So I am constantly trying new beauty products- anything and everything. I must spend a fortune on products. And do I really need to? No, most of them don't work anyways. So I thought I'd turn my beauty mistakes into a blog that (hopefully) will help other people out there.
Now that we've got the 'why?' covered, onto some products.
I'm definitely a junkie when it comes to hair products, and my shampoo and conditioner are no exception. At any given time, you can look in my shower and find at least 4 different sets of shampoo and conditioner. That's because I firmly believe that if you use the same product day-in and day-out, your hair ends up looking dull and lifeless (or, at least mine does).
So some of my favorites:
Korre's Natural Products- Rice Proteins & Oligoelements Shampoo and Silk Milk Conditioner
These two products make my hair look and feel amazing! I have long, wavy, fine hair, so normally my hair ends up looking dull and limp. But the shampoo definitely adds some body and the conditioner is great for shine. I will warn you, though: Do not leave the conditioner in for very long and make sure you rinse it completely out of your hair. I made the mistake one time and dealt with oily hair all day.
Redken- Body Full Shampoo & Conditioner
Great for fine hair. In an effort to add body, most products for fine hair end up drying it more than helping it. Not this stuff. I've been using it for a few years and still can't get over how great it smells- fresh and clean. I catch whiffs of it throughout the day and love it.
Aveda- Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Conditioner
Another fantastic smelling product. And, as an added bonus, it makes your scalp tingle. And the fact that it's from Aveda (one of my favorite companies) and is mostly natural makes me feel like I'm doing something good for myself.
Dove- Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner
The only grocery store brand I use. It's gentle enough for my dry hair, and, like most of the others, has a nice, clean scent. I actually use a lot of Dove products and pretty much endorse anything they make.

I'm a beauty whore, so you'll be hearing from me quite a bit. Good to see you writing again!
Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the Pantene Ice Shine conditioner. It's really nice, and it really does make your hair super-shiny.
yeah, I've tried the Ice Shine conditioner, as well as the Ice Shine hair spray. Both are pretty great, but for some reason, on my fine hair, the product build-up happens faster with Pantene products than with others. It's weird. Same with Herbal Essences. I think my hair is a bit snobby.
Hi, my name is kbee, and I am a lotions and potions addict. So glad we have found one another.
Couldn't agree more with your takes on the products with which I am already familiar (why IS it that herbal essences makes your hair feel like a paperweight half a bottle through?) and as for the products I have yet to try, well, consider me on it!!
So glad you started this...
hkb- Thanks. And thanks for stopping by.
Oh yeah, and good comparison with the Herbal Essences- definitely paper weight-ish.
