Kenra Volume Spray 25

After spending the morning making sure our fine hair looks fabulous, there’s nothing as frustrating as seeing it fall flat come midday. While many other strong hold hairsprays seemed to weigh our hair down, Kenra Volume Spray 25 gives us the volume and control we crave.

This fast-drying formula can be used as a volume spray at the base of the head, or as a finishing spray over styled hair. We love that it is humidity resistant and its super hold never feels sticky.

The ladies at Peace, Love, and Lipstick use Kenra Volume Spray 25 and our style stays strong all day long.

Sleek Look Shampoo and Conditioner by Matrix

Here at Peace, Love, and Lipstick there’s nothing we hate more than flat, frizzy hair. While many shampoos and conditioners manage to tame our flyaways, they tend to leave our locks limp and lifeless in the process.

In an attempt to get our coarse hair silky without feeling slimy, we discovered Sleek Look Shampoo and Conditioner by Matrix. This divine duo gives soft, smooth, texture while leaving hair full and manageable. Use the shampoo to gently cleanse and soften, and follow with the conditioner to lock in moisture, add manageability, and improve shine.

We love that Sleek Look provides frizz control without leaving us flat, and lets us blow-dry our hair smooth and sleek in two simple steps.

Joico KPAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor and Intense Hydrating Treatment

Because we spent most of our twenties subscribing to the theory “we’d rather be bald than brunette” it’s no surprise that the ladies of Peace, Love, and Lipstick have suffered our share of over-processed highlights and hi-lift horror stories over the years. In an effort to make our dark hair strong, shiny, healthy, and blonde, we’ve tried every treatment for damaged hair we can get our hands on.

Our long time favorite has undoubtedly been K-PAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor by Joico. Its protein rich Quadramine Complex gives fabulous results every time. Use the reconstructor every two weeks for five minutes in the shower. Then rinse, reapply, and leave on for another five minutes. Immediately follow with Joico’s Intense Hydrator to put moisture back into the hair.

This power combo leaves damaged hair soft, shiny, manageable…and from finding it’s way down the shower drain.
