I decided to make a post on the current hair care products I have been using on my hair on a daily basis. For work I tend to just wear my hair up in a pony tail so it is out of the way and I do not have to worry about it, I work in a Medical office so this is easiest for me in the mornings and through out the day. On the weekends if I am doing something fun or going somewhere I will wear it down and straighten it.
Back in September of last year my hair dresser introduced me to a new line of hair care products called SOJOURN, which I had never heard of before. She used the product in my hair that day and gave me a couple of samples and I purchased a full size product called “Serum Smooth” ($24.00 US)
On the Sojourn web site here is what they say about the Serum Smooth:
OVERVIEW
Sojourn Serum Smooth restores vitality to even the most dry and damaged hair. This weightless smoothing serum erases split ends, fly-aways and frizzies giving maximum shine and protection to any style for a perfectly polished and finished look.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Restores vitality to dry, damaged hair
- Erases split ends, fly aways, and frizz while giving maximum shine
- Apply to damp or dry hair
My hair tends to get frizzy and have fly aways (which I HATE!) So that is why I decided to give this product a go, and I LOVE it! I use it every day before I blow dry my hair and it helps wonders!!! Not only does it help to tame the fly aways and the frizziness but it also makes my hair smooth and shiny…healthy looking.
When I went back in December to have my hair done again I decided to give another product from this line a go- the “Leave-In Detangler Spray” from the smooth line ($22.00 US) I also placed an order for the shampoo and conditioner. I really wanted the smooth line but my hair dresser told me they no longer had that in the combination holiday pack (which came with a wooden paddle bristle brush and a tester of the Leave-In Detangler spray plus the shampoo and conditioner) so I decided to order the moisture line instead and give it a try…it would take a week or two to arrive at the salon though so I had to wait for those.
On the Sojourn web site here is what they say about the Leave-In Detangler Spray:
OVERVIEW
Sojourn Leave-In Detangler instantly releases tangles and knots, smoothes and conditions hair making it the perfect cutting and styling lotion. Fortified with Keratin cashmere protein and Cystine this soothing complex locks in colour and helps to maintain the hair’s natural pH. Extra UV protection shields colour-treated, permed or relaxed hair from sun damage.
HIGHLIGHTS
- pH 4.5 — 5.5
- Excellent cutting lotion
- Instantly removes tangles and knots while conditioning hair
- Keratin Cashmere, Cystine, and UV protection to lock in colour
I have to admit I FELL IN LOVE instantly!!!! This product does wonders for my hair! After towel drying my medium length hair I tend to get knots and tangles and sometimes have to force them out with my comb….but when I spray a little of this all over my hair, concentrating on the ends I no longer have to do that! This product makes it easy for my comb to slide through my hair without effort and without any tangles or knots! I use this daily on towel dried hair, followed by a pump or two of the Serum Smooth.
About 2-3 weeks later I went back into my hair dressers to pick up my moisture shampoo and conditioner pack.
Here is what the Sojourn web site says about the Moisture Shampoo ($25.00 US):
OVERVIEW
Sojourn Shampoo Moisture uses our exclusive blend of protein rich Keratin cashmere and Cystine to penetrate essential amino acid nutrients deep into the hair’s cuticle, maximize hydration and restore the hair’s luster. The low pH formulation (4.5-5.5) aids in closing the cuticle to restructure chemical bonds and return hair to its natural state for clean, beautiful, shiny, healthy-looking hair that is silky soft to the touch, yet manageable.
HIGHLIGHTS
- pH 4.5 – 5.5
- Exclusive blend of Keratin Cashmere and Cystine
- Maximizes hydration and restores hair’s luster
Here is what the web site says about the Moisture Conditioner ($26.00 US):
OVERVIEW
Sojourn Conditioner Moisture is infused with our exclusive Keratin cashmere protein and Cystine amino acid to prevent breakage and split ends, soften and smooth wet or dry hair styles. The low pH (4.5-5.5) and lightweight formula works to close the cuticle and repair damage for a superior conditioning treatment that restores natural smoothness and shine to the hair without weighing it down.
HIGHLIGHTS
- pH 4.5 – 5.5
- Infused with Keratin Cashmere and Cystine amino acid
- Prevents breakage and split ends to soften and smooth hair
I used the shampoo and conditioner the next day, and I was very pleased with it. I had been using Redken products but was eager for a change…and this was just what my hair needed! It works great along with the Leave-In Detangler spray and the Serum Smooth. My hair looks healthy, smoother, more shiny, feels soft and feels healthy! I am pleased with this product line and all the product I have tried so far. Next on my list is to try out the Smooth shampoo and conditioner once I run out of the moisture ones.
Have any of you ever heard of this line before? Tried it out? If not you should! It is not available in stores but is available online and at some salons, I definitely recommend getting your hands on some of the products from this line and trying them out for yourself.
Another product I use on my hair AFTER I blow dry it…to add a glossy touch and smooth the little fly aways that are left without making my hair look oily with the serum is a product by OSCAR BLANDI called ” Pronto Gloss Instant Glossing Cream” which I purchased from ULTA ($21.00 US)
Here is what the ULTA web site says about the Instant Glossing Cream:
