Beautiful hair needs an expert: Carol's Daughter Hair Milk

I guess I'm still mourning the end of "Girlfriends" (yes, another post with Tracee Ellis Ross) - cancelled without a proper finale, a proper farewell. I'm left not knowing if "Joan Carol Clayton" played by Tracee Ellis Ross, ever finds her true love...but such is Hollywood. At any rate, I love Tracee Ellis Ross' hair! It always looks so healthy and full of life- and because she wears it natural, she easily transitions from full, curly styles to straight, sleek looks.

To keep her hair thoroughly moisturized, I suggest Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. It contains soy oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and lemongrass oil which all work to condition, strengthen, moisturize, soften and protect the hair. I'm also recommending the Rosemary Mint Herbal Shampoo because it conditions and detangles and the Mimosa Hair Honey for it's ability to control frizzy hair and add shine.

Have you tried Carol's Daughter products?

Beautiful hair needs an expert: No Frizz by Living Proof

For those of you who constantly deal with frizzy hair, you'll want to consider trying No Frizz by Living Proof. "Straight Making" and "Wave Shaping/Curl Defining" are styling aids which were developed "to do what silicones can't: eliminate frizz by blocking humidity". I love the fact that these products have a formulation for your specific hair type: fine to medium hair, medium to thick hair and thick to coarse hair.

You all know that I advise on using products for your specific hair, skin or nail needs/issues and so the fact that these products are broken down by hair type and need, makes them worth trying! They are available beginning February 2009 and because I love Tracee Ellis Ross' hair so much I'm recommending this line for her!

Beautiful hair needs an expert: Ellin LaVar PenetratingBalm

I've been testing out Ellin Lavar Textures' PenetratingBalm and I highly recommend it for dry, coarse and naturally curly hair. My hair falls into the 4b hair type category, so my natural hair is thick and coarse. This is a great moisturizing leave-in conditioner, that helps to detangle and soften hair. After using this, I found my hair to be very manageable and easy to section off for blow-drying.

The texture of the PenetratingBalm is somewhat thick and very creamy, and a little goes a long way. This would also be a good moisturizing styling aid for those of you with dry, naturally curly hair. It's formulated with an oil from the seeds of Brazil's passion-flower fruit called Maracuja. This oil works to nourish the hair, which is very important during this dry winter season, and it works to control frizz and keep curls shiny and defined.

I'm recommending that Tracee Ellis Ross use this to nourish and hydrate her naturally curly hair and I'm recommending this for you as well! Questions? Did anyone see Ellin's reality show "Hair Trauma" on WE TV? If so, what did you think?

I Love Her Hair!

I love Tracee Ellis Ross aka "Joan Carol Clayton" on "Girlfriends", and I love her hair! Get her look with my favorite products:

Cleanse the hair using Davines LOVE Smoothing Shampoo. While cleansing the hair, it works to smooth and soften the hair while adding back moisture.

Treat the hair using the Davines LOVE Smoothing Conditioner. It's special blend of conditioners leaves the hair soft and shiny while smoothing the hair's cuticle and bringing the hair back to it's normal pH. Next, spray hair with the Davines Dede Replenishing Leave-In Mist Conditioner.
