The New Man in My Life - Oscar Blandi

Shh, don't tell Chris. Oh don't worry, the new man in my life is just a hair stylist who I've never met...but his products are really doing a number on my hair...in a good way! I just realized that I've started quite the collection of Oscar Blandi products - and decided to learn a little about the man behind the gorgeous hair. Apparently he's Italian and always uses ingredients that remind him of Italy in his products - like Jasmine Oil and Eucalyptus (I didn't know those were particularly Italian). Anyway, I love his stuff and since Sephora's return policy has bolstered my confidence about trying new things, I've accumulated quite a few items from his line (the problem is that they are so good I don't return them!).

First of all, there's the dry shampoo. We've talked about it before...it's magic.


Before I discovered the dry shampoo I got the "Trattamento al Fango" (I'm getting so Italian) - it's a marine mud mask...for your hair. I use it as a deep conditioner about once a week and first of all - I'd just use it because it's amazing smell - but it also revitalizes my poor fried ends.


Next I tried the Proteine di Jasmine Protein Mist for Restyling Hair - this is great for the days I don't wash my hair, I use the dry shampoo on the roots and the restyling mist on the ends and it seems to protect the ends from the additional damage of getting flat ironed again and freshens everything up. No one liked stale hair.








Last night I picked up the Jasmine Oil Hair Serum - the stuff is great! I put it on the length of my hair and put my mousse on the roots and it just smoothes everything out, protects it when I'm styling it and leaves it so soft and manageble all day. The stuff is dang expensive but since I used literally three drops today, I think it'll last a long time. Gosh, I've bought a lot of hair stuff lately. At least I'm spreading it out over like 6 months. Anyway, next time you're ready to try a new hair product and spend a little more - go to Sephora and check out their Oscar Blandi selection. And hey, if you don't like it, you can always take it back!
