I’ve got to admit, hair isn’t my forte. So, I wasn’t too drawn by many hair products just because I’m so boring with my hair. If you’re a hair stylist, ISSE is the place for you to grab your favorite products at a discount, get supplies (like scissors and smocks), and even learn from the professionals. I heard Tabatha Coffey was there…I love her! I did spot a few cool finds that I hope you will like. I did haul from a few of these brands, so check that out on my intro post.
I recognized Amika because I got a sample of something from them in a Birchbox a while back. They handed out adorable bags in their signature print with a few samples inside. I definitely want to try more from this brand in the future…it’s too cute!
Indie Hair is a pretty cool brand that was recently launched. I was eying their powder #round2 because I love to use powders instead of spray dry shampoos, but I can never find any! I loved their nearly neon packaging…so fun!
Hair Hookups is a website that I was introduced to because I won a giveaway they were having at the show (woo $20!). After talking for a few minutes with the founders, Heidi and Derek Nelson, I thought it was a pretty interesting idea. Essentially, Hair Hookups is a platform for salons, stylists, and even clients (that’s you!) to look at hair inspiration (including demo videos), for stylists to find jobs, and for salons to be found. It’s still in the beginner stages, but check it out and let them know what you think.
Macadamia Oil is something that I’ve seen many beauty gurus talk about on YouTube, but I’ve never tried it personally! They had an awesome detangling brush that came with some samples of their best selling oil and mask, so I’ll be putting that to the test!
Speaking of brushes, I had to try The “Wet” Brush for detangling as well, because I have extremely tangly hair! They’re $15 regularly, but were only $7 at the show.
Some other things that caught my eye….Woody’s Grooming for men looked pretty cool. Their grooming kit was nominated best manscaping kit. Plus their products smelled nice and manly and look great. Perfect for dads, brothers, and significant others!
I was tossed a sample of Vodana‘s hair oil, so I’ll be putting that to the test. You know me and my hair oils…
Now onto hair styling…so many options! From using tools, to hair chalking, to sock buns…what’s not to love? I eyed pretty Hot Tools (lusting after the 3 barrel waver), huge hair donuts (think dinner plate sized), hair extensions by Snappies…who doesn’t want candy colored hair? Kevin Murphy‘s color bug was a huge hit…I love hair chalking! Color without the commitment…There were tons of hair demos, pictured is Clairol…but I have to say Chi did a pretty swell job at performance hair styling to the song “Clique.” It was interesting to say the least!
That just about does it for hair! I just caught glimpses of what I was personally interested in, with my low maintenance hair! Stay tuned until tomorrow for my skincare and beauty post.
