I’m pretty hardcore when it comes to testing out hair conditioners. If one claims detangle, it better get every single tangle out of my hair or it goes in the trash. One that surprised me with its great detangling ability and price is KLORANE’s Conditioning Balm with Mango Butter ($14/5.07oz @ ulta.com). As JJ Walker would say, “d-y-n-o-m-i-t-e!” This one contains two key ingredients, Mink Oil and mango butter, which nourish your hair and scalp AND somehow magically get every tangle out.

And this one doesn’t take 20 or 30 minutes to work. Simply towel dry your hair, apply a small and wait 2 to 3 minutes and rinse. Big recommendation.

Let’s get serious about facial moisturizers. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Do I look older than I should?” What you need are some miracle creams. I mean, they are and will always be, a serious business and we’re in the depth of when skin needs a good one most. Here’s two that have us shaking in our boots with excitement.

3LAB “M” Cream ($250/2oz @ 3lab.com) – contains stem cells from a rare Swiss apple to slow down the aging process of stressed out skin. It also contains the world’s first bioengineered growth hormone-like product, that works as “a hormone replacement therapy,” that substitutes what is loss in the skin as we age. Makes sense.

ADORAGE Retinol Cream ($150/1oz @ adoragemd.com)  - this one combines retinols and glycolic acid to put collagen production into overdrive. This one also works on lightening brown spots, preventing acne and contains nourishing antioxidants to balance the skin.

I always use a shampoo made for color treated hair but how about one made to not only support but enhance your hair color? AVEDA Vintage Clove Shampoo ($10/8oz @ aveda.com) is made for those with brunette and honey blonde tones. The formula is infused with organically grown clove and coffee, which I’m assuming since they are both brown, are perfect for these tones!

And did you know this was the first product ever created for the Aveda line 30 years ago? Quality never goes outta style.
