ghd on Belle Belle Beauty

In honor of the Neiman Marcus Spring 2015 Beauty Event, I thought I’d tempt you with some goods to stock up on. There isn’t a better time for investing in great beauty products. This month, I have been trying out ghd, a luxury hair care line that stands for nothing less than “Good Hair Day”. This brand has a cult-like status and my hair stylist and friend, Nic, raved about their tools today when I popped in for a little color (going grey is soooo fun). ghd introduced a revolutionary ceramic iron to start off and their reputation continues with brushes, tools and hair care that provide amazing shine.

First up, the Eclipse Hair Styler is new and is able to style faster with less heat (specifically 365°F). The tri-zone technology works on even difficult hair and can actually make hair stronger. My favorite part is that it styles big chunks of hair at one time which not only makes for a quick style but also a more natural look that is kinder to strands.

My personal favorite wave tool is the Soft Curling Iron. My hair doesn’t hold much of a curl, so I like to use this bigger 1.25″ barrel for full waves and bended ends. The cool tip makes it easy to wrap hair around the wand. There is a auto-sleep mode after 30 minutes which also gives me peace of mind.

A final favorite is the Classic Wave-Wand which is an oval shape and clip-less. The shape is tapered between 1 and 1.5″. This wand also has a cool tip and a long cord to allow for nimble styling. If I wasn’t so dependent on the clip, this would be my pick for waves. On day I shall master that wand! In the meantime, I am going old school.

Nic also pointed out that she loves ghd tools because they are safe to use internationally with universal voltage.

L’Oreal Paris Ever EverStyle Texture Tousle Crème

L'Oreal Paris Ever EverStyle Texture Tousle Crème // Belle Belle Beauty

Women are always evolving their hair routine. I know the last year has totally transformed how I style and treat my hair. First, I learned how to round brush my hair. After the novelty of that wore off, I mastered the rough dry for messy volume. Most important was learning that I needed way more hydration than I thought. And if I doused my hair in moisture, I could actually air dry my hair!

But it wasn’t just moisture that made this possible. It was an introduction to L’Oreal Paris Ever EverStyle Texture Tousle Crème. While I used to think creams were suited for curly hair, this just isn’t true. I can use a quarter-sized amount of this and air dry for a messy, piecy and tousled look. The scent is great and it doesn’t leave my hair crunchy or sticky. Waves are soft and touchable.

With this colder weather, I sometimes don’t want to go out with wet hair. You can alternatively work it through strands before bed. Or rough dry and use fingers to encourage the tousled waves.
