Our 14-year-old daughter Bailey likes to wear her super long hair sleek and highlighted.

To achieve this look, she has managed to fry her hair beyond belief with bleach, a 450 degree straightening iron and a bad-ass attitude (if you are related to a 14-year-old girl or have come within a 200 foot radius of one in your lifetime, you know exactly the degree of BAD we’re talking about).

During our Spring Break trip to Los Angeles, we stopped in to the Warren Tricomi Salon to seek expert advice from salon principle and Redken creative consultant Kaz Amor. An internationally acclaimed colorist and celebrity favorite, Kaz didn’t mince words when it came to Bailey’s prognosis. “The hair will continue to break where it’s damaged,” he told us while carefully inspecting Bailey’s hair. “Ideally, we wouldn’t color this hair and let it grow out,” he laughed, “but then she wouldn’t be happy—this girl wants to be blonde!”

While it’s not possible to fully repair hair that’s been over-processed and fried with styling tools, it is possible to keep the cuticle as smooth as possible by fortifying the strands with protein and minimizing heat damage. To give Bailey a new look without further damaging the broken strands, Kaz used a single process color to lighten her hair overall and warm up her face. He then added a little lightness around her face with pin-thin highlights at her hairline.

To keep her hair looking shiny and healthy, Kaz sent Bailey home with Kerastase Ciment Thermique, a heat-activated protectant for weakened hair (this stuff smells divine), and strict instructions to keep her straightening iron at less than 400 degrees.

And the bad attitude? Sadly, the Warren Tricomi Salon offers no help there, but they certainly make you look like a million bucks.

Kaz Amor can be found at the Warren Tricomi Salon in LA at (323) 651-4545.

This month we’ve been doing a lot of traveling.

Between volleyball tournaments and several short business trips, we’ve been on the road more days than we’ve been at home. While this makes for more catch-up chores (laundry!) than we care to think about, it’s been fun to streamline our suitcase and play with all the travel-size samples we have laying around.

The standout products of this month are Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo & Conditioner, available in travel-size kits called Jet Sets. The 2.5 oz chubby bottles are perfect for several days away from home (no need to ration our supply to survive four showers), and the flip-top caps are easy to open.

The body building formula left our hair full of bounce and smelling fresh.

Philip Kingsley Jet Sets are available in Body and Volume, Body and Shine, Smooth and Shiny, Soft and Shiny and Take Comfort, and can be purchased online at philipkingsley.com.

Haha- that headline caught your eye, right?

Over the long weekend I was in San Jose, California playing in a volleyball tournament. If you’ve never been to a girl’s volleyball tournament, let me describe it for you: more than 1,500 sweaty girls (many of whom wear the same pair of socks for the duration) packed into a sweaty convention center for three long, sweaty days. Kinda gross.

Lucky for me, I thought ahead and came prepared.

(Just kidding, my mom packed for me.)

The standout products of the weekend (aside from clean socks):

• Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Shampoo & Conditioner These leave my hair super clean and soft and they smell soooo yummy. It was my dirty hair’s dream come true. (Also, they’re only $3 per bottle—score!)
• Secret Clinical Strength Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant When you’re on the court for hours on end, playing game after game (one day I played TWELVE games) you need some super-strength anti-perspirant. Secret Clinical Strength is the number one selling wetness protection deodorant and it totally works. (If only I could smear it across my brow to keep my forehead from sweating!)

All in all, the weekend was fun. Out of 171 16-year-old teams, my team placed 27th!

Until next week—xoxoxo,
