but any ladies out there with furmen know what I'm talking about. It also smells fantastic, like a woody vanilla. It's a nostalgic, manly smell for me and that only makes ME like it more too!

While I did receive this for review purposes, I did not hold a gun to my man's head to leave a good review and my opinions expressed are mine own!

Arvazallia Advanced Hair Repair System - Argan and Macadamia Oils - I'm in love!


  WOW! Okay, that doesn't really count as a review, huh? When I was sent this haircare trio to review, all I could focus on was the hard to pronounce name :-) After using them, all I could focus on was petting my own head.

Sulfate free and paraben free, these are safe for all hair types including processed and color treated hair. I'm often skeptical when shampoos and such claim to work on all hair textures, but I believe it now. My hair is super fine, oily and fairly damaged and using the shampoo and conditioner together made my hair feel silky soft, look amazingly shiny and super clean without being stripped. I swear it actually stayed looking clean and fresh for longer.

The shampoo, being sulfate free, doesn't overfoam and strip your hair of it's natural, scalp protecting oils but still makes it crazy clean. The conditioner made my hair really soft and detangled; amazingly without weighing it down at all. Usually such deep conditioners make my hair limp and lifeless, but this actually had the opposite effect. After being basically bedridden the last 2 weeks, I used the hair mask to try and bring it back to life and it did that and more. This does not look like the hair of someone who's been lying in bed like a dirty mop for half a month!

It smells wonderful, a subtle fruity scent that had The Mister burying his face in my hear repeatedly. I'm 5'2" and he's 6'4", so he spends a lot of time smelling my head! This passed the hubband head sniffer test :-)

Saving stressed out locks with Alterna and Ojon

So wow, I just realized that like my last 5 or 6 posts were about hair stuff! So why not one more?

A few months ago, I lightened my hair. It's not too drastic, about the color that it is at the end of the summer after I've been in the sun for a few months, but the process is nonetheless damaging. I'm used to having really soft, sleek hair and the rougher feel of it was a bit disturbing to me. That's when I decided to pull out the big guns, Alterna and Ojon.

For those unfamiliar with the Alterna brand, just know that they're so freakin awesome that KATIE HOLMES recently became a co-owner because she loved them so much. 
If you read my blog or watch my videos, you'll see me raving about Alterna all the time, and this shampoo can be added to the list. After one use (!) you can see the difference. Your hair is shiny, silky, and totally moisturized without being heavy or weighed down. There's no sulfates to stress out your hair or dry out your scalp, so a bonus for those with sensitive noggins like mine. If you color your hair, you don't have to worry about this stripping or fading your color, it actually helps your color to last longer!

Caviar, Seasilk, Bamboo, Kendi Oil & more—these precious, sustainable ingredients deliver pure, powerful benefits. And what we leave out of our products is just as important as what we put in. We believe beauty products should be FREE OF Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates & other harsh or unnecessary additives. So important to us, this FREE OF claim appears on the front of every Alterna bottle, along with our commitment to eco-friendly packaging & fair-trade practices.



Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Seasilk Moisture Shampoo Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Seasilk Moisture Shampoo
Transform your brittle, dull hair into strong, healthy, youngerlooking hair. Formulated with Seasilk technology that repairs, moisturizes and nourishes hair, and Photozyme Complex that protects hair from damage. Incorporates Alternas AgeControl Complex that includes Caviar Extract, Vitamin C and Cytokines to reduce the effects of aging and help stimulate protein production.



I think they need to hand out bottles of Ojon Damage Reverse conditioner to anyone who does any sort of chemical process to their hair. While I do not normally have anything even RESEMBLING dry hair, after the lightening it really needed something. Well, this stuff is nothing short of MIRACULOUS. My hair had been protesting any time I tried to brush or comb it, and it became frizzy and unmanageable. One use of this and it was smooth as glass and super shiny. I was able to use my shower comb on it and the comb slid through my tresses like a knife through warm butter. Now I wouldn't recommend using this every day if you have stick straight baby fine hair like mine, but it's an amazing transforming treatment and my weekly luxury.

Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo & Conditioner

I was first introduced to this hair combo a little over 6 years ago on my wedding night. The chi chi hotel we stayed at used Kiehl's products and I was so impressed that I ganked a big handful of extra bottles from the hotel maid to take with me on the rest of our road trip. I washed my hair in hard water, in soft water, and even after spending an entire day frolicking in the ocean, but no matter the circumstances, my hair came out uber clean, bouncy, soft and shiny. They use natural ingredients to get your hair clean and conditioned in the most gentle way imaginable. This works on all types of hair, from my stick straight hair to The Hubband's super curly mop. It smells fantabulous, but not in an overly perfumed/chemically kind of way. Because my hair is so fine, a lot of conditioners can weigh it down, making it limp and prone to getting greezy really quickly, but this just made it soft and free of tangles and frizz. My favorite thing though is that the shampoo makes my scalp feel REALLY REALLY clean. I have a sensitive scalp that will flake and go dry at a moment's notice (despite my having oily hair) and this keeps my noggin flake free. Also very concentrated, the coconut oil in it gives it a great lather without all the harsh sulfates. Win Win!

It is nurturing for the skin and helps to restore skin's natural lipid barrier.
