Ojon has launched a new collection of cleansers, shampoos and conditioners called Rare Harvest Tawaka. The collection offers all you could need to cope with dry, damaged and aging skin and hair.

The MakeupGirl reports that Rare Harvest Tawaka shampoo and conditioner are sulfate free and can be used both for face and body.

The shampoo is dubbed a “cleanser” which can also be used on your face and body! I found that the trick is to shampoo twice and the second time leave it in for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. It is more like a treatment than a plain old shampoo…good for all hair and skin types - particularly dry, damaged, aging skin and hair. No oily residue either PLUS, the sulfate free formula won’t strip hair so if you have color treated hair you are safe. Just like the shampoo, the conditioner is also sulfate free and can be used on the face and body as well. It is rich in anti oxidants which I wouldn’t think would be a big deal for your hair but apparently it is!

According to Make Her Up, for this collection Ojon uses unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf and Achiote Seed Extracts.

A breakthrough in skin- and haircare, Ojon employs unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf Extract - used by the Tawaka™ for its anti-inflammatory properties - and Achiote Seed Extract to soothe and calm damaged skin and hair. In addition, Wildcrafted Ojon® oil and Cocoa Seed Butter provide long-lasting hydration and anti-oxidant protection.

The prices for the Rare Harvest Tawaka Collection range from $6.50 to $59.99.

The Bob hairstyle is back in fashion again. Katie Holmes and Rhianna have bobs.

The Trendhunter Magazine reports that fashionistas are lining up at salons on the coast to get the haircut that is once again considered sophisticated, fun, and flirty, all in one style.

Red Carpet Victim examines the origin of the bob.

The bob arose in the 1920s out of a sense of rebellion as women chopped their previously long, luxurious locks and struggled to gain independence and equality with men. Louise Brooks […] was the first big name to sport the look, but it has never entirely gone away. Anna Wintour (right), editrix of Vogue, has worn the look for years.

Bellasugar states that this short, chic style especially flatters those with round and square face shapes.

Following the example of some celebrities, West End Artgirl says that not only does she like this hairstyle trend very much, but she is also willing to change her hair style as a result.

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this latest trend in hairstyles. It’s THE BOB. Hopefully, the days of the mile long wavy weave is behind us and the time for more edgier cuts and flirty bangs are here. In fact, I’m thinking about giving my locks a rest and getting a Chinese Bob wig to rock with the celebs who are definitely putting more ‘bang’ in their style this season.
