Secrets From The Founder's Files: Oscar Blandi

Last week I had the pinch-me-I'm-dreaming pleasure of attending Sephora's Founder's Day event, which gave me two days of access to brand founders like Jean Ford, Oscar Blandi, and Lena Korres. In between testing out new beauty products and getting makeovers, I picked up a few secrets to share.


FOUNDER: Oscar Blandi from Oscar Blandi Hair Care

Ah, Oscar, my mane man. Of course you had to turn your lounge into a luxe hair salon. Visitors stepped into this lock stop and were pampered with scented hair treats like the smoothing, straightening, gloss-ifying Jasmine Oil Serum and the tress-refreshing Pronto Dry Shampoo, which is spiked with honeysuckle and flowers.

Which made me confess: I can't decide if I like his products, or the scent of his products better. "The worst thing is smelling product in someone's hair," said Oscar. "Hair should have a sensual, natural smell." Genius.

And being in the presence of genius, I couldn't help but ask Oscar to tell me his secret to beautiful hair. Obviously he knows - everyone in his lounge had shining, flowing tresses.

I REALLY want to use that Jasmine line but am afraid it will do nothing for my hair.

:(

It's fairly lightweight, so it might not - but head to Sephora and try it! If nothing else, it smells SO GOOD.

Have you tried Carol's Daughter leave-in conditioners and her hair smoothies? Those are really no-nonsense hair tamers (Khoret Amen is my fave scent).

I have heard of Carol's Daughter but have heard mixed reviews?

But I think I might just take a chance and try a leave-in.

If you try it, I would love to know what you think of it (and if it works!)
