Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

Being a New Jersey native, I really thought my big, frizzy hair was just a way of life. It was poufy and had way too much body—something I always blamed on humidity, heredity and occasionally even my blow dryer.
 
Then, I heard about Yuko’s brand new Anti-Frizz Treatment and it was like hearing angels sing!  Yuko, the experts in Japanese hair straightening, recently came out with an innovative anti-frizz treatment which promises to make hair more manageable and healthy while minimizing the frizz-factor.  Even better?  It doesn’t contain any of that …

Did you ever see those salon commercials where the woman’s hair is so shiny, you are just green with envy?  Well, I have and I was determined to find a product that gave my hair that incredible shine.  I might not be a salon model, but my hair was going to look as good as one!

I think I found that product with Beverly Hills Be Inspired Shine & Repair Serum with Argan Oil.
I wasn’t familiar with Argan oil so I looked it up.  Wikipedia defines Argan oil as an oil …

We’ve been fans of Morrocanoil products since they first launched.  In fact, when they launched their Light version, we reviewed it for Allure magazine here.

So when the company launched the new Moroccanoil Curl Defining Mousse, our new writer Deanna,  jumped at the opportunity to test drive it.
I was looking for a product that I could put in my hair and just let it air dry, naturally, Deanna says.    Of course, I wanted the result to be great looking hair.
I had a very positive first impression.  The bottle was large …

Frizz, flyaways, static, brittleness, and lackluster strands accompany dry, cold weather. While we can’t control the climate, we can combat winter hair complaints with these expert fixes.
 

Winter is brutal on our hair. While gusting winds and frigid temps outside whip our tresses into a flyaway mess, the desert-like conditions inside our home and office do even more harm. “It’s indoor heating that really dries out the hair and weakens the hair cuticle,” says cosmetic chemist and BeautyStat.com founder Ron Robinson. “Without that protective barrier, hair fibers peel and break.”

Smooth, straight, frizz-free hair seems like the holy grail for most of us ladies. With such hair innovations like the Brazilian Blowout and other keratin treatments, it seemed like our dream was finally coming true. And then suddenly, there was a huge controversy over the safety of these hair smoothing salon treatments.
Many of our members asked us to investigate safe alternatives. So we researched one such salon treatment. We reviewed Surface Smooth And Healthy Hair Treatment. We found that treatment contains plenty of natural ingredients including …

Formaldehyde fears have all but taken the world hostage, but still, fighting “fuzz” is making big buzz. One keratin treatment was even featured on The View yesterday.
It’s true – the Brazilian Blowout used to be the most popular kid in beauty school, but now it’s been banned from the entire country of Canada. (Click here for formaldehyde test results on the most popular products.)

Luckily, safe alternatives exist in hair care and styling, and we’re so excited about you trying them that we’re giving some away today for free! …

Dear Nicole Richie,
I’m glad you love the Brazilian Blowout. Really, I do. But not all of us have a Hollywood salary, so please… stop taunting me.
Sincerely,
Responsible Recessionista
Dear Responsible Recessionista:
Don’t worry; I get it.
You read Beauty Stat’s coverage of the Brazilian Blowout with bated breath. Frizz-free hair that shines? Silky tresses that air dry better than you can style them yourself? Never in my wildest dreams, you thought. And then you saw the price tag – $300 to $600, – and you realized you were dreaming. But that’s no reason to …

You’ve heard much of the Brazilian Blowout over the last year. Nicole Richie swears it’s freed her from having to blow dry her gorgeously glossy head of hair. Vogue calls it “seriously liberating.”
Well, I for one have been “seriously intrigued,” so when Allan’s Salon invited me in for the treatment, I didn’t think twice.

What exactly is the Brazilian Blowout?
First things first. According to the official site, the Brazilian Blowout is the only professional smoothing treatment that gives you smooth, shiny, frizz free hair without using any harsh …

Sometimes, you wake up and realize you’ve gone far too long between salon appointments, and worse, you don’t foresee making it there in the reasonable future either. You have weeks of frizzy, badly-behaved hair with no redeeming hope in sight. And by ‘you,’ I mean ‘I,’ of course. With this bad hair month in mind, I tested Redken’s Real Control Slim Supreme Slimming Serum (www.redken.com for salons).

The serum packs cationic conditioners, protein, ceramide, and shea butter to hydrate, then smooth the hair cuticle, temporarily reducing volume …
