The "Shampoo Myth Comes Clean"

Ever since I can remember I have been on the search for that "miracle hair product" ... the one that will leave your tresses looking healthy, shiny, and manageable. You know... that product that will make your hair feel like silk to the touch, the one that will give you the experience the ladies feel in the Herbal Essences commercials. I'm not so sure I have found it yet... but on the journey to it I have found a few great products that are wallet friendly.

It is rumored that your hair can get "used to" certain shampoos and conditioners and therefore you should switch up which ones you use every now and then. I was reading my "Prevention Magazine" (one of the bold fonts was "walk that belly off" and after having a baby, that's something I need to do so I purchased it, lol) and found that only 33% of people stick to the same shampoo brand. I know I'm not apart of that percentage. The truth is that your hair cannot get "used to" any product because hair is dead, which leaves it unable to adapt. But there are certain shampoo's that work better for different things... such as if you color your hair you may need a shampoo that is more moisturizing, or sometimes your scalp may need a clarifying shampoo to clean out any products your strands are holding on to.

With this being said I went to Wal Mart last night and picked out some new hair products! Lol. ;)



On first impression I am very satisfied with my new Garnier hair care products. They left my curls feeling very soft. I got the feeling of a squeaky clean scalp with the shampoo. The deep conditioner that is supposed to be great for dry hair & it really did make it easier for the comb to slide through my otherwise tangly hair. I used the leave in conditioner and wave enhancing spray after wards and i love how they are working for my hair so far too. They all smell wonderful to me as well.


The best thing is these products were about $2.75 each. I have tried Redken, Chi, Tigi, Mizani and other more expensive brands, but honestly for my hair, the cheap stuff works just as well if not better.

Curly Hair Woes

So today I was going to get my hair done at Trade Secret in the Mall.... but at the last minute I decided not to in fear that the stylist wouldn't know how to style my type of hair and therefore I'd be wasting my money.

I've had hair way down my back, I've had inch long hair, I've had relaxers, perm's, extensions for approx three days.. lol, and color damage that caused my hair to look like fuzz in different areas...

My hair is finally healthy, and reasonably long.. something I always wanted... but unfortunately now that I have what I want I always seem to wear it tucked away in a bun. -Sigh-

I need a hair fairy... someone who could make my strands look beautiful everyday!





A few MAC shadows I picked up the other day... Honey Lust, Naked Lunch, Woodwinked, Sketch, Mystery, Expensive Pink
