Kiehl’s Since 1851 Magic Elixir Hair Restructuring Concentrate

Arianne Suggs January 13, 2015January 13, 2015Leave a Comment

It is a misconception that since black hair tends to be on the coarser side that it has a stronger resilience to breakage. The texture of our hair does not make it stronger, it still needs protection and the infusion of natural oils and hydration to remain healthy and durable. Using the right products will help you to grow your hair and keep it flourishing.

Kiehl’s Since 1851 Magic Elixir Hair Restructuring Concentrate helps to restore moisture balance to the scalp and hair all while improving hair manageability. This product works on all hair types and will not only soften your tresses but encourage luminous shine. This magic elixir includes Vitamin E, Omega-6 Fatty acids, Safflower Seed Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil and Avocado Oil. This nutrient packed yet light oil is perfect for locking in moisture after applying a leave-in conditioner or when performing scalp massage.

Nightly Routine

Hair Quickie: It is a good habit to brush hair every night from root to ends in order to promote growth by stimulating the scalp as well as give tresses a healthy sheen. Locks will look more luminous due to the distribution of natural oils throughout the shaft caused by the brushing action.

There are no words for tonight’s beauty who hails from our very place of residence Los Angeles, California. Shayla is a makeup artist who BEATS a face into flawless submission. Her celebrity clients include Real Housewives of Atlanta mega stars Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams.

We dialed up Shayla on the beauty hotline and fell in love with four looks that included bold lip colors, contouring, full eyebrows and exquisite eyeliner. We know you will agree that this call should of been even longer than four photos; however, all good things must come to an end. Keep up with this beauty and learn a trick or two thanks to Shayla’s YouTube channel.

“The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive-you are leaking.”
