One hair styling product I took on my recent trip to England was Avon Advance Techniques frizz control lotus shield! This frizz controlling serum protected my hair during my 9 hour flight to London, humidity (can you believe it was hot and humid in England!!), and of course occasional rain (4 seasons in one a typical English day). I can feel the product working right a way, my hair feels smooth and actually even looks glossy, as if the moisture and softness was locked in.

More plus: lotus shield feels gentle on my hair and smells great and I don’t need to use harsh chemicals to keep my hair straight. Lotus shield is quickly becoming my best friend, travel companion, and a bad hair days saver. I faked a freshly blown out hairdo for 3 days in England, and I even managed to steal hair compliments from the Walsh family. Success:)

According to Avon Avon Advance Techniques frizz control lotus shield keeps hair well behaved and controls frizz even in 97% humidity. How does it work: The key to controlling frizz is to control water absorption. Avon’s new lotus-inspired technology adds a water resistant layer to the hair, preventing excess moisture from entering the hair shaft. How to use Lotus Shield: Shake well before use. Apply a 1/2 teaspoon (or pea sized amount) of product to clean, damp hair and distribute evenly. For longer hair, increase product amount gradually until you experience the desired results. Style as usual with your favorite styling products. Suitable for all hair types.

I’m already a huge fan of Avon Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum and their haircare line in general. This is why I was super excited to try their latest product addition: Avon Advance Techniques frizz control lotus shield. I’m absolutely blown away with how great this product works on my hair to control frizz for days, and I mean days.

My hair is wavy but I like to keep it straight most times and I’m always on the lookout for hair styling products that keep my hair straight and frizz free especially the second and third day. See, because of my busy schedule I normally don’t wash my hair every single day so I need a product that will help my hair keep fresh for at least 2 days after my first blow out. Avon Advance Techniques frizz control lotus shield does all that!

It also works very well on air dried hair. I took lotus shield to England thinking it will protect my hair from the English humidity. I didn’t have time to blow dry my hair so I added few drops of lotus shield on wet hair and left it to dry naturally. My hair dried beautifully, my waves were glossy and smooth and completely frizz free. BTW it smells great too! All in all, Avon Advance Techniques frizz control lotus shield has a wow factor and Marta loves xo

Hold Hairspray is a reinvention of traditional hairspray with flexible hold and ultimate control, plus exclusive humidity-blocking technology PolyfluoroEster.

Hair holds its style beautifully and completely, yet moves naturally and never looks too stiff or shellacked. Hair retains its shape, incredible shine and flexibility, making the use of Hold virtually foolproof and a must-have beauty product!

Living Proof’s Hold Hairspray is available at Sephora, QVC and Livingproof.com beginning in May 2010; $24, travel $14.

Advance Techniques Professional Hair Care by Avon is one one favorite hair care lines. I particularity in love with their Dry Ends Serum which is an amazing styling product for blow drying hair straight. It never wights your hair down even if mistakenly I apply more than needed (sounds familiar?). Also from the Advance Techniques Daily Results collection: Mirror Shine Spray to add gloss and shine to hair and Anti-Frizz Capsules to tame and smooth frizzy hair.

Another great hair care colleciton from Advance Techniques is their True Blonde designed specially for natural or color-treated blondes. I love the Strengthening Shampoo because it really cleanse my hair from impurities and product residue. Also from True Blonde collection worth trying is their Tone & Protect Leave-In Spray which is designed to neutralize yellow and brassy tones on blonde hair. Lastly, I like to add that the products smell great.

Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo created Gwen Stefani’s hairdo for the 2010 MET Ball.

According to Danilo: “Gwen’s dress was made from a gold, vintage thread fabric from the 30’s, and we wanted to honor the ethereal flow by creating a chic silhouette from head to toe. I created a dramatic, contemporary twist inspired by Grace Kelly and the Hitchcock film goddesses.”

After washing her hair for a clean base, I applied the NEW Pantene Pro-V Color Nourishing Treatment, left it in for 5 minutes, and rinsed. I always opt to treat hair before a night of styling, especially on color-treated hair, so it is soft and appears in its healthiest form for the lights and cameras.

On her wet hair, I evenly spritzed the NEW Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Heat Protection & Shine Spray to prep for the blow dry. Midway through, I focused on her roots by spraying them with the Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Spray Gel to help thicken her roots to support the grand bouffant. After blow drying, I pulled all of her hair back, pinning hair in place to create the lift, and used my fingers to form piecey rows on the top of her hair so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. To finish the look, I used the NEW Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Anti-Humidity Hairspray to keep her hair frizz-free in the horrible NYC humidity.”

The NEW Pantene products are launching in-stores in June 2010.
