There’s nothing quite like a good hair day—somehow the stars have aligned and your tresses look phenomenal. Capture that with a seflie, quick! Whether it’s a perfect hair day or help from some fantastic products, it always feels great when your hair is in a happy mood. I was recently introduced to White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray and White Sands Liquid Texture Extreme Hairspray, which are both part of the White Sands line of hair products that are loved by celebrity stylists and are used on the cast of shows like Riverdale and the Young and the Restless.

I’ve been using both of these products for a few weeks and have really loved how they make my hair look and feel. Here’s a rundown on both of these fantastic products.
The Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray (Medium Hold) is ideal for use with hot styling tools like a flat iron or curling iron due to its thermal guards, color enhancers, and ability to resist moisture. Liquid Texture Medium is really unique as it allows you to put a hot iron on wet hair and the more heat that is applied, the shinier the hair becomes. You’ll also notice a huge difference when blow drying your hair with this product. It lets your brush glide right through your hair without catching, achieving a smooth style with plenty of volume and shine. All you need is the Liquid Texture Medium, a blow dryer and a round brush to have a beautiful, bouncy blow out. Boom!
The Liquid Texture Firm Hold Extreme Hairspray is a lifesaver for me. It keeps my flyaway hair under control and holds my styles perfectly. This product is not only a strong hold hairspray, but it works well for creating styles too. It isn’t a sticky, heavy hairspray and it can be easily combed through and has incredible memory to provide long-lasting hold that can stand up to humidity. It is thermal intelligent, so the more heat used, the shinier the hair becomes. I love how this product leaves my hair feeling soft and silky without flaking or leaving residue on my hot products (like my curling iron). Built up residue is a pain to remove and it makes my hot tools less effective.
Both products are must-haves for me, especially with a hot, humid summer on the way. Stock up on these summer essentials on the White Sands website and you can connect with the company over on Facebook too.
With so many skincare products available today, it can get confusing to know which products to use and when. Let’s break it down to the easiest of easy. We all should be using a good cleanser, daytime moisturizer and a night cream. Many people think …
A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on one of the latest products from a new line of BioSilk hair products that incorporates organic coconut oil. I’m back to tell you about another great product in that new BioSilk line–BioSilk Therapy with Organic Coconut …
It seems like everyone is talking about the benefits of coconut oil. Start chatting up co-workers at the water cooler or parents at a PTA meeting about coconut oil and you’ll feel like you are living in a real-life infomercial. Everyone will tell you about some clever way they are using coconut oil—cooking with it, brushing ones teeth with it, healing bruises with it—the uses and its benefits are endless. I am just joining the coconut oil bandwagon and what a splendid bandwagon it is! I’ve been using BioSilk Silk Therapy with Organic Coconut Oil’s 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash for the last few weeks and love the versatility and gentleness of this product.

This product is part of the BioSilk Therapy and Organic Coconut Oil line and is incredibly gentle, yet it still removes impurities all while adding essential moisture to the hair and skin. BioSilk Silk Therapy was developed more than 30 years ago, but now the formula welcomes the addition of organic virgin Coconut Oil, combining it with silk for the first time to add moisture, maintain healthy hair and provide a subtle glow to the skin.
I love that is a 3-in-1 product—it’s perfect for me when I’m traveling. Many times, I don’t like the hotel soaps and shampoos as they usually dry out my skin and hair. This is a no brainer to throw into your suitcase and keep your skin and hair looking and feeling great on the go. In addition to leaving your skin soft and nourished, your hair will get a boost of moisture as well as color protection, which is a must for me and my highlights.
With its infusion of organic coconut oil and silk, BioSilk Silk Therapy & Organic Coconut Oil 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash is gentle enough for daily use and provides the kind of intense moisture hair and skin need, especially during the winter months. This product also protects your hair against heat and environmental damage while it adds shine, luster and silky smooth softness. Oh, and it smells absolutely amazing like a slice of summer vacation.
As I mentioned, you can use this product daily. Simply apply the desired amount onto your palms and distribute evenly throughout damp hair. For use as a body wash, apply onto a washcloth or body sponge and massage into the skin. You can purchase the product online from Loxa Beauty and you can connect with the brand over on Facebook.
