Fall 2012 Must Have Hair Accessories

I just love hair accessories! You know those days when you don’t even know where to start when it comes to styling your hair? Or the days that you spend all this time on your hair just to feel like there’s something missing? Hair accessories can come to the rescue! They not only make it easy to add style to an otherwise boring do, they can also give a little inspiration and sometimes that’s all I need to turn an ok hair day into a great one.

Whether you’re looking to pump up the volume, add flavor to a bland style, or make your effortless do seem effortful, there are endless hair accessory options this fall.

With options ranging from formal, handmade, and pricey to casual, inexpensive and just wacky, narrowing down the search is key.  For everyday hair needs, I look for hair accessories that are casual, easy, fun and trendy. With that in mind, these are my must have fall accessories for 2012:
  1. This light weight beanie is perfect for fall and looks amazing with a side, messy braid. The sparkles add a sophisticated touch to this grungy look.
  2. A double headband takes a messy pony or bun up a notch and these 80’s inspired colors are sure to keep your day bright.
  3. Ponytail hardware is all the rage and I love the Geo Ponytail Holder in particular because it’s super trendy, but still dainty unlike some of the others.
  4. This goddess-looking stretch flower headband looks great with loose curls and can dress up a more casual outfit.
  5. With size options ranging from mini to extra large, these hair doughnuts are a cheap way to make a perfect bun every time.
  6. Want to wear your hair down, but add a little (or big) something? The Jumbo Hair Clip will keep the hair out of your face and will definitely turn some heads.
No matter which accessory you chose to try out this fall, Ovation styling products (Volume Enhancer and Thermal Protection spray) will keep your hair voluminous and healthy looking all day.
What accessories are you falling for this fall?

Ovation Hair Product Reviews

I wanted to give a thank you shout out to Tammy S. who sent us this review last week!

“This product is AMAZING and my hair has never looked better or fuller! I have baby fine hair and since my children and Thyroid problems [it]has gone really sparse on the top. Since I have used the Shampoo and Crème rinse it is so full and shiny! People complement me all the time! I am slowly using the treatment because I wanted to see if I liked the other stuff first and I do!!!! I will be going all in with all the products. I also am using the Volumizer and Thermal protector. I cannot thank you enough for having this so I can be happy about doing my hair again!!!

Thanks so much!!”

While on the subject of client testimonials, I wanted to share our YouTube page for those who haven’t seen it.  It’s a place to see reviews from both male and female clients with all hair types.

Natural Ingredients for Healthy Hair

In the last post we discussed foods that provide nutrients to promote thicker, stronger, and longer hair.

Did you know that Ovation hair care products contain many of the same vitamins and proteins? They do! And I don’t know about you, but when it comes to things that are being absorbed into my scalp, words like vitamins, plant extracts, and proteins are what I want to hear.

This means that while you’re cleansing and conditioning your hair with Ovation, you’re providing the scalp with beneficial ingredients, resulting in healthy hair!

The products in our hair care line contain many ingredients (you can see them here), but what makes them unique is that each one of them contains our special blend of extracts, vitamins, and proteins. This combination of Ovation nutrients is designed to enhance the appearance and the condition of the hair through action at the scalp, root and hair fiber itself. Here are some of the other natural ingredients that are included in our Cell Therapy Systems:
  • Keratin Protein - a protein derived from sheep’s wool, this extract contains the needed amino acids to help repair damaged hair and nails.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice - a leaf juice derived from the Aloe Vera Leaf that has a history of healing and soothing burns and skin irritations.  It also contains Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Carotene (vitamin A), and Folic Acid which promotes healing and cellular renewal.
  • Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract - Saw Palmetto Extract is derived from palm fruit and blocks DHT and antigen receptors which is one of the causes of baldness.
  • Allantoin - a healing and soothing plant extract for the skin and scalp.
Our products do not contain any medicine or chemicals and our Advanced Cell Therapy formula is paraben and sulfate free.  We take pride in our high quality ingredients that promote the health of the scalp, hair cells and follicles to provide the best results for thicker, longer, stronger hair.

Enjoy! – Emily
