Wash And Go, To Grow And To Dazzle 2020 Challenge

[toaster]

@Bette Davis Eyes love your smile in your pictures!!

I have the smaller (12 ounce?) bottle of AG Boost and I do really really like it as a shampoo. Are there other comparable shampoos for less money? I’d say so. I haven’t tried a bunch of shampoos to offer any alternatives thought.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Is AG boost worth $30? What in cheese crackers?

So the only rinse outs I've been using are that and Giovanni smooth as silk and I've been pretty satisfied with not trying out new rinse outs. (Although I want a third one in rotation just cause).

Unless you need it I'd wait for a 20% off Ulta coupon. I have yet to buy Boost at full price. Sometimes jcp has AG on sale too.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

KCKT and KCCC for my most recent. Idk what those stray pieces are doing. Being petty I guess.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

AG sent me a 15% off but shipping is $9 @toaster @oneastrocurlie

 

[toaster]

Omg. I’ve never even tried Boost hahaha.

Only the shampoo.

My favorite conditioner is briogeo curl charisma!

Ulta does offer a sample size. And I'm pretty sure it's offered in stores. I think.

@oneastrocurlie your hair is sooo pretty!

When I use up one of my AG Boost bottles I think I may grab that to try.

I think it depends on your hair. If you have that hair that loves just about anything, maybe not. My hair hates just about everything. My hair did like the AG products though. But I'm allergic to one of the natural ingredients in it. I also bought it when it was a 2 for one, which was a good deal. I have found for my hair, paying more for the shampoo and conditioner has paid off in the long run.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

FOR $30 , for shampoo ? My hair better sit up and swang. Conditioner doesnt bother as much but we will see. Im seeing good reviews lately.

Imma pop in Ulta and see if I can score some samples today

I'm finding this as well. I have samples of the adwoa beauty shampoo but it's $22 full size. Going to wait until the Sephora sale to grab more but between that and AG Balance I think I'm set until I run out of my Elucence Clarifying shampoo - will need a good clarifying one then. I'm just using other shampoos I already have to prevent wasting them.

Yes, I have found that paying the extra for the shampoo makes a big difference. It will last me 2 years at least. And I have to use far less conditioner, my hair is easy to detangle and my hair stays more hydrated. For me it is the shampoo where the money needs to be spent. I didn't think it mattered either. But once I tried some, yeah it is worth it to me to just pay the extra money.

It sounds like a lot of money but $22 a year or $30 a year really isn't that much when you think of it like that. And a bottle really last for 1 to 2 years so, its not really a cost I need to be concerned with. If I eat out once a month that money is shot.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I don’t mind conditioner and deep
Conditioner. That’s all I have in my stash.

I loveeeeeeeee a good rinse out. I don’t use a lot of shampoos though. . I have found a new one that I like though. Tangles and Beyond sweet pea. Lawd. It’s soooo good. 16ozs $22.

This isn’t hair related at all (whoops!) but my wedding was featured online yesterday and I wanted to share with my friends

To make it hair related, I got a blow out the day before the wedding for our rehearsal dinner (the picture that’s my avatar) and then I added clip ins for thickness on the day of the wedding. My hair was already really long, but it was a special occasion and I wanted extra hair!

Speaking of shampoo I'm a little salty at myself for buying this liter of Oyin Ginger Mint Cowash. I like it but I don't really cowash very much. I will NEVER get through this bottle lol.

I could never get past the smell so I returned mine after trying it twice. Now I feel like if I gave it a chance the smell would grow on me, but I have other products I like so I’ll probably never go back to it.

 

[toaster]

Thank you so much @oneastrocurlie ! I’ve decided someone on Beyoncé’s team gets google alerts and maybe they saw this and that’s good enough for me

Thank you @Bette Davis Eyes !! My mom was so happy that day. There was a lot of stress with rescheduling the wedding and I think she was relieved that we made it.

I had to do a reset today because the New Orleans humidity played no games with my hair the past few days. I'm trying a part-less wash n go but the shorter hair in the front keeps flopping into my face. I *almost* want to cut some bangs again, but I will sit on my hands.

Have you tried pinning a Bobby pin in the front to create “faux” bangs?

Ive seen people really pull that off without having to cut real bangs.

I haven't done it in a long time, I may revisit it.

I’ve been wearing a puff for 4 days now. As much as I like it, I’m looking forward to washing my hair tomorrow and wearing it down.

Loved reading your feature @toaster you are stunning and your wedding looks beautiful.

This is me. I'm always thinking I need to protect my ends but I can't help myself. I love wearing my hair down.
