Really? What happened?

 

[bimbabe]

I really hate to comb my hair. It seems to grow more when I leave it alone and just wash away the shedded hair.

It was my first time using a flat iron. I was going out with my bf and not only was I rushed but I was really really hot (it was a humid night)-and started sweating. So my hair looked like a puff ball! I want to practice my flat ironing technique-but not on my own hair

 

[Supergirl]

I feel ya Bimbabe. It'll get better with practice

 

[adrienne0914]

i haven't bought anything new, just restocked...

 

[Peachtree]

HITS
- Proclaim Activator Gel
( 1st try was several months ago... HATED IT! Now, it's 1 of my favs

)

- Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Vera Gel
( purchased several months ago... used it for the 1st time today... it's a keeper

)

Misses:
None

Undecided:
VO5 Kiwi & Lime Clarifying Poo... my hair was tangled afterwards... will give it another try one day

 

[soulchild]

Peachtree, I don't know about the Kiwi & Lime Shampoo, but I really like the conditioner. It's great for conditioner washes if you feel like you have some buildup but don't want to shampoo. Plus it has a very pleasant scent!
