Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL!

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Rihanna has the Internet crashing over news regarding her latest upcoming release. You ready? Better be because they’re here, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! A sexy step away from her sick lineup of lipsticks and diverse foundations. So then, what are these new beauty must-haves for summer 2018?

Literally, just the products that will be in every beauties makeup arsenal. Starting with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava, this gem is a full body luminizer that will give your skin an out of this world gleaming effect. Like forget highlighter, Rihanna’s body illuminators are all that is necessary in order to achieve an intense, all day wear glow up.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Miss Fenty is kicking off her Body Lava collection with not one, but two luxurious tones. Beginning on April 6th you will be able to purchase the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in both: Brown Sugar and Who Needs Clothes.

Brown Sugar is the deeper of the two body illuminating products. It has a more golden, coppery finish unlike Who Needs Clothes with it’s more pink pearl, lighter appearance. Nonetheless, each one packs a powerful, mesmerizing punch.

However, even though Rihanna is flaunting it, why should one use an illuminator? What is it’s sole purpose anyway? To answer those questions allow us to ask, “Well, have you seen the Gram lately?” Everyone is glowing like they were created from the sun directly.

Nevertheless, not all of us are born with picture perfect skin with gorgeous luminousity. In fact, most of us are not. Thus, why using an illuminator product can come in handy; among other reasons, here are just a few:

Radiance– At times our delicate skin can look a little dull. Adding a smidge of product with a sparkling effect can instantly give skin a boost. Allowing for a more natural, healthy finish.

Go Baby Go– We’re all busy, so being able to brighten and enhance on the fly is anyone’s dream. Body luminizers are easy to use and give off super quick results. Instead of months of treatments you can get a celebrity glow in seconds.

Like a Rose Petal– Another amazing aspect of these glowing products are that they usually contain some sort of skin softening agent. Therefore, not only do you get to enjoy awesome highlighting elements, but softer, smoother feeling skin. WINNING!

Definition– Why do you use highlighter on your face? Besides it looking absolutely fabulous in a selfie, you most likely also use it for its contouring benefits. Highlighter allows users to bring out their best features while slightly altering the ones they are not so fond of. The same can be accomplished with a body luminizer.

You can apply it to only the areas you decide, in order to give definition and more contour to your body. Got a great chest? Show it off by illuminating it. Got sexy shoulders, taut stomach or neckline? Well then, you know what to do! Body illuminators can help you enhance any body part that you love.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

So now that you know why you should use an illuminator, you may be wondering how exactly it works. Well, its pretty simple. You see these products are formulated with gentle pearlescent molecules that shimmer and shine once applied.

They can reflect light so that whether you are chilling on the beach or serving looks at a party; your skin can look A-list status. While the lightly textured mixture should make quite the impact with one pass. It can also still be layered in order to achieve even more intense yet beautiful results.

So we all have something to definitely be excited about when it comes to the release of Fenty Beauty Body Lava. However, did you know it is actually a member of a much bigger product lineup? Yup, it’s true, the Lava illuminators are apart of the Fenty Beauty Beach Please Collection.

As a result, Rihanna took to social media to talk about her new glow-worthy products. On Instagram she says,

“Summer came early with my Beach Please collection [by] Fenty Beauty. Body Lava Luminizer and Fairy Bomb glittering Pom Pom are coming to fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP on April 6th!”

Besides the nice reveal to fans the world’s favorite Badgal went a step further. Yes, Rih went full YouTube style on us all with tutorials demonstrating exactly how to use the new Beach Please collection. The tutorials were not only enlightening and a great plug for the line itself; but, also gave a cool sneak peek about another tool!

Beach Please will also incorporate a new kubuki brush to help one and all get their glow on. The brush works hand in hand with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Luminizers to blend them in seamlessly into the skin. Not only will this provide a more professional looking finish; but will also help keep fingers clean. Since who really wants to deal with a messy application? UHM, no one (Lol).

Now that we have talked extensively about brushes and illuminating body lava. However, there’s still one more item to discuss and it’s just as fabulous! If you’re not feeling liquid, then maybe glowing up with powder will be more your speed. Enter the Fenty Beauty Fairy Pom Pom!

Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Pom Pom

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Remember wanting to steal Tinker Bell’s wand so you can sprinkle pixie dust everywhere? Oh wait, that was just us (haha)? Well, now you can dust yourself with a powder puff loaded with glitter.

The Fairy Pom Pom is reminiscent of old Hollywood. You may be reminded of classic starlets sitting in front of their vanities daintily patting themselves with powder puffs. Nonetheless, this is not your grandma’s powder. Instead of being baby powder fresh you will be able to puff your skin to a more luminous epidermis.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

As one can see April 6th is gearing up to be quite a busy shopping day. However, since we are sure that the Beach Please Collection will sell like hot cakes there are a few things you should know. For instance, the collection will available for purchase on the 6th on the Fenty Beauty as well as Sephora website. Also, the Sephora app will have purchasing powers.

Furthermore, items will also be available via Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP just at different times. Availability will begin at 8a.m. on the Harvey Nichols website; and 10 a.m. in store at Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP. That’s it for now, happy shopping everyone!

Coffee for Hair- Say Hello to More Growth and Healthier Looking Hair!

Coffee for Hair

Make that cup of Joe pay major hair dividends! Think more shine, more growth and even more strength! If any of those are what you are striving towards, have you ever considered adding coffee to your hair care routine? At first, using coffee for hair techniques and treatments can initially seem a little strange. However, the numerous benefits will easily have you rethinking your stance. So then, allow us to briefly introduce you to the exciting world of coffee hair care!

Coffee for Hair- Why Use It?

For one thing, it’s all natural baby! Hair products that incorporate harsh ingredients eventually lead to strands having harsh looks. For instance, just a few of the ingredients to watch out for in popular hair care items include:

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate– Has been connected to causing skin rashes, eye damage, depression and even cancer.
Potassium Sorbate– This ingredient has been linked to inducing skin as well as organ system toxicity.
Dimethicone– This form of silicone can cause the skin and scalp to be not only drier, but become irritated.
Triclosan– Is known for irritating the eyes, skin and lungs. In some cases has also been the cause of organ disruption.
Polysorbates, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Phenoxyethanol– These ingredients have the ability to cause irritation of the skin, eyes or lungs.

See the importance of using natural hair care items? While of course, everyone is different and various ingredients may have an affect on some and not on others. It is always safer to utilize products with ingredients that will do the most good instead of the most harm.

Coffee for Hair- Additional Benefits

Coffee for Hair

Besides, being more delicate on your strands and body, coffee comes with a host of other amazing benefits! Let’s quickly discuss a few of them. You may be shocked!

When it comes to hair the number one searched hair issue is usually how to grow more hair. As a result, coffee is like a superhero to the hair strand. This is because caffeine helps to stimulate the follicle’s ability to produce hair.

Furthermore, this little benefit is extremely important since the quality as well as length of one’s hair greatly depends on the health of the hair follicles. To help in this area, coffee stimulates the roots thus improving not only their structure, but their growth. Due to this coffee can do much to prevent hair loss and restore hair growth.

Another wonderful benefit is that coffee is very rich in phytosterols. What can these do for you? Phytosterols awesomely promote moisture retention and absorption! Moisture is not just important for healthy hair in general, but can help prevent dryness, damage, breakage or lack of hair growth.

Coffee for Hair- Invest in Coffee Oil

 

Coffee for Hair

Ever heard of Coffee hair oil? Some have, some have not. However, if luxurious looking tresses is your aim, purchasing this natural hair product will help you achieve that very result. Coffee hair oil has been credited with the ability to increase blood circulation to the scalp and stimulation of hair roots. Remember, a healthy scalp equals healthy hair growth. If want something more traditional, but just as good try Obsessed Hair Oil. Celebrities swear by this oil!

Earlier we mentioned how coffee is not among the widely known top 12 harmful hair care product ingredients. Which is also why many healthy hair consumers love just how coffee hair oil is made. It is derived directly from coffee grounds.

Oftentimes coffee grounds are just easily and simply dried and then infused into an oil to be used on the hair. While coffee hair oil can be purchased already bottled and ready for use. Some choose to make the oil at home themselves. This ensures that there’s been no funny business with the inclusion of extra unnecessary ingredients that may be bad for the hair.

Coffee for Hair- How to Make Coffee Hair Oil

Coffee for Hair

Want to know how to make coffee hair oil? We thought you might! We asked several hair professionals to give us a simple DIY (do it yourself) recipe. Here’s what they recommend:

DIY Recipe #1

1. Combine 1 cup of Olive Oil with 3/4 cup of ground coffee and place the mixture into a jar.

2. Put the lid on the jar securely then give the jar a good shake. Make sure that you shake the jar well.

3. Keep the jar in a dry place from 1 week up to a month.

4. Strain the oil from the mixture using a cheesecloth. Enjoy using your oil!

**Quick Notes: What is a cheesecloth? A cheesecloth is a loose-woven, gauze-like cloth made out of cotton that’s used in cooking or making cheese. They can be bought in store or online. For instance, Target as well as Walmart sells these cloths for less than $3.

DIY Recipe #2

1. Pour 8 tablespoons of Coconut or Olive oil into a pan and add in 4 tablespoons of ground coffee beans.

2. Heat the mixture over low heat for half an hour or up to a couple hours. Stir occasionally.

3. Strain out the oil using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Once again, enjoy!

**BEAUTY BONUS! Time to think outside of the strand! Besides being used as an oil for the hair, did you know you could also use this as a body or face oil? Use it to help tighten skin, prevent wrinkles and reduce the appearance of cellulite. This bit of beauty news can be summed up in one word… Amazing!

Coffee for Hair – Our Final Thoughts

As one can see, coffee is not just great in a cup. It can be used to give new life to strands as well as the skin. Therefore, try out these coffee for hair treatment ideas and experience their extensive benefits. You may just find they are just the right temperature (wink, wink).

Fixing Hair Shrinkage and Loss of Length Due to Tangling With Oil

hair shrinkage

We get it, hair shrinkage is the pits. It can almost feel like your hair look is being short changed. Tresses start off stretched and closer to full length only to draw up like a clam in a shell. Plus, don’t even get us started on detangling. If only there is something one can do to fix both issues simultaneously.

Hair Shrinkage and Loss of Length Due to Tangling

Well, hold on, because there is an option! Do you know what it is? If you guessed hair oil then you would be absolutely correct. Now allow us to quickly tell you why.

First off, what exactly is shrinkage? This is the result of the hair drawing up due to the inability to maintain moisture. The strand can literally “chase” after hydration.

hair shrinkage

You see as the hair dries it normally dries at the ends first. Meaning our roots dry slower than our strands’ ends. As the hair dries it “draws up” in order to get closer to the moisture still present at the roots.

Get the picture? If you do, then most likely you can also glean a fix to this common hair problem. Nevertheless, if you don’t we’re going to tell you the secret anyway.

Combating Hair Shrinkage and Loss of Length

hair shrinkage

One the simplest ways to retain moisture in the hair is to seal it in so that it can’t escape. So then, what is a proper sealant? Here is the best hair oil that accomplishes this with ease.

The oil acts like a fence that moisture can’t get over. As we like to say think of it like a puppy and a high barrier. Everything stays nicely and safely inside.

Since moisture can stay along the entire strand the hair does not need to necessarily draw up towards any hydration. Plus, hair oil or creams add more weight to strands. This allows gravity to also do it’s job to keep tresses going downward than up.

Fixing Loss of Length Due to Tangling

hair shrinkage

So then, now that the cat is out of the bag on how to combat shrinkage. You may be wondering about the second half of this article’s title. How does shrinkage play into tangling?

Simple. Shrinkage causes knots and tangles. The more coil-y the texture, the higher the shrinkage and in turn opportunity for more tangles to be formed.

Nonetheless, hair does not have to be curly or wavy to hair issues with tangling. Straighter textures can also be affected by this issue. Also, dry hair can cause split ends and knotting at the ends. By the way, that is a good indicator that your hair can use a trim; if hair ends can not be combed or passed through with fingers easily.

The best way to fix this? You guessed it, hair oil. You’re a quick study! (wink, wink).

Hair Oil- Combating Hair Shrinkage and Loss of Length Due to Tangling

Nevertheless, the easiest way to detangle tresses while preventing shrinkage is to apply coconut or jojoba oil (or both together) to your hair. Heat the oil(s) up and apply the warm concoction to your strands and scalp. Then use your fingers to gently detangle any knots.

You will find the oil will provide a nice element  of  “slip” to your tresses. Thus, making detangling not only easier, but less of a pain. Literally.

hair shrinkage

In order to gain the most benefits, hair oil should be used in conjunction with your other styling products. If you use creams, leave-ins and the like, continue to. Moreover, cream moisturizers should be apart of your hair shrinkage arsenal. When these are used along with oil not only are curls/waves more defined, but will experience less draw up.

So then, there you have it. You CAN combat shrinkage as well as tangles. The fix is natural and extremely useful… hair oil.

Ciroc Blue Dot

So much hotness it is scorching our phone screens! On social media Mister Sean John himself released visuals for the new Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign; featuring Diddy, Cassie, Def Loaf and French Montana. The caption? It reads as, “All in the Family.” Welp, it looks like that is exactly what Diddy is doing!

The ad campaign pictures the star-studded squad in a tennis setting. Relaxing, chilling and of course toasting to the good life. Diddy is certainly a masterful genius  in the realm of marketing. Putting on artists while showcasing his very own product. Thus, only proving that the music industry and its influence is still a powerhouse when it comes to making sales.

Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign Feat. Diddy, Cassie, Def Loaf and French Montana

Ciroc Blue Dot

If the campaign is drawing you in to make a purchase you may be wondering how much Blue Dot is going for these days. Online and in-store the prices vary. We personally noticed a range of $22 to a little of $50.

Now while the Peach flavor gets tons of love, no one is sleeping on the bottle with the blue dot either. In fact, Ciroc recently shared a few recipes sure to be a hit at your next soiree. Master them and you will be the Belle of the Ball. Here they are:

Ciroc Blue Dot Martini

1.5oz Ciroc Vodka0.

5oz elderflower liqueur

0.75oz white wine apertiff

Ciroc Lola

1oz Ciroc Vodka

1.75oz fresh lemon juice

.75oz simple syrup

splash of champagne

Ciroc Blue Dot

Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign

You fancy huh? If you have been loving all the different Ciroc releases since 2007, then you may just be a lover of the “finer” things of life. As a result, do you know the background story of this beloved liqueur brand?

Allow us to share a few interesting details. Ciroc is actually French made. SHOCKER. Actually, not really, at the bottom of each and every bottle in fine print is a brief description of Ciroc’s French roots. However, who picks up a bottle to read right? The fun is popping that “bad boy” (all puns intended) open and enjoying the fruits of Diddy’s labor (yes, more puns LOL).

Ciroc Blue Dot

Nevertheless, Ciroc gets its amazing taste due to being manufactured by using grapes from the Charente-Maritime region of France. Furthermore, it is produced and then distributed by a British-based multinational alcoholic beverage maker known as, Diageo. So then, now you too are in the know. Thanks to Diddy, France and Diageo your night’s can be seriously lit.

Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event!

Nubian Stories Night Out

Thinking about starting a new business? Striking it out on your own can be a bit intimidating. However, surrounding yourself with like-minded, driven as well as successful individuals; can make the road a lot smoother. Enter Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event for boss ladies desiring to go next level!

Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event

Nubian Stories Night Out
                    Nubian Stories Night Out Founder, Tiffany Dames

So then, you are probably wondering what exactly is Nubian Stories Night Out? In order to give you the full picture, we had the event’s founder, Tiffany Dames, lay it all out for us via Q&A.

1966 Magazine: Tiffany, we think what you are doing for black girls and women is nothing short of amazing! Please tell us what exactly is the purpose of Nubian Stories Night Out (NSNO)?

Tiffany Dames: NSNO curates events for young Black professionals; and advocates for Black Women through entrepreneurship, comradery, and artistry. The past several months, I’ve curated an array of events, including a Fitness Bootcamp, Pop Up Dinner, an all-Black Women Art Expo, and on April 8th I will be hosting a Golden Parachute Black Business Mixer. Each of my previous events has gradually grown, creating a following that I strive to continue to create enjoyable experiences for.

Nubian Stories Night Out – Why Get Involved ASAP!

Nubian Stories Night Out

1966 Magazine: Very nice! Why do feel that networking events are so important for black women entrepreneurs to be apart of regularly?

Tiffany Dames: According to Fortune Magazine, “The number of businesses owned by African American women grew 322% since 1997, making black females the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S.” — This shows that plenty of us know exactly what we’re doing. However, there are even more Black women who want to make that step into entrepreneurship but cannot overcome one obstacle. Fear.

The fear of uncertainty can be debilitating. So much so, it stops us from even trying. We plan our failure more than we plan our success. Nubian Shorties Night Out strives to ease that fear by curating these events allowing us to come together, to network and build upon community economics.  

Nubian Stories Night Out

1966 Magazine: Now that’s what we are talking about! So then, what’s next for NSNO?

Tiffany Dames: On April 8th our next event, entitled Nubian Shorties Night Out Presents…Golden Parachute Black Business Mixer. The goal is to create a space that gives Black entrepreneurs a chance to form an economic family, by building a set of connections to network and utilize for the promotion of their industry.

[Also] by continuing to curate events that promote and hire Black owned businesses, this offers assistance to budding entrepreneurs in building a successful brand and business. Essentially creating our own Golden Parachute to fall back on.

Nubian Stories Night Out

Nubian Stories Night Out – The Last Word

We love that Tiffany mentions the “golden parachute.” This term refers to the payment that high level executives receive upon termination. It ensures that they will be properly compensated regardless of what may happen or occur in the future.

Nubian Stories Night Out

Wouldn’t that be wonderful if that could be experienced in the black community as a whole? By networking and continuing to build together a safety net can begin to be formed.

Remember, you guys upward movement for one, is upward movement for us all. So be sure to support Tiffany’s upcoming event and check out the video below to get a taste of what you can experience by attending a NSNO event!

With numerous awards, celebrity clientele and several hit shows under her belt; we wanted to know what inspires Mason to continue to be so successful in the hair industry. She reveals,

“Yeah so I was at mom’s place and came across these old photos of my pops and granny. Let me just say they are the reasons why I am the professional Hairstylist I am today. They were driven. They were innovative. They had growing hands.

They had knowledge. Skills. Spiritual. They were creative. They were hungry. They were determined.

They had strength during times when we (you know what I mean) weren’t acknowledged for our talents and creations but set pride aside and did what needed to be done to support their family. And honey child I am here to say I got all that in my DNA. 3 generations… different eras.. similar challenges; [and] all good people. I wish they were here today so I could thank them at least; for passing it down to me. Forever grateful.”

Last thing we wanted to know was Mason’s thoughts on the long held black hair question, “What really does it mean to have ‘natural’ hair?” There are so many opinions out there. However, many do not realize being natural does not necessarily refer to hair being curly or coily.

Therefore, this subject is something we felt a professional view would be cool to have. So then, what does hair stylist, Rachel Mason have to say about it? Rachel states,

“Okay, so I want to make clear what going natural means. It means cutting out any and all chemical services to your hair. No color. No highlights. No relaxers. No perms. Virgin hair.

Easy enough right? I mentioned previously that I was going natural. I am. I am just going through something called a transition stage. You can cut it all off and rock a cute fade if it fits you to do so; rock a TWA or just cut the hair that is chemically treated and start there.

This is MY transition look and I chose to gradually go natural. I like to curl it, press it out or set it on some rods. I personally like the ability to change my hair when I feel like it and not be stuck with one look. I used to be like that once upon a time.

[However] very soon I will be completely natural, free of chemical or have virgin hair. But don’t be surprised if you see some color later down the line for summer! Here’s the thing ladies if you want to do it, do it! Make sure you do it for you and do it right. If you need help or ideas entering your transition speak to your Hair Stylist or just hit me up if you need a little inspiration.”

Winter Fashion 2018- Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show

Chanel Winter 2018

Hansel and Gretel eat your heart out! When it comes to fashion week no one quite does it like fashion house, Chanel. From the spell-binding couture to the equally visually pleasing venues, the luxury fashion label knows how to leave its fashion show attendees aching for more! For the Chanel Winter 2018 -2019 collection, Karl Lagerfeld enchanted his audience with luxe woven garments set against a forest backdrop.

Why is this show in particular making waves throughout the industry? Well, during fashion week you expect at least three things. A catwalk, glorious designs and a magnificent show. Chanel did all three with stylish hands tied in back.

Chanel Winter 2018

In answering the long held question what would you take with you if you were stranded in a desert or forest; Chanel’s winter show made the answer abundantly clear… any of their fashions! Chanel’s dazzling designs cast their spell with a color palette that lines up perfectly with the fall and winter seasons. We observe stylish tops, skirts, jackets and accessories all peppered with tones reminiscent of the changing of the leaves’ colors during autumn.

The colors are warm yet sharp. Defined yet welcoming. Your eye is drawn in immediately but is able to take in every look’s detail in it’s entirety.

Your outfit may be the cake, but a proper handbag is the cherry on top! Chanel’s Winter 2018 handbags are trendy with an original edge. There are big bags, small bags, crossovers and of course, totes.

One element we love is the matchy-matchy look. Several handbags were twinning with their accompanying ensembles. Literally, tweed met tweed and hues met the exact same color(s). Whatever fabric was used to craft a couture design that same high end material was used for the look’s very own handbag.

This is great for the person who enjoys a perfect match. Or for someone who may struggle with pairing accessories with their clothing. Either way, Chanel has things covered.

One other detail that is certainly worth mentioning before moving on is Chanel’s use of the double bag. Have you ever needed two bags just to carry your essentials for the day? Well, Chanel wants you to know you are not alone. During the fall/winter runway show a model hit the catwalk with not one bag, but two swinging from her shoulder.

One smaller shoulder handbag layered over a larger tote made up the completed look. While carrying two bags may not become the next big thing. It is fun to see a neat way on how to make this style dilemma work in the best way.

Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show – Accessories

Hair was kept simple but was embellished with luxe, crystallized hair accessories. Other outfit additions we noticed included scarves, leggings/tights, chain belts as well as logo/name earrings and necklaces. Moreover, with the earrings we noticed Chanel indulged in the super hot uneven earrings trend. To rock it all you have to do is wear two different size earrings. They match but one is always super longer than the other. Thus making the finished result stylish, yet dramatic.

Furthermore, gleaming details were not just noticed in the accessories. Various boots, tights and pants all had shimmery elements. Proving that winter fashion does not need to be drab like the season’s weather. You can easily spice things up by utilizing sparkle.

Lastly, one other piece we loved was the fingerless gloves! Very Material Girl meets punk. The fun gloves came in different lengths; both regular hand glove size as well as elbow length. Certainly, a design that easily garners attention without trying too hard.

Well loves that is our fashion show recap. Keep scrolling to see even more runway shots!

Heal Your Hair! Why Use Obsessed Hair Oil

Hair Oil

Hey there hair lovers! As the Editor of 1966 Magazine I am constantly bombarded with new, amazing products to try. In recent times there has been a little bit of backlash when it comes to product reviews and opinions. Much of the dismay has been caused by social media which has every famous face promising that the fountain of youth involves teas, waist trainers, teeth whitening kits and other products that have actually turned out to be ineffective. However, I have personally used Obsessed Hair Oil for months and I can absolutely confirm that the results are real and will help heal your hair!

Heal Your Hair! Sherry’s Life Obsessed Hair Oil

In order to help you appreciate the importance of hair oil when it comes to your haircare regimen; I would like to share just a few of the numerous benefits. The right hair oil can:

•Stimulate hair growth.

•Add shine and luxurious luster to strands.

•Penetrate deep inside follicles in order to strengthen and condition.

•Help tresses to become softer.

•Fight against one of the biggest hair enemies: breakage.

•Aid in the prevention of split ends.

Nevertheless, did you notice that I said you would need the “right hair oil?” Go to any beauty supply store and you will easily spot a plethora of hair oils on the shelves. Yet, many of those available are NOT all natural and are filled with several other chemicals that are completely unnecessary.

To prove it, next time pick up one of these products and flip it over. Review the ingredients list and notice that the actual advertised hair oil is way down towards the bottom. Why so far down on the list? If this hair oil is supposed to be this oil, then what’s with all this other junk? Makes you wonder what you have been putting on your hair huh?

Now I’m not saying every last oil on the market does this. However, you may be shocked at how many do.

Obsessed Hair Oil – My Experience

Hair Oil

For me summertime is everything! The sun is out, beaches are packed, there’s outdoor concerts and don’t even get me started on all the pool parties. However, I normally also have one glaring hair problem to contend with as well. Dandruff.

Like the WORST thing you can have show up  when you’re among crowds. No, that’s not salt from my hot dog or saved snow from my freezer to keep me cool. It’s ugly, horrible flakes on my scalp.

Since I was a little girl, come “fun in the sun” time my hair and scalp would resemble the Sahara. I don’t know why, it just always does. Over the years I found a good hair oil is almost as good as having Cinderella’s godmother’s wand.

Nevertheless, that’s where Obsessed Hair Oil comes into the picture. Like a knight in shining armor it swooped in and battled with my foe. For days I watched on as my captor slowly lost strength and its grip upon my soul (Can you tell I was born to be a writer? Wink, wink).

Obsessed Hair Oil – Why It Worked

Hair Oil

Let me just cut to the chase. It worked wonders due to the amazing combination of oils utilized. For instance, Obsessed Hair Oil contains peppermint oil. This particular oil has been proven to help with improving the condition of dryness. Did it? Oh yes, my friends it did!

Not only did my own hair in general become softer, all traces of dandruff completely vanished. Moreover, it has not returned. Obsessed Hair Oil also contains JoJoba Oil and Rosemary Oil. Together these oils produce a specially formulated, supercharged hair oil that effectively conditions hair from the inside,  out.

My hair is healthier, like I can literally see and feel the difference. Furthermore, it’s grown an inch in just about a month and a half. I realize everyone’s growth is Give it a try. Obsessed Hair Oil retails for $18.50. In a future post I promise to give you another update on my hair journey!
