Rita Hazan Knows How To Keep Your Color In Tact!

Looking to keep your hair protected and vibrant constantly? See below for Rita Hazan products that are formulated to revive and repair color treated hair. I use them to protect my platinum blonde tresses and love how the products leave my hair feeling both soft and silky.

Rita Hazan True Color Ultimate Shine Gloss ($26): This formula adds a hint of tint and a dose of shine to prevent color fading and dullness. Hair color is revived, radiant and as shiny as the first day it was colored.

Rita Hazan Weekly Remedy ($42): Designed to repair severely damaged color treated hair, this remedy is an innovative and lightweight treatment that works immediately to repair hair from the inside and out.  

Everyday Essentials: Haircare and Skincare

With summer in full swing, you can pack your bag with the below essentials and be well prepared to face any day! Fight the frizzies, have beautifully clean skin, sport a soft ponytail holder and use less product by trying a silicone applicator. 

Conair Quick Blow-Dry Pro Vent Brush 

With Conair Quick Blow Dry Pro Vent, Brush Vents allow airflow from blow-dryer to reach hair for fast drying and styling. Use to add volume and lift to hairstyles. Professional quality results. Contains 10% copper coating.

Scünci Heathered Knotted Ponytailers 

Scünci's Heathered Knotted Ponytailers are soft ponytail holders, providing comfort all day long.

DDF Advanced Micro-Exfoliation Cleanser 

Sloughing off dead surface skin cells to reveal new skin is a must in any skincare regime. Too harsh and your skin gets irritated, too soft and you’re not getting the needed results. This ultra hydrating, creamy, glycerin-based cleanser gently exfoliates with natural rice bran particles to reveal fresh new skin. Improves skin hydration up to 3 hours after cleansing alone!

Philip B. Crème of the Crop Hair Finishing Crème 

Brilliantly transforms dry, puffy strands into smooth, glossy, piecey perfection. Great for medium to thick hair types.
Intense conditioning and shine with supple hold adds sexy definition to both straight and wavy styles. Calms frizz and flyaways, seals thirsty ends and leaves hair silky-soft. Contains botanical hydrators (Silk Proteins, Hydrosoy 2000™ and pure extracts of Carrot and Vanilla) which restore precious moisture lost to heat styling and lend curls a pretty, ringlet-y effect. Phthalate free; color & keratin-treatment safe

Makeup Drop

This Silicone Makeup Applicator was designed to completely eliminate wasted makeup and skincare. While sponge applicators soak up large amounts of makeup during application, the MakeupDrop™ perfectly applies and blends your foundation, blush, highlighter, concealer, moisturizer, and primer without absorbing one drop! Only half the amount of product is needed as compared to a traditional sponge or brush applicator.

Evo: Haircare Products and More

Evo's cheeky packaging had me wondering what the brand was all about. Their overall concept is to cleanse, repair and strengthen your hair. 

I had the pleasure of sampling ritual salvation ($24, repairing shampoo), ritual salvation ($24, repairing conditioner) and mane event ($25, protein treatment). They were specifically targeted for my color treated hair yet they have an extensive line of other options. They all smelled delightful and left my hair feeling shiny and smooth. These products are sulphate, paraben, dea, tea and propylene glycol free.
