Hair Shadz™ Review & Giveaway

Congratulations to winners # 8 & 12!

Between building a house and having an infant and 3 other kids involved in sports going every direction, time is limited. I don’t always get the chance to wash, blow dry and style my hair before leaving the house in the morning. First of all I have been blessed with thick hair which takes a good 20 minutes to blow dry alone and that isn’t wash time or style time. I don’t always have time to spend on washing and drying my hair in the mornings and much prefer to do this part the night before. I also don’t have time to keep on top of dying my hair so at times I can get a bit of root growth before I can get back to the hair dresser.

I had the opportunity to review a hair product called Hair Shadz™, a great concept from Monimay, recently which is perfect for freshening up my hair before styling it on these mornings or coverage for my roots when I haven’t had a chance to get back to the hair dresser for a dye job. I first tried Hair Shadz™ when I had a bit of root growth in my hair color shade, with the 8 colors to choose from and the easy to match color guide, it was easy to find the right shade. I was impressed at how well this product lightened and blended my root growth into the rest of my hair. I also noticed my hair felt smooth and silky, not oily. I also loved the sun protection aspects about this product; I worry more about the kid’s scalps burning in the summer time because they refuse to wear a hat most of the time but even during the cooler months the sun can burn, especially with the reflection off the snow. It’s easy to protect the skin with sun block but the scalp is harder to protect; this product is perfect in a powder form. Hair Shadz™ uses a brush applicator to apply the powder product to the hair, making it easy to blend into the roots and right down to the scalp. The other great thing about this product is that you can also use a translucent Sun Shadz™, if you are buying for a child or worried about matching a color, allowing everyone to be able to use this product to not only blend root growth and absorb excess oil from hair but protect the scalp from harmful UVN/B and UVA sun rays.
