How to Get Hair Volume with OOKISA Nighttime Follicle Renewing Serum

April 4, 2011 · Leave a Comment

If you are a soon to be bride, it’s time to start thinking about your bridal hair style. Unfortunately, you may not be able to whip your hair into the style you’ve been dreaming about without a little trial and error in the weeks and months prior. Now is a great time to try some products and techniques geared towards getting the perfect bridal hair style.

There are two problems that I think most brides encounter: hair that is crunchy and dull due to products and hairspray, and lack of volume. Both can take your fabulous locks and make your bridal hairstyle look less than picture perfect.

You know about OOKISA Nighttime Follicle Renewing Serum from our review of the OOKISA line. It’s a great product for styling, and I think it has special value for brides.

First, it is weightless and touchable. Second, it gives fantastic volume at the root. Third, if your bridal hair style requires day-old hair, Follicle Renewing Serum can be sprayed onto dry hair to get great touchable volume

How to Get Bridal Hair Volume with OOKISA Nighttime Follicle Renewing Serum

Here’s a quick how-to: starting at your part, pick up one inch sections straight in the air and spray Follicle Renewing Serum at the roots. Then, still holding the section up, blast the spot with a blow dryer for about ten seconds. Lay hair to the opposite site while it cools (aka across your part), and repeat with each section. Once you are finished with all 1 inch sections on a side, flip that half of your hair back, light tousle, and repeat on the other side of your part.This technique works especially well if you have long layers. If you have especially thick hair, try 1 1/2″ or 2″ sections.

Product Review: OOKISA Infinite Volume Collection

February 15, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I was recently sent some products from the newly relaunched OOKISA Infinite Volume Haircare line and I am loving the lift and weightless volume I’m getting from the line. The shampoo and conditioner claim color retention properties, and Lyn will be reporting on that after she colors her hair in a week or so. But what is really impressing me is the volume and anti-breakage strength that the line is giving my hair.

First off, all the products in the line are Paraben-free, sulfate-free, hormone-free, alcohol-free, cruelty-free and allergy tested. They also contain Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, which is the active ingredient in a few eyelash growth products that work at the level of the follicle by reducing DHT (the stuff that makes hair fall out). So ostensibly, using the OOKISA collection could increase the length of time of your hair’s growth cycle, aka your hair will be longer (just remember to keep up with trimming your ends!)

Here’s the rundown of what is really wowing me about each of the three products that I tried:

OOKISA Fortifying Shampoo – I was immediately impressed with how concentrated and luxurious the texture of the shampoo is. It’s a standard gel shampoo consistency coming out of the tube, but when you rub it between your hands, it turns into a thick, rich cream consistency. It is an incredibly gentle shampoo and it washes out clean and left my hair smooth and shiny. After 3 uses of the shampoo and 2 uses of the conditioner I noticed that my hair was more resistant to breakage – when I was running my fingers through my hair after I got out of the shower last night, a hair caught around my finger. Typically it would have broken, but it just stretched. If you have brittle hair, Fortifying Shampoo is worth a try.

OOKISA Replenishing Conditioner – This is a great daily conditioner. It is lightweight, and can be left on for longer periods of time if your hair needs a deep treatment. It plumped the hair shaft out and left me with great volume. Like the shampoo, it washes out cleanly and isn’t perfumed but leaves a fresh, clean scent. I loved how my scalp felt afterwards – it felt more like a deep conditioning treatment (with a little scalp massage thrown in) instead of a daily conditioner.

OOKISA Nighttime Follicle Renewing Serum– This was the jaw-dropping product of the line for me. I applied a few sprays, and then rough dried my hair. When I flipped my hair back over, I was astonished at the bouncy, natural volume. This isn’t a 1980’s hairspray volumized look, this is natural, youthful, healthy volume with absolutely no stickiness or stiffness. Actually, there was no sign that I had product in my hair, and amazingly, the volume held through the night and the next day. I have long layers in the front, and the lift that Renewing Serum provided frames my face and provides a swingy, bouncy, lustrous look.
