Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: PROFECTIV Root Health Anti-Dryness Strengthener

Hello Divas!

I hope all is well!

Remember you can choose to be happy or miserable. You only have one life.  Be happy!

I have been testing out a new product on Luxe Baby's hair.  Now you know I LOVE Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercream for her hair.  It defines her pretty curls and slicks her hair into a style unlike any other hair product.  Plus I really do believe it is making her hair grow like wild fire...or it could be because she has hair like her grandmother...but I digress.  I love it. 

But recently I ran out of Baby Buttercream and I have not had the time to go to Curltopia to get a couple more jars.  So until I do, I found Strength of Nature, Profective Root Health Anti-Dryness Strengthener in my beauty arsenal.  I received the product to test about 6 months ago, but never had a need to use it.  Well desperate times call for desperate measures and I had to find something to tame her hair into ponytails and twists.

This hair cream is light weight and instantly moisturizes her hair.  This product is designed for persons who have natural hair styles and are suffering from dryness, itching and flaking.   So it is extremely moisturizing.  It does define her natural curls and does not make her hair feel sticky.  The baby buttercream does make her hair sticky, but it keeps her styles in place.  The Profective Root Health does not necessarily keep her hair style in place.  It is a bit too light weight for luxe baby's hair.  But overall it has been a good substitute for the past two weeks.  I think the Profective is perfect as a natural styling product for natural divas with light to medium hair textures.

PROFECIV Root Health Anti-Dryness Strengthener retails for $4.99 and you can purchase it from CVS.

Curltopia Hair Salon, Summer Deals on Keratin Treatments & More!

Hello Divas!

I hope your week has started off wonderfully!

As you Divas know, I love Curltopia Hair Salon.  I first visited the salon for a Miss Jessie's event and then returned to receive their steam and hydration treatment.  The steam and hydration treatment is beyond fabulous.  It made my hair feel like silk!

Curltopia is known for their natural hair care and color services.  Throngs of natural hair Divas flock to this salon to maintain their curly locks!  However, Curltopia also offers services for straight hair divas and other "special services."   They are Keratin treatments, eyelash extensions, and waxing.  Curltopia is one of the few salons in Atlanta that offers Keratin treatments.  If you Divas have not heard, Keratin treatments are the new rage in hair care. Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy infuses natural keratin deep into the hair's cuticle.  This treatment eliminates up to 95% of frizz and curl and instantly adds amazing shine, silkiness and condition to the hair.  It works well on all hair types included color treated and chemically processed hair.  Unlike relaxers, keratin is natural and nourishes the hair.  The therapy encases the hair follicle with a keratin bond to promote healing and help keep toxins in the environment, such as smoke, pollution, and UV rays from damaging the hair.  Now that is genius!

Curltopia also offers full eyelash extensions.   Each eyelash is applied individually for a natural looking full and lush eyelashes.  One eyelash extension application lasts for 2-3 months!

Right now Curltopia is running a Summer promotion on their Keratin treatments and eyelash extensions.  Receive a Keratin treatment and Curltopia will give you a free trim and a complimentary steam hydration and blowout on your next visit!  In addition if you mention this post, you can receive any eyelash extension service at 15% off.  Also Curltopia sells Miss Jessie's products.  They are kicking off a new customer loyalty program featuring Miss Jessie's products.  For every $25 spent on Miss Jessie's products, customers will get a stamp on a customer loyalty card.  Once the card is full, customers will receive $25 off their next Miss Jessie's purchase.  I am definitely purchasing my Miss Jessie's products from Curltopia because I love to save money. 

These are great deals! I hope you Divas get an opportunity to take advantage of these offers.

Salon Week: Curltopia Salon in Smyrna, GA

Hello Divas!

I hope your day was filled with hope and promise!

Remember this week is Salon Week on Luxetips and today I am featuring Curltopia Salon in Symrna, Ga. Smyrna is a very nice and hip suburb of Atlanta and Curltopia is doing their thing!

I first blogged about Curltopia when they hosted a Miss Jessie's Meet and Greet Event. I was truly impressed with the decor and the customer service. So when I was offered an opportunity to receive their Steam Hydration Treatment and Styling Service, I was super excited!

What I love about Curltopia is the decor! The salon is decorated in rich turquoise and black tones and is very spacious! Curltopia has a very comfortable "lounging at home" feeling and as soon as I entered I was instantly relaxed!

I had an appointment with the famous Taz. Taz is a legendary natural hair care stylist and does several of my friends hair! He specializes in locs and twists. Natural hair Divas swear by his services. Since I get my hair blow dried and pressed regularly, I was curious to see what he would do with my hair.

There is Taz in the background!


His assistant immediately offered me a cup of hot tea! Boy do I love good customer service! Considering it was raining that day, it was the perfect relaxing drink. She then washed my hair using Deva Curl Shampoo. Afterwards, she applied Miss Jessie's Rapid Recovery Treatment and then placed me under a "Steam Machine" to receive a Steam Hydration Treatment. The treatment lasted about 20 minutes and once it was over and the product was rinsed out of my hair, my hair felt like pure silk. No kidding! My hair was so soft, moisturized and manageable, I could not believe it! In addition, my natural curl pattern was enhanced and I actually am considering wearing my hair in its naturally curly state! Fab!

I had to wait a long while for Taz because as I stated he is in high demand. But the employees at Curltopia made sure I was comfortable and offered more tea. Plus they also have free wi-fi! Once I was in his chair, he began to educate me on maintaining healthy natural hair and the steps I need to take to wear my natural curl pattern. He definitely knows his stuff! I learned so much during my visit. He also blow dried my hair wet and told me to make sure to use Ceramic flat irons to straighten my hair. He said it would minimize the breakage. He informed me that I needed a trim and gave me a slight trim on the ends of my hair. I was sad to see my hair go, but I know it was much needed.

Nice and Healthy Hair!

The price of a blow-out and press is between $45 and $60. Haircuts are $40, which I thought was very steep. However, If you get a press and hair cut, the cost is between $55 and $75, which is a pretty sweet deal! Locs and Twists range from $70 to $90. The hydration treatment is $25 and well worth EVERY PENNY! It is recommended that naturally curly hair Divas receive the treatment once a week.

After my styling service, I received many compliments on my hair. Although it is shorter, it is more healthy and super shiny. In addition, the Steam Hydration treatment had my hair so soft and silky all week! Divas this treatment is a must, must, must.

Curltopia is located at 3150 Highland Pkway, Suite 203, Smyrna, GA. The phone number is 770.434.5585. They also offer excellent coloring services, relaxers, and other styling services. Visit their website for more details!

Conversation with Titi and Miko: Owners of Miss Jessie's

Hello Divas!

I hope your day is fantabulous! This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet and briefly interview the owners of Miss Jessie's Hair Products. Titi, Miko, and their team were in Atlanta at Curltopia salon, to give FREE hair consultations and recommend products to their loyal fans! Although I had yet to try their products, I knew the Miss Jessie's story and was eager to meet this dynamic sister business team. Titi and Miko started the company in honor of their grandmother, Miss Jessie. Since the early 90s, both sisters have been specializing in caring for naturally curly, mixed texture, and kinky hair. Their natural hair care products have developed a cult following and are very effective in enhancing the curl in all hair textures. I ventured out to Curltopia with luxe baby to meet Titi and Miko in person. I heard the Baby Buttercream would be great for luxe baby's hair.

When I arrived at Curltopia, there was a line, but it was moving expeditiously. I introduced myself to a Curltopia staff person and was whisked in. When I entered the salon, I was very very impressed with the decor. It is very spacious, inviting, and beautifully decorated! There are ample hair stations and all the staff were personable and very courteous.

I spoke to Trish the salon manager and she made sure I got an opportunity to speak with Titi and Miko. I first met Titi. I asked her to assess luxe baby's hair and to please give me some styling suggestions. She said I should use the Baby Buttercream and do a simple coil out. This technique includes taking your index finger and rolling the hair until it coils. Titi actually coiled a section of luxe baby's hair! Thank goodness luxe baby did not show out! lol!

I then asked Titi what was her number one suggestion for healthy curly or kinky hair. She said to "make sure you get your hair trimmed twice a year and to keep the hair moisturized. She said naturally curly or kinky hair tends to dry out, so to avoid breakage, it must stay moisturized." I then asked Titi what was the one product she used most on her client's hair. She said "the Baby Buttercream. It is light and works with all hair textures!"

Titi graciously agreed to take a picture with me and luxe baby.

I then met Miko and was able to get a picture of the sisters together. They are just too beautiful and fabulous!

Miss Jessie's offer a range of hair care products for different hair textures and to achieve different curls or styles. Check out their list of products here. I did purchase the Baby Buttercream and so far so good! Even the hubby has commented on how cute luxe baby hair looks!

Divas if you live in the Atlanta area make sure you visit Curltopia. They specialize in all hair types. They service natural styles (2 strand twists, coils), blow outs, presses, and relaxers. They also provide hair cuts and coloring services. Visit their website here for more details!
