Not Your Mothers Rise & Shine Silky Smooth Shine Mist ($5.99) Don’t hit that snooze! Wake up and have a good hair day. Rise & Shine mist is an alcohol-free salon formula that will give your hair that polished look with a shiny, healthy glow.
My Thoughts:
Mmm…Rise & Shine smells so yummy! The scent is light and sweet. It’s not overwhelming, just faint enough so you can notice it. What I really like about Rise & Shine is that the spray doesn’t leave my hair looking or feeling oily, greasy. There was no sticky residue left behind either. My hair truly did look shiny. I kept swooshing my hair this way and that way so I could see the light bounce off my shiny hair. Rise & Shine didn’t change the texture of my hair or weigh it down. All it did was add a gorgeous shine to my dull, flat looking hair. Rise & Shine is perfect for when you want to sport the sleek and shine hairstyle.

Not Your Mother’s Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder ($5.99) Stand up against flat hair, limp hair everywhere! Girl Powder is the fastest way to maximize volume and add texture directly to dry hair. This salon formula will have you and your hair large and in charge.
My Thoughts:
I’m a little on the fence when it comes to liking Not Your Mother’s Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder. Don’t get me wrong. The volumizing hair powder did what it was suppose to do. It gave my hair lots of volume and lift in less than a minute. All I had to do was sprinkle some powder onto my hair and run my fingers through my hair and voila! Instant volume in less than 30 seconds! The powder was finely milled and didn’t change the color of my hair. Nor was there an unpleasant smell. What’s preventing me from loving the volumizing hair powder is how it changed the texture and feel of my hair. The best I way I can describe it is it left my hair feeling as if I had just spent the day at the beach; the dried-out-tangly-hair feeling. The weird thing is my hair doesn’t look dried out or tangly. My hair still looked clean and shiny. I didn’t notice the texture unless I ran my fingers through my hair. Since the powder gives your hair some texture, you can style and mold your hair anyway you please and it’ll stay. I don’t think I’ll be using Not Your Mother’s Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder all the time. However, I can see myself reaching for it when I need hair volume quickly.

Garnier Fructis Style Wonder Waves ($3.33) Your Perfect Wave has never been this easy!
. Controls, enhances and shapes natural waves
. Provides smooth definition, shine and frizz control
. Use anytime, anywhere to revive shape of waves
Hold Level: Flexible
My Thoughts:
I have really thick hair that just won’t hold a curl. I discovered Garnier Fructis Style Wonder Waves a couple of years ago, and it has been my answer to keeping my hair curly and/or wavy and frizz free. All I do is spray each section of hair as I style it and the curl/wave stays put all day. The spray has a flexible hold. That means your hair won’t feel hard as a rock or have that crunchy look. It gives just enough hold so it leaves your hair looking and feeling natural. You don’t need to spray a lot for it to work. A couple of spritz is all you need. If you’re looking for a product to hold your curls and waves all day, you have to try Garnier Fructis Style Wonder Waves.

Not Your Mother’s Beat the Heat ($6) Stop! Wait! Put down the iron and protect your hair first. Beat the Heat conditions and protects hair from scorching heat before you pick up your blow dryer, flat or curling iron. It blocks daily UV rays and leaves your hair with a salon finish. Infused with natural sunflower and vitamin A+E this salon formula will keep you cool…well at least your hair.
My Thoughts:
Even though summer is over that doesn’t mean your hair is safe from the heat. It’s still important to protect your hair from styling heat and UV rays. Not Your Mother’s Beat the Heat Thermal Styling Shield Spray is the product to get the job done. Beat the Heat is a clear liquid heat protecting spray that doesn’t weigh down or dull your hair. In fact, it did the opposite. It leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth and shiny. The spray has a sweet smell (like raspberries) that lasts all day. Also, it doesn’t leave your hair feeling sticky. What I really liked about Beat the Heat is you don’t have to rub it into your hair. You just spray it into your hair and your done. Beat the Heat is an awesome affordable heat protecting spray that you need to try.

All you have to do is spray it onto damp hair and then use your fingers to create waves and add body to your hair. It’s that simple. Spray, style, and voila! You’re done. The spray doesn’t weigh down your hair or feel sticky. I love the smell of the spray. It’s light and has a beach smell to it. It reminds me of summer. It’s a great, quick way to get beachy waves without damaging your hair.
