    Honey Infused Hair Oil


    Andrea Toma

    Your dry hair needs extra hydration? Need a styling finishing product that would leave your hair feeling like you just got back from the salon? There’s nothing better than Gisou’s iconic best selling product, The Honey Infused Hair Oil. 


    Originally based on a homemade family recipe and having honey as the main ingredient, this cruelty-, paraben-, and sulfate-free product is everything your hair needs. With healing properties, honey helps the hair to maintain its natural moisture balance, and the result is stronger, healthier locks. 


    It is also suitable for every hair type and a little bit of product goes a long way. Designed as a luxurious product, it has a glass bottle and a serum pump to make the experience even lusher and more special.
  • Olaplex
    No.3 Hair Perfector


    Andrea Toma

    If you have blonde, damaged, thin hair you should be doing the Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Treatment right now! You don’t even have to think twice. 

    After the first use, hair becomes lighter and so much smoother, and it doesn’t break anymore. It's recommended especially for blonde bleached hair as you can clearly see and the improvements it provides. It's also good for straight, wavy, curly, coiled, and tightly coiled hair.


    This works best as an overnight leave-in treatment before washing your hair. After the first month of use, hair breakage is less frequent. This product is not a conditioner but an intense and concentrated treatment that should be used once a week for best results.
  • Aquis
    Prime Water Defense Prewash


    Andrea Toma

    Have you noticed hair falling and breaking while washing? It’s time for a prewash treatment. Innovators into the haircare world, Aquis came out with the Prime Water Defense Prewash, a product that prevents the water from damaging straight, wavy, curly, or coiled hair. 

    Their philosophy is “wet hair is weak hair”, and I couldn’t agree more. Wet hair is prone to damage. All the stretching and swelling create frizz and breakage. 

    The Prewash protects hair from moisture loss during cleansing. It's meant to be left on the hair for at least two minutes prior to showering. The result is stronger, healthier hair that's ready to be styled. 
  • Jerusalem Keratin
    Keratin Enriched Moisturising Mask


    Andrea Toma

    As a natural part of the hair’s structure, keratin helps maintain its health. The smooth-in motion technology of this keratin-enriched mask provides extreme softness to the hair. 

    It works best on colored hair to make its vibrancy last longer, and it can also be used as an overnight treatment for the best results. If your hair is feeling damaged or weak from lots of hair treatments, then this is a great mask to try out.
  • Gisou
    Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray


    Andrea Toma

    Upgrade your haircare routine by choosing a good heat protecting spray and by making a habit out of using it before any styling tool.

    Formulated as a spray, this propolis-enriched formula makes it easier than ever to protect hair against heat coming from hot tools. It also prevents sun damage with UV filters! Rich in antioxidants and free from silicones, this hair spray adds texture while preventing breakage and split ends.
  • The Innate Life
    Scalp Treatment


    Andrea Toma

    This is a scalp treatment you never knew you needed but has been a life-changing product for me. We all know that hair growth starts at the roots, right? This product detoxifies and nourishes the scalp to let that beautiful hair shine through. 

    With a blend of specially selected herbs, it is a powerful stimulant that increases blood circulation to the hair follicles. It absolutely feels like a spa treatment for your hair. It is best for any scalp-related issues like dry, itchy, or flaky scalp.
  • Sauce Beauty
    Chimichurri Mint Tingle Intense Repair Shampoo


    Andrea Toma

    Literally developed and cooked into the kitchen, Sauce Beauty merges a passion for food with haircare. How is that possible? By using ingredients like Jerrah honey, avocado, Greek yogurt, shea butter, mint, and cayenne pepper. The smell of their hair products is absolutely incredible. 

    So how about a shampoo that makes washing your hair so exciting? The mint and peppermint oils in this product will refresh and invigorate your scalp. It moisturizes and repairs the hair while calming the skin. It works amazingly on medium to coarse, damaged, or highly processed hair.
  • JujuChan Hair
    Bounce Curl Cream


    Andrea Toma

    If you already hopped into the famous trend of heatless overnight curls, then you need this product to help you keep those curls longer and bouncier. And if you didn’t do it yet, browse YouTube for a quick how-to tutorial! 

    The Bounce Cream makes it easier to style naturally or to make overnight curls. It's perfect for any hair type and also formulated without parabens, sulfates, sodium chloride, or fragrance. And it's cruelty-free, of course!
  • Jerusalem Keratin
    Keratin Conditioner


    Andrea Toma

    One can simply not end the hair washing routine without a good conditioner. Packed with some of the same keratin, nutrient oils, and protein as the mask I talked about above, this Jerusalem Conditioner is a must-have for any hair type. 

    It provides smoothness and vibrancy to especially color-treated hair, and it nourishes damaged hairs. If you struggle with frizz on the daily, then this is a great conditioner to try out.
  • The Innate Life
    Herbal Hair Mask


    Andrea Toma

    This mask is so intense you only need to use it once a week to transform your hair into a silky dream. Packed with slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, and argan oil, this mask is extremely high in Omega 6, 9, and Vitamin E to make and keep hair soft, silky, and shiny.

    It is formulated with 15 plant-based botanicals, and it is a natural detangler that can undo the damage caused by hair dyes and heat tools. The Herbal Hair Mask can transform sad hair into happy and healthy hair!
