Hair

I am a vain person and I love my hair. That's not the only thing I love about me, so it's rare for me to look at someone else and think "I wish I had their___." Well actually long legs comes to mind. I do wish I had longer legs, but I digress. I spend a junk load of money on my hair and consequently hair products. Wes I think pretends that I don't because he just wants me to cut it all off. Anyway, I'd like to do a little hair products review, because I've recently found some pretty great stuff.

Top of the list is BioSilk. I put this on after I blow dry but before I flat iron when I do flat iron. It makes your hair smell like you just stepped out of the salon, and it's so touchably soft I can't keep my hands out of my own hair. Also helps a lot with the smooth and shiny aspect. I used to use Chi before I flat ironed and it made my hair very shiny, but crunchier and I don't love the way it smelled. Chi is still a very good product though.

Next, Dikson shampoo. This stuff is great. If you are a Pureology fan you would like this and it's $11/bottle instead of $25. It still smells good and does a great job, especially if you have really dry hair like mine. I also found out that you shouldn't buy the big bottle because it has protein in it and it can go bad over time. This was important for me to know because it takes me months to finish a bottle of shampoo, because I only wash my hair 1-2x's/week. I do still use a Pureology serum of some type as a heat protector before I blow dry my hair. I used to use this stuff called Phyto, but it is packaged ridiculously and it doesn't smell all that great even though it does a good job. At this point I would call it pretentious shampoo.

As far as conditioners go, I do still have some Phyto left and it's decent. Again it doesn't smell great. What I like more is this Herblean Pack it's green and has that clear your nostrils smell to it. I love that. It's also super moisturizing, my hair just soaks it up. I'll be looking for something to replace the Phyto soon, so let me know if you have any suggestions. Otherwise, I leave myself to those wonderful girls at GotBeauty for their recommendations. I'm such a sucker and I buy anything they say, but I'm usually happy that I did.

To finish on a product note, I already mentioned my Pureology serum. When I let my hair curl (aka I'm too lazy to blow dry it) some Curls Rock by Catwalk works really well. It keeps the frizz to a minimum. Occasionally, I'll help it out with a little Bed Head Manipulator. That hearkens back to my short hair days when Manipulator ruled my world. What I'm looking forward to trying out this summer is Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray. It should really help when I'm water skiing all the time so I don't have to style my hair. It's supposed to give you the ocean hair look, which will hopefully work with my curl. I'll let you know about that one later. I think I have a sickness that I love hair products so much.
