Hair Therapy: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment

let me tell you straight out of the gate that i would pay more than the $5 and change i spent on Garnier's new Triple Nutrition 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment if i had to.
seriously. that's how much i love it.

this has become my absolute favorite drugstore deep conditioner, and for good reason-- it works so well! with a combination of shea butter and olive and avocado oils (along with other ingredients, of course), Triple Nutrition is deeply moisturizing and leaves my hair feeling so incredibly soft.

my typical routine with this is to wash and condition with Living Proof's No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner, then apply Triple Nutrition, leaving it in for 3-5 minutes. the result is amazing. if you need or are looking for a deep conditioning treatment, you need to get this.

Selita Ebanks at Fashion Week

wearing a fabulous dress by Rachel Roy, shoes by Gucci, gorgeous makeup created by Sywia Rokowska and a fierce hairstyle, it's easy to see that supermodel Selita Ebanks made her way through fashion week looking amazing. there was one day in particular that was pointed out to me on a day her hair was fabulously shiny and healthy-looking.

so how did Selita keep her tresses looking so gorgeous? her secret is Biolustre, a 4-step treatment system that helps repair overprocessed, damaged, tired hair. to restore healthy shine to her hair before her day of appearances during fashion week, and prepare it for styling, Biolustre celebrity stylist Ricardo Rojas created her style for Rachel Roy's fall 2010 presentation by blowing the hair dry with a round brush to accentuate her natural waves and add volume.

because the Biolustre treatment evens the texture of hair from root to end, Ricardo did not use any other styling products. to hold the look for the entire evening, he finished with Acanthe Curl Enhancing Leave-In Fluid to set the waves for a flawless look.

this Biolustre treatment sounds amazing, right? celebs like Heidi Klum, Mandy Moore and Booke Sheilds also use it to keep their hair looking its best.. visit biolustre.com for more info.

hair therapy: Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil

in the cold, dry months of the year (we've had many more this year in so cal!), hair needs extra moisture. i give my hair weekly deep conditioning treatments, and love leave-in conditioners. when i was informed about Shu Uemura's latest Art of Hair product, Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil*, i jumped at the opportunity to try it.

sold out worldwide (yes, it's that popular!), Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil has become my absolute must have. when a product wows me from first use, it becomes a staple.

so what makes it so great??

first of all, it smells great (i noticed this of course as i rubbed it between my hands before applying it to my hair). this "liquid gold" serum glides through my hair and leaves it shiny and silky soft. i like to rub in whatever's left on my hands and it never leaves my hands feeling greasy.

also, Essence Absolue is a multi-tasker! it can be used in so many ways; as a pre-shampoo treatment, as a leave-in, as a UV protectant, for protection during color application and an uber-shiny finishing aid.

i have been applying a pump to my ends at night before bed and about 5 pumps before i wash my hair (once a week)-- it loves this stuff and i'm loving the results from using it. the price tag is definitely on the luxe end of the haircare spectrum, but since i know i'll miss this when it runs out, i have already signed up to be informed when it becomes available for purchase again.
