The PRODUCT Blog - Pure Ingredients for Gorgeous Hair

Lights, Camera, PRODUCT!

If Siobhan Carmody is your makeup artist, you can be sure you're ready for your close-up ...  The creative & talented Ms. Carmody, trained in Britain, brought her skills to Hollywood and is building a successful career working on feature films, commercials and fashion print. 

Makeup for movies is a demanding art, and often means working long hours and holding up gracefully under the pressure for perfection.  That's why it was so exciting to hear that Siobhan absolutely adores PRODUCT, and that it's found a prominent place in her 'bag of tricks'! 

Ms. Carmody contacted us over the summer, expressing her interest in trying PRODUCT pomade.  After using it on a few of her jobs, she got back in touch to let us know what wonderful results she had ... This is what she wrote:

"I love PRODUCT, and the actors I've used it on loved it, too.  On set it works great to settle those crazy flyaways that catch the light.  I can smooth down hair to give a sleek, groomed look, and can also use it to create a textured look for guys.  A little goes a long way, so there's never a fear of buildup - it's great!  Having PRODUCT in my on-set bag and in my main kit, I've gotten so many comments on it - about the very cute packaging, the great smell and the performance.  Thanks for introducing me to my new favorite hair product!"

It doesn't get much more positive than that!

The man of the hour this weekend is definitely Dad.  Plus, Father's Day coincides with the first day of summer this year, so there's plenty to celebrate this Sunday ...

Recently, I was impressed by the father/daughter story behind Chris Rock's heartfelt, personal and undoubtedly funny documentary, 'Good Hair Day,' which was honored with the Special Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival.  I found it touching that Mr. Rock was inspired to make his doc after learning of his daughter's distress at not having, as she put it tearfully, "good hair."  Her strife spurred him on a quest to explore the "good hair" concept, to get enlighten himself on the subject in hopes of being of help to her, and to understand where she was coming from. What a dad!!

'Good Hair Day' apparently delves pretty deeply into African American hair culture, spending time with the general public in salons and beauty parlors, and interviewing celebrities and prominent social figures about their hair attitudes and experiences.  Rock expands his focus to include a history of and discussion about hair styling in the black community - a topic of great significance to many people individually, but rarely part of the larger discourse.  Ethnic hair care has its own world of issues, concerns, ideals and practices, and has developed as a part of African American social culture for generations ...  Who would have thought a father's concern would lead to a documentary about black womens' hair styling preferences?  Unexpected, and a delightful turn of events in my opinion ...

Enjoy your Father's Day!
