Kevin Murphy Products

Not so very long ago I was a die hard Aveda addict. I used Aveda almost exclusively for about 15 years. That was until my salon owner, Charlie, left the world of an Aveda platform artist to go solo. It was a very sad day for me when I walked into the salon and no longer saw my coveted Aveda products lining our walls. We got a few other product lines in and they were fine but, they were just not my Aveda. I was still in mourning until the day Kevin Murphy products entered my salon. Sleek cool packaging and smells very reminiscent of my beloved Aveda. Hmmmm I thought this could be a good thing, but I've been fooled by good looks and smell before *cough* most of my 20-something dating life *cough* So I gave the new products a whirl. I was SHOCKED at how much I loved it. Everything did what it claimed. Anti Gravity weightless volumiser was, well weightless volume. Motion Lotion curl enhancing cream gave me some of the best beachy curl I've ever had. The list goes on and on. Finally I've found my new love affair and it's awesome! This product line is developed by Australian hairdresser, Kevin Murphy and not by some corporate people who think we want to smell like cotton candy. I love that. It's sold only in salons which I love as well because I get to prescribe it to my clients and know they are buying the right product for their hair type.

I have a few samples of the Anti Gravity to give away. Leave a comment (make sure you leave your email) and I will pick the winners next Tuesday, May 5th.

  2. Kevin Murphy has also changed my life! I too had to mourn my loss of Aveda since I was no longer getting my sister discount. Dare I say that Kevin Murphy is better than Aveda? Anyway, I really love his stuff and thank you for turning me onto it especially staying alive. Love it!

  3. This is good information. I always struggle with finding really great products that work for my hair. I could definitely use the anti-gravity! jodi2025@hotmail.com

  4. i am a huge Aveda supporter! i moved near an Aveda salon a few years ago so i figured i'd give it a try and have been hooked ever since.

    i enjoy their face products as well as their hair products. i use the acne pads, the foaming face wash, hairspray, thickening shampoo and thickening syrum. i'd be curious to try this other line too but i don't know if any salons near me carry it yet.

  7. I'm always up for trying new products, especially ones that are recommended by friends. Plus, I really need to beautify myself more and some new products might help do the trick. :)

  10. I remembered reading this back when you first posted and I had to come back and comment because recently I've used some different Kevin Murphy products.

    The shampoos and conditioners do make my hair look and feel nice, and the motion lotion did enhance my curl. However, the products STINK. It's almost as bad as the wet hay/barn smell from henna, only it doesn't linger quite as long. Each time I've used my samples, and when I came home from the salon that used them on me, I smell like I'm dirty and my hair is filled with rancid organic matter. It is nasty. I may not want to smell like cotton candy, but I also don't want to smell like I rubbed incense in my hair.

  11. Well not every product is for everyone. And smells are a HUGE thing in my family so I totally understand. I have a couple of sisters who pretty much hate the smell of everything. And some people really LOVE the smell of cotton candy I'm just not one of them. So if you can't hack the smell then it's not for you :)
