Finally a weightless, non-greasy shine spray. Heat styling can wreak havoc on my hair so I like to use shine products after but if I don’t get it just right my hair ends up looking or feeling greasy. The Umberto Shimmer Shine Spray is a great way to finish my look, it leaves my hair shiny and looking great but doesn’t weigh it down.

Umberto Shimmer Shine Spray $12.99
An aerosol shine spray for all hair types that leaves your hair glossy.

It makes hair noticeably shinier and has a subtle hair-spray effect, taming static and renegade flyaways. The only downside: The aerosol nozzle tends to leak, so it isn’t great for travel.

Available for purchase at Target and Target.com

I have used this treatment – and I can tell you it is AWESOME. This pre-shampoo treatment is under $10 – and you wouldn’t believe the results you’ll see!

This is an amazing new therapy that repairs damaged hair from the inside out. Used on dry hair – before you shampoo- the hydrolyzed collagen plumps the hair cuticle with protein, transforming rough, damaged hair into smooth, silky, youthful-looking hair. It eliminates frizz and smooths the hair, leaving a healthy shine. With just one use, you’ll see a remarkable difference in the way your hair looks and feels!

What I love about this product – is you can put it on your hair BEFORE you get in the shower! You can go about your business, and let it work it’s magic – before even stepping foot in the shower!

Oh how I love me some Umberto.

You can buy these products AND MORE at Target!!

This is a really great Blow Dry Lotion, I have used sprays before but this is my first foray into a lotion. Its super light and doesn’t gunk up my hair but really speeds the drying time.

The Umberto Blow Dry Lotion is a great deal for $9.99 you get a LOT of product.

While you’re out there scoring the perfect cocktail dress and sweater set, don’t forget to revive your hair color!

No measuring, no mixing, no mess. Salon color has never been easier! The one-step sachet packet system of color, developer, and equalizer is ready-to-use. Developed by master colorist Umberto of Beverly Hills, this easy to use semi-permanent coloring system can be applied directly to hair. With little to no ammonia, Umberto uses permanent color pigments which provide richer, more vibrant color in addition to lasting shine. Unlike other products that offer shine benefits, U Color penetrates the hair during the chemical process while the hair shaft is open resulting in lasting shine. To achieve results similar to U Color using other products – at home colorists would have to use a color, then a gloss or toner, and a conditioning treatment taking in total over an hour of your time! U Color’s sachet system achieves all these benefits in 25 minutes. Foolproof, professional color has never been easier!

Feature: Available in 24 shades; Umberto’s “magic” equalizer works during the chemical process to balance color absorption for beautiful, even color from roots to ends; The one step sachet packet system contains everything you need: color, developer, and equalizer; No or low ammonia gel formula that is pleasantly scented and so convenient it can be applied directly to the hair; U Color opens the hair shaft during processing, allowing the equalizer to penetrate the hair to lock in lasting color, conditioning, and shine all in one easy step.

Introducing U Color by Umberto – the cutting-edge line of foolproof professional color in a no-measure sachet system that is so simple, anyone can get salon-style results in the comfort of their home.

At a time where money is tight and women are really cutting back on spending, Umberto wanted to provide women with a product that allows them to both look and feel beautiful even if they don’t have the money for in-salon color or frequent touch-ups. This specially formulated demi-permanent color has richer pigments for vibrant color. The formula is gentle like a semi-permanent but long lasting like a permanent color and because of the Equalizer it covers gray. It is conveniently packaged in a mess-free Sachet Packet System designed to apply directly to the hair. Just snip, squeeze and smoosh!

I love this product because it actually feels and looks like you spent salon $$ on it. It’s so easy to use, and the finished product looks beautiful! I am so excited to find this product, actually, because I can’t afford to dye my hair in the salon anymore. To know that I can do it myself – and easily – for only $12?? Yes please! U-Color comes in 24 colors, and you can find them at Ulta – and online!

Umberto stood by his philosophy: “Hair is magical. You can do more with hair than an artist can do with a paint brush.” In creating this line, Umberto gives women everywhere the simple tools they need to create any look they want.

No Measuring, No Mixing, No Mess!
Salon color has never been easier! U COLOR’s one-step Sachet Packet System of Color, Developer and Equalizer comes ready-to-use making the system fool proof for even the least savvy. The magic Equalizer is the key to achieving results that no other at home product can duplicate.

Even Color from Roots to Ends.
The Equalizer is the magic ingredient that works together with the color and developer during the chemical process to balance color absorption. Because of the Equalizer, you’ll get full gray coverage and there’s no need to worry about a line of demarcation, or ends that ‘grab’ color and get too dark.

Lasting Color, Conditioning and Shine.
The Equalizer also contains an added Clear Gloss and Conditioner. Rather than use a pre- or post-conditioning treatment that only coats the hair, U COLOR opens the hair shaft during processing allowing the Equalizer to penetrate the hair, locking in lasting color, conditioning and shine all in one easy step, avoiding another chemical process and time consuming step.

Kit includes:
• 2 Sachet Packets (6 Fl. Oz. total) including Color, Developer and Equalizer that comes ready to use

• Illustrated Instructions

Instructions:
Simply fold the sachet packet and snip, squeeze and smoosh!
