Profound Beauty Atmosphere Arctic Chill

What They Say: "Where do you want your hair to go? Atmosphere transports your hair to its ideal climate, changing its Relative Humidity to behave like it's in the arctic. Beyond styling, Atmosphere surrounds hair in a new form of control and texturizing possibility. Go where it takes you. Transports your hair to an arctic climate. Hair becomes sleek, smooth with icy high shine."

Alissa's Opinion: I'm not exactly sure how I would describe this product. It dispenses like a mousse, looks like a gel and behaves like a styling cream. The formula feels quite gooey when applying and the stickiness doesn't completely disappear after blow drying. I found it easier than usual to get my hair stick straight, but my round brush almost got stuck a few times. The shine factor was definitely pumped up after using this, and my sleek style lasted all day. The biggest downside was the smell, which was very much like a bathroom cleaner and unfortunately long lasting.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors - go here to find one near you)

Review: Profound Beauty Stylist Curl Cream

What They Say: For medium to very coarse hair texture.

Reinforces a more natural curl that is clean smooth and glossy. It is a moisture infusing cream that creates contour, smoothes the cuticle and nurtures curl definition and shape. Curl cream maintains natural volume in the hair for shiny, defined, controlled curls. Uses select conditioning ingredients to reinforce the curl's natural contour leaving them soft and supple.

How to Use: Distribute evenly through towel-dried hair. Finger style curls into desired shape. Squeeze for a tighter curl. Blow dry with diffuser, or air dry.

What Lisa Says: I was really conflicted about this product. It's great for "curlies" who like to skip blow drying and opt for beautiful air-dried curls. Once styled with my fingers or scrunched for tighter curls, my hair had more volume and the results were lovely. That said, my hair felt coarser and bit dried out after use and I never got good results using my diffuser. The cream smelled faintly like my hair color and my hair just wasn't as "touchable" as I like. I did travel quite a bit with this bottle in tow. The pump dispenser was very sturdy and traveled very well without any leaking.

Profound Beauty has an excellent website with a "Find Your Routine" feature that did not list this as among the best products for my hair. I have a hunch that's why I'm struggling to really embrace it. I will add that my hair looked good enough that I will probably purchase 1 or 2 of the recommended products for my hair and give them a try.

Retail Price: 5 oz/$24.00 (check Profound Beauty for salon near you)
