Silky Smooth Hair Tips

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 27, 2016

I have to admit, I don’t have a lot of time to do my hair. With two toddlers and a baby, I’m lucky if I even get a morning glance in the mirror. I have always felt strongly about doing my makeup before leaving the house because it makes me feel more put together, but hair often gets tossed up with a hair band. I recently discovered some awesome hair care products that not only strengthen my low-maintenance hair, but also have a great fragrance. Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair hair care products cleanse, reinforce hair strands, and give my hair a natural shine.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Super Potion Hair Oil Serum with blackberry and coconut milk smooths and softens my hair and tames frizz and flyaways. I generally straighten my hair because I have just enough natural curl to look disheveled. Regularly straightening my hair can dry out hair strands, making it important for me to use a product that adds moisture and protects my tresses. Giovanni 2chic hair serum goes on smoothly and adds just a bit of natural shine. It also prevents my hair from breaking and smooths down split ends. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my hair’s smoothness and manageability on the days I use the Giovanni 2chic hair serum, contrasted by the days I don’t.

Giovanni 2chic Hair Care Highlights

  • Repairs and renews vibrancy
  • Hydrates and seals tresses
  • Gently wraps each strand to protect from damage
  • Eliminates frizz and is color safe
  • Lauryl & Lauretha sulfate free

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Shampoo with blackberry and coconut milk cleanses and revives dry and dingy hair without the use of harsh ingredients. I love the smell of this shampoo that’s lightly scented thanks to the blackberry and coconut milk. Coconut milk is instrumental in nourishing hair, making your hair shiny, even preventing balding! It strengthens hair by filling it up with proteins and can even be used as a detangler. The coconut milk in this Giovanni acts as a smoothing ingredient, making my hair feel silky and reinforcing natural oils.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Conditioner with blackberry and coconut milk is also a great product. After using for several weeks, especially in combination with the Giovanni hot oil treatment, my hair feels strong and smooth to the touch. I also haven’t had many split ends this summer. I do try to trim my hair regularly, but with 3 small children it’s also important to me to find easy hair products I can regularly use to maintain healthy, shiny hair.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum with blackberry and coconut milk is an easy way for you to smooth and strengthen your hair within your normal hair care routine, even as a busy mom! I have noticed a difference in my hair texture by using these products, especially on the days that I straighten my hair. I hope you enjoy these products as much as I have to rejuvenate your hair.

💡 Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! 💡 Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

🧳 Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

🥪 Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafés become our favorite spots. 

🏞️ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

📱 Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

🔦 Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations.

Our kids are our biggest fans 🙌🎬 Making YouT Our kids are our biggest fans 🙌🎬
Making YouTube videos of our family adventures has been such a great way to share and save our family memories. We watch our vids all the time, which take us right back to the special moments. Our audience is growing slowly, but it’s really not about that at all!

Because we travel with our kids, our children are brave and adventurous — willing to try new things and eager to problem solve. Adventurous kids are resourceful kids!

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. ⛲️✨ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. 📸 We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome! 

Have you been to the Trevi Fountain? What was your experience with the crowds?

🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! 🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! 🇬🇧

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

✨ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

It’s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for London’s engineering and history. 💙

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? 😄
