It's Monday, back to business!

   Monday, time for a product revue.How about........Blown Away 09. This is a protective blow-dry gel that infuses hair with all day style memory and frizz control. Redken's Heat Endure Technology with ceramides smoothes the way for a faster, better blow drying experience for your hair while guarding against breakage and heat styling damage. I'm not sure if this will take the place of the venerable Contuor 08, the hold factor is comparable but has a much thicker consistency. It does leave the hair with a soft touchable feel after blow drying, I've not yet tried the product for air drying,so I'm not sure how hard and crunchy your hair would feel should you try it in this manner.

   For those of you who have not tried Redken because of its "old school" reputation, I urge you to give it a try. They were one of the first companies to bring professional haircare products to the masses and have always stood behind salons and the stylists that work in them. They are a true leader in technology and although there are a lot of new companies with a lot of fabulous new products, there is something to be said for the experience of a venerable, old company with a long history of success.
