As a busy Mother’s of three, I have to keep my hair routine quick and efficient. I don’t have a lot of time to dry my hair on low heat, use a lot of different products, and style it into a perfect ‘do. I use a limited number of products; and they need to be efficient, just like my morning routine.

With all of the hair care products I use on my hair; plus all of the heat styling I do on high heat-so it works faster, it is so important to take care of my scalp! I am so happy that Aveda’s Pramasana scalp care line has amazing products which exfoliate the scalp, leaving it squeaky clean, and free of product build-up. Love that!

I have found that if I use the Pramasana purifying scalp cleanser once a week, my scalp is a lot less dry. Although I don’t use a lot of styling products, I do blow dry my hair often, along with using products which help protect my hair from the heat. The purifying scalp cleanser clarifies my scalp, getting rid of that yucky product build-up. Love that!

Aveda’s Pramasana protective scalp concentrate is great to put a protective coating on my scalp. It not only protects it from product build-up, but creates a barrier to help protect the scalp from blow dryer heat. I use the concentrate before blow drying my hair. It’s great!

If you are looking for a cleaner scalp, or to protect your scalp, I highly recommend Aveda’s Pramasana collection! Love!

L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care collection review

From top left: hair products c/o L’Oreal Paris: L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Micro-Exfoliating Scrub / L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Moisture / L’Oreal Paris Ever Creme Deep Nourishing / L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Volume / L’Oreal Paris Ever Creme Nourishing Butter / L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff

I am so excited to talk about the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection with you! This collection features a hair care product for every type of hair; which is so amazing! The collection is made from botanical ingredients, and is 100% sulfate-free, dye free, paraben free, vegan, and gentle on color treated hair. Love!

So my teenage daughter will get really mad that I am writing this, but, in order to give a proper review, I need to let you know what works! My adorable teenager has dandruff, so she has been testing out the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner. She washes and blowdries her hair everyday; without any heat protective product. Her hair takes a daily beating, so dandruff has been a problem. She has been using the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner for about two weeks now, and she loves it! It has eliminated her dandruff problem, and her hair remains well-moisturized, without any film. She loves it!

My middle daughter has fine, curly hair. She loves to make sure her curls are in ringlets, yet has volume. If her hair looks flat, she rewashes it! I gave her the L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Volume shampoo and conditioner to test out. Her curls are staying bouncy, and her hair is fluffy with volume. She is very happy with this shampoo and conditioner! So if you are looking for volume, this works!

My hair tends to be dry from continual use of a flat iron and blow dryer. Since I need moisture, not oil, added to my hair, I decided to test out the L’Oreal Paris Pure Moisture Shampoo and conditioner. It does the job without leaving my hair with an oily film. Love it!

I have a feeling the Ever Creme collection will come in handy this summer when  my whole family has dry hair from the pool, and the beach. Since the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection is free of parabens, dyes, and sulfates, I feel confident letting my kids use it on their hair.

This is a great collection of hair care products, all affordably priced! Love that! You can find the collection available to shop online by clicking on the photos in the widget below. I would love hear what you think of this collection!

Irresistible Me hair extensions review

Pictured: hair extensions c/o Irresistible Me Silky Touch, color #4, 20″ long, 200g weight

I have always loved having long hair. But I have to admit, I wouldn’t mind having longer, fuller hair. I mean, who wouldn’t?! So, when Irresistible Me offered me a sample of their Silky Touch, clip-in hair extensions, I couldn’t resist! Three cheers for longer, fuller hair!

There are so many variations of natural colored hair. I was not quite cure if the extensions would match my hair when they arrived. Thankfully, they are a perfect match! It was as if they were made for my hair! Love! My perfect color match is color #4.

Since I was going to get extensions, I decided I might as well get the heavier weight, and a long length. I order the 20″ extensions in 200g. They are slightly longer then my natural hair, making them blend in well, without looking like obvious extensions.

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch extensions arrive in a small box. There is one extension kept separated from the rest so you can test it out against your hair color and make sure it is a good match. This makes the box easy to return if the color or length is incorrect. Fortunately, mine was a perfect match!

This is my natural hair, and no make-up look. OK, I am wearing lipstick-but that’s it! My hair length is fine, and my volume is OK, but sometimes a girl needs a little bit more va-va-voom in her hairstyle! Amiright?

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions arrive with different widths inside the box. There are one comb, two comb, three comb, and four comb widths. This comes in handy when you want to add volume in specific places. I used the four comb extension on the back of my head and two of the three comb extensions on the sides. I used the two and one comb extensions to fill in where my hair seemed to need a little bit more hair. I left one two comb extension, and one three comb extension, in the box. I felt like I had enough volume from the other pieces.

This is the end result! I like the length, and there is A LOT of volume. I’m not used to having so much hair on my head! haha.

In the photo above, I did not style the hair extensions. This is how they look naturally clipped in my hair. My normal look is fairly natural, so I like how the extensions look out of the box. That being said, for special events, and going out, they can easily be styled to look va-va-voom!

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions can easily be curled with a curling iron, straightened with a flat-iron, and set in place with styling products. Since they are made with real hair, they are as easy to style as your own hair. Love that!

If you are skeptical about slip-in extensions, don’t be! As long as they are clipped in underneath your own hair, no-one can see the clips. They look like part of your head. There is a lot of hair in the box, so you can wear some pieces, or wear them all; depending upon the event or your mood. Love!

I am excited to own a set of Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions. They will come in handy for special events, going out, or anytime I feel like having a lot of hair!
