Stockn’Go currently has over 65 different Redken products in stock and is offering up to 28% off ALL Redken Brands!! Take advantage of this HUGE sale on one of the best hair product brands in the market.  Redken offers a complete line of Redken Shampoos, Conditioners, Styling and Finishing Aids, all guaranteed to deliver a promising fashion sense.  Here are a few hair tips from Redken.com on how these products can fit your every need!

Sun Protection: Protect your hair with Color Extend Sun’s Solar Screen SPF 12. Apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure for optimum protection against the effects of damaging UV rays.

Hot Tools Protection: Everytime you use a hot tool you should always start with a heat-protection product as the high temperatures of our devices can cause damage and breakage to your hair.  Check out the appropriate Redken heat styling product, to maximize your hair safety.

Shower Maintenance: Redken’s haircare systems contain a unique technology that that repairs hair from the inside out with an exclusive blend of ingredients including Keralink, amino acids and protein.  As a result, Redken’s shampoos and conditioners have a progressive effect on the hair, with benefits accumulating as long as there are damaged areas of the fiber for the ingredients to be attracted to. With repeated chemical services, the use of heat styling tools, plus everyday wear and tear from washing, brushing and environmental aggressors, damage is an ongoing concern that Redken’s products are formulated to address.

Refresh & Detox: Break free from the daily haircare routine, detox and replenish to rebalance hair.  Redken’s Nature’s Rescue system helps maximize the effectiveness of other professional haircare products and is designed to be used daily, weekly or on alternate days with your other favorite Redken haircare regimen for a complete, healthy-looking hair solution.

At Home Deep Conditioning Treatments: Within each of Redken’s haircare family, Redken offers treatment products that range from deep conditioners to products with styling benefits. These at home treatments continue the salon-experience by fortifying hair. Hair loses protein over time which can be accelerated by mechanical and chemical damage. As a result, hair becomes porous and straw-like in feel and appearance. When hair is damaged, cuticle fibers stand up away from the hair shaft making hair dull and frizzy. Redken at-home treatments deep condition to help smooth and flatten the cuticle layers replenishing protein without buildup for hair that has a smoother, shinier, healthier appearance.

Combat Thinning: Thinning hair is a common occurance but the solution is out there. If this applies to you or someone you know, be sure to talk to your stylist to find out if Redken’s Intra Force System or Redken Thickening Lotion is right for you.

Do you have chemically treated or damaged hair? If so, I’ve got a duo for you. TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner. They’re comfort food for your hair.

TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Shampoo and TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Conditioner are the perfect combination to treat dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair. Even if you don’t have dry hair, you should try this shampoo and conditioner. It’s good for use on all hair types. The scent is so divine, you could almost eat it. It contains soy and wheat proteins to repair your hair and leaves it soft, shiny, and healthy.

The shampoo comes in a pump dispenser – which I love. It makes it so easy to get the shampoo. No picking up the bottle while you’re wet in the shower, just give it a little pump and out it comes. I don’t use this shampoo all the time… but it is definitely my favorite shampoo. A little goes a long way, and the bottle seems to last forever. Used in combination with the conditioner, it makes my hair feel like silk.

The conditioner enhances shine, and fights frizz. That’s very important for me – without the right hair products, my hair has a tendency to go wild. No chance of that with this hair conditioner. My hair is smooth and beautiful after using this conditioner.

Hey, do you think you know how to apply conditioner to your hair? You may not. Watch this short video from the founder of Dove, and learn how to apply conditioner the right way.

So, have you been doing it the right way? I haven’t. I usually just plaster the conditioner on and rinse it out right away. I’m going to try it this way, and see what happens.

If your hair is damaged, it’s time to take control. There are lots of things that cause hair damage. It can be environmental – sun damage, especially. If you color or chemically treat your hair, that’s damaging as well. Probably the most common way we damage our hair, however, is heat styling. Whatever the reason for your hair damage, you can bring life back to your locks. It’s easy and only takes a little time and thought.

Get a haircut. If you trim the split ends and breakage from your hair, it will be easier to condition. It also won’t keep splitting up the hair shaft. You don’t have to cut it short, but at least keep it trimmed to minimize the damage.

Don’t color or chemically treat your hair more than every two months. Color treated hair tends to be dry, as does chemically treated hair. Even if the treatment is gentle, it’s still going to give you some dryness, and your hair is going to need a little more TLC. Use shampoos and conditioners specifically made for color or chemically treated hair.

Consider using a leave in conditioner. Not only will it give your parched hair the moisture it needs, many contain sunscreens that further protect your hair from damage. Even if you’re not out in the sun that much during the day, your hair can still be damaged by the sun’s rays. And don’t think you can skip the leave in conditioner, even if the forecast is for rain. You can just sustain just as much damage from UV rays on cloudy days.

Use thermal protective products on your hair. These products keep heat styling from further damaging your hair, and leave it lustrous and beautiful. Chi makes excellent heat styling products to use with their ceramic flatirons. Ceramic flatirons don’t burn your hair, and used in combination with these heat protectant hair products, they keep your hair from drying out and breaking.

Use a deep conditioner on your hair at least monthly. If you have severe damage, deep condition once a week. Your hair will get the moisture it needs, and any split ends or breakage you have will be minimized.

This review seemed especially appropriate considering the time of year. I know I’m not the only person to hanker for beaches and water during the summer, and Bumble & Bumble Seaweed conditioner just seemed like the perfect product to spotlight. It’s a lightweight daily detangler and conditioner, something that I’m always looking for in the summer. More water exposure means dryer hair that needs more moisture, and this conditioner promises moisturized hair. Made with marine greens, the conditioning formula nourishes, softens, and helps manage freshly-washed hair.

I kind of love this stuff! I’m a fan after trying it. Not only did a whiff of the clean, fresh smell make me long for the beach, this rich conditioner is much more than just a simple hair moisturizer or detangler. The scent is great. It smells clean, with none of the heavy, cloying perfumes that can clash horribly with any other scent you wear. Yes, it helps get those pesky knots out of your hair, as it promises *especially if you have long, thick, or coarse hair* but it calms the cuticle as well, giving you velvety-smooth hair in just one step. It works best if you use it in combination with Bumble & Bumble Seaweed Shampoo.

I used this with the Seaweed Shampoo, and my hair has never felt so soft. It feels healthy, smooth, and it smells fresh. If you have color-treated, damaged, or chemically treated hair, it’s perfect for you: Your hair will be moisturized and it will look great.

Just place a quarter sized amount in the palm of your hand and smooth it through your hair. If you have long, coarse, or thick hair that tangles easily, comb the conditioner through, and then rinse out in the shower. No more tangles, no more flyaway hair, and no more frizzies. Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Conditioner won’t weigh your hair down, and you won’t be left with limp, lifeless hair, either.

Anybody else use Bumble and Bumble hair products? Tell me about them. Like them? Don’t like them? Let me know on Twitter, Facebook, or just leave me a comment here on the blog.

I use a lot of heat styling on my hair, just like busy women everywhere. Oh, I know it’s better for my hair to dry naturally, but sometimes I’m in a hurry. I don’t want to go out with my hair looking awful… so I dry and style my hair with heat. I sin against my hair almost every day – I use a blow dryer to dry it, then use either a curling iron or flatiron straightener (depending on what mood I’m in that day) to style it. Let’s face it, when you’ve got 30 minutes to get ready and leave the house, you don’t have time to let your hair dry naturally and scrunch all those curls.

And we’ve got it made over women from years ago; did you ever see those bonnet hair dryers? And can you imagine sleeping in rollers to make sure your hair looked good the next day? I have a feeling my hair would not have looked very good if I had to sleep on hard rollers every night. I think I might have just skipped the whole thing…or maybe I would have just slept sitting up.

Technology has brought us easier, more convenient ways to make sure our hair looks good. I can blow dry my hair, curl it, and be out of the house in ten minutes flat. That’s invaluable to me as a busy woman, but what I don’t like about it is the hair damage that comes along with these heated styling appliances.

Fortunately, there are products that help heal the damage you cause to your hair with heat styling. CHI Silk Infusion is one of them; it helps protect against further heat damage, as well. Chi Silk Infusion helps strengthen your hair and makes it incredibly soft. It also doesn’t leave build-up on your hair (build up can make your hair dull and lifeless). The formula is enriched with pure silk and wheat and soy proteins, and is alcohol free.

CHI Silk Infusion is specially made for thermal styling and hair repair. It’s a leave-in conditioner, and when you use heated appliances like blow dryers and ceramic straighteners, you actually make the silk proteins penetrate deeper into your hair. All you have to do is put a small amount of Chi Silk Infusion into the palm of your hand and work it through your hair. Voila, you’re done! Finish styling, and you’ll have soft, manageable, noticeably shiny hair without any build up.

Chi Silk Infusion is the busy woman’s best friend – you can style your hair quickly and easily with heated styling appliances without all the damage that go with them. I use this product almost every day. It’s the equivalent of having my cake and eating it, too. I love it, and panic when the bottle starts running low. But don’t take my word for it – try Chi Silk Infusion for yourself and see if you don’t love the look and feel of your hair.
