Pureology Hydrate Shampoo, Conditioner and HydraCure Review + GIVEAWAY!--Ends July 5, 2011

This system returns moisture for dry, damaged hair.

Color-treated hair often is more vulnerable to the sun, blow-dryers, styling tools, and other chemical process than virgin hair.   If you are not careful, you can lose that luster and turn that beautiful hair into straw.  However, Pureology has the perfect solution to return the moisture and brilliance to your abused hair with products from their beauty award nominated Hydrate line.

I was sent their Hydrate Shampoo, Conditioner and HydraCure Intense Moisture Hair Masque to test for this review and giveaway.  My color treated hair felt more brittle to touch after I spent a weekend outdoors in the sun at the flea market.  I did a stupid thing and forgot to wear a hat.  Fortunately, the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner helped soften and care for my hard hair without any sulfates while treating me to some aromatheraphy even before I experimented with the Hydrate HydraCure! 

With such dramatic improvement, it is easy to understand why Hydrate products are nominated as best shampoo and conditioner (the light version) in their class for the 7th Natural Health Beauty Awards 2011 with their organic botanicals, multiweight protein complex, and advanced hydrating micro-emulsion technology.

Later I tried the Hydrate HydraCure Intense Moisture Hair Masque to see what other amazing feat Pureology could do to top the Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner.  Let me tell you that my hair never looked or felt more healthy or beautiful than after using this luxurious rich blend of shea, jojoba, mango, and avocado butters. 

Their Hydrate line has to be my favorite Pureology group of products that I tested so far.  If you want pretty, soft hair again, then you need to try this line on your own hair.  Honestly, you will love what these products can do for you.

Vote for Pureology in the 7th Natural Health Beauty Awards 2011 and also be entered to win $350 worth of the top 24 best products of the year!

New Pureology Colour Stylist Collection Review and Giveaway!--March 30, 2011

*Disclaimer:  This is my own, honest opinion.  No money was exchanged.  All I received was free product so that I may express an opinion.*

When I received the six products of Pureology Colour Stylist collection to review, I just had to try them out on my freshly colored hair.  I was curious how a new strengthening anti-fade complex enhanced with Keravis protein would work to protect my treated hair from anti-breakage while also keeping the color, condition, shine, and hold the way I liked for my style.

My first experiment was with the Colour Stylist Fortifying Heat Spray, which I applied to my still damp washed hair before adding some Colour Stylist Silk Bodifier, a Voluminizing Mousse to the layers around my face and ends. 

For my side swept bangs, I tried the Colour Stylist Nourishing Nectar, Sculpting Gel, which was awesome for increased control and extra radiance with a mirror-like shine from the reflective lipid extracts when I added just a touch of Colour Stylist Cuticle Polisher, the Shine Serum, and worked some into them.  My bangs tend to grown downward and need a heavy duty product to keep them out of my face and this sculpting gel was advertised for firmer type hold than the mousse. 

After I blew and styled my hair, I loved how full my hair looked and yet soft without that sticky feeling of products.  Also, I liked how my dark hair picked up light every time I turned my head, gleaming now like dark shards of glass.   Even my bangs with the heavier sculpting gel managed to keep them in place and side swept, which is a feat for most products I use and did this miracle feat without stiffness and stickiness for that type of control. 

I finished styling with the Colour Stylist Strengthening Control, Zero Dulling Hairspray. What impressed me about this product was the firm control without feeling any hardness.  My hair had movement, but a nice soft, flexible hold that left my shine brilliant.

The next day I tried the Colour Stylist AntiSplit Blow Dry, a Styling Cream, which gave me a softer hold than the Voluminizing Mousse while adding moisture and shine to my hair as I dried. 

For what ever type hair you have, this Colour Stylist line is worth checking out for gorgeous hair with olive oil to repair, camelina oil to enhance colour and protect against humidity, and coriander oil for that intense shimmering power!

Thanks to Pureology, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader will win a full size Colour Stylist AntiSplit Blow Dry Styling Cream ($28 value).
