Vonte Silk Effects

It’s been a few years since I first used this fabulous product. I was visiting my friend out in Los Angeles, when my hair was suffering from heat exhaustion. We laid out on Santa Monica Beach and were in and out of the water all day. When evening came it was off to dinner and then the club with the girls. “OMG, How could I could I go out with my hair such a mess!” Well to my surprise, Vonte had us all ready for a night on the town in minutes. I washed my hair and applied the blue magic to the edges of my hairline and brushed it into a curly ponytail. My hair was shiny and my edges looked like I had a fresh perm. I was amazed! With a light fragrance and no sticky residue or flaking, I was ready to hit the club.

When I came back to New York, I searched all the Brooklyn beauty supply stores to no avail. Needless to say, I found myself, “Going, going, back, back to Cali,” just to get this, Vonte Silk Effects. When I can’t make it to the West Coast I look forward to my bestie sending me my blue magic in the mail. Use Vonte on a short hairstyle for shaping and styling hold without the crunch or on longer hair for manageability and shine. Don’t worry the blue doesn’t show. lol

Leonor Greyl

Here in New York City, the biting cold winter seems relentless. We have had our fair share of blistering cold, dry winds and bone chilling damp, snowy days. While vintage knit cloches and fabulous fedoras add a little flair to dreary winter days, the distinguished accessory leaves our coiffeurs coughing for air.

The fluctuation of winter air and hat head stress left me searching for the perfect hair conditioner to carry me through until summer. Leonor Greyl is a luxury line in hair care with environmentally safe, natural products. Perfumed with plant extracts, Leonor Greyl hair masques have aromatic blends of jasmine, orchid and magnolia. From moisture rich shampoos and revitalizing hair masques, Leonor Greyl products leave tresses a regal crown and glory.




If you are looking for where to begin, the Masque Fleurs de Jasmin is a nourishing cream conditioner for all hair types. Not only does it rejuvenate hair, but the floral fragrance is reminiscent of a summer garden. To lock in moisture the Huile de Palme can be applied to scalp and hair as a prewash to restore colored treated and dry hair. Explore this Parisian line in hair care for an investment that you won’t regret!
