Brazilian Blowout Haircare Collection Review

I am sure you have heard about the Brazilian Blowout that is all the rage with celebrity's. Rather then your typical hair straightening treatment that leaves your hair super straight, the Brazilian Blowout leaves your hair full of volume and body but without the frizzies and flyaways. You are left with beautifully manageable hair for up to 12 weeks. You can wear your hair wavy or curly, or you can even go super sleek with the help of just your blowdryer, no brush or flat iron needed.  And with Brazilian Blowout hair products you can even get frizz free, shiny, and effortlessly manageable hair without heading to the salon. They also have a line of aftercare products if you decide to visit a Brazilian Blowout salon near you.

All products are specially formulated to promote frizz-free, healthy hair; while delivering stick straight tresses, added definition, increased shine, or a boost in volume.

Even though I have never received a Brazilian Blowout in-salon treatment I did receive two products from their aftercare line for review. The aftercare line is designed to help extend the life of your professional smoothing treatment.

Brazilian Blowout aftercare products infuse the hair with an exclusive blend of native smoothing and sealing properties incorporated into a proprietary Brazilian Super-Nutrient Complex. This complex allows for a continual and cumulative smoothing effect to occur while the hair is washed and styled in between professional treatments. 

The two products I received are the Acai Smoothing Serum and Acai Deep Conditioning Masque.

The Acai Smoothing Serum is meant to be used daily. You apply a small amount on towel dry hair after washing and leave in and style as usual. I tried this on my hair and initially thought it felt a little too heavy and I was concerned it would leave my fair feeling greasy. After blowdrying my hair I was surprised at how soft and straight my hair was. Typically if I want to get super straight hair I pull out my flat iron. I did not need to do this when using this serum. I even let my mom try it out and she was super impressed. This is an awesome product.

The Acai Deep Masque is meant to be used twice a week. You apply on wet hair and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes and then rinse out. This stuff is like the mother of all hair conditioners. In fact I have stopped using a daily conditioner and only apply this twice a week and love how soft my hair is. These products are really great top quality, I can only imagine how impressed I would be after going in for a professional Brazilian Blowout treatment.

I am curious to hear if any of you have ever had a salon Brazilian Blowout? Leave me a comment if you have and tell me about your experience.

I was given the opportunity to review these brushes and let me tell you how grateful I was. You see, before I received these I had been using the same brush for the past, well, let's just say many years. I know right? I have to tell you I love these brushes. Not only are they so much nicer then my previous hairbrush but I now have several brushes to switch from to achieve the look I am going for. I even found a brush that is perfect for my daughter Penelope's straight long hair, that doesn't pull and maker her cry every time I brush it.

This is the brush that works great at brushing the knots out of little Penelope's hair and leaves it smooth and silky. Man, do I wish I had her hair!

Tooth Tissue Review

Tooth Tissues

Dental Wipes

Our children's teeth are very important but we usually wait until our child is a toddler before ewe introduce them to a toothbrush. What about babies? Well there are a few products out there but I was especially interested in finding out about Tooth Tissues. Tooth Tissues are a simple way to wipe down your babies teeth as soon as the first little one pops up.

Tooth Tissues are disposable textured dental wipes specially designed to help remove plaque from your baby and toddler’s teeth and gums. Tooth Tissues are perfect for busy new parents eager to get their child off to a healthy start. Use Tooth Tissues with confidence! They are N.P.A. certified, natural, fluoride-free, paraben-free, and contain xylitol.

From the ADA

A Reminder to Parents: Early Dental Visits Essential to Children's Health

• Begin oral care early. Wipe the baby's gums with a wet washcloth or a clean gauze pad after each feeding.
• Babies and toddlers should finish their nap time and bedtime bottles before going to bed. Never allow your baby or toddler to fall asleep with a bottle containing milk, formula, fruit juices or sweetened liquids OR a pacifier dipped in sugar or honey.

I have found that these Tooth Tissues are very useful. I started by using them with my son who is 19 months. He has a tooth brush but he likes playing with it more then using it. So the Tooth Tissues are great to use on him after meals or before bed. Plus because the tissues come in a small pack small they  fits in my purse nice and I can use them when we are out after every feeding. I have even used them on my daughter who is 4 when we have been out all day and she hasn't brushed her teeth.

These are great! I think that every mom should have these on hand. In addition these are great for those long days when your child falls asleep before brushing. You can easily wipe their teeth clean without wakening them up.
