Salon quality product lines recs?

Yeah, the SEM is cool, it does what it's supposed to do IMO. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it, and so far I've tried it on rollersets instead of my super skinny serum. I want to try it when I blow dry next time so I can really check out my ends. I do like the Protect & Shine better, though.

I wanted to get that....Its only aight?

Oh well, herbal essences has a split end treatment premeiring this month.

I really didn't use it consisently to give a honest review.

I applied it after my leave-in prior to rollersetting.

I did have a few split ends at the time but rather than try to mend them or hang on to them....I got a trim

I was thinking I could use it on my ends at night before bed.

I used it this way too. Give it a try & see how you like it.

Is that the 17minute kit....I am ordering that this week.

Yep it is the 17 minute kit and I love it. I also have the Kpak split end mender. I need to use it consistently so that i can give a review on it. I love the serum too.

I saw Joico prod. at Marshall's a couple weeks ago.

Question: When ppl refer to "salon quality" they just mean products that are sold in salons right? B/c there are products in the drugstore that are just as nice as those in the salon, that even used to be salon exclusive before the company decided to branch out to retail. I'm thinking of Tresemme in particular. I haven't used them, but my friend does and her hair is healthy...
However, since Nexxus went retail, their "quality" IMO has fallen off...Pantene used to be salon exclusive, too. I wonder if they're products changed when they went retail...Just thinking out loud...

Since Nexxus went retail, the only things I have had sucess with have been emergencee and the shampoo's. I used to love Keraphix but it seems different to me now.

I havent tried Keraphix but I love Emergencee and Humectress.

I have to concur, Emergencee, Therappe and Humectress are all the bomb--if this is the "dumb downed" version, my hair would feel like heaven with the Original stuff...
