GOOD Hair Day... Everyday

Today I had a spa day… for my hair! When I tell you about my products, you’ll understand why it wasn’t just “shampooed” and “conditioned”. I pamper my hair twice a week now thanks to my soulmate, Juan Juan. My hero! His line of hair care products has made a bigger difference in my life than I ever thought possible.

Being of Native-American and African-American descent, my hair is, well… complicated. If you like reading maps, you might be able to see the divide in my hair. Big problems for me since forever! Two completely different textures on one head…NICE! With hair so complex, it didn’t take long for me to go the DIY route as no salon was ever able to give me the lasting results I sought.

Without a beautician running the show, I was essentially starting from scratch but that didn’t stop me. What products should I use? Many recommendations came from friends and family but they didn’t have the two hair types, so I was usually left half satisfied. And so the quest began…

I made my way through practically every hair care product on the shelves, never having total contentment for one small reason or another. Split ends, oily or dry scalp, flaking. Determined girl I am, I started doing what comes so natural now. I read the ingredients (duh!) and learned that most of them contained a loong list of questionable ingredients that mimicked the fine print on my multi-page auto warranty. To say “I was disgusted” is an understatement. I was positive the chemicals were doing more harm than good. And I’m allergic to sulfates! Why hadn’t I noticed these ingredients before? So my new “All Natural” mission was born.

Fortunate for me, it didn’t take years of sampling and disappointment for me to find what was just right for me. I wandered into a tidy little beauty shop and the owner off-handedly suggested J Beverly Hills. I was naturally skeptical but willing to give it a shot. That turned out to be one of the best beauty decisions I’ve ever made! To say, I was rescued by Juan Juan’s products is an understatement. His sulfate-free shampoo (for fragile hair…YAH!) and Everyday Moisture Infusing shampoo, Rescue conditioner and Masque -- for all hair types -- have ended my search for the perfect-for-me hair products! My hair is infinitely shiny and healthy now, and it’s no longer a chore to tend to my locks. It’s a treat.

When I want volume, there's a shampoo and conditioner for that. Unruly hair? No problem. Best friend with the crazee wild hair is hooked on the Control Taming shampoo and conditioner. J Beverly Hills has something to treat all of the common troubles we encounter at one time or another on our color-treated, over processed, stressed hair. Not to mention it keeps my hair healthy.

After several months of regular use, I returned to the quaint little shop and bought six bottles of each... and a few bottles of Crazy Straight – for my sleek, chic days. And what girl can resist the Leave On conditioner? I did say I was a shopaholic, right? Hehe. This time it paid off big. Many years have passed and I'm a happy hair girl!
