Your loyal locks deserve a break. They’ve stuck with you through countless frying blow-drys, years of traumatic
straightening sessions, and even that one summer when you decided to endure
three hours of bleaching only to find out that blondes really don’t have more
fun. Treat your tresses to the high-end fix they’ve earned with two new
products from Umi Salon (75 Newbury Street, Boston,
617.247.0770). The local hub of good hair days has garnered widespread
recognition for its line of products that launched in 2007. Free of colorants
and needless detergents, the formulations are brimming with the kind of good
stuff you won’t find on the shelves of your corner drugstore. And with the two
new hair delights that debuted in late June, ladies hoping to look perfectly
coiffed can have all their hair prayers answered. Craving the to-die-for
texture your locks only get after a day submerged in the sea — just sans le
sand, le seaweed, and le smell? Try the new Umi Foam ($27.50), made with
Dead Sea salt water and rich botanicals for pumping up your volume, plus apple,
lemon, and green tea extracts to help you get that healthy shine. Kick your
now-voluminous look up a notch with Umi Finish ($21.50/2 oz,
$33.50/4 oz), an ultra-lightweight finishing mist that will polish off your
locks without cramping your super-sized style. Find both new additions at the
salon or at www.umisite.com. Your hair is starved for some high-end attention —
it’s high time you let it feed.
