Schwarzkopf BC BonaCure hairtherapy cell perfector products

Hi Ladies & Gents,


Today on my blog I have two items that were sent to me for review from the Schwarzkopf line and its the new range called BONACURE.
This new range of hair care has six area's of focus to help get your hair to natural perfection, which are

  • Moisture Kick
  • Repair Rescue
  • Color Freeze
  • Smooth Perfect
  • Volume Boost 
  • Time Restore


The two items I received are Color Freeze Gloss Serum and the Smooth Perfect smoothing cream. Lets take a look.

BONACURE SMOOTH PERFECT
SMOOTHING CREAM
APPROX. $25






Normally I don't tend to use products like this because they usually weigh down my hair and make it even oilier then it is already. However I find as I am getting older I do notice small unruly hairs along my hairline and somewhat mixed in with my otherwise straight hair. So if I plan on putting it in a ponytail, which I am able to do now that my hair is getting longer, it works really well for taming and smoothing it for sleek perfection. If I am in hurry I will just brush my hair and throw it up into a ponytail, but more times then not I like to take my time and make a very manicured super smooth pony.
As for the product itself  it comes in 125ml tube and has a very similar consistency to good hand cream. Working it through your hair is quick and simple and i have also tried it buy applying it to my damp hair and blow drying it out and my hair looks smooth, but doesn't loose the volume, the little I do have. 

Here is what the tube says:

"With new cell perfector technology containing amnio  smoothener to nourish and discipline coarse or unruly hair. while working at a cellular level to restore structure and tame frizz for up to 4 days.

Now can I vouch for the last claim of tame frizz for up to 4 days??? NO because I wash my hair everyday. Then again if it's penetrating the hair shaft and still working at a cellular level even after each washing, then I need to pay closer attention and will have to follow up regarding that. Also I should mention this product smells phenom. fresh and a bit floral, but definitely in a good way. Its like that shampoo you can't stop smelling in the bottle or on your hair.
I highly recommend this product especially those of you that struggle with truly unruly hair, you will thank me later;)



Moving on the item is the 

BONACURE COLOR FREEZE
GLOSS SERUM 
APROX. RETAIL $25




What does Color Freeze, gloss serum promise???
Here are the details

"Reduce split ends for coloured hair and minimize hair breakage. For long lasting colour and mirror like shine. Use the Colour Freeze range. 

Just a side note you need very very little of this product to achieve the shine they talk about. You would just run it over the lengths of your hair and your good to go. I can say that other then my root grow out the bottom portion of my hair that has dye still looks as vibrant as it did about a week after I dyed it which was 10 weeks ago now. I try to really space out how often I re-dye my hair and do occasional trimmings which keeps my hair incredibly healthy. 

This hair serum has a perfect slip. I would say it most closely mimics a high quality lubricant. Also this product too smells amazing like baby powder, I could smell it all day that is how much I like it. My husband liked it as well, he said it's gentle powdery scent without being crazy fragrant to the point of choking. 

I really appreciate having the opportunity to have tried out this innovative new line from Schwarzkopf BonaCure and hope you try it to if you spot it in your favourite salon. You won't be disappointed.

HAVE A DELICIOUS DAY BEAUTIES:)
XOXO

OSIS+ BLOW DRY SPRAYS AND WHIPPED WAX REVIEW

THE OSIS+ ITEMS I AM REVIEWING TODAY WERE SENT TO ME FOR CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW, BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE STILL MY OWN BASED ON MY PERSONAL USE.

The first item is the BLOW & GO SMOOTH SLEEK EXPRESS BLOW-DRYING SPRAY.
The idea with this product is to not only smooth out frizzy hair, but also speed up your blow drying time.

 
I do find for me personally this is not the best product as my hair is not frizzy and needs no real help being smoothed out. I actually have very straight oily hair and I find this made it look more so. I also don't want anything in my hair that's going to make it lay any flatter as I prefer good body and volume to my hair when it's longer.
 
The next product looks identical, but is called the BLOW & GO THICK VOLUME EXPRESS BLOW-DRY SPRAY.
 
 
This spray offers something totally different even though they look a like. Firstly both sprays do speed up your blow drying time and especially if you have thicker hair you will benefit immensely from this. Just a few sprays all over and start your blow drying routine and you will notice a decrease in dry time. However the thing I love most about this product is it lives up to the claim of adding volume. It sure does, my hair is so big and fluffy after using this its awesome. I also noticed it has been helping with the oiliness in my hair as if soaking some of it up. I really recommend this product if you love big hair, without the hassle of back combing and spraying a ton of hairspray to hold a look.  
 
I do find the spray a tad sticky upon first applying, if it gets on your hands. However your hair does not feel that way once fully dry.
 
The last item is the WHIPPED WAX ,TEXTURE WAX SOUFFLE, #3 STRONG CONTROL.
 
 
I can tell that I will enjoy using this product more once I go back to a very short hair style, which I am planning on soon. It is ok for smoothing out strands around the face if your hair is longer, but is preferable for shorter styles.
I love the consistency of this wax and I like that it doesn't leave a white cast on the hair shafts as some wax products can often do. It does the trick of holding your style with out it being super harsh, it also is a breeze to wash out, where as some waxes tend to leave trace amounts behind even after washing. Once I cut my hair I will follow up because I have not applied it all over my head and washed my hair, so will see what happens then.
 
JULY 24-To follow up I have recently gone back to very short hair and I am loving this wax. It holds a look, but is reworkable should you need to move the hair around later in the day. It does wash out well, but do make sure if using such products like wax to always use a shampoo that lifts residue left behind by such styling products
 
All the Osis+ products mentioned here today have a very nice scent to them the seems fruity and sweet, but not overbearing.
 
The blow & go sprays run about $25 each and the
Whipped wax is about $20
