Why Science Makes Our Lives Better

Whenever it comes to reading about DIY- beauty products, I always find myself captivated by how science and technology has grown so fast...and in that span of time, made lives of the vain and beauty-hungry more exciting.

Back in the day when it seemed like it cost so much to get your hair rebonded without it looking like a dried out broom, who would have ever thought we would come to today- where you can get your hair  well-colored using mousse, a permanent blow-dry at home, a nail polish that shatters after you apply it for a cracked egg-shell look...

Here are a list of our favorite innovations for June 2011:

1. PRECISION FOAM HAIR COLOUR (JOHN FRIEDA)

"Simply massage the foam into your hair to achieve flawless coverage you thought you could only get at a salon. No drips, no stains – just gorgeous-looking hair from every angle."





2. SHATTER COLLECTION (OPI)


"you basically paint it on...and it cracks...beautifully"


"Black Shatter was received with great fanfare, showing that women are looking for new ways to express themselves and are excited to try different textures on their nails," says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. "Unlike traditional nail art which can be complicated and difficult to replicate, Shatter is easy to use and allows everyone to experiment with this new trend."


3. BLOWDRY PERFECTOR (Garnier)
How it works:
  • Cysteine: A protein building block found naturally in hair helps to loosen bonds that keep hair frizzy and unmanageable
  • Rice oil: The conditioning treatment is formulated with rice oil to help seal in lasting smoothness, creating a weightless, humidity-resistant barrier to frizz.
To use:
  • Step 1: Apply the 20-minute Smooth-It Serum to clean, damp hair. Leave in for 20 minutes then rinse
  • Step 2: Apply the Heat-Activated Perfect-It Cream throughout the hair. Blow dry or flat iron hair as you normally would for sleek, shiny, more manageable hair.
