In Collaboration with Tropicos Beauty/ Philip B / Shehair hair extensions.

Philip B hair care line.

I can’t wait to tell you about the forever shine Shampoo and Conditioner from Philip B after being utterly obsessed with their dry shampoo & detangling spray. In addition, this lovely line provides the hair with volume, shine and a glamorous scent that goes on for several days.

As part of its botanical system, made with natural Safflower Oleosomess which releases their contents as they come into contact with hair, they deliver emollient oil and Vitamin E to the hair over time for long-lasting moisture, glossiness, and bounce.

This line is paraben-free and color & keratin treatment safe with that said, it works fantastic on my own hair and also hair-extensions leaving them ready for the next steps of my hair routine.

You already know my love for big and glamorous curls and this styling gel is amazing to keep the curls on the place and also bring texture, definition, and body.

It also contains vitamin B, which gives the hair loads of shine and strengt, it also enhances body and texture and gives definition and control to all hair types.

I hope you might consider these in case you’ve been looking to refresh your hair care routine!

I still remember almost perfectly the first time I wanted to dye my hair. I had fifteen years old and my mom didn’t allow me to go through the process of dyeing it “because you’ll regret it later”, she said. On that moment and because I was a very immature teenager, I got pretty mad at the whole situation.
I couldn’t understand how dyes and chemicals could torture your hair no matter how thick, strong and healthy it is, and even though my genes have been pretty generous to me, I still have to deal with some damaged caused by styling tools and highlights and the sun during the spring and winter time.

This is when I got introduced to Kerastase Soleil , a line of hair products made to take care of damaged hair and helps to nourish the hair while protecting against the drying effects of the sun, chlorine and salt water.

The coconut water and babassu oil are ingredientes known for their hair performing qualities, it revives parched hair, damaged by heat, dyes and the environment. The formula is made to suit all hair types and you’ll find it will hydrate yours without losing volume, leaving you with silky soft, amazing hair.

My favorite part about the whole serie is the mask; it's so easy is to apply, which can be during your shower routine in 10 minutes or as a rinse-off mask in 20 minutes. Because my scalp is somewhat oily, I concentrate mainly from the middle to the end, so the mask treats my split ends while taming the frizz perfectly, leaving my hair silky for three days between washes with no need of applying more product.

With summer’s sun fading, I started to consider a color transition for fall.
I had to ask for some advice from my talented hairdresser Kim at Tropicos Beauty, who is used to hearing golden-haired girls wanting to go darker with the switch of the seasons.
He gave me his professional advice and little secrets to keep my mane healthy through the autumn and I'll be sharing them with you!

Going from blonde to a darker color is already a big change that's why an all-over color is a big No, No -
Kim left some floating highlights; adding a few highlights around the face and through the ends will soften up the look and accentuate the haircut. Ask your hairdresser for floating highlights as you won't really see where they begin; it's a smooth transition from the base.
Big plus if you also have black hair like me.

It's very important to choose a hair color that works well with your skin tone and makeup regimen.
Use Pinterest for inspiration, ask your hairdresser for help and their professional opinion to achieve the best results.

To prevent the color from fading and to keep your mane looking fresh, you’ve got to put in work.
Be kind to your hair and limit the number of times you wash your hair each week, keep blow-drying and straightening to a minimum and use professional haircare for the best results.

Damaged hair is something that we all deal with at some point in our lives.
Spending too much time in the sun, brushing your hair when it’s wet, dying it and the overuse of hot tools are just a few major factors that could be traumatizing your mane.

Here are my hair heroes after coloring and exposing it to sun & ocean water through the summer.

Shu Uemura Ultimate Remedy is specially made for damaged and really dry hair.
The whole line provides with a high level of care, It deeply restores, brings softness, and strength.

- Before drying my hair I apply the duo Serum and Thermo BB cream.
Kim recommended this BB cream to me because of the thickness and damage of my hair.
This product is a multi-benefit blow dry cream that provides heat protection, texture, moisturizes without any heaviness and the coolest of all, it shapes and REshapes any look!
- Also use an oil if you hair is really dry and needs extra love! Use 2 pumps before drying your hair or before going to sleep.
