QOTD 2/20
Re: QOTD 2/20
I was using that new Clear brand, but I wasn't happy with it. I asked my hair stylist and she recommended stuff that they sell at the salon. I bought that, but really don't like it. It cost enough that I am using it up!
A co-worker recommended Biolage, I may try that next. I've always had good results with Pantene, so I may go back to Pantene when the stuff from my hair salon is finished.
I use a little on my ends now I chopped my hair off. I usually go through 2 shampoos for 1 conditioner.
For shampoo, I use Biolage (by Matrix) for color treated hair. Yes, it's $30 a bottle, BUT it's a HUGE bottle and if you do the math it ends up being cheaper per ounce than the cheaper stuff that doesn't work as well. I only dye my hair every 16 weeks, so I need something that can really preserve my color.
For conditioner, I mix it up between Pantene hydro light (I think that's what it's called), Aveda Dry Remedy, and Aveda Maddar Root (it's pigmented and puts the red back in my hair when my color starts to fade)
I have to change often as I develop allergies and sensitivities to them so quick.
Right now I am using MEN'S dove hair care (smells kind of nice lol) and I use just an iddy biddy bit of herbal essence conditioner after.

Paul Mitchell...the original Awapuhi (or whatever) shampoo and Detangler conditioner. Comb through, throw in a bit of Biosilk Silk Therapy and I'm done. I had my hair trimmed this week-end, first time since the week prior to the wedding, and lady just kept saying 'your hair is SO SOFT' It was kind of awkward, but my 'good' shampoo/conditioner is my only real splurge - so that made it seem worth it! However, I use points from mypoints for $25 to JCPenney, buy it in their salon - I paid $4.26 out of pocket last week, and it should last me four-five months. I have baby fine hair, and a lot of it. I'm too lazy to fix it, so I do try to keep it healthy, in hopes I can continue being lazy with the curl!
My other splurge is purchasing good razors. I shave every day (I think I saw a post on that recently!) and expect a razor to last 4-6 days.
I have to change semi-regularly due to my hair deciding to look oily and greasy even when it's just washed after I've been using the same one too long. I've been working on "conditioning" my hair to get used to being washed every other day.
I'm currently using either the Clear long lengths or the Herbal Essences color protectant. My MIL gave me a huge bottle of the WEN shampoo (which is like, $50 dollars for the huge bottle) for Christmas. I loved it for the first couple of weeks, but then my hair started looking greasy again. It works as a shampoo/conditioner. I tried switching between it and regular shampoo/conditioner, but it didn't work
