Summer Smoothers




The Battle of the Summer Smoothers

Everyone needs a good summer product to tame frizz and control flyaways. We feature two great product lines at Intermezzo Salon.
Kevin Murphy is from Australia and Davines is from Italy.

When appropriate, I use Kevin Murphy’s “Leave-in Luxury”, “Body Guard”, and “Easy Rider”. First up is a “leave-in” conditioner. I also use it as a great, lightweight styling product for blowouts, or flat ironing. “Leave-in Luxury” will enhance curly or straight hair while it hydrates conditions, and most importantly controls frizz! Second, “Body Guard” is a very lightweight smoother, for fine hair. It will protect against heat damage as well. And if you are both, a little bit country AND a little bit rock-n-roll, “Easy Rider” will tempt your product palate. This line is not for lack of attractive packaging too, in a good way. And, Kevin Murphy is a very environmentally conscious product line using CFC “buyback” programs, recyclable bottles, and sustainable business practices.

Davines on the other hand boasts their Defining line. http://www.davines.com/home.html
Defining Relaxing Fluid is a powerhouse smoother with a lightweight touch. It smoothes, shines, and protects. This product contains high quality silicones to tame your hair and add brilliance. And it contains extracts that hydrate and replenish your hair. Another smoother and flyaway buster, which fits in your purse, is MOMO Anti-aging daily cream. Like hand lotion for your hair, this elixir is best applied to dry hair. This makes it a great "on the go smoother". With walnut extract and jojoba oil, it also protects your hair from sun and pollution.

With summer temperatures, and humid environments, products can make a big difference. Even if you break down and pull back a pony, and call it quits, a little hairspray never hurt. Davines Defining Invisible Hair Spray is my favorite. With cucumber extract it moisturizes and hydrates. In addition, it’s a workable hairspray that does not build up, and resists humidity.

Rest assured there is a product and solution to any frizz and flyaway combo you can dream up. No more nightmares, visit me at Intermezzo Salon and Spa for a free consultation and styling treatment recommendation, and make your summer silky, soft and smooth.
