Joico Hair Shake Review and a easy hair look.

Joico has come up with a fantastic new product to add amazing texture and volume to hair. I have had this sitting on my beauty desk for a while now and have been playing with it to get the hang of using it and see what its all about.

The Joico Hair Shake is a Liquid to Powder finishing texturizer that adds life to hair by giving it great texture with lift and volume. Think luscious sexy big summer hair!! Hair with playful life! A great way to bring out layers and create sexy wavy hair with lasting volume that is still soft to the touch and non sticky. It can be used on all hair types and it super flash dries once it hits hair so there is no waiting for it to dry making it perfect for even the rushed mornings! The product also helps hold a style in place.

The Product comes in a beautiful black to grey fade bottle with a spray nozzle. It sprays out a clear fine liquid mist that quickly dries to a powder finish that is not visible and non sticky so you do not see or really feel the product on your hair. I have dark hair so I would have noticed quickly if I saw any powder residue on hair so that’s a fantastic feature!  The Joico Hair Shake also smells amazing, like a stunning floral perfume! It also has Joico’s Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex, designed exclusively to help repair and protect against future damage.

The Joico Hair Shake sells for R380 for a 150ml bottle and you can purchase it from The Test Box site. I can see me getting a very good amount of uses out of it cause it doesn’t take a lot of product to get the effect right.

Ok So think easy use = Shake well , spray spray spray and then scrunch and tease hair into the style you want. I like to lift up the top section of hair and get into the bottom areas to really get the volume going. Another great and easy way to style is doing a side braid with damp hair and then drying your hair with the hair dryer while its still in the braid and once its all dry you spray on the Joico hair shake and then dry it a tad bit more with the dryer to set. Then undo the braid and spray the hair shake onto hair and scrunch it to add texture and volume to the waves and then I just use my ghd to straighten and tidy my fringe. See pics below on step by step and the after result 🙂

You can also undo the braid and then do your thing with hair shake and then braid it again for a beautiful volumized messy braid. These looks are perfect for summer beach days!!  Head over to The Test Box site and shop for your bottle of Joico Hair shake!!

YES that’s right, Pay them off. You can now shop on The Test Box site for All the fancy hair care products (this includes GHDs) And when checking out choose the test box debit order option and pay your order off via debit order over 3,6 or 12 months!!! I’m considering a GHD hair dryer and some Kevin Murphy products … what will you buy 🙂  Anyways back to my Box review hehe….. (im always so distracted by shopping)

My Favorite subscription box has taken a turn in a new direction this month, The Test Box Laboratory!!! They have changed the look of the bottles inside the box with cute little Test box sample bottles. This means that there is no longer too much of a limitation as to what our boxes will contain and The Test Box Laboratory is free to fill our lovely box with all kinds of different fantastic products for us to explore so we are no longer limited to products that only come in sample sizes! 🙂 Yayness! This will not be a every month thing and we will still receive original product bottles on months sample sizes are available for those products.

The bottles have taken on a clean Laboratory look and Are simple with The Test Box name on and the name of the product it contains on it.

This Months bottles Contain The TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo 50ml, TIGI Dumb Blonde Conditioner 50ml and TIGI AfterParty smoothing cream. And it is AMAZING!!!! Gosh i cant get enough of it haha even tho I am definitely not blonde, i have washed my hair twice with these super amazing products and WOW! i didn’t expect it to be that great but seriously my hair is left in a wonderful state after testing these! The texture of the shampoo and conditioner when washing is different to other products, its almost got a odd wax feel to it and just spreads beautifully through hair.

The TIGI Dumb Blonde shampoo is purple pink ish in color and only takes a tiny amount to cover and properly wash hair, And ooooh yum the smell is to die for!!!! It is for chemically treated hair and with keratin and milk protein, to help reconstruct and care for chemically treated hair. This is not only for our Blonde haired friends but also works wonders on colored dark hair and hair with highlights! it makes my Highlights shine like golden sun rays! Beautiful!

The TIGI Dumb Blonde Conditioner is yellow in color and has a thick wax like texture feel that is very different when applying on hair but dont let this fool you!! My oh My does this stuff do the trick! i would never have thought this would be such a super amazing product and i would never have bought it as it is “dumb blonde” and well that’s not me lol, But gee wizz Thank The Test box for filling our bottles with these!!! This moisturizing conditioner reconstructs hair by using Protein Booster Technology to help restore the hair at its core, And combined with milk extract and keratin, protect the hair externally. The smell, just like the shampoo is yummy yummy goodness!

And the last but most definitely not least Product in our box this months is The TIGI After Party Smoothing cream for smooth, silky , shiny perfect Hair!!! Firstly i find my addiction to this product is fueled by the fantastic smell it has as it leaves my hair smelling just as yummy! its like i can just keep washing my hair to have it smell so edible and feel oh sooooo touchable!!! Like literally couldn’t stop playing with my hair and running my fingers through it after using this, my husband was sitting laughing at me when i was telling him “no really but smell it its amazing, just touch it” And then proceeded to kak him out at his rough fingers didnt really do the trick at brushing though my hair hahah. This product is said to smooth hair and make it shiny, health looking and control fly away ends leaving hair looking perfect . well i think it does that perfectly and gets a huge vote from me!!!! YAY for this one 🙂

Totally Loooved this months box! so so much. Can i have a refill?! haha 😉

Joico K-pak Revitaluxe – WOW Product & Special offer! Must read for Damaged/Dry hair!

This is a Post worth Reading till the End And checking out the Special offer Code from The Test Box, This product is beyond amazing! One Thing That always stands out to me with the Joico K-pak Products is how it Actually works!!! you know that feeling when you spend alot of money on a product and hope to heaven that it actually does what it says it will and fixes your hair up quickly and then it ends up being a big fail…. Well Not with the Joico! The Joico actually works, one little treatment with the Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe and its like you have new hair! Its got me Jumping up and down with  passionate hair happiness!!!!!!

I Have to Thank  The Test Box  for sending me this one as a Birthday Present! To add to my growing collecting of K-pak products, i was already so impressed with the other items in the range that i didn’t think it could get any better. My hair isn’t looking too bad but towards the ends you can feel its dry and hard ish feeling cause of the hell i put it through trying to change my hair color and now the highlights as well, and i do have some split ends that are starting to appear.. i feel like the damn split ends sneak up on me and one day im crying over the state of my hair. I know you know what im talking about lol, if you have ever had your hair highlighted , that dry grassy feeling the ends get cause they have had the life sucked out of them. The one thing i hate most is how damaged dry hair knots and is difficult to tame and comb!

The Joico K-pak Revitaluxe Is like a super power packed treatment that you apply to hair after shampooing and leave in for like 5min (i do 15min tho, or as long as i can) And then it magically leaves your hair in a better state than it has ever been before! It makes hair super soft and shiny and very pleasant to touch, right to the ends you can feel how silky and soft the hair is! i Literally can not stop touching and playing with my hair it feels so AMAZING!!!!! My damaged dry ends look repaired, like they have been smoothed out and fixed and look full of life with moisture!

Instantly Repairs built up damage and  doubles resistance towards future breakage, Plus it protects against color fade by up to 94% . All of this from just a single application! You can thank Joico’s formula Secrets with Keratin Peptide Complex (Jojoba Oil, Aloe Extract, and Bio-Mimetic Peptides), which creates a virtual “molecular bandage” on the surface of the hair to protect against damage and dehydration!

Im very Serious when i say you just HAVE to try this product! it is a Life saver for hair!! i cant stress that enough im so excited about it!

This Wonder Product sells for R365 on www.thetestbox.co.za for a 150ml bottle. This will last you a good long time, i mean months cause you get such a treatment out of it i would say if you did it once every 2 or 3 weeks it would be enough and it doesnt take much product to cover hair so its well well beyond worth every cent of its price!

AND!!! To make your day even Better , For the Month of July when you shop this product from The Test Box you can use the Offer Code Joihair and get R35 off of your purchase! Now you really dont have an excuse hehe
