Celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger invited a few lucky bloggers to her downtown NYC salon on September 3 for the unveiling of her newest hairstyling product, Luxe Layers Protective Blow Out Gel, available exclusively on HSN. I was there to see Hershberger in action, which was a real treat, because cuts with her run $800, so I likely won't be a client anytime soon. Note that this doesn't mean I wasn't secretly hoping she'd pull me from the audience for an impromptu fix of my style. Alas, that didn't happen, but Hershberger did demonstrate the product on a few models. The video of the event is on Hershberger's homepage now.

Luxe Layers is easy just to use -- just a few pumps, rubbed in your hands, then spread throughout your hair, provides thermal protection/prevents against heat damage, seals against color wash-out, protects against the sun and environmental aggressors, and blocks humidity and static to minimize frizz and flyaways. It's made from a proprietary complex of cationic polymers, natural cellulose, and amino acids, is blended with silk and cashmere extracts for internal strength with superior smoothing and long-lasting styling effect. It's alcohol-free, not tested on animals, does not contain animal products or drying solvents, and is non-silicone based, so it won't weigh down even fine hair. Hershberger says it also helps blow-outs last longer.

Luxe layers ($18.00/5 oz.) is just one of Hershberger's full line of products, all reasonably priced. You can get her Luxe Layers Trio on HSN, or just try my new favorite, Genius Spray Wax.

Seeing the product demonstrated live was much better than Hershberger just telling us about it. You can catch Hershberger on HSN doing just this on September 8 at 1 a.m., 8 a.m., and 7 p.m., and on September 9 at 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. To see her demonstrate other products, check out her styling tips videos.
