Beat the Heat with JOICO’s K-PAK Color Therapy Collection!

With the highest concentration of Quadramine Complex in its formulas, K-PAK delivers the ultimate in healthy hair. K-PAK products work synergistically to rebuild, reconstruct, strengthen and protect damaged hair!

I love JOICO’s new line, K-PAK Color Therapy. It’s one of the better shampoo/conditioner lines I’ve tried for color treated hair! Being summer, my hair is constantly taking a beating! Summer sun, chlorine, you name it! This collection helps keep my hair healthy and looking amazing. I am so happy to have found it!

Protect Hair Color with JOICO’s K-PAK Color Therapy Collection

A dual-benefit system that strengthens strands while doubling the life of color’s vibrancy makes this the ultimate summer care essential. The deep-conditioning and hair reconstruction duo contains the revolutionary QuadraBond Peptide Complex. This complex resurfaces and reconstructs hair to ensure that damaged strands maintain color intensity twice as long when compared to ordinary shampoo and conditioner. At the same time, even the weakest, most fragile or structurally impaired hair feels softer, silkier and more manageable, and looks shinier and healthier.

  • K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo ($13.95): Gently cleanses while enhancing elasticity, strength, color vibrancy and shine. The rich lather won’t disrupt the surface B-Layer, so color molecules are discouraged from escaping.
  • K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner ($15.95): This daily formula fortifies, reconstructs and strengthens as it protects color integrity. It calms surface disruptions, and helps smooth, detangle and eliminate frizz.

Do you need a tech time out?

With the never ending technology around us do our smart phones, laptops, ipads and social media sites get in the way of our relationships?

I can’t count the number of times on a girls night someone checks there email or mid conversation stops to “check in” on Facebook. How often do I tell my kids or husband one more minute so I can check emails or Facebook. Sometimes it is work and it has to be my priority but a lot of times it can wait.

I have thought about setting a tech time out everyday maybe 6pm-8pm where cell phones and laptops are all put away in order to spend quality time with my loved ones.

Do you or your family have a tech time out? Did it work? What did or didn’t you like about it? Come join me in the BlogFrog community and share your thoughts.
