Barry Fletcher Hair Products Giveaway!!!

Hey there! If you're regular visitor to Spoiled Pretty, you know that I don't waste time or money on shampoos and conditioners that merely cleanse and condition. My hair is dry, overprocessed and has some serious behavioral issues...so I expect more from my hair care products. I expect them to be miracle workers, which is why I'm such a big fan of Barry Fletcher. I love his Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo and Moisture Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner so much that there's always a back-up at the ready.

You know how I get when I love products this much...I give them away; Mama Spoiled Pretty taught me to share my toys. So get ready for a Spoiled Pretty giveaway, sponsored by Barry Fletcher.

One grand prize winner will receive:

Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo: Nourishes the hair with protein and pure biological extracts to moisturize and leave hair silky smooth and shiny. Natural humectants soothe the scalp rendering it moist, healthy and refreshed.

Moisture Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner: Helps to build elasticity and improve porosity. This revitalizing conditioner can be used on natural and chemically-treated hair. Leaves your hair silky and shiny.

Thick N Slick Custard: A naturally fresh, alcohol-free conditioning creme gel with super moisture and sheen. It has an exceptional blend of 100% natural extracts, Hawaiian white ginger, aloe vera, and flowers bountiful in natural lubricants.

Glo N Grow: A vitamin-enriched hair treatment that moistens the scalp to promote hair growth. It gives protection and super shine for use of hot tools.

Press N Curl Wax: This special blend of carrot oil, soybean oil and bees wax helps penetrate hair, adding moisture and protecting against pressing hot tools - rendering hair silky smooth with a long-lasting satin finish.

Memory Mist: Humidity resistant, gives curls memory, seals in moisture, holds style longer and leaves hair soft and shiny.

Silk N Shine: This vitamin enriched, non-aerosol, finishing gloss is lightweight, so there’s no build-up. And the formula contains no alcohol, so it doesn’t dry hair out. It seals in moisture and makes hair feel like silk.

Moisture Silk Mousse: The light, alcohol-free, foaming conditioning lotion provides the ultimate variety for any texture and style. Detangles hair prior blow drying, and minimizes frizzing when drying naturally.

One runner-up will win Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo, Moisture Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner, Thick N Slick Custard, Press N Curl Wax, Memory Mist, and Silk N Shine.

Product Polygamy Week: Hair

Woo woo! Party over here! Party over here!

Welcome to day three of Product Polygamy Week, Spoiled Pretty’s celebration of the beauty items that get big love from me and my girl, Amber.

SHAMPOO
The Barb: Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo For Dry, Damaged, Color-Treated Hair
Looking for a shampoo that will nurture your tortured tresses and restore their good health? Then look no further than Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo For Dry, Damaged, Color-Treated Hair. Your hair needn’t be dry, damaged, and color-treated to enjoy this product. As long as your strands are one of the above, they will reap the rewards of this sublime shampoo.

The Nicki: Barry Fletcher Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo
This is all I have to say…Barry Fletcher’s Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo left my hair so silky smooth that I almost didn't need conditioner. What more is there to say? Oh yeah - an 8 oz. bottle is only $7.

The Margene: Bumble and bumble Creme De Coco Shampoo
Made with coconut oil and murumuru butter, Bumble and bumble Creme De Coco Shampoo gently cleanses, supremely moisturizes, enhances shine and tames frizz. Still need convincing? Peep this - it smells like a frothy pina colada. Bottoms up!


CONDITIONER
The Barb: Barry Fletcher Moisture Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner
Nothing makes my hair softer or more manageable than Barry Fletcher's Moisture Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner. It hydrates, strengthens, and leaves my strands implausibly silken. Plus it smells just like a pina colada (are you noticing a pattern here?) and costs $10 for a tub.

The Nicki: Moroccanoil Masque
The people responsible for the Moroccanoil hair care line must practice magic and wizardry. That’s the only explanation I can come up with that could possibly account for the products’ supernatural powers. Moroccanoil Masque is a rich, creamy treatment, designed to hydrate and repair damaged hair. With continued use, it revitalizes hair, restoring shine and manageability.

The Margene: Joico K Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
If your hair is over-processed, severely damaged and/or you suffer from breakage, then Joico K Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor is the answer. This is not - and I repeat NOT - a moisturizing product. This is a hair reconstructor; it rebuilds and improves the structure of your hair. After just one use, you’ll notice that there’s less hair in your comb/brush, your hair looks healthier and it feels stronger. Just remember to follow this up with a moisturizing treatment, because too much protein can make hair strong but also brittle.


STYLING PRODUCT
The Barb: Moroccanoil Oil Treatment
If you go out and buy just one thing off this list, let it be Moroccanoil Oil Treatment. There aren’t enough hours in the day for me to accurately describe how this magical elixir has changed my life. I’m a beauty blogger, so I have to test and review a plethora of products. Which means that I have to switch it up all of the time. But the one hair product I CANNOT take out of the rotation is Moroccanoil Oil Treatment. This amazing oil strengthens brittle hair, softens unmanageable manes, nourishes dry scalp, restores shine, eliminates frizz, protects against UV damage, speeds styling time by 40% and provides long-term conditioning to all hair types. I don’t know one person who’s tried it an thought, “meh.” Use it once and you’ll want to buy it in bulk so you’re never without it.

The Nicki: Redken Extreme Iron Repair
You’ve heard it time and time again…take it easy on the thermal styling tools. But your hair just looks too damn good when you’ve had a nice blowout and you touch it up with the flat iron. I know, I know. I’m guilty too. So if you’re like me and determined to be a blowdrying, flat-ironing badass, please invest in a thermal protector like Redken Extreme Iron Repair. This lightweight, heat-activated lotion protects hair from heat-styling damage while strengthening the internal and external fiber. And it eases your guilty conscience when you’re putting hot tools in your hair every five minutes.

The Margene: No Frizz by Living Proof
Okay, I lied. Remember when I said if you buy one thing on this list, make it Moroccanoil Oil Treatment? Well, I forgot that I would also be including No Frizz by Living Proof on said list. No Frizz is a revolutionary new hair care line that contains a brand new molecule that does what silicones can’t: eliminate frizz by blocking out humidity. No Frizz by Living Proof is the winner of Allure Magazine’s most coveted beauty honor: the ‘beauty breakthrough award’ of 2008. Already an insider favorite to stylists and celebrities, it hasn’t been available to the general public until recently. Then it hit the market, but you couldn’t find it anywhere because beauty zealots were snatching it up in bulk, like they were on an eppy of Supermarket Sweep. Sounds crazy, but this stuff is serious; it was created by a scientist at MIT!

Since I’ve been using this, frizz isn’t even a word in my dictionary. I forgot what it meant because - rain or shine - my hair looks exactly the same. Hot mess, puffball hair begone! And one thing I absolutely love about these products…it instructs you to apply as much as you want, that you can’t overdo it. I love glopping on some styling products, so a product line that lets me go hog wild (but won't let me overdo it) gets an A+ in my book.

My partner in crime, Amber, is hair obsessed. So you know she’ll have some great product picks. Go check her out and I’ll see you tomorrow…same time, same place.

Can I Have Some Remedy? Remedy For Me Please.

When your skin is parched, you quench its thirst by slathering on a thick, hydrating lotion/balm. So when your strands miss moisture like the deserts miss the rain, the same logic applies. Give your thin, runny shampoo and conditioner a rest…and invest in concentrated products that pamper your stressed tresses.

Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner are staples in my shower for this very reason. The shampoo is so thick that when I squeeze it out of the tube, I always double check the label because I swear it was the conditioner. Dry Remedy is one of the few shampoos I’ve tried that delivers immediate results; when it comes to beauty products, I’m all Paula Cole “I don’t want to wait” – so instant gratification is a huge plus for me. Even before I apply the conditioner, my hair already feels softer and healthier. And the scent is amazing…when you’re done, your bathroom will smell like a spa (think ylang ylang and rose geranium, plus a hint of vanilla).

The conditioner is equally restorative. Personally, I mix equal parts of the Dry Remedy Moisturizing Conditioner with Barry Fletcher Moisture Therapy Cool Revitalizing Conditioner – it’s my hair’s cocktail of choice.

At $24 a pop, these products aren’t for the budget conscious. So if you don’t have $48 to spend, but your dry hair is crying out for help, I recommend Dry Remedy Moisturizing Shampoo. Purchase Aveda Dry Remedy at aveda.com, and take advantage of free shipping on all orders (now through 11/30) and choose a free sample!

Recessionista's Fabuless Pick of the Week: Barry Fletcher Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo

Here's a little glimpse into the Spoiled Pretty psyche...

Typically, I don't put a lot of stock in shampoo; I hardly ever get my hopes up. I usually just choose a shampoo based on my hair type (dry and damaged) and expect that it will cleanse my hair. For softness and manageability, I tend to put all my eggs in one proverbial basket: my conditioner. So imagine my surprise when Barry Fletcher's Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo left my hair so silky smooth that I almost didn't need conditioner!

Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo nourishes hair with protein and pure botanical extracts, while natural humectants soothe the scalp - rendering it moist, healthy, and refreshed. And you won't have to wait to notice a difference...as soon as you rinse out the fragrant suds, you will feel a marked improvment in the condition of your hair. And when it comes to hair products, who doesn't love instant gratification?

Plus, add this to the mounting reasons to buy Moisture Therapy Honeysuckle Moisturizing Shampoo...an 8 oz. bottle will only set you back $7.
