Healthy Hair for the New Year with NIOXIN!

January 1st is right around the corner and it’s time to welcome the new year with simple healthy hair resolutions. Danielle Caputo, NIOXIN Top Artist and Celebrity Hairstylist knows what it takes to create beautiful tresses with a few simple techniques.

Her tips and tricks will still leave you time to tackle those hard to accomplish resolutions on your list!

 

Resolution: Try Something New! Most all of us get in a beauty rut. We do the same curls, the same high-bun or the same low pony every day. This is the year to switch it up with effortless waves like Mila Kunis and Elizabeth Olsen.

TO GET THE LOOK:
1. Start by spraying NIOXIN DiaMax at the roots and add a dab of NIOXIN Silk Elixir to the ends.

2. As you blow dry each section with a large round brush, apply NIOXIN Thickening Spray from the roots to mid-shaft.

3. After hair is dry, curl each section with a 1” curling iron and pin it up until all the hair is set in pin curls.

4. Spray NIOXIN NioSpray Power Hold all over the head and let hair cool off for 15 minutes.

Resolution: Reveal a healthy new scalp! A healthy scalp will help you grow thicker, healthier and more voluminous locks. Treat yourself with NIOXIN Scalp Renew. This professional in-salon treatment is a gentle scalp dermabrasion that removes build-up around follicle sites. It’s a great service for the scalp as we ring in the new year! To find a salon near you that offers NIOXIN Scalp Renew services check out the salon locator tool .

Resolution: Save money by protecting your haircolor! Getting your haircolor done every 4-6 weeks can be a big expense. Save money and protect your haircolor by using NIOXIN Hair & Scalp Systems 3, 4, 5 & 6. Each system contains GlycoShield, a proprietary tailored technology that provides color-treated hair with special attention. You can have thicker, fuller hair without compromising your color.

Jocelyn’s Christmas Must-Have #1!

Better late than never? Between the Christmas Giveaway’s we’ve been doing, and my holiday baking (this is to DIE FOR), I am just so behind! Forgive me, I promise it was worth the wait.

This kit is hands down my favorite beauty find of 2012. It will save me hundreds of dollars in the future! I don’t have to drop $25-$30 at the salon anymore, I can now give myself a shellac manicure at home! It’s so easy to use (seriously, it’s a piece of cake), you won’t believe the results you get!

This would make any girl on your Christmas list SO HAPPY! It is awesome!

THINK: Salon results at home, no manicurist necessary.

I was sent this kit to try out for myself, and I have to admit – I was very skeptical. I’ve had shellac manicure’s done in the salons, and I couldn’t imagine doing that MYSELF at home, and having it turn out half as good as it does in the salons. Boy – was I MAJORLY wrong. This kit is so easy, so user-friendly, if you can paint your nails – you can give yourself a shellac manicure at home.

What do you spend when you go for a gel manicure? $25? That’s what I spend! Now, you can save HUNDREDS of dollars doing the exactly same manicure in your own home! It is so simple to use, you won’t believe it!

I’m wearing the gel polish I put on last week, and it still looks brand new – like the day I put it on. I will NEVER go back to the salon again. Not when I can do it myself – at home!

Best part is, the kit is super affordable! I can’t believe this only cost $70. Pick one up yourself, they’re available now!!

WHAT IT IS: The at-home alternative to a salon mainstay: the gel manicureProfessional, high-shine, no dry time and long-wear—these are the qualities that have made millions of women gel manicure converts. But as any gel manicure devotee can attest, these perks are also what make the manicures so expensive—and time-consuming. That’s why the innovators at Sally Hansen are taking the manicurist out of the equation and putting professional results at your fingertips with the new Salon InstaGel Strips™ and Salon GelPolish™, two unique systems that equip you with everything you need to replicate a state-of-the-art gel manicure. Delivering mirror shine, no dry time and indestructible, chip-free wear for up to 14 days, each easy-to-apply system makes you your own manicurist at afraction of the price. With Sally Hansen, you can effortlessly get the salon manicure you covet without leaving home—or breaking the bank.

FOR PROFESSIONAL RESULTS IN 2 EASY STEPS

Speed up your gel manicure and get the same lasting results with the Salon InstaGel Strips™, a breakthrough, easy-to-use innovation exclusive to Sally Hansen featuring UV-cured real nail polish appliqués. The two-step gel manicure is quick and simple: Just cleanse nails and apply the nail polish strips, then apply the gel top coat. Cure nails under the Mini LED light, swipe nails with the cleaning pad, and voila—maximum shine and wear. Available in 16 solid colors and 8 designs and infused with nourishing Vitamin E, the easy-apply strips come off fuss-free with Acetone polish remover.

My Review: JONATHAN Product Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner.

I have a hard time finding the balance of getting enough moisture for my hair without weighing it down. JONATHAN Products Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner line is one my new favorite things. Unlike most hydrating products the formula itself isn’t heavy. Both the shampoo and conditioner have such a light consistency I was sure it wouldn’t be enough to tackle my curly, dry hair.

Much to my surprise this combo has the balance down. It’s light so my hair doesn’t get weighed down or limp but it adds so much moisture my hair looks and feels amazing. Within a few days use my hair was much easier to comb and I noticed a huge improvement in the shine and feel of my hair. Both products smell great but most importantly work wonders on dry and damaged hair.

JONATHAN Hydrating Shampoo 
A creamy, sulfate-free shampoo perfect for hair that needs an extra boost of moisture. It increases moisture retention deep within the hair cuticle, controls flyaways, and restores shine. UVA/UVB filters protect hair from sun damage and color fading. Great for dry, damaged or chemically treated hair.

Phthalate free. Gluten free. 100% vegan.

Scent: The fresh, invigorating Greenleaf scent adds relaxing aromatherapy benefits in the shower and stimulates the senses. Succulent notes of apple, plum blossom, lemon, jasmine and sandalwood energize and refresh, relax and invigorate.

JONATHAN Hydrating Conditioner
A must-have daily conditioner formulated to achieve long-lasting conditioning benefits, minimize the appearance of split ends, and make hair smooth and easier to manage. It restores shine and protects hair from damage caused by heat styling. Increases deep moisture retention within the hair cuticle and controls flyaways. Great for dry, damaged or chemically treated hair.

Phthalate free. Gluten free. 100% vegan.
