Review: Enjoy Hair- Straightening Balm & Shine and Smooth Gel

 

 

The Straightening Balm

The Straightening Balm amazing because it works on even the most difficult hair. It helps make curly or coarse hair manageable, soft, and smooth. After shampooing and conditioning apply the straightening gel throughout damp hair and blow-dry. Style as usual & follow with the shine and smooth gel.

My Review*

I’m a true supporter of Enjoy products. Not only are they a dependable company with high quality products but they last a very long time too. I have straight hair anyway, but I like to add straightening products as well as a flat iron to get the kinks out and reduce the frizz that happens if I don’t use any products.

Enjoy products always smell amazing AND they are very effective. It is extremely smoothing and flattening without feeling gunky, oily, or building up junk in your hair. I love that it makes my hair extremely soft and smells amazing. Most styling products don’t smell so great.. and it overpowers shampoo and conditioner—so all you smell is the smell of the styling products. Having something that smells great is extra plus!

My hair is sleek, smooth, and holds nicely without frizz all day. The bottle is humungous so you get a lot of product (which will last quite a long time). I didn’t have to use very much at all to tame my hair!

It has a gel-like consistency and absorbs very quickly into my hair! I love that it doesn’t take awhile for it to really “get inside” the strands. I can put this on my damp hair and blow-dry it and I’m ready to go. No more hot irons AND blow-dryers at the same time!

It has a purple tint and a push-down top. I love the push down tops that all Enjoy products have. It makes it so much easier to throw in an overnight bag and take with me. I don’ have to worry about the bottle coming open and spilling inside my bag.

Buy It: You can buy the Enjoy Straightening Balm @ Sleek Hair for $17.49 for 10 oz.

The Shine & Smooth Gel

This is a small bottle (only 4 ounces) but it comes with a lot of bang. I only need to use a VERY small amount (less than a dime size) to get the desired smoothness!

I have tried a TON of smoothing creams, gels, and serums in my day and most of them left my hair weighted down and VERY oily looking. I want to have smooth hair, but I definitely don’t want my hair to look like I could fry an egg on top of it.

That’s one of the reasons I love this product so much. It smells amazing and NEVER makes my hair look oily or greasy. It gives the desired smoothness without weighing it down or making my hair smell horrible.

I blow-dry and straighten my hair almost daily, and I can see a big difference in the damage department from using this product. It seems to keep the damage at bay by wrapping it in little silk bubbles.

I love how soft and silky my hair is. I can style it afterwards and it is still absolutely FRIZZ FREE! Even when I let my hair air dry (which makes it 10x more frizzier) and then put this in my hair—I feel like one of those girls from a Pantene commercial..

Free flowing, gorgeous, manageable hair that isn’t overdone with slime and/or oil!

BUY IT: You can buy the

Enjoy Shine & Smooth Gel

for $14.19

Review: ONE Styling- Crush Mini Flat Iron

One Styling is a very innovative styling tool company. They have everything you need to look beautiful right at your fingertips. Blow-dryers, Flat Irons, Curling Rods, and accessories.

I was very fortunate to get to work with them on a review of their Crush Mini Flat Iron. I love that they offer a color variety in most of their products. Of course you KNEW I’d flip out over the lime green.

I love that the flat iron heating part is colored. Makes it SO  unique, and looks so good on my bathroom counter! There are 3 other color selections in the Mini Flat Iron other than the one you see above. They have Raspberry (pink), Silver, and Black.

I absolutely LOVE this mini flat iron. It adds a little oomph to my hair styling! It heats up VERY quickly. As soon as I plug it up, it’s hot within 30 seconds! I love that I don’t have to wait to get styling.

Usually I can be pretty lazy after I get out of the shower or bath. I’ll just throw my hair up in a bun and go to bed. The next morning- I wake up like this!

So, as you can see- I desperately need help taming my mane after a night of not wanting to blow-dry it. DO not let the name “MINI” confuse or fool you. As long as my hair is, I can easily straighten my hair with this! ABSOLUTLEY no problem at all.

The smallness of the flat iron makes it easier for my hands to grip. This also makes it really easy to get real straight hair without the frumps! The best thing about it is that it automatically calibrates heater based on hair texture.

So if you have thin hair, it decreases the heat, so that you aren’t at risk for being burned. If you have thick hair, the heat increases so that you are getting ALL of your hair and not just the top layers!

This is what my hair looked like AFTER straightening with the Crush Mini Flat Iron, which is amazing since I have SUCH long hair.

It has Tourmaline technology to provide maximum negative ionic output to lock in moisture and eliminate static and frizz. Tourmaline technology provides maximum negative ionic output to lock in moisture and eliminate static and frizz.

BUY IT: You can buy the Crush Mini Flat Iron in four different colors for only $30.

Review: Color Edge; Pearl Shampoo, Acidifying Conditioner, & Shine Cream

If passion and hair care had a baby it would be Color Edge.

Pearl Shampoo:

Made with Jojoba Oil

Designed to remove excess residue, pollutants and DHT build up, to support healthy follicles. Jojoba Oil filled beads leave hair silky and soft. Our first Poo infused with Chamomile and Aloe Vera to show your true colors.

As I looked up the benefits that Jojoba Oil has on the hair- I realized that these benefits are AMAZING. Jojoba OIl is much in the same as our own scalp oil (sebum).

As I started using this shampoo, I could immediately tell that the health of my hair was improving vastly. Jojoba Oil works awesome for people who have dry, damaged, or brittle hair.

As a trick I’ve learned over the years- when you wash your hair- you NEED to avoid washing your hair in extremely hot water. It damages the hair because it strips it of it’s natural oils. So washing with the Pearl Shampoo in tepid/warm water for the past couple of weeks has provided amazing results.

If you’re used to using hair products that have a lot of chemicals in them- whether it be hair washing products, hair styling products, or conditioner- you know how weighed down your hair can get. This shampoo helps to wash away all those previous chemicals that have been put into your hair.

I didn’t realize how much my hair was being weighed down by the chemicals in my mousse and hairspray. Even using a regular shampoo that isn’t sulfate free. I didn’t only noticed extra weight, but my hair tended to get oily very quickly.

I was washing my hair almost daily because of how oily it looked. Now I don’t have to worry about that. The Pearl Shampoo takes all those chemicals and washes them down the drain, leaving my hair shiny, soft, manageable and CLEAN.

CLEAN as in- No chemicals, extremely moisturized yet not oily, and SHINY. It also has aloe vera and chamomile as ingredients. I also researched the benefit of both of these- and Oh my- I didn’t know the extent of the benefits that these give hair!

The aloe vera can help assist in hair growth, and it can heal and most of the time cure scalp problems. Chamomile helps to make your hair look naturally healthy, while nourishing and providing moisture.

The shampoo smells amazing; a mixture of cilantro, pineapple, and citrus! YUM. I love the silky texture of the shampoo. It is a yellowish color with tiny little blue beads that you can actually SEE inside the shampoo. The beads are filled with Jojoba oil and the beads burst as you rub the shampoo in! It’s amazing.

BUY IT: You can buy the Color Edge Pearl Shampoo for $7/ 2 ounces, $15/ 12 ounces, $38/ 32 ounces, or $78/ 1 gallon

Acidifying Conditioner

pH 3.15 - 3.50

Formulated with the perfect pH balance to lock in color by sealing the cuticle. One single application is effective (not to mention convenient) enough to defend against aggressive alkaline chemicals and neutralize post–coloring odors. Frizzies beware.

Since I have been using this conditioner with the Pearl Shampoo, I have noticed such a HUGE improvement in the overall texture of my hair. It is astonishing what changing it up can do for you!

This conditioner is astonishing and awe-inspiring because it gave my hair such fantastic body. I think it’s because seals the cuticle of the hair. So not only is it preventing frizz, but it has locked in my color to make it more vibrant.

I had literally JUST colored my hair when I started using the conditioner. It still had that “dye” smell to it. After using this conditioner, it was NO more. No matter what I had tried to do to get rid of it before, didn’t work, I could STILL smell it.

BUY IT: You can buy the Acidifying conditioner for $10/ 6 oz., $16/16 oz., or $30/32 oz.

 

Shine Cream

Made with Almond and Carrot Oil

Blow dry, style, or detangle with this multi-tasking weightless cream. Made with almond and carrot oil to bestow shine even on the dullest tresses, ideal even for fine hair.

I have fallen head over heels in LOVE with this shine cream. It really really makes a difference in the smoothness and shininess in my hair. I can blow-dry my hair, rub a small dab on my hair and it lasts all day.

The main thing that separates this from other anti-frizz like creams is this doesn’t really have an oily feeling to it. It feels more like a lotion/conditioner that you rub in your hair.

It’s such a creamy consistency that is basically weightless. It is absolutely perfect for my naturally oily hair.! It smells amazing and is the light blue color that you see in the picture above. 

I love to use this before blow-drying and straightening, because it makes my long hair more manageable! I truly truly LOVE this!

BUY IT: You can buy the Color Edge Shine Cream for $15/6 oz. or $28/12 oz.

Beyond the Beauty- Prestige Pro Straightener Review

I was sent 2 items from Beyond the Beauty, but I am going to review the items separately! The first item is the Prestige Pro Straightener with Tourmaline Ceramic Plates.

Reaching 235 Celsius the pro prestige is our hottest iron yet. Variable temperature control tourmaline ceramic plate. It infuses negative ions into the hair to eliminate static and frizz. Infrared technology seals moisture and essential oils into the hair. It gentle heats each hair from within without drying out the hair.

It is perfect for creating sleek, straight finishes that protects the cuticles. This results in faster styling and moisture rich, healthy looking hair!

The Prestige Pro has a sleek and sophisticated design that was made to be lightweight and comfortable to use.

Our 1" tourmaline ceramic plates was made to be multi purpose for easier straightening and curling.

Prestige Pro features:

* On/Off switch

* Swivel cord

* Temperature control up to 450 F°

* Multi-purpose design for straightening and curling hair

* Sleek and sophisticated design that was made to be lightweight and comfortable to use.

* Tourmaline ceramic plates that disperse the right amount of heat.

* Tourmaline ceramic plates that locks in hair's natural oils and prevents damaging the hair.

* Lifetime Manufacture Warranty.

You plug in the straightener and set the desired temperature. The plates heat up in less than one minute.

To straighten your hair, just take a section and make sure the section isn't too thick.

You can also use a hair clip to put aside the upper half of your hair so you can work on the bottom half first.

Start straightening from your roots (not at the scalp) and slowly work your way down to the tips. Repeat as many times as you wish for the look you desire! Straightening your hair too quickly will only waste your time and energy.

This straightener is lightweight, so it is easy to take anywhere you wish to go. It is small enough to fit inside a travel case, but it comes with it’s own travel box that will easily fit inside a larger purse or a duffel bag.

The designs on the box are absolutely genius and very modern and pretty. I love that they took the time to make sure that the packaging had wonderful designs on it. It open up to hold the straightener and has magnetic pieces inside so that it clamps together without your straightener falling out.

Inside the box, it shows you the directions of carefully handling the straightener without burning yourself, or hurting yourself in other ways. For example, Don’t use beside the bathtub, make sure that the straightener is unplugged after you use it, and do not leave down so kids can get a hold of it.

I love that it heats up extremely fast. I have had other straighteners that took up to 5-7 minutes to get all the way hot. This takes up time, and when I am in a rush it would leave me flustered. With this straightener, I can plug it up, brush my hair, and when I’m done, the straightener is ready to go.

I always put the top half of my hair up in a hair tie, so it makes it easier to get smaller parts of my hair. If you try to straighten it too fast, or straighten strands too thick- it isn’t going to work like you want it too. Even though you have to straighten hair in smaller pieces, it still doesn’t take very long for me to get the job done and my hair is long.

I love how my hair looks so healthy and moisturized even after straightening it. Most straighteners scorched or pulled my hair. This one is nothing but the best.

I straighten my hair everyday (just about) and needed a straightener that wasn’t going to burn or dry out my hair. Most straighteners would smoke and leave my hair dull and dry feeling after awhile. My hair looks and feels healthier than ever before!

I don’t like straighteners that catch my hair in the plates and rip it out or break it up. This didn’t! Never once did I have an issue with my hair getting caught in the plates!

(First Day)

This keeps my hair shiny, soft, with no frizz (Even in the sweltering heat of the summer). I can wake up the next day and just brush it and go. Even 2 days later it’s still manageable, but I have to wash it and re-do it because my hair is naturally oily.!

(Second Day) AND WINDBLOWN and not brushed after)!

I am very amazed with this straightener and LOVE that they have different color choices. They have pink, black, and purple!

Not only does it work AMAZINGLY well, but it cut my straightening time in half. Before using this I was spending almost 45 minutes straightening, and now it doesn’t even take me 20 minutes!

I’m in LOVE and would definitely recommend this straightener.
