Lock & Mane

Just in time for summer (when blowouts become as necessary as a friend with a beach house), Lock & Mane is pleased to announce its partnership with Blow products, the same products used in the fabulous New York City Blow Dry Bars.

This professional collection cures the three most common problems that plague women each time they pick up a blow dryer:

1. Damage

2. Inconsistent Results

3. Style That Doesn’t Last

After years of researching the unique needs of blow dry styled hair, Blow has developed a proprietary pure protein blend for longer-lasting style and protection. These exclusive formulas replenish hair’s health and vitality. Free of sulfates, parabens, sodium chloride, detergents, and artificial fillers that deplete hair and limit the life of your style, Blow products protect, perfect, and prolong blow dry styled hair every day! Additionally they’re keratin compliant, which means these products won’t interfere with keratin treatments.

Lock & Mane currently carries 10 Blow products, all of which have been duly approved by the L&M team and rigorously tested on interns (no interns were harmed in said testing and two of them got dates that night!).

Some of our Blow faves include:

The Perfect Shower Cap, $18: This innovative cap is designed to protect and prolong your blowout with its 100% terry liner that soaks up shower steam and moisture before it tackles the tresses to leave them safe and dry.

Beach Blow Texturizing Mist, $21: That oh-so-coveted, sexy “beach” hair can be achieved 365 days a year, 24/7 – no surf or sand required. Simply mist on Blow’s Beach Blow and style to create natural waves.

Wave Maker Light Twisting Lotion, $21: The New York Blow Dry Bar’s “twisting and twirling” signature trick finally is a signature product. Wave Maker is a light and weightless lotion that helps create soft waves or “twists” for a look that is flirty and sexy. Simply apply the lotion and use fingers to “twist and twirl” small sections while blow drying.

Faux Dry Dry Shampoo, $20: This dry shampoo is perfect for anyone who wants to prolong their blow dry-styled hair. Safe for color-treated and processed hair, this dry shampoo dramatically transforms limp locks with Blow’s exclusive pure protein blend of Amaranth, Lupine, and Wheat.

Happy Blow outs lovies!!

We’re delighted to announce that Monimay is now part of the L&M family (see below for how-to video). We now carry 11 color blends of Monimay’s wonderful Hair Shadz Dry Shampoo with Root Blending. Endorsed by PETA and the Melanoma Foundation, Hair Shadz is a revolutionary, all natural, 3-in-1 powder solution for the hair and scalp. It features patented technology to give you root blending, dry shampooing, and sun protection in one dermatologist approved formula. Monimay’s Hair Shadz uses loose mineral pigments that are 100% natural and contains no Talc or other harsh additives.

Because Monimay is dermatologist approved, it is an amazing product for women who are dealing with issues of hair thinning and loss and are concerned about using harsh chemicals on their locks.

The bottles may look small, but that’s deceptive. There are 6.5 grams of product in each brush applicator and 12.5 in the refill bottles. The uniquely designed applicator with a choice of 3 levels of flow will allow the product to last up to 6 months!!

The big question we always ask with any new product is how will it make the hair feel? The minerals in Monimay’s products are very light weight. You will feel it, but it doesn’t feel grainy or dirty. The granules will actually help add volume to the hair.

We love this product and we love the folks over at Monimay!
