Ladies, thank goodness I didn't participate in vowing to not purchase new products till 2004. Granted, I have been a good girl using the same hair products since spring and my only new purchase was my amino 1500 last month. Anyhow, i love to either use my biosilk silk therapy (huge bottle at costco-cheap!)or bain de terre recovery complex on my wet hair before blow drying or flat ironing. yesterday in the east village i spotted biosilk silk therapy shampoo $9.99 and creme humectant $8.99 in the window of a drugstore and bought them. I've never seen them cheaper and have been wanting to try. i purchased biosilk silk therapy smoothing balm which is for curly or straight styles for $10.99 elsewhere. i will probably try them in about a week or so and will keep you guys posted. I thought, it's my birthday this weekend, what better reason to buy a new product?
