Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Nutritive Micro-Oils provide extra conditioning benefits to nourish straight, wavy or curly hair and give long lasting smoothness and frizz control. Helps makes hair 5x smoother and 5x stronger and so much shinier*. Adds manageability and improves texture for all hair types without weighing hair down." (about the conditioner) "With Nutritive Micro-Oils, Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Deep Conditioner helps tame frizz and flyaways. It nourishes straight, wavy or curly hair and helps makes hair 5x smoother and 5x stronger and so much shinier*. This 3-minute masque improves texture and manageability for all hair types without weighing it down."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Straight to the point (no pun intended): I LOVE this line. It's inexpensive, smells amazing, and makes my hair feel soft and look great. My hair really is significantly smoother when I use this, especially when I also use the deep conditioner, which doesn't weigh my hair down. I have very coarse, randomly frizzy hair, so anything that can help tame it is a winner in my book. Especially when it doesn't take a huge chunk out of my wallet.

Retail Price: $3.99 each (at drugstores everywhere)

DeLush Rating:

Profound Beauty Volume Power Spray

What They Say: "This patent-pending 75mph spray creates unprecedented volume, thickness and dramatic root lift. Micro-fine styling particles are released at high speed, propelling the product directly to the root of the hair, resulting in intense lift and windblown, spontaneous movement."

Melissa Says: This definitely did give my hair a bit of a boost, especially when used throughout my entire hair while bending over and spraying liberally (one of the suggested applications). Once I brushed it through I had increased body with no buildup at all and a soft look. However, in terms of root-lifting, I couldn't achieve a significant difference. I think perhaps my hair is too heavy for the holding level of this spray for me to get any significant root volume from it that didn't get quickly weighed down; this is why I believe this could be a great natural-feel body building spray for those with fine or thin hair. For me, it's nice for a boost in overall fullness, but it didn't achieve exactly what it promised.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors; go to profoundbeauty.com to find one near you)
