Ojon - Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy - Review



Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy



Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy



I have tried my fair share of hair products during my lifetime. Hair has always been an object of obsession to me as a child. I am blessed with frizzy, dry hair, that fear rain and humidity. And I've tried hundreds of products over the years to help tame and condition my locks.

After seeing Ojon products pop up on numerous beauty blogs, I could not wait to try some of their products myself, but I could not get myself to bite the bullet for the $35.00 price tag. Fortunately, I was able to try Ojon's Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum, when I visited my sister in Paris this summer and raided her cosmetic drawer (shh!). Let's just say it was love at first sight. The first time I used it was during a weekend trip to Versailles. I was absolutely shocked at how it kept my hair soft, shiny, and completely smooth, during the rainy and gloomy December weather, which for me NEVER happens (my hair turns to a curly, frizzy mess at a first sign of humidity). Needless to say, I was in love. After dropping a lot of hints, I finally scored my own bottle of Ojon from my lovely sister this Christmas.

On to the review -- What strikes me the most about the Ojon brand, is their use of natural ingredients. The Ojon Rare Blend is GMO, Paraben, and Synthetic Fragrance free. This luxurious bottle contains a potent blend of Amber, Crystal, and Red natural oils, that add an immense amount of shine and moisture to my hair, which with its help, is so low maintenance. It is a staple in my Spring/Summer hair routine. No other hair oils get any love from me since I discovered Ojon (yes, even the uber expensive Moroccan Oil). My only criticism goes to the lack of a pump of pipette on the bottle, which makes it very easy to use too much product (of which you need the most minimal amount), and leaking is also a problem.


The Verdict?

Holiday Guide to Bold and Glamorous Lips


This holiday season is perfect for making a statement and taking beauty risks. While the trusty smoky eye may seem appropriate for your holiday parties, opt for a more understated eye look and put on your favorite bright lipstick, that is sure to pair perfectly with a little black cocktail dress. I put together a little guide to festive bold lips that are sure to make a statement. Leave your eyes more natural for a more modern look, or pair with a light winged liner and faux lashes for a more classic, retro-inspired look (think Marilyn Monroe).  For a more edgy bold lip, try a beautiful fuschia lip color. One of my favorites is NARS Sciap.
