IT’S CALLED EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HAIR LUST.
I realize this is SUPER-late but at this point who cares! Here’s my January 2011 Hair Update. I played around with the scissors more than I expected to from November 2010-January 2011. The whole Search and Destroy method seemed to go on and on – especially when I had free time (not good).
WHAT IS THE SEARCH AND DESTROY METHOD?
Some of us know already and I personally started using this term only a while ago. I was doing it but didn’t have a name for it.
The Search and Destroy method is simply trimming your hair without losing your hair length. Instead of cutting inches of hair from entire sections to rid the mane of a few split ends, only strands with split ends are identified then snipped. The entire strand isn’t snipped of course just the damaged portion.
There’s no crying involved, no praying to the Gods. Snipping split ends off a few strands here and there won’t hurl you into a major panic attention. If your hair is cut into a particular style then the Search and Destroy method will allow you to maintain your current style. It’s not even something you need to do often (and I learned this the hard way). Don’t do this all the time – just don’t. You’ll not only look crazy but you’ll start to feel crazy.
Set aside a day and time to do it. Make sure you’re in a well-lit space (natural light is best I find) then start scanning your strands for split ends. When you find one, cut directly above the split end then moisturize the strand. That’s it. You’ll give yourself a pat on the back when you realize you haven’t massacred your hair by chopping off large sections just because you had a few pesky split ends. I always thought that was stupid anyway. It’s not worth losing all the hair you’ve worked so hard to keep on your head.
Laters les girls!

HAIR LUST, a HAIR CRUSH or your HAIR INSPIRATION, well it’s all of the above.
Meet Indian models Nidhi Sunil & Nicole Faria (photographed by Tarun Vishwa). Nidhi and Nicole seriously take my breath away in the photo and the cover of the February 2011 Issue of Elle India. I want to recreate the hair, the poses, the clothes and accessories! Your own hair doesn’t have to look exactly like someone else’s hair in order for you to be inspired. But seriously, aren’t you inspired to do something?

Meet American model Taylor Warren. I have this thing for hair that covers one eye. Don’t judge. It goes back to my childhood. I gasped the first time I saw Veronica Lake on television so it just stuck with me.

Meet French model Heloise Guerin in “A rock diva” lensed by Fabio Chizzola for the March 2011 issue of GLAMOUR ITALIA. I don’t even recognize her in these photos so I’m guessing the hair and makeup team have magical hands. Heloise looks amazing and I feel the need to rock this entire ensemble! Big hair, wind, I’m in.

WHAT IT PROMISES:
Moisturizes and restore youthful radiance
Adds renewed strength
Helps to restore elasticity
Prevents breakage
Brazilian Tech Keratin Deep Penetrating Conditioning Treatment by One ‘n Only is formulated to keep hair smooth, shiny, and nourished. This high-performance professional line helps restore hair’s natural keratin that may be lost or damaged during routine styling and chemical or color treatments.
Brazilian Tech Deep Penetrating Conditioning Treatment protects hair against heat during thermal styling and keeps hair smooth and shiny. Natural keratin protects hair from structural damage, strengthens and revitalizes damaged, stressed hair. Keratin is the primary protein of the hair.

HOW TO USE: Apply to clean damp hair. Massage in thoroughly. Leave in 2 – 3 minutes.
Recommended for weekly or bi-weekly use. Ideal as a maintainence regimen following a chemical or color service.
VERDICT:
I think this is a good product. My hair was VERY soft and shiny after just the first use. After the second and third use, my hair had some bounce. Whether or not this product is budget-friendly solely depends on where you purchase it. I’ve seen it offered for $6.99 and some stores sell it for $10.99 (which is too much IMO). Rusk has a version of this product and both versions essentially contain the same ingredients. (Rusk Pro Elements Keratin Smoothing Treatment)
Whether or not the concentration of each ingredient is higher or more beneficial in the Rusk version is a mystery to me but you can’t go wrong with either.

Generously apply to damp hair after shampooing. Spread from hair roots to ends, coating liberally and evenly. Leave on for ten minutes, thoroughly rinse and style as desired. For deep penetrating heat conditioning , saturate hair, then apply a plastic cap or sit under a dryer for 10 minutes. Rinse well, then style as desired.
VERDICT:
So, I’m not doing flips about Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil) or Petrolatum (vaseline) but when I tried this I added some essential oils and another vital ingredient to the mixture. I deep conditioned how I always deep condition – with a plastic cap and a bonnet attached to my hair dryer. I have to admit, not bad. My hair felt soft. This softness didn’t last long but this product is worth a try. It was on sale when I purchased it but this one is definitely budget-friendly. If the company that formulates this product would be so kind as to remove the MINERAL OIL and the VASELINE (at least from the first six ingredients) this would be a GREAT PRODUCT.
The smell isn’t off-putting. Honestly, I don’t remember how it smelled (because of the essential oils I used) but like I said, it’s worth a try. It has some good ingredients but c’est dommage you won’t get the full benefits from these “good” ingredients due to the MINERAL OIL and VASELINE.
Chances are, it’s HAIR LUST, a HAIR CRUSH or your HAIR INSPIRATION. I think this Editorial is called EQUINOXE from the October 2010 Issue of NUMERO 117. American model Cameron Russell is so gorgeous in these photos and her hair is to die for.
