Mizani Event Coverage

MyOwnJudge - MizaniI have been battling with my phone for weeks. Every time I forget my camera, I rely on the simple Berry to take as close photos as possible. Nothing beats the clarity that a camera can offer, and I do admit appreciating my deceased iPhone camera to the one on my Blackberry, but you work with what you have, right? It was funny that as I came to terms of never being able to load the photos from my phone onto my computer (it wouldn’t appear as plugged in), lo and behold! It cooperates!

As mentioned in the review, Mizani debuted their Supreme hair oil recently, and had an event where they showcased styles and the product itself. I was hoping I’d be able to show you the images earlier, but this will do.

The whole night I was fawning over how great the event space was decorated. It was very natural and earthy, but uber stylish at the same time. They had elements of the oil’s ingredients all around (avocado oil, coconut oil, etc.).

They had the cutest snacks (have you ever thought of putting cheese on a stick pops out as hor’dourves?) including white chocolate lollipops, sushi bites on trays in between flowers, apple and apricot tarts atop toasters (yes I said toasters), and more. The best part were the drinks. A mix of vodka, mango juice, and cranberry liquor (as told to me by a server – you know I hounded them for the mix!) with a dried apricot instead of a lemon on the rim.

The brand presented four models with a variety of hair types (do you know what yours is?) from 1/2 to 7/8. I wasn’t able to get a good photo of the last girl, so you’ll have to forgive me.

The stylists followed up with a five minute challenge to transform styled hair into a different ‘do with only the oil and as quick as possible.

The next presentation involved using the oil as a sealant and shine tool for a blowout. The model had the front part of her hair unfinished and the stylist completed the blowout with ease (and in under ten minutes – the whole head would probably be refreshingly quick as well).

Mizani Supreme Oil

MyOwnJudge - Mizani Supreme OilI recently had the pleasure of attending a product launch for a brand already near and dear to my heart; Mizani. From previous posts regarding hair and recreating styles (check some out here), I have always mentioned the necessity of using some hair oil, whether it’s to maintain the softness of your hair several days after washing and styling, renewing your do, or just to add some sheen for that “I was in a commercial” overall style.

The event was very last minute on my schedule, so of course I was caught unawares without my camera. I tried to make my Blackberry do it’s best, but at the moment it’s doing it’s worst at uploading the images when I need them (so stay tuned!). The launch was for Mizani Supreme Oil.

Some info about the product:
Supreme Oil is a 99% naturally-derived formula with 8 natural oils (sesame, jojoba, almond, avocado, apricot, olive fruit, sunflower and argan oils) that is silicone, mineral oil and paraben-free. Designed for any hair type, this ultra-light treatment penetrates and absorbs to treat and smooth the hair, so it is not greasy unlike silicones and mineral oil that only lay on the hair’s surface. Experience a truly exquisite treatment with an ultra-luxe velvety touch. (source)

The benefits as listed on the site:
1. Delivers intense moisturizing & exceptional softness.
2. Imparts incredible shine.
3. Nourishes hair and skin.
4. Leaves hair and skin soft and silky.
5. Helps enhance skin’s overall texture & appearance.
6. Fortifies and strengthens hair to help prevent breakage.
7. Improves hair’s elasticity and manageability.
8. Locks out humidity for continuous frizz control.
9. Non-greasy, fast-absorbing.
10. Can be layered over or under other hair or body products.

I haven’t subjected the oil to a rigorous test yet, but from using it at the event I can vouch for many of the claims. The oil is a smoothing, frizz erasing (depending on what state it catches your hair in – my hair desperately needed a wash, so it just softened the disaster area) hair sheen, which also doubles as an all over scent and body oil. Right after I put the oil on my hair, another attendee inquired as to what my perfume was.

Because the oil contains zero silicone, parabens, or waxes, it is safe to use on the body as well as the hair. It’s actually the smartest to do, because all hair products touch our scalp (and thereby our skin) in any case. The oil is not greasy and leaves your digits free to type away on Twitter or shake hands with new contacts within minutes. This was the most (pleasantly) surprising feature for me, because that’s one of the necessary evils I agree to when I use hair oil (almost every day). I usually have a box of tissues handy to wipe the excess grease away, or head to the bathroom to wash my hands.

The company already covers much of haircare in terms of Scalp Oil, Conditioner Treatment, and basics like the Shampoo and Conditioner, but this product serves as a multi purpose product for ease of use. It works with every hair and body treatment (blowout, smooth, renew, natural extensions, braid refresh, scalp treatment, body, etc.) and is travel friendly.

I’ll take it for a spin for a week and let you know how it works out. In the meantime, you should still try it out and consider getting one.

What is your favorite hair product?
