Give Your Hair A Little Color With Streekers

Want to do something wild with your hair without making a drastic, permanent change? Try Streekers ($10.95 USD)  hair colors.    Created with advanced technology,  Streekers instantly bonds liquid hue to your hair. The formula looks and acts just like permanent hair color, so you can brush your hair without dulling the shade or risking color flake-off.

Streekers is available  in Red, Pink, Blue, Purple, Green, Yellow, Orange and Ultraviolet.  Apply Streekers directly to dry hair from mid-length to tip, in long strokes. Allow Streekers to dry and style straight.

What I think: Streekers are really fun and so easy to apply. My 10 and 15-year-old daughters have been using them as a fun look for school and do not have trouble applying them. They will also be perfect for Halloween.  The only thing  to watch is that these do not work on dark hair. My hair is dark brown, and they didn’t show up. But if you have light to medium colored hair, they will work fine.

You can purchase Streekers at select salons and cosmetic specialty stores; ULTA; or www.streekers.com.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up and Highlighting Pen

Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up and Highlighting Pen

So being of a uh, certain age, I’m starting to go gray…shhhh…don’t tell anyone. Actually I have been coloring my hair for a few years now. First just for fun, but now if I don’t do my roots in a while — the wiry, witchy grays come a callin’.  When I heard about Oscar Blandi’s Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up & Highlighting Pen ($23.00 USD), I was really excited to try it. This is a very portable little pen, about the size of a tube of mascara, that is easy as to use as it is to carry. You twist the pen until the color saturates the brush, then brush it on the roots or squeeze some onto your hand and dab it on your hair. I like to brush it on then blend it with my fingers.

The pen comes in the following shades: -Beige Blonde: for pale to light blonde hair that’s natural, single-processed, and/or highlighted
-Light Golden Blond: for medium blonde hair with natural or highlighted gold or caramel tones
-Neutral Brown: for medium brown hair with natural or highlighted neutral tones
-Warm Reddish Brown: for medium brown hair with red tones, brown hair with red or auburn highlights, or red hair with natural or highlighted brown tones
-Dark Brown/Black: for dark brown and rich black hair that’s natural or single-processed 

I own this in two different shades; Dark Brown to match my hair and Warm Reddish Brown to add fun highlights. To do this, I separate a strand of hair and “paint” it with the brush. It is fun to do and looks great on. This is fun for a night out or just to mix up your look.   

 I like that this is a safe product, even pregnant women can use it.  The formula is also free of ammonia and peroxide. For convenience sake, it is fast drying and washes right out.

You can purchase these fab pens at www.oscarblandi.com or at your local Sephora. Enjoy!
