Whether it's a busy schedule, sickness, or after a workout that keeps you from your normal shampooing, there are times when you simply are unable to do it.  However, I was sent some wonderful Oscar Blandi products to review that can help you out of that horrible hair feeling.

I purposely left my hair unwashed for a few days complete with styling products to test how Oscar Blandi's Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo would work on my hair.  Holding the can about six inches away from my head, I sprayed the product thoroughly over my head, concentrating on my scalp and roots.  This goes on clear and has a nice lemon scent to it with a refreshing cool feel once you work it in.

I wasn't sure how well a water free shampoo would clean all that residue left behind from styling products.  According to the label, this product uses gentle starches to absorb the oil and remove that build-up while Vitamin E and wheat proteins fortify and protect those fragile strands.

After I let the sprayed shampoo dry, I fluffed my hair with my fingers to shake out the excess powder.  Once done, I grabbed my brush and worked at my hair to get rid of the remaining traces of the shampoo. 

My dry hair did look cleaner and fluffed up again with gleaming vitality.  I liked how soft it felt without any greasy or stickiness to it as well.  I honestly was surprised that my hair could look this nice without traditional water and shampoo.  Nonetheless, it did and I was thrilled to have found a reliable product when the conventional form of shampooing is ruled out.

Although my hair had some gloss to it, I wanted to see what their multi-tasking Oscar Blandi Pronto Instant Glossing Cream could do.  Besides the promise of more gloss, this product I learned fights frizz with silicones and saves hair from heat damage from styling tools or the sun.  I worked a small amount through my hair before pulling out my curling iron to style.  This stuff was like the cherry on a sundae for how it topped the overall beauty of my hair as it conditioned and made it hold onto the curl better while intensifying that shine.   

The next day I washed my hair and used my normal shampoo to test if the Pronto Instant Glossing Cream would work any differently.  While my hair was still damp,  I applied some and dried before styling my hair in the same way.  Again, I was deeply impressed with how extra glossy and luxurious my hair felt thanks to this formula with kertain proteins and Pro-Vitamin B5.

I definitely recommend both of these Oscar Blandi products because they are great hair saviors.  So do pick them up and stop worrying because your hair will still look great regardless of  the circumstances!

Oscar Blandi Volumizing Styling Essentials Products Review

Finding the right styling products can be a challenge at times.  After all, there are so many great companies and new products to choose from that at times it can become baffling.  Then again, dear readers, you have me to volunteer my head for hair styling experimentation like with these Oscar Blandi Styling Essentials so I can share my findings with you to help you make a better informed decision!

As I explained in prior reviews, I do not think volumizing styling products are only intended for those with baby fine hair.  On the contrary, I think most people can benefit, especially if they have some layering and a bit of curl in their hair like mine to really see the wonders of what these products can do.  Trust me, but volumizing products can be your hair's new best friends if only you give them a chance.

Oscar Blandi's Hair Lift Instant Thickening & Strengthening Serum was what I applied first to my freshly washed hair while it was still damp.  This product was a Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Awards Winner of 2011 with special deep moisturizing properties from sodium hyaluronate and the use of marine glycogen for plumping up hair.  I only used the recommended dime-size amount of this product before any styling product like the Volumizing Spray, which I followed with next to further nourish hair with wheat protein, sea kelp, panthenol (Vitamin B5), and castor oil, aloe vera, and sea algae. 

The directions for the Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray call for spraying directly on the root.  However, I have some natural curl and waves and found I had better results when spraying slightly higher than advised with the angles and behavior of my hair.  I tried to evenly distribute what I applied by combing it through my hair before I dried.

The heat from my blow dryer turned on that Oscar Blandi magic.  My hair felt so silky soft with fuller curls and such incredible gloss that you kept wanting to turn and watch it catch the light in your mirror at every angle.  

When your hair is as beautiful as this, you want that look to last.  Therefore, I went for my Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray for Volume, Hold, and Shine and sprayed.  Instead of choking hair spray fumes, I discovered the pleasant scent of honeysuckle in a formula that was free of any harmful CFC's.  I had no hard, tacky touch from this hairspray, but nice, moveable hold that lasted throughout my day.  This remarkable formula  uses sugar, honey, and vitamins E and B5 to keep hair soft without any static or flyaway hair problem.
