Amika’s Obliphica Nourishing Hair Mask
Providing your hair with the occasional extra dose of TLC is essential to maintaining beautiful, healthy hair. Amika’s Obliphica Nourishing Hair Mask ($40) is a deep conditioner that works on all hair types, from fine to coarse, to restore, smooth and protect. The key ingredient is Sea Buckthorn Berry (Obliphica), which is also the basis of Amika’s haircare line. You can use it as an everyday conditioner or as a weekly treatment (simply leave it in longer for deep-conditioning effects).
I used this on my hair, which is fine with very tight curls—always thirsty for extra TLC. Looking at the small sample packet, I found it laughable to think it would be enough for my entire head, but I was pleasantly surprised that a quarter-size portion was sufficient. The conditioner was rich and had a sweet, but not overwhelming, scent. After working it through my hair, I let it sit for 2-3 minutes and rinsed. I was very happy with the results—my hair felt moisturized and was easily detangled.
Check out Amika’s website for more information about this product: www.loveamika.com
TIP: Whenever I want to super deep condition, I do the following:
- Saturate a hand towel in hot water and microwave it for a few minutes (microwaving isn’t necessary if your tap water gets as hot as mine does!). Be careful when handling the towel, because it will be HOT!
- Next, put a shower cap over your conditioner-soaked tresses, then wrap the hot towel around your head and cover with a plastic bag.
- Chill out until the towel is cool (about 15-20 mins) and voilà —you’ve just given yourself a penetrating deep conditioner!
kisses, Olisa

Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy
We all love summers in New York, but those amazing, yet steamy, days can turn any headful of curly, wavy or kinky hair into a giant frizz ball in a matter of seconds! That is unless you’re armed with an arsenal of styling products designed to eliminate unruliness and increase manageability, shine and softness.
This past Friday, celeb hairstylist Ryan Nickulas, owner of Ryan Darius Salon in New York (and star of Logo TV’s The A-List: New York), unveiled Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy’s must-have new hair products for the summer. This key ingredient of this smoothing system is keratin, a protein that hair loves!
- Color Care Shampoo & Conditioner – Suds up with the sulfate-free, chloride-free shampoo and follow with the nourishing, heat-protecting conditioner ($20)
- Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder – Great when you’re on-the-go. Gently cleanses and absorbs excess oil without stripping hair’s natural nutrients ($24)
- Vita Volume Boosting Foam – This non-greasy, moisturizing foam enhances hair’s style and flexibility while providing lift and volume ($24)
- Straight Day Styling Spray – A personal favorite, this daily hydrating treatment can be sprayed on wet or dry hair to tame flyaways and frizz ($24 for 2oz. / $32 for 4oz.)
- Flex Flow Finishing Hairspray – I used this on a hellishly, windy and rainy night and it worked! It delivered a soft, flexible hold as promised ($20)
And of course, you have to be equipped with the right tools:
- KeraMini Flat Iron – This travel-size tourmaline ceramic straightener comes with a protective thermal pouch in a choice of Giraffe, Zebra, Black Navy or Pink (animal print $75 / colors $59)
