What Do You Think? Reader Reviews of Vidal Sassoon Salonist Hair Colour #PGMom

May 29, 2016 by Kathryn 2 Comments

About a month ago, I made the drastic decision to say goodbye to my natural brown hair colour and try a fun new reddish brown shade using new Vidal Sassoon Salonist hair colour. I loved the results and sharing my new colour with the world. But Vidal Sassoon wanted to know what you thought of its product too! Recently, twenty of my readers had the chance to review VS Salonist, and now they’re sharing their thoughts on the process and the results! Here are a few of the reviews; you can read even more on the pgeveryday.ca website!

This is probably the best hair colour that I have used since I started colouring my hair full time around 4 years ago. The process is quite messy and lengthy but I really love the results that I get from it. I have stubborn greys and they cover them without issues and they blend naturally in with the rest of my hair. My greys usually don’t hold colour well and fade quickly but a week later it is still holding up. My hair feels so nice when I am done and is much more manageable. I will continue using it in the future. ~newfiechic

When it comes to my hair, I’ve found that no single shampoo works all the time.

Luckily, I’ve assembled a pretty good assortment of favourite haircare lines for all my different needs. And the new Live Clean Vitamin Multi Boost shampoo and conditioner is my personal favourite choice for everyday haircare that leaves locks feeling clean, healthy and nourished. [Read more…]

Renew Your Hair for Spring with Vidal Sassoon Salonist Hair Colour-Giveaway

March 23, 2016 by Kathryn 116 Comments

Like most teenage girls, I used to love changing my hair with different at-home colour kits. I usually went red, sometimes added streaks of blonde and even considered going jet black. But then I let a few months pass between colourings shortly after turning twenty, and I remembered what a great natural hair colour I had. At that moment, I decided that I would stop colouring my hair and enjoy my own, natural tresses until my hair started going so grey that I had no choice but to dye it. At that point, I figured, I could go crazy with wild hair colours to my heart’s content.

I managed to fend off those days for quite awhile by yanking out the occasional grey hairs I found but now, at 35, I’m starting to think that I’m doing more damage to my hair by yanking out greys than I would be just dying it again! So I decided to take the plunge and colour my untouched hair for the first time in about 15 years…with a little help from Vidal Sassoon! The company’s new Salonist hair colour promised a salon-quality colouring experience due to a system that treats roots and lengths separately.

Choosing a colour was the biggest first step. I asked my fiance if I should pick a colour that was drastically different, slightly different or as close to my natural colour as possible. He thought that switching my colour up a bit with a slightly different change sounded fun, so I decided to go with a colour that I had a bit of past experience with and picked up two boxes of Vidal Sassoon Salonist Medium Reddish Brown.

Refresh Your Hair for Spring with Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner-Giveaway #PGMom #WantThatHair

March 11, 2016 by Kathryn 162 Comments

With the gorgeous, unseasonably warm winter that we enjoyed here in Saskatchewan, my hair didn’t end up getting too damaged during the cold season. But my locks are still dryer and more brittle after months of exposure to the cold air and the lack of humidity that heating a house causes. March is a great time to rejuvenate and so this month, I’m doing just that to my hair with the new Moisture Renewal 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner treatment!

I absolutely love deep conditioners because they provide long-lasting smoothness and moisture with just a few minutes of work once a week or so. When my hair is at its best, I find that twice monthly treatments keep my locks luscious and full of shine. When it needs a little extra TLC, a once-weekly treatment is ideal. But either way, I love running my fingers through my soft, smooth strands after a deep conditioning!

Bare Your Hair with New Herbal Essences Naked Volume Collection #PGMom

October 21, 2015 by Kathryn 22 Comments

Up until a month ago, my hairstyle really didn’t have a lot to it. My hair was long, all one length and thick. So thick, in fact, that there was no question of adding volume to my locks. My hair was just too heavy for that and hung straight no matter how I tried styling it.

But then I decided to put myself in the hands of the talented stylists at Revolution Hair Studio in Moose Jaw, and they gave me a cut I loved. By adding plenty of kicky layers, I was left with hair that was light, bouncy and youthful. I couldn’t have been happier.

Get an A+ on Style this School Year with Goody Hair Accessories

August 31, 2015 by Kathryn 9 Comments

My mom has had short hair for my entire life, so I didn’t have anyone to teach me how to style my hair. For school pictures and special occasions, she would have my babysitter curl and style my hair. The rest of the time it pretty much just did what it wanted and I remember once, in Grade 3, a teacher actually told me I needed to brush my shoulder-length hair more because it was so tangled.

In elementary school, I had bangs and hair that was at least shoulder length in the back and sometimes longer. In high school I said goodbye to the bangs and grew out my hair to a simple one-length style with a centre part. But no matter how my hair was cut, I struggled with finding ways to style it.

Nourish Your Hair with New Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner-Giveaway

February 10, 2015 by Kathryn 210 Comments

I’ve loved coconut ever since I was a child. In fact, I used to sprinkle it on top of cereal in place of sugar in the mornings and often have a spoonful straight out of the package for a quick afternoon snack. But it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned more about how beneficial coconut is for the body. Since I’ve discovered its many nutritional benefits, my house is never without a jar of coconut oil and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Now one of my very favourite personal care brands, Live Clean, has added the benefits of coconut to its newest hair care line too! Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner feature coconut milk, vitamins and milk protein that hydrate and strengthen hair without weighing it down.
