Giveaway For 2 Full Sized Bottles of ENJOY Professionals Luxury Hair Care Products~NOW CLOSED~
This giveaway is Now Closed. Thank you to all who entered.
Congratulations Jennifer B!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does your hair need a little help or repair from the harsh effects of coloring your hair, the elements, alcohol based hair care products, or just need a break from all of the sulfates found in most hair products?
Then you need to try ENJOY Luxury Hair Care Products which are sulfate free
and ph balanced.
I have been bleaching & coloring my hair again for the past 6 months(after a long break, 4 years to be exact pre & post pregnancies and just sheer lack of time to do it).
So getting back into bleaching(my natural black-brown hair) to a light blonde(and various pastel shades along the process), I forgot how harsh these chemicals are to the hair and scalp. After bleaching, you are supposed to use a ph balanced shampoo to help neutralize the bleach, which I typically hardly ever did.
Until I discovered ENJOY.
I have never had a shampoo or conditioner make my hair feel as soft and healthy, as I do after using the ENJOY Luxury Duo. My hairdresser always says how strong and healthy my hair is, partly because it is thick but also because I have been using ENJOY Luxury shampoo & conditioner.
My scalp is not nearly as itchy after bleaching, and my color lasts a whole lot longer than
if I used a big name shampoo bought at the drugstore.
Why sulfate free, you ask?
Well sulfates are typically added to most shampoo & body wash because it is inexpensive. It
is used as a detergent or degreaser, but it is found to dry out the hair and skin, and can even cause irritation.
Why use ph balanced and stable hair care products?
I'll let the experts explain-

Why use ph balanced and stable hair care products?
I'll let the experts explain-
"ENJOY knows that pH balanced and
stable products are key for optimum hair color retention. Human skin and hair
resides in the pH 4.5-5.5 range, but most products on the market are pH 7 or
greater. In addition to leaving the hair feeling dry and brittle, the higher pH
in these products raises the cuticle and causes hair color to fade shampoo
after shampoo. This isn’t the case with ENJOY. To provide long lasting color
and complement hair’s natural pH balance, they work hard to insure that their
products are pH 4.5-6.0. They also conduct extensive bake tests on the line to
guarantee pH stability."
So now are you ready to experience hair care like you have never before?

Simplify Life ~ How to Detangle Doll Hair
and before you can say to your daughter,"Pick up all of those little Barbie pieces,
shoes, combs...etc", you notice the massive mop atop Barbie's head. Looks like she had a rough night
of partying or something. Sydney has brought me numerous dolls, asking me to help get the knots out, but
if you have ever combed/brushed synthetic hair, you know it is nothing like human hair.
So I started asking around & one of my friends told me about this nifty little trick that works
AmAzInGly!! Thanks Jenn!
Grab your dollies & lets help Barbie bring her sexy back.
(haha I can't believe I just wrote that! lol)
You Will Need
spray bottle
wide toothed comb (or really any comb or brush should do)
fabric softener-liquid
(which I grabbed a bottle at the dollar store, because if it didn't work, then I was only out $1)
doll(s) with tangled, messy hair
OK this is super simple trust me, it's a no brainer.
Put some liquid fabric softener into a small spray bottle, I grabbed the one I use with water when giving haircuts to the fam. I added a little water(like I turned the faucet on then immediately back off), so it was really just a splash. Honestly, I think you can skip this step, I just didn't know, so I was experimenting. It worked perfectly, so there was no need to try anything different. So you hold the spray bottle about 5 inches away from the doll & lightly spritz. You do not need to saturate the hair, just dampen it. Then comb through. I combed the same way I do my daughters(& my) hair, by starting at the bottom & brush to the ends, then go up a little from when I started before & comb to the ends, and continue this until you are at the top of the head & can brush through all the way to the ends without a snag. If the comb skips or snags(sorry don't know the correct term) then give it a spritz of the liquid fabric softener. Now you can style as desired & let air dry.
How simple is that?!?
I love this for the dolls because now they can have nice, smooth hair again.
Please feel free to pin this, & comment below if you try this~ I'd love to hear how you like it!
Thanks for reading!
Much Love
~Iffy~
Side note=*I know the above doll is a Bratz not a Barbie, but they all have the same type of knot-prone, synthetic hair, don't they?
