When I started HairBoutique back in 1996-1997 I promised myself I would continue to try all the products that HairBoutique.com sells in their Marketplace.  With that promise in mind I recently did some user testing of Leonor Greyl’s fabulous Huile De Palme.

HairBoutique.com has been carrying the complete Leonor Greyl line for some years now but I tend to get lazy and not want to swap out from my regulars that I have been rotating through for many years which are cherry picked from Phyto, Rene Furterer, JF Lazartique, Paul Mitchell and L’Oreal.

Yes, there is a recession right now and I am watching my pennies like almost everyone else but because my own hair is naturally wavy/curly and naturally dry, I have been diluting or Conditioning Only (CO) washing my hair for many years now.

I also do regular oil treatments but when one of my faves was discontinued I decided to create my own - HairTopia oil - which I used on a daily basis alternating the oil with the mist.  I love jojoba oil for my hair but it is not for all hair types and textures.

Which brings me to the Leonor Greyl Huile De Palme.  I love all the Leonor Greyl packaging because it is clean and pristine.  Even before Gwen Stefani the No Doubt group made Leonor Greyl product line their hair care of choice for their 2009-2010 concert tour, I loved the company, their customer care and the results the product delivers.

Eva Longoria stole the limelight at a Hollywood award ceremony on October 21th. Eva Longoria celebrated L’Oreal’s 100th anniversary with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday.

The gorgeous Mrs. Tony Parker was flanked by Andie MacDowell and Kate del Castillo.  The three brunette beauties all slammed their hands into wet cement together.

Eva was also in the news becuase she recently told OK! Magazine one of her “beauty secrets”.  She said “you know what product that I love the most that you have to try?”

Her answer? “The collagen mascara (L’Oreal’s Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara).” She told OK! “I always used to wear false lashes, and now I don’t have to because this mascara totally pops your eyes and I love it.”

Regardless of whether or not she has switched out false lashes for L’Oreal silicone mascara or not, she was appropriately glammed up for her appearance.  Her L’Oreal hair and make-up looked stunning.  Would you expect anything less from the Desperate Housewife?

Louise O’Connor: Hair Stylist and Owner of OC61 Salon and Spa

I had the great fortune to interview Louise O’Connor right before she opened her OC61 Salon and Spa in New York City.  She was warm, funny and very charming, not to mention how open she was to sharing about her knowledge of hair.

Louise has earned her reputation as a trend-setting hair stylist and ultimate professional through her extensive experience, easy-going personality and attention to detail.

Her signature styles work with the hair’s natural texture for a modern, edgy sophistication that never looks dated or overdone.

Louise has worked with many top celebrities over the years but feels most satisfied when working with her extensive following of regular clients to find each one’s individual style.

Louise works extensively with top fashion designers who look to her to craft the hottest hair trends for the season. Louise has led her team of incomparable stylists to create the head-turning looks for Badgley Mischka, Ports 1961 and Joanna Mastroianni. (more…)

While some of the world’s most fashion forward minds may already be living in Fall 2008, the rest of us are content to reside in June soaking up the summer rays.

Unfortunately we are only 6 months into the year and already the Yves Saint Laurent company has had their fair share of ups and downs. (more…)
