Recommend these No. 4 Mini-Darlings for your clients who are vacationing for the holidays! All they have to do is pop these little travel sized products in their carry-on and they are ready to fly!
Whether your holiday plans include a cultural experience in a legendary city or relaxation in a tropical paradise, you can bring your hair care products with you! No. 4 new Mini-Darlings, a collection of 14 1.5 oz. travel size products, allow you to maintain your hair style in-flight and throughout your trip.
(These are only four of 14) Left to right: Body Lotion, Reconstructing Masque, Blow Dry Lotion and Hydrating Shampoo.
These chic, compact little jet setters meet TSA weight limit requirements and can be loaded into any carry-on. I tried out these four little products and I have to say that they are handy to have! My two favorites out of the four that I tried were the blow dry lotion and the body lotion.
The body lotion is quick absorbing, and it's perfume scent is a nice added touch. Not only is it convenient to take along on your holiday vacations, it's handy to keep in your purse or on your desk at work!
The blow dry lotion was very effective and it left my hair shiny and soft. All you do is distribute evenly thorough damp hair, and blow dry as desired. I found that after putting about a quarter size of this product in my hair, it took half the time to blow dry my hair! Approximately, five minutes...that's like record time considering that my hair is past my shoulders!
The travel sized products also come in: Clarifying Shampoo, Super Comb, Support Solution, Firm Hold Gel, Thermal Styling Protection, Texture Styling Creme, Non Aerosol Hair Spray, Volumizing Shampoo, Volumizing Conditioner, and Hydrating Conditioner. (The ones I tried out were the Reconstructing Masque, Blow Dry Lotion, Body Lotion, and Hydrating Shampoo.)
