Must Have Hair Care: Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream

How Many Hair Products Do You Use?

This morning as I was doing my hair, I felt decidedly low-maintenance for using only two products. Yes, "only." That's not because I'm a beauty product hoarder—it's because I have naturally unruly hair that requires three to four different products at a time. Maybe this is just a curly hair problem, since when I blow-dry and flat-iron my hair straight, I just use one product: a finishing shine spray (Kérastase Vernis Nutri Sculpt Shine Spray). But when I want to show off my natural hair, I go through a very unnatural process. First there's an anti-frizz serum I apply to my hair when it's wet. After it dries, I apply a leave-in conditioner to make it soft, like Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream. Then I spritz on the Kérastase, and then I use—depending on the weather, how recently I've washed my hair, and other ridiculously specific calculations—a mousse, gel, or pomade-ish wax to keep it that way; right now I'm obsessed with Shu Uemura Cotton Uzu Defining Flexible Cream. What about you—how many products are in your morning hair routine?

WHAT IT DOES:
Tames frizz and adds softness and shine to hair

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Kaempferia galanga root extract (provides natural UV protection); soy protein biopolymer (fights frizz); lychee extract (protects from oxidative stress); amber extract (strengthens and conditions); edelweiss flower extract (protects hair from drying, damaging, and color-depleting effects of the sun); watermelon extract (protects against deterioration of natural keratin); active keratin (fortifies and provides anti-aging protection and shine)

HOW IT FEELS/SMELLS/LOOKS:
It is a silky cream with a mild floral scent.

WHY WE LIKE IT:
It calms frizz and adds shine without weighing down hair or making it look greasy. It's also a good way to tame flyaways and smooth dry ends after a blowout.

Study: Mobile becoming integral to shopping habits

According to a recent report from Experian Simmons, mobile technology is becoming an indispensable aspect of American shopping habits. As this trend continues, it will be imperative that businesses cater their content marketing campaigns to mobile devices to stay ahead of the curve.

The report noted that the most common mobile shopping activity is research. Rather than making purchases on the fly, 15 percent of surveyed consumers are more likely to use their smartphones and tablets to explore their options so they can make informed decisions.

In contrast, only 7 percent of consumers said they have used their mobile devices to make a purchase within 30 days of the survey.

This highlights the importance of content marketing as a means of reaching mobile consumers. By utilizing local SEO and strong mobile web content, businesses are better positioned to connect with potential customers and encourage them to explore their products and services further.

As Brafton recently reported, a new IBM study found that mobility creates new search marketing opportunities for businesses. According to the report, more consumers are expected to use their mobile devices to research information and make purchase decisions this year as the adoption of internet-enabled mobile devices continues to rise.

Found this great website for hair and cosmetic products called Vivamondo.com<img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-5241802-10911532" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>. My hairstylist back in Boston turned me onto Oribe products and I'm trying to avoid A. paying taxes, and B. paying retail price! (Who isn't?!) Aside from Amazon, this place seems to have a great deal, and free shipping above $75. Check it out!
