I tend to stay away from products that promise tremendous moisture or repair, as the results tend to just weigh down my very fine, delicate hair. However, Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo & Conditioner came to me from a trusted source, so with a “I will try anything once” mentality, I rinsed, I lathered, and I analyzed the results. My hair was as bouncy as it would be with my volumizing shampoo, and was not held down or oily by the influx of moisture. Bravo!
The secret to the Ojon products is the Ojon Oil, which infiltrates a damaged hair shaft aiding in the replenishment of essential lipids which goes right to the hair cuticle and helps to block water from further damaging and weakening the hair shaft. The goal of the product is to restore the hair type to “Virgin hair,” which essentially means it hasn’t been exposed to chemical processing, UV exposure or thermal and mechanical treatments.
Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo & Conditioner is available at Sephora for $10 each for the 2 oz bottle, $24 for the 8.5 oz bottle.

More than ever this year, people’s eye have been irritated by allergies! I for one have been severely effected, and add in windy days and glaring sun, and I’m done for! Luckily I tested out a product that is the first of its kind, Visine Summer Spectrum Relief, which is a lubricant/redness reliever for help with eye irritation caused by swimming, sun, or wind. It gets the red out while cooling, soothing, and refreshing the eyes, and of course you can easily fit the 1/2 oz bottle into your carry-on bag. So be outside as much as you can possibly manage this summer, and don’t forget your sunscreen! (Visine Summer Spectrum Relief is available in the sun care aisle at CVS)
