We’ve been through this discussion before about shaving, waxing, nairing and any other ritual we can think of that will remove unwanted hair as easy and painless as possible. Well I was watching The Today Show this morning and Lou Manfredini (a contributor)reviewed upcoming products at the 2008 International Home and Houseware Show. One item that got my attention was a product from Emjoi that claims you will only have to shave your legs every 4 to 6 weeks and it’s virtually painless. The electric unit uses about 72 tweezers that removes hair by pulling rather than shaving. We’ve all heard of the Epilady, but still to this day I have horrible flashbacks from using it, so I will give Emjoi a try.

I practically shudder at the image of using one, but since it’s “virtually painless” let’s see. It’s also better for the environment since come summer I normally discard quite a lot of razors.

Cost: $119.00

As someone who has naturally fine, wavy hair, I’m on a constant quest to find that perfect product that will take my hair from limp and lifeless to full and voluminous and luckily, I’ve finally found that product in Jonathan Product Create Root Volume Brushable Lifting Spray. This aerosol root volumizing spray adds body and volume and provides a strong, brushable hold while maintaing style - even in high humidity. I spray it at the roots of my bangs for a hold that lasts all day long with out making my hair sticky or greasy. Both products also have thermal and UV filters to protect against color fading and damage from heat styling- truly impressive!

Cost: $28.

I was skeptical at first about Ted Gibson’s Hair Sheets because really, why would you need to rub down your hair? To my surprise, this treatment is easy to apply and contains ingredients that replace lost protein, inhibit moisture-loss, increase the strength of hair and even also provide environmental protection.

Cost: $35

I’ve found another great shampoo and condition for those of you that demand good quality and have to have a color preserving product. Wella Color Preserve Shampoo and Conditioner was recommended to me by another product reviewer and she couldn’t say enough about it. To put things into perspective she used to use Pureolgy which is a great shampoo, but so expensive. I checked out the online reviews as well and most people gave it 5 stars.

So onto my experience with the shampoo & conditioner. I bought it about 3 days ago and I’ve used it twice since then and so far it’s a great shampoo that gives me incredible shine. It’s relatively inexpensive for salon quality and you can buy it just about anywhere. It comes in a red bottle and smells ok. The smell is nice, but nothing to write home about. On the flip side I don’t ever see myself getting sick of it either. Which happens to be a lot. Overall I have to say it’s in my top two favorite shampoo’s and conditioners.

Cost: $12.99 for the shampoo and $ 13.99 for the conditioner.
