Worth the Splurge: Oi Product Review

The first stylist to introduce me to hair oil told me it was every curly/wavy girl’s best friend. Textured hair of all kinds tends to live on the dryer side, and be more prone to frizz. Hair oil moisturizes and smoothes, and thus counteracts two of the main curly girl concerns. When you add lightened hair into the mix, oil becomes even more important, as lightened hair is even more dry and less smooth than normal textured hair. I recently tested out the entire Oi line on my hair for three weeks and am here to give you my thoughts…

Hair Masques

Despite the fact that we live in North Carolina where “winter weather” can mean anything from actually cold enough for a coat and boots to t-shirt weather… the winter months means drier air, (mostly) cooler temps, and the dreaded static increase. All of these affect your hair, which is why you might notice your hair getting drier, frizzier, and more split ends appearing. For some folks, just switching to a more hydrating conditioner can solve the problem, but for any hair that is thicker, textured, or tends towards the drier side already a hair MASQUE might be required. Hair masques…

Fall for Oi

Meet all your Hair Needs with Oi Finding a versatile hair product that meets multiple needs can be quite the challenge. Falling for Oi was super easy because of the variability of the line by Davines. We have fallen head over heels with this product family. Oi basically specializes in #hairgoals. It focuses on softness, shine, and body. The main ingredient is Roucou oil—an oil derived from the seeds of an Amazonian fruit. Roucou stimulates the production of melanin (essentially your hair’s natural color so AKA keeps the grey away) along with lending antioxidant properties that protect against UV radiation (sun…

For the Love of Curls

Stylist Niko Jones is our resident “Curly Girl” here at Garnish. We asked her to give us a little advice about embracing and styling curly hair, and here is what she had to say. Thanks so much Niko for sharing your secrets with us! “Whenever I’m out and about sometimes people stop and ask me about my curly hair.
