To help restore health and shine to lackluster locks is the new Healthy Shine Nourishing Oil. The waterless treatment oil penetrates the hair to restore health and shine to hair follicles.

To help straighten hair and control frizz is the new Bamboo Extract Straightening Balm. The bamboo extract coats each strand to strengthen and condition damaged hair, while passion flower extract restores moisture and shine. It also features a Style Support Polymer to protect curly, frizzy and relaxed hair against humidity, and it provides lightweight hold for long-lasting straight styles. The price also is $9.99.



The Nuance Salma Hayek line, which is exclusive to CVS/pharmacy, launched in 2011. Hayek’s grandmother, a cosmetologist who developed her own homemade beauty remedies, inspired the line. An embodiment of her family heritage, the products in the Nuance Salma Hayek line represent the fusion of proprietary formulations and personal beauty rituals passed down from generations. Hayek’s own beauty rituals, as well as her global travels, inspired each product in the line.
