Take Care Of Your Hair This Summer!

In the summer, I always want easy care for my hair.  And I think that starts with great products, such as easy shampoo, conditioner and styling products.

I was sent the below products for my honest review.  They are all products that help clean and keep hair looking great, without a lot of fuss:

Wen Summer Honey Peach Cleansing Conditioner ($40 for 16 oz) – a rich fragrance with warm and indulgent honey that tempers fresh juicy peach. With one product, you replace your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in, and detangler. All three formulas are designed to work with all hair types and textures.

Wen Mandarin Italian Fig Nourishing Mousse ($42 USD) – This formula has a bright citrus scent tempered with fig, earthy aromas, the scent of florals, woods, and amber. Nourishing Mousse should be applied to soaking wet hair, before or after WEN Styling Creme. Distribute evenly throughout your hair and style as desired.

What I think:  First of all, Wen products always smell amazing — really natural and fresh. I love that the cleansing conditioner can be used for the whole body.  It leaves hair and body soft and hydrated.  It’s easy use for the summer as it is cleansing and conditioning in one step.  The Mousse leaves hair soft and swingy, plus it helps keep the style in place.

My favorites this week are products to treat skin and style hair. Great skin and hair are so important in warmer weather.  I don’t wear as much makeup, but still want to glow.

Hydroxatone Hydrologic Deep Moisture Serum Sheet Mask ($19 USD) — formulated with humectants, some that are found naturally-occurring in skin; these attract water from the environment and bind it to skin, delivering reparative moisture, enhancing and restoring it’s supple, radiant beauty.

What I think: Masks are something that I try to use whenever possible.  Both of these are so hydrating, which is perfect after the cold winter and before the hot summer!  The sheet mask is easier to use, but the active infusion mask is a bit more hydrating.  Both are great products to moisturize the skin.
