Serena, Taraji and Iman – the hair prods they’re digging….

Yesterday, I visited my local Chapters Bookstore to check out some stuff and came across the April issue of Essence.  Taraji, Iman and Serena look stunning -the pink tones against their brown caramel skin is totally fab!  I definitely need to pick up a pink maxi dress for spring/summer 2009.  Anyhow, I read the article (I know this issue has been out forever) but for those of you who haven’t read the mag (we are in a recession, so its understandable) I  decided to share some of  their fave hair products.

Serena Williams swears by Phyto Phyto Curl defining spray – which retails on Amazon for $26 USD.

She tells the mag “as an athlete I have a lot of dedication to keep my hair up.  I dont have a perm.  I moisturize my hair weekly and I spritz my hair with Phyto Phytocurl; it gives me the pretties curls.”

Directions
Apply a few sprays to dry hair. Scrunch hair to boost curls. Do not rinse.

Product Description

Here’s what she revealed to the mag – “when it comes to products, I’m like a mad chemist.  I use a dry scalp shampoo followed by a mix of equal parts Kimble Hair Care Systems Ginger Cream Conditioner, Matrix Solution Biolage Detangling Conditioner and Phyto Phytokarite.  Then I sit under the dryer for 10 mintues – my hair feels like silk afterwards”
