BLAME IT ON RIO
Getting a Brazilian has taken on a whole new meaning in my life. OBRIGADO!
During a visit to the divine Anushka Cosmedical Centre, Spa and Salon in Palm Beach, where the polo set go for brilliant BOTOX® and master body massages, Anushka insisted on having Shawn dabble with my overprocessed highlights. I sat in his chair as Shawn ran his fingers through my frazzled tresses and exclaimed, “Girl, you need a Brazilian!” I replied in total ignorance, “OMG you want to wax my head?” The rest is history. Before I could say “Nao,” Jill, known as the Pasha of Protein, was swathing my hair in a thick gel. She then flat ironed it slowly and meticulously for what took two hours and told me
SMOOTH ILLUSION
Â
AVEDA SMOOTH INFUSION STYLE PREP SMOOTHER  – I used the signature Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo for years because of the subtle tingling and wake me up feeling I got in the morning. But I have to admit that Aveda has never been a “go to” brand for me, so do take that in consideration when you read my review. However, the Smooth Infusion hair care was given to me in a goody bag at some event and I decided to give it a try. It is a leave in treatment for smoothing and styling that is designed to be a barrier to protect hair against humidity, i.e. FRIZZ. It contains a large assortment of botanicals, including organic tapioca, aloe, maize, wheat and guar bean. Works nicely pre blowdrying and flat ironing to protect hair. Also good to use on flyaway ends. If you love it, there is also a Shampoo and Conditioner in the same range. $24 for the Prep.
FINAL VERDICT – ICW (IT CAN WAIT) – Smells fresh, light and herbal, and leaves hair silky. It is a nice enough product, but I would not be compelled to buy it. It is also a pump, so doesn’t travel well.
