AG Hair Cosmetics Conditioning Mist Detangling Conditioner

What They Say:

AG's instant, spray-in detangler
Leave-in mist conditions and detangles in wet or dry hair
Lightweight and versatile for all hair types, especially children's hair
Contain silk protein, keratin and wheat to improve moisture, strength, elasticity, and shine
Detangles, moisturizes and protects hair without weighing it down

Jamie's Thoughts: This product pulls double, even triple duty. As a curly girl, I love it when I can use a spray conditioner to refresh my curls on a "skip" day (i.e. when I don't wash my hair). This product really is lightweight enough to use for that purpose - there's no icky buildup later on, no weird residue, and my hair doesn't seem heavier afterwards.

I also really like this on damp hair - it definitely makes my hair easier to comb (since the only time a brush or comb hits this head is when my hair is wet - maybe once a day). I also like that I can use this before my normal styling products without looking like I have multiple products in my hair - it's light as water, and plays well with pomades, waxes, mousses, etc.

The company also suggests on their website that this can be used as a facial spritzer - a quick pick-me-up refreshing moisturizer. I have an overseas vacation coming up, so I'll pour some into a trial-size spray bottle and give it a try. The dry, canned air on planes really takes a toll on my combination skin.

The scent is nice but not too strong, and the bottle is large. I anticipate this one will last me all summer, and into the fall. Well played, AG Hair Cosmetics!

Retail Price: $14USD, $14.50CAD (see www.aghaircosmetics.com for a list of retailers)

AG Hair Cosmetics infrastructure Structurizing Paste

What They Say: An original micro-fibre paste supports structured texture and volume with flexible hold and shine.

Directions: Rub a small amount between the palms and work through dry hair coaxing into desired volume and shape. Recommended for moldable, flexible support.

Protects Formulated with a non PABA sunscreen
Humidity resistant copolymers Increase the hair's fullness and volume
Cyclomethicone and phenyl trimethicone Silicone ingredients impart long lasting shine
Octyl Methoxycinnamate Sunscreen

Style tips:

for added texture, apply on mostly dry hair
really emulsify in hands to soften and activate microfibres
apply with the palms not the fingers
begin application in the back
apply a little twice instead of a lot once

What Lisa Says: If you're looking for a product to add texture, shine and body to your hair, look no further. This product is definitely worth trying. It usually takes 2 or 3 different products for me to tame the frizzies and add shine as well as texture and body. I got all three in this one little tube.

I have a whole arsenal of hair care products that I usually bring out depending on whether I opt for straightening or to let my hair do it's own naturally curly thing. I use one product to add shine, another for texture & body and yet another to help protect my locks from the sun. This thick, fruity scented paste does what all the other products do combined.

As I am not a daily hair washer, the thickness of this product scared me a bit at first. I had visions of bogged down sticky hair that would need daily washing. Oh, was I pleasantly surprised! Not only did it add the perfect amount of texture, body and shine, but it did so with very little product. My hair looked shiny and my tamed curls were still gorgeous by the end of the day. I woke the next morning and again applied a tiny bit of this product without washing first to see if this product would perform well or build up and bog my hair down. Nope! My hair was just as beautiful using it daily, between washings with no build-up to weigh the hair down. Not only does my hair retain its shape and texture but also it leaves my hair soft, touchable and well protected from the sun. All this combines to make this structuring paste one of my favorite summer finds.

DO follow the directions though. Less is more when using this paste and I think you'll be pleased with the outcome.

Retail Price: 3 fl. Oz./ app. $18.00 USD (check here for a salon near you in the U.S. or Canada)
