As smooth as ice: part 2

If you missed Part 1

Remember my hair air dried before:

Air dried after the treatment:

Can you believe it??? I can’t, I wish you could feel how soft and smooth it is. I normally can only get my hair this soft after I blow dry with a round brush, flat iron and product.

Here it is styled: A you can see it still has “jersey” body but is so soft, I only used the round brush for my bangs, the rest was used using a regular brush.

I LOVE Melissa Lobaito!!!

As smooth as ice?

This week I treated myself to a 3 hour pampering session with Melissa Lobaito. After several years of wanting different hair, I decided to try the Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment.  Could I really have different hair?

The process took about about 3 hours, she shampooed my hair, dried it, applied the Keratin, let it sit for about a half hour, then dried it again. Then Melissa used a flat iron to activate the treatment.  I left with the most amazing silky smooth hair. But…. Did it work and how much difference would there be if any?

A few things to consider… You can’t wash or get your hair wet for 72 FULL hours. If you sweat or get it wet, you MUST dry it and flat iron it, immediately. No pins, clips, ponytails or hats. The hair must remain flat for the 72 hours. After the 72 hours is up, you can return to using your normal products, clips pins and hats. Another thing is you need to use “special” sodium chloride and sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. 

Here are pictures over the 3 day “process”.

PLEASE NOTE: I normally have oily hair, so it was no surprise to me that my unwashed hair was greasy.

Before Treatment:

This is my hair air dried.

This is my hair styled. My hair is soft and smooth but I used a huge round brush and flat iron to remove and ringlets.

Right after treatment: It was so soft, smooth and silky. No ‘fly away” hairs. I was shocked to see my hair this perfect!

24 hours later: It was still soft, I did flat iron it in the morning, I sweat while sleeping. But it still looks and feels amazing.

Happy Birthday my little man!

Fall 2010 008

I let my kids pick the cake they want, no matter how big, small, ugly, cute, whatever. Nikolas picked this cake, even though we only had 20 guest. The cake feed 60 people, but this is what he picked!

The Hulk hand, was an actual mold of Nikolas’ hand. I purchased one of this baby keepsake kits from Joann’s and instead of pouring the plaster in it, I poured chocolate in it.  The flavors were…

Spiderman Tier:  Snickerdoodle Cake with Cream cheese icing, and vanilla caramel mousse filling.

Batman Tier:  was yellow cake with strawberry butter cream

Hulk Tier: was chocolate cake with vanilla caramel mousse filling

Superman Tier: was chocolate cake with chocolate strawberry mousse filling.

A day with my loves..
