Every month, Pretty.Smart gives us affordable and easy to use tips on how to help look and feel our best. Last month, Pretty.Smart focused on fragrances on how they can help improve your mood and make you feel better. This month, Pretty.Smart is giving all the scoop on hair essentials.
Just this week, I had a great hair day. You know those days when you barely have to do any styling to your hair and it just looks fabulous. All I did was blow dry and go. No complicated straightening or a whole cabinet full of hair products.
As a mom, I’m always on the go. There is barely time to shower, let alone primp and style for hours. So I was interested to watch the video over at Pretty.Smart which gave 4 easy on the go hair styles. These will be perfect for summer.
Every overwhelmed in the hair care product aisle? Never fear, Pretty.Smart is here to help. You can download a free brochure which tells you the essential products, hair care tools, and easy step by step styling instructions.
The products recommended are from the Dove Intensive Repair line, which at $4.97 are a smart buy.
- Dove Intensive Repair shampoo and conditioner with Fiber Active Technology helps reconstruct hair from the inside to make it more beautiful on the outside.
- Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner has the Fiber Active Technology as well as built in Micro Moisture Serum to help seal the cuticle and smooth the hair on the outside.
How would you like to try the Dove Intensive Repair line for yourself? I have a Dove Intensive Repair Gift Package along with the book The Chic Mom’s Guide written by the host of Pretty.Smart – Nina Sutton.

June 29, 2010 at 7:55 amIt is cool site.Thanks so much. Wow your hair sounds pretty long. I have a very low maintenance to my hair.Sometimes i will straighten it if i feel like it but i don’t use heat tools often. The combing advice was also helpful.

May 17, 2010 at 8:53 amWell, I like the fast hairdo tips but I wish they had some tips on how to deal with my superfine hair. It won’t stay in clips, I can’t put it up in anyway except a ponytail holder or, if I do it when it is wet, a small banana type clip.

May 15, 2010 at 4:56 pmWatching the healthy hair video, there were several general tips that we need to eat healthy to have healthy hair from inside the hair shaft … drink lots of fluids et cetra. One of the specific tips I don’t remember ever hearing elsewhere was that we should brush our hair before we shampoo to reduce breakage afterwards.
