Hair care products are a dime a dozen. Each and every product promises to make your hair stronger, healthier and stop a man dead in his tracks. What many women sadly discover is the hair care products they use are adding product build-up and leaving them with lifeless, limp hair.

Martin (Mar-teen) Rodriguez saw a need in the hair care industry to create better hair care products everyone would love to use and in return love their hair. Rodriquez is the creator of Kalea Rose Hair Care.

Rodriguez began working in the beauty industry at 17. Looking at him, you’d never know he’s been giving women the hair of their dreams for 31 years.

What is the most common way women damage their hair? According to Rodriguez, “women do a lot of damage to their hair when they use flat irons, blow dryers and other hot styling tools without using proper styling aids to protect their hair.”

Ladies, you’ve been warned.

In every women’s magazine the debate continues on whether or not hair needs to be washed every day. “If you have oily hair washing your hair is acceptable as long as you use a shampoo that does not have sodium and is sulfate-free”  he said. “However, you do not want to over-stimulate the scalp. This causes the hair to become even more oily. Washing your hair everyday is not necessary for everyone.”

Speaking of magazines, Jennifer Aniston told Allure magazine in its February issue she thought the “Rachel”  was “the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.” Is there a celebrity who’s look you love? “I don’t have a favorite, but I think the Kardashian’s always have good hair. Mary-Louise Parker has great hair. Charlize Theron has had some great styles on the red carpet. I like a lot of texture and really great color” he replied.

Is there a style Rodriguez avoids or tries to steer his clients away from? “No. I think style is determined by the texture of the hair, the person’s features, trends and an individual’s needs for work or play. Nothing is off-limits as long as it looks good on the person.”

Kalea Rose was created by Rodriquez. “My motivation was to create a simple line so clients would not get confused by a barrage of different shampoos, conditioners and styling products.” So what’s his favorite Kalea Rose product? “The Argania Oil is my favorite because it is multi-functional. It can be used as a conditioning treatment, styling serum and skin product.”

Kalea Rose adheres to a strict No Diversion Policy. Rodriguez states “Kalea Rose will not sell our products to beauty supply, grocery, drug or any other stores that are not professional salons. Hair companies have lied to salon owners labeling their products as salon only. Yet, they allow their products to be sold at non-professional places. This takes away from the salon industry and places products in the hand of the consumer without proper professional advice about application and use.”

What does a hair genius do in his free time? How about a grueling workout known as Crossfit. “My background in martial arts has exposed me to many types of intense fitness, but nothing has come close to Crossfit. Crossfit is based on constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movements.” He further explained, “in other words we bust our asses with the highest amount of intensity we can generate in movements that are changing everyday. There is no routine, no machines and no rest.”

Anything else you’d like our readers to know? “I want all the women who have cabinets and drawers full of unused beauty products to know all that waste can be avoided by buying products at salons where they can get advice from beauty professionals before buying. They can also return the items they do not like. Support your salon and stylist and they will support your hair.”

I’m in love with Kalea Rose’s Revive Hair Complex. It is a wonderful detangling and conditioning spray. 

I have long, dyed red hair. I try not to dry, curl, or use a straight iron on my hair to keep it long and healthy. Because it is long, I have to use a hair detangler on it after every shower to remove knots creating during lathering and rinsing. For years I have used Suave For Kids Detangler and Johnson’s Kids No More Tangles Spray Detangler on my hair.

When I was asked to review Kalea Rose’s Revive Hair Complex, I was thrilled. A grown-up detangler for my hair with an added sun filter. How could I refuse?

Kalea Rose’s Revive Hair Complex is a leave-in penetrating conditioner with amino acids. It helps prevent split ends by strengthening your hair’s elasticity. And it protects your hair from the sun with sunscreen.

Living in Florida, I need to protect my hair from the sun’s damaging rays. My hair is not naturally red, so the sun filter in Revive helps me maintain a bright, vibrant red hue.

The detangler in Revive is amazing! I don’t have to struggle to comb out my hair after my shower. After a few sprays of Revive, the comb smoothly runs through my hair. 

Revive is wonderful for girls getting ready for snowboarding or ski season. While you’re out enjoying the fresh powder, Revive will add much needed moisture to heal and repair damaged hair caused by dry winter weather.

Revive has reduced my split ends and leaves my hair so soft and shiny. Everywhere I go, people compliment my beautiful, radiant hair. It is such a nice compliment to receive.

Kalea Rose’s Revive Hair Complex is not only a great detangler, it makes your hair sparkle.

After a torturous morning of mowing my gigantic yard, I decided to try my sample of Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner. My long hair was full of grass, bugs, sunscreen and sweat.  A great combination of destroying elements to test the conditioner.

Usually, I use shampoo and conditioners for color-treated hair. But with all the fun of summer, comes the dryness of the sun, pool and beach. My ends tend to get a little dry, but luckily I do not suffer from too much frizz.

After scrubbing my hair clean from the yard debris, I opened my little sample with my teeth. I don’t suggest you do that, it tastes awful.

The conditioner smells wonderful from the moment you open it. It is a pleasant scent, not overly sweet.

My hair was easy to comb out after my shower. After letting it air dry, my hair is soft and the ends appear to be smooth. And it still smells great!

I would use Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner once or twice-a-week. I will continue to use shampoo for color-treated hair, because my red hair tends to fade fast.

If you want a conditioner that smells great, eliminates frizzy ends and leaves your hair touchable, I would recommend Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner.

This is my own review, I was not paid or asked to review this product.

Keeping red hair a vibrant hue is difficult. It is the fastest color to fade.

I recently dyed my hair from golden blond, to a rich radiant auburn. I love it! I have green eyes and fair skin. The red really makes my eyes pop.

I changed my hair color for several reasons. I have long hair and refuse to cut it.

An easy way to change the look, color it. Voila! New style.

I also switched colors as a way to save money in this down economy. No visible re-growth means fewer trips to the salon. Cha-Ching!

My wonderful stylist Brooke did an amazing job. When I went in for the transformation, the lady at the station next to me was questioning my choice of going red. I wasn’t worried, I was excited.

Brooke wanted to surprise me and not show my new hair until everything was finished. She kept my back to the mirror until my reveal. The result was more than I could ask for.

As I was heading to the Matrix hair display Brooke stopped me. She told me to save my money and purchase John Frieda Radiant Red Color Captivating Daily Shampoo with Light Enhancers 8.45 fl oz (250 ml) and John Frieda Radiant Red Color Last Conditioner 8.45 oz.

I hugged Brooke and headed out to purchase my shampoo and conditioner. While in the aisle I saw John Frieda Collection Luminous Color Glaze Radiant Red Deeper, Richer Red – 192ml/6.5oz.

I was all loaded up with my new hair products, crossing my fingers it would work. Two days later, I used all three products. When I went to check out my hair in the mirror, I was pleasantly surprised. My hair was still a rich, vibrant red.

It has been a month since I became a ravishing red head. My hair is still beautiful, shiny and healthy. I was concerned the color would fade and I would be running around with nasty re-growth, but the Radiant Red hair products kept my hair from fading.

Thank you John Frieda and thank you Brooke for helping me to save money in a tough economy.
