LEONOR GREYL FOR A STEAL! NEW BEAUTY FLASH SITE GLOSS48.COM -and why my roomies and I put our hair on the floor risking ER trip

"I tried the Leonor Greyl Bain Volumatueur that you told me I had to have! I didn't work it right? What did I do wrong? You said that it would lift and add volume to my thin hair? What's going on Meg?"


What's going on is I didn't explain how to use it correctly and you used it like a "normal shampoo."  It has different rules, the Eiffel Tower is not a simple "tower." The Sistine Chapel is not a mere "chapel," Leonor Greyl shampoo is not just "shampoo."

Here is what you need to know in simple terms about Leonor Greyl and I will explain exactly how to get AMAZING results with Bain Volumatueur Shampoo for your thin, flat hair. Then I will send you to a new flash site www.gloss48.com where TODAY YOU CAN PURCHASE LEONOR GREYL FOR 30% OFF WITH AN ADDITIONAL $10 off Leonor Greyl products CODE: MMGREYL10

1. LEONOR GREYL BAIN VOLUMATUEUR IS NOT GOING TO LATHER AND GET ALL "SUDSY." WHY?

Suds are bad. That's the simple answer. If you don't want to take my word for it here is the reason suds are bad. SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfates is really awful for you. If you have anything in your shower with it, I'd toss it. THE ONY THING IT PROVIDES IS SUDS, "suds" give the illusion of being clean. "Suds" are created by SLS, which is so cheap companies add it into products for an inexpensive "foam." In reality, the SLS is stripping your hair color. If you have an itchy scalp, redness/itch around the mouth-thank your friend SLS which will leave you SOL.

2. HOW DO I RINSE LEONOR GREYL SHAMPOOS? WHY CAN'T I JUST STICK MY HEAD UNDER THE SHOWER?

There is an art to this process. There are so many essential oils in Leonor Greyl shampoos you never need to work it into your hair below your ears. They are so jam packed with oils and vitimans that the water is just going to bounce off the shampoo if you don't follow this process.

a. IT'S SUPER CONCENTRATED: No more than a quarter size amount, nickel size, I find to be sufficient. Put only at your roots.

b. CUP THE WATER INTO YOUR HANDS AND WORK: Really rinse with your fingers that shampoo, the oils will saturate and infiltrate, not only cleansing your scalp but nourishing your entire hair, all the way down to the ends. The key is really saturating and diluting this strong serum. 

c. SPECIAL, SECOND STEP FOR Bain Volumatueur: It's so nice we do it twice. Yes, do the above 2x for the full volume to kick it. This Volumatueur works 2x as hard to bring you volume. The first step is to cut through bad oils and residue build up that fine and thin hair suffers from. The second time it works directly at your roots injecting a volume blast. This is for the most optimum results. Trust me. 

3. I CAN'T FIND A LEONOR GREYL CONDITIONER? WHY IS THAT AND WHAT'S WITH ALL THEIR "MASQUES?"

Leonor Greyl was started 45 years ago in Paris and people in Paris are fancy. "Conditioner" does not sound nearly as glamorous or Parisian as "Masque" (see where I'm I'm going with this?) Masque Fleurs de Jasmin is great for all hair types and smells amazing to all nose types. Same with all of the masques! Here is the best way to use them

a. DONT "MASQUE" ABOVE THE EARS!: This is serious silkening and nourishment power. You don't want to weigh any hair down and as we previously discussed. The shampoos are so nourishing there is no need to "masque" above your lobes. So yes, put it in your shower and use it as a "condtioner" but you're tres sophisticated so we "masque."

b. YOU CAN LEAVE IT IN AS A TRADITIONAL MASQUE: Yes, it smells like Heaven (so I've been told) again, just on your ends. I like to occasionally sleep in it, a little goes a long way and your ends will feel amazing.

LEONOR GREYL HUILE DE PALME? WHAT IS THIS? IS JEN ANISTON REALLY OBSESSED WITH IT? DID YOU HONESTLY RISK NOT ONLY YOUR HEAD BUT ALSO THE HEAD OF YOUR INNOCENT ROOMMATES AND MAIN GAY WITH A TRIP TO THE ER?

Holy Grail product, Jen Aniston uses it constantyl and yes. Yes, I sure did, before you judge me. Let me explain and ask if you too would risk it?

a. Leonor Greyl Huile De Palme changes the game for A-List hair: It's an oil that you put in (I like it the night before-doesn't ruin the pillow case, smells fab.) It has so many benefits. You just need a dime size amount. Distribute it through your hair. It prolonges color, provides protection from all the elements, nourishes and even defends against chlorine.

b. JEN ANISTON? Chris McMillin, her hair guru (he started The Rachael) let it slip to Star Magazine that she uses it religiously and the phones over at Leonor Greyl blew up. Everyone has a Mane Gay!

c. YOU MADE YOUR ROOMATES/MAIN GAY RUB THEIR HEADS ON THE FLOOR AND RISK INJURY? Yes. I did. I mean they had the option not to do it, but they're not fools. You see, I realized that I had these products in the powder room and I had not told them how to use it, or the benefits and I felt badly that their hair was not what all it could be. I had to teach them to fish. Imagine if I was your roomie and you had this in your shower and had no idea the benefits? That would make me a terrible roommate, a dastardly friend!

I sat Kristen, Lisa and Denny around our diningroom table with all of our Leonor Greyl products on it. I painstakingly went through the entire line, the ingredients, the instructions, the celebrities that love them. They were a captivated audience, they asked all the right questions and "oohed and aawed" over the scents and textures. With a glass of pinot noir in my right hand I lifted (like that scene in The Lion King where Simba is held up to the Animal Kingdom, or the picture where Michael Jackson lifted baby Blanket out the hotel window for the paparazzi.)  I said, "here it is! The item we have all been waiting to hear about! Leonor Greyl Huille de Palme!" It was dramatic, it was glorious and then, in slow motion our faces turned to panic as we saw me drop the magical bottle. The answer to all of our hair's problems made a cracking sound as the bottle shattered on my diningroom table with precious oil spilling onto the hardwood floors!

"HIT THE DECK!" I yelled. As I grabbed the ends of my hair, got down on my knees and doing my best to avoid glass chunks, began soaking my hair on the oil on the floor. Did the other three look at me like I was insane? NO. I had to move over as all three of them joined me. Each of us on our knees, on the floor, avoiding glass shards and soaking our hair with Huille de Palme. It was like Jennifer Aniston's follicles had possessed us and we had no control, we were desperate for a "perfect hair day."

BEST HAIR DAY EVER! Those were the comments my roomates left on my facebook wall the next day and no one was cut, no trip to the ER and my hardwood, dining room floor has a very shiny, gorgeous sheen in the spot it was dropped. When I am a very rich woman I will be throwing out the Pine Sol and mopping with Leonor Greyl Huille de Palme. It really has so many uses! 

If I haven't sold you on Leonor Greyl's products then you can't be sold or can't read. The last a long time, are amazing and are a bit pricey (a little truly goes a long way but I'm going to help you out and point you in a direction where you can really save!) Try it out and see without a big financial risk.

"Deal of the Day" flash sales have been popping up all over and I was just introduced to one www.gloss48.com that tomorrow is running the amazing Leonor Greyl sale. I have to warn you, once you try these products you might find yourself risking life and limb to keep them. 

I hope you all find my tips useful and that this article gives you the knowledge to really take a look at what SLS ingredient products you have going on your hair. What's the point of paying a lot for an expensive color treatment to just strip the color away faster with cheap shampoo? Doesn't make a lot of sense to ruin your hue to save cents.

Let me know what other "flash sales" you think are great! Leonor Greyl is the #1 Luxury hair care sold in France. Those Frenchies are crazy for this, I don't know if they're as crazy for it as we are. And yes, those are the actual photos!

So please tell me what you think! I love sharing our crazy beauty mania antics with fellow beauty maniacs!

This actually happened. Clearly. The moment that bottle fell we hit the ground and soaked up all that delicious oil. The next morning I washed my hair in the NEW way that Meg was talking about and it looked totally amazing. What is impressive is that I haven't washed my hair in the five days since (I'm not generally so gross, rough week) and it STILL looks totally fine. The suds thing Meg is talking about is weird to get used to - but she is right. I would highly recommend this product and we have tried a LOT of hair products in this house.

Yes, yes this is all a true story. And everything Meg says about these products is absolutely true! My hair has felt richer, cleaner, and shinier ever since using these products. I highly recommend giving them a try and watch and feel your hair transform...however, I suggest you not drop the product on the floor ! ;) GO BUY Leonor Greyl's products!

Hmm.  Never say never. I am intrigued.  But you could have just poured the oil on the floor. There are a lot of young teens on this site (I have teens myself so no teen bashing) and the dog days of summer break are ripe for seemingly harmless experiments as described "hair".

Hahaha. Such a funny post, and thanks for the super specific instructions! Now I will not fail! I had a bottle of hair oil fall onto the floor and shatter, spilling lovely smelling Oro Fluido all over the floor. The room smelled amazing, but my heart hurt at the loss. It wasn't cheap stuff, and it was such a treat. Replaced it with something cheaper in a plastic bottle...

oh my! this is triggering flashbacks of a time when I dropped and broke a brand new bottle of juice beauty blemish clearing serum....me, trying to decide if my bathroom floor was clean enough to allow for scooping up as much as possible and putting in a different container...and this, a product for my face! it also reminds me of who I inherited my grace from. my mommy. years ago, she had collected depression glass pieces. she had this lovely pickle dish....and one fateful night, after having company over and a few drinks...she accidentally flung outside on the concrete and patio and broke in an ill-fated attempt to dump the pickle and olive juices out into the pool (how many drinks makes THAT seem like a good idea?).. but WOW to this deal, yeah? i've been dying to try this line...I just ordered the travel kit so I could try the shampoo and masque along with this heavenly oil...and I also got the detangling and finishing duo. the full size shampoo and masque duo was sold out, dangit! i'm super psyched to try this stuff.

Oh yes, I've stopped with the SLS and 'cones and my hair is looking and feeling soooo silky. (that's saying a lot because my hair is processed within an inch of its life and I've got a lot of greys coming in)

I received my Leonor Greyl order from gloss48 today!! Truly a Christmas in July...the huile de palme has an almost incense-y fragrance...in the BEST sense. It smells like a really amazing local record store or funky boutique...such a sentimental smell for me...i'm also loving the lait luminescence bi-phase detangling and conditioning spray...and Meg, you'd be proud of me for shampooing the proper way for a full 5 minutes! I'm so enamored that I've already placed another order for more products.

I'm intrigued. I have pretty thick fairly straight hair which tends to be oily at the roots and dry at the ends. I've tried a few natural shampoos in the past and also tried co-washing but I find they tend to leave my hair looking greasy and not washed properly. I've read that strong detergents like SLS make my hair type worse but have yet to find an alternative that works. I wonder if these might be what i've been looking for.

I have used sneakpeeq in the past and got some great things off there for huge discounts.  I've made myself stop looking though because I was spending too much :)  But it was fun while it lasted!

After reading the article I must conclude that the Leonar Greyl is truly a blessing for all of the hair suffering women. I should have tried this before I tried the hair extensions london salon. The hair extensions london salon has variety of methods to return the exquisiteness of feminine hair. For more information follow the link http://www.hairextensionspro.co.uk/salon
