Biolage is one of my favorite haircare lines, especially for hydrating my hair. Biolage's Ultra Hydrating Balm is one of the supreme products on the market that I love. Since I follow a semi-strict "no poo" regimen, I use this to wash my scalp and hair.

The ultra hydrating balm is designed to be used on thick, course, and dry hair. I fall in two of those categories; thick and dry. The directions suggest that for intense hydrating, leave in hair for 1-3 minutes. I always leave conditioner in my hair for a ridiculous long time (up to 24 hours), because I personally don't believe that you can over condition/moisturize your hair, especially dry and thick hair mavens such as myself!

I "wash" my hair every other day with this conditioner and the results are nothing less than silky, shiny, soft, and frizz-less curls. Love It!

For that extra "oomph" of conditoning and moisturizing, top the experience with Biolage leave-in conditioner. Until recently, I was a hardcore buyer of Infusium 23 leave-in for dry hair. After my tresses got a "taste" of this leave-in, it was "adios" to Infusium-23 and "come to mama" to Biolage! I know, before you start raising your hands in fury, its for limp hair, but it works just as lovely! Trust me!

Stay Stylish!
