All about hair!!!


SO I have naturally straight, fine hair. Technically I have to wash my hair everyday because it gets so oily &matted to my head! But, I don't like to wash my hair everyday because I don't want to damage it with heat from my hairdryer &straightener so I decided to try some dry shampoos. First I went cheap with Treseme` Fresh Start. WORST thing EVER. DO NOT waste your money. This isn't worth ONE CENT. All this did  was put white powder in my head, made my hair even more greasy &flattened it!  UGH!!! So, then I t­ried the Oscar Blandi dry shampoo. TERRIBLE. Same problem that Fresh Start gave me. This is CRAP for $11 (I bought the travel one to test it). So, I laid off dry shampoos for a while until the summer just started getting so ridiculously hot that i can't stand to dry my hair! I went to Ulta &bought Rockaholic dry shampoo &conditioner. Rockaholic is AMAZING. It gives my hair volume &absorbs all the oil in my hair without making it look dull! I think it was around $20 for each of them but it's worth it! It smells amazing, makes it look like I just washed my hair! I also got Batiste ($8) to try &that one works good too. I like Rockaholic the best though, Batiste is worth getting if your looking for a cheaper alternative. I ended up actually trying Rockaholic Energizing Shampoo (regular standard liquid stuff) &I really like that too! I absolutely LOVE the brand Kenra too, their shampoo smells like creamsicle &its pearly orange colored. UH, YUM! Alterna is PRICEY, but they are a great line of hair care also. My hair is pretty low maintenance though because i rarely colour it. I do straighten my hair everyday but don't use it too hot and my hair is already straight so I only spend about five minutes basically just taming frizz. I don't use hairspray unless I curl my hair, which is never. So I don't mind spending extra cash on shampoo &other things. The best drugstore shampoo &conditioner I found is Infusium 23. I think it's around about $7-8 but that's reasonable.

I was in the drugstore looking for a good conditioner. I came across this little bottle by Aussie called 3 minute miracle deeeeeeeep conditioner. I opened  it &sniffed it &fell in love because I LOVE coconut scents. It was only $3 so it was worth a shot to try. So next time I went in the shower, I took a small amount out of the tube, seperated half the amount for my roots &half for my ends. Once I got out of the shower, dried &straightened my hair, it felt SO soft &shiny &healthy ! I can't live without this conditioner now. I use it probably about every other day even though its more of a once a week thing, but I love it so much. Aussie shampoo is pretty good too, I'd buy it again. .
