Oscar Blandi [Review] Oscar worthy Shine with Oscar Blandi at Home Salon Glaze

Oscar Blandi has been making the A-listers of Hollywood and Madison Avenue elites locks gorgeous for years. Along with his passion for making beautiful, healthy, glossy hair a necessity for his exclusive clients, he continues to bring in the masses with his famous salon worthy at-home Oscar Blandi hair care products. The Oscar Blandi At Home Salon Glaze is no exception to that rule.

Review

Before I received this product, I had a conversation with a hairdresser friend of mine about trying a glaze for my hair. My naturally thick, curly locks were starting to look a little dull and dry, and I needed something to boost my shine.   I had never looked into hair glaze, since I always assumed that it was specifically designated for chemically treated or processed hair – neither of which I have. All of those assumptions were put to rest once I came across the Oscar Blandi At Home Salon Glaze.

The first time I used the at home glaze, I instantly noticed a difference.  It not only gave me incredible shine, but it actually brightened my natural hair color – I could only imagine how great it would be for color-treated hair! One of the biggest surprises was the simplicity of the ingredients.  The At Home Salon Glaze uses olive oil and macadamia oil to moisturize and bring out your natural brilliance, as well as protective sun inhibitors and Vitamin E to give your hair the extra anti-oxidant love it deserves.

Right now you’re asking does it actually work? Yes beauties, it does! I followed the directions to a T, which didn’t take much effort…it was so easy!  I was happy to find that it wasn’t like some of those other hair masks that require you to leave it in for 30 minutes to an hour.  Instead, the Oscar Blandi Glaze is applied in the shower after shampooing and conditioning your hair.  After combing the glaze through your hair, you leave it in for less than 5 minutes before rinsing.

5 MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR!

The second time around I became a bit of a rebel, combining my favorite conditioner with the At Home Salon Glaze.  I raked my fingers through my hair to control the glaze and conditioner in my hair, left it in for 5 minutes and rinsed. The smell is soft and not powerful, and actually enhances the smell of whatever you are already using. And the texture is well…..how should I put it – glossy, yet not sticky. I almost forgot to tell you that my hair much, much, much softer than usual after using the glaze, making it not only a shine inducer but deep conditioner as well.

Now to be honest, I did not see a difference right away, so I was a little worried that the glaze did not penetrate my thick hair. But NO FEAR BEAUTIES!  The very next day, my friend noticed my hair was shinier than ever! Score! I am definitely recommending the Oscar At Home Salon Glaze to all of my favorite beauty junkies.

Kelly Ripa on the Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil:

When you tape a daily, live TV show, your hair takes a beating (think intense blow-drying, curling, and flatironing). Ripa has her hairstylist apply a few drops of Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil to her damp hair before styling to prevent fuzz and enhance shine.”

Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil  $16 – $35

Olio di Jasmine banishes frizzies and imparts long lasting shine to all hair types. This hair serum prevents unwanted frizz while giving long lasting shine, definition, and lightweight reflection to dull hair. It’s easy to carry in your bag for touch-ups throughout the day and can serve as a light perfume for your hair.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray  $11- $21

Refresh, revive, and recharge hair and scalp without water. Pronto is perfect for use between washings, in a rush, or as a midday hair pick-me-up. This dry shampoo spray increases volume and removes dirt and build up in your root area in seconds.

Both items are available at BeautyCollection.com as well as our three locations.

Which Dry Shampoo is Right For You?

Let’s face it. Sometimes there just isn’t time to lather, rinse, and repeat-let alone blow dry-for hair perfection. What to do?

Enter dry shampoo, a magic formula that means you don’t have to hang your head when you can’t squeeze in a wet wash. Just rub in the no-rinse product of your choice for voluminous, shiny hair that won’t give away your dirty little secret.

Beauty Collection stocks a variety of excellent dry shampoo options. Look for the one that’s right for you:

1. Universal. The popular Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo-available in both powder and spray forms-refreshes hair of all types by soaking up excess oil, removing product build-up, and boosting volume. Made with natural cleansing starches and nourishing tea tree oil, Pronto will leave your hair feeling fresh and clean with a light lemon verbena scent.

2. Keratin clear. It’s no secret that daily washes can wear on Keratin-treated hair. To prolong the effectiveness of your treatment, look for a dry shampoo like Blow Faux Dry Dry Shampoo that is free of damaging sulfates, parabens, and sodium chloride. Blow Faux Dry eliminates oil and adds lift to extend the life of your blow dry an extra day.

3. Hypoallergenic. Available in either aerosol or non-aerosol form, Klorane’s Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk features ingredients like oat extract to soften hair and natural polysaccharides to provide cleansing action. This hypoallergenic formula is made without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMO, and triclosan.

4. Oil control. Ingredients such as cotton fibers, rice starch, and corn starch work to target oils, which means formulas like Fekkai Au Naturel Dry Shampoo are a perfect fit for those with naturally oily hair. This natural formula prevents dirt build-up while neutralizing odors.

5. Freshly scented. The secret to the refreshing scent of Rene Furterer’s Naturia Dry Shampoo is in the essential oils-a combination of peppermint, caraway, and basil that also serves to soften hair. Argilla powder gives this formula its absorbent power, restoring volume and lightness to hair for easy styling in a snap.

6. Earth friendly. The all-natural Jonathan Product Green Rootine Dry Shampoo is manufactured to be as gentle to the planet as it is to your hair. Available in light and dark powder form, the 100% vegan formula brings the luster and volume back to your hair without synthetics, parabens, sulfates, silicone, or petrachemicals.
