Today I used up my Propoline Multivitamin Shampoo. Must remember to get more shampoo at work tomorrow. Not sure what to try next... hmmmm.

Just finished my Alchemy Lemongrass shampoo this morning. Have another ready to go in the cupboard.

Not good Fusspot???

I used up my John Frieda Beach Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner. I think I will go back to Sheer Blonde for a change!

Not good Fusspot???


no pretty crap really

Pure Fiji Coconut Creme shampoo & conditioner. :hearts: Loved this so much. made my hair silky & smells gorgeous. Adore no longer stoc & it can be hard to get but if you are going to Fiji you MUST try this range.

Tigi Catwalk Curls Rock, curl amplifier. No bad. Its a cream that gives a mousse effect. Can be a bit crunchy but gives good definition. I found it hard to brush out though.

Oh Medusa I hate that when it does the crunchy thing. Especially when you're blonde or blonde highlights it always makes the curls look darker than what they really are. I mix some serum with my styling creams, mousses etc which seems to rectify this and yet still holds the curls but with some of that softness you want instead of the ole "crunch!!"

The best thing I have found for my curls is that humble sunsilk light hold mousse... makes my curls look fab and is not crunchy at all. It's cheap too.

John Frieda Revival Styling Mousse. Thank god I think I gave had this in the cupboard for a couple of years :yawn: Really sick of the sight of the whole JF range. I think I have had all of it at some stage. :shakehead:

Moving on to Fudge Skewd curl enhancer.

I got like that too M! The only thing I keep is the Ocean WAves salt spray thingy, everything else I have hidden or given away!

Today we killed off yet another Pantene conditioner, and a random brand one as well...............

Alpha-H Vitamin C Serum and Alpha-H Body Zone. :shakehead:

used up:

Alchemy Macadamia & Wheat Conditioner
Head & Shoulders Shampoo

Fredderic Fekkai Technicians Shampoo .... :redcheeks:
Mecca wont have any stock for a few weeks.:shakehead:

My beloved Cowshed Shampoo "Cowlick" & Conditioner "Saucy Cow"... :hugs:

Oh, I'd love to try those BKK! Will you be re-purchasing?

I'm scraping the bottom of my Kerastase Age Recharge deep-conditioning masque. It is so, so good - has definitely strengthened my locks.

They are awesome RBB!! :hugs:
I just wanna be good and not have a lot of shampoos on the go... esp when most of them are high end ones... I have repurchased Cowshed a number of times. I buy the smaller size, & because I rotate them with my Alchemy Shamp & Cond and my KMS Blonde Shampoo, they last for a few months.

I definately recommend Cowshed ! :worship:

Sounds good! Will have to get my hands on some. Thanks!

Used up - Alchemy Mac & Wheat conditioner (but have another in the cupboard yeah)

Terax Life Drops, Leave in protien Conditioner. Its nice & light and detangles my hair easily.

Moving on to Charles Worthington's Results Moisture-Seal, leave in.

I am trying to conserve my lush shampoo at the moment and I have lots of conditioner...

today I used up Alberto Shampoo and KMS gel conditioner.

I wish my shampoo and conditioner would run out, I've had them for bloody ages and I want a change!

Aveda Damage Remedy shampoo and conditioner. Best shampoo and conditioner EVER. Doesn't fade colour, highlights don't go brassy and say goodbye to split ends. Styling products: Aveda Phomollient and Air Control hairspray. :worship:

Oh cool. I have been hanging for some Aveda reviews.
What type of hair do you have? Tell me more!

Oh cool. I have been hanging for some Aveda reviews.
What type of hair do you have? Tell me more!

I've got fine hair (but lots of of it - an inch or so past my shoulders) with highlights, lowlights and a base colour that is about 3 shades lighter than my natural colour. I went 7 months without a cut and my new hairdresser was amazed that I had no split ends, particularly because I wash, blowdry and GHD my hair every day. My colours are also Aveda.

I haven't used the other shampoos and conditioners in the range, just the Damage Remedy products (including the treatment once a week). I like Aveda because it works. I buy by the litre and they usually last 5 months or so as you don't need to use much.

So do you go to an Aveda salon?

Yes, I go to an Aveda salon for cut, colour etc. They always give you a great head/neck massage as well.

I don't buy my products from there as they're just too danged expensive. It's actually cheaper to buy them from the US and have them shipped here! Good deals can usually be found on eBay, and there's often sample sized products on there if you want to try first.

Gee thanks for the tip.
Are you in NSW? Would you mind PMing me which salon you go to?

Sorry, I'm in New Farm, Brisbane. I've PM'd you some sample sizes on eBay.

Finished Fudge Skyscaper hairspray today. I really hated the smell of this - very industrial chemical like. :vomit:

So I need to get a new hairspray girls :spin: I have several mini sized hairsprays to use in the meantime. I want one that will brush out, hold down the fly aways in my ponytail and smell nice. I sniffed the Tigi one which smells like lollies as do all their products but $$ for a smallish can.

What do you think about Hairspray - can you get away with a supermarket cheapie?

I use the L'Oreal one thats in a purple can you can get from Hairhouse Warehouse Etc - I like that alot. I also have used I think the Tigi one in a blue can - but that was a really big can so not sure if thats the one you saw?

I personally haven't found a supermarket one that I like.

I use the Sunsilk one, the purple can. I don't use hairspray much, but I'm quite happy with this...and it smells like passionfruit!!! (IMO)

I have that massive black can that most hairdressers seem to have... it's pretty heavy duty! Works well and smells fine

Schwartzkopf Silhouette? That's what my flatmate uses - about half a can each time.

Ah yes, I think that might be it~~

Schwartzkopf Silhouette
Yeah I had this one just before. It is good but I want something new!

M I definitely think you can get away with a cheapie for hairspray. It really is just to set the style, doesn't need to do anything whizz-bang. I almost always buy mine in the good ol' supermarket, or Priceline.

goldwell lacquer was great , it wasn't like a normal lacquer , just a good hold , i will re purchase this again

Just run out of both my Alchemy shampoo and conditioner - am pretty sure will repurchase this...

Yeah i just use whatever hairspray is on special at priceline or when grocery shopping. as rbb said it doesn't need to be whizz bang!

Oh, I checked mine this morning - it is Goldwell Definition

Terax Crema :tears:

Guys, I have tended to buy the hairdresser ones but particularly with the laquers, almost choked on the smell. I picked up the VO5 extra firm hairspray from the supermarket (Priceline has this as well) and it is fabulous! Holds flyaways and my fringe and smells subtle. I even put my mother onto this one as she coughs and splutters with most hairsprays (anyone remember Cedal days!:chuckle:).

This one is under $5 for 200g and now states that it is a new formula. It also comes in "firm" hold and the nozzle never cloggs up! Certainly worth a go at this price!

Terax Crema :tears:


Why the tears M?

I am using this with the 8 random shampoos in my shower ans my hair has never been happier. Although, my headphones for my computer keep slipping off.

Sad that I have run out. It is good but now I am back onto the Alchemy Mac & Wheat & I feel it is on par.

Ah, ok. I was a wee bit :tears: when my sample died. Thankfully, the big one arrived in time for the next shower.

The Alchemy stuff just doesn't cut it for me unfortunately..............

I use the Mac and Wheat AND Terax :chuckle:

Together or alternate?

I use them together!

Sad that I have run out. It is good but now I am back onto the Alchemy Mac & Wheat & I feel it is on par.

Me too M. My hair is actually much softer with the Alchemy Mac & Wheat one.

I use them together!
Mmm? Must try that. How goes it?

I think it's fab! You often will see me at work stroking my hair and telling people how nice it feels.

I put the mac and Wheat one on first, more so on the ends, then the Terax over it, making sure I run my fingers deep through my hair, then leave it for a while as a piss fart around in the shower.

I must try this - you have the most gorgeous shiny hair!

I think it's a combination of taking care of my hair product wise but also following a healthy balanced diet - that is key, I think.

I am sure I can do that - but do I have to give up all of the good stuff? You know, chocolate, the occasional glass of red (or white)?

the occasional glass of red (or white)?

Rosie, nothing occaissional is harmful! :kissing:

I used up that last of my Terax Crema sample this morning! It was so sad!

They can be incorporated in a balance diet no problem, the key is balance and portion size. I'm a chocoholic and I manage.

I ran out of my beloved KMS curl spray this morning. WIll start on the Frederic Fekkai wave spray tomorrow

I am quite a fan of KMS curl spray too Celeste! Smells good.

Glad you like it. The FF seems good today, although has a scent similar to Issey Miyake or Oceanus - I prefer the KMS scent I think

Finally, finally finished my 900ml bottle of Tresemme conditioner. I seriously think that one lasted me at least 6 months!!

i finished my tube of sunsilk balancing conditioner , so sad
they don't make it anymore & it was THE best :shakehead:

MOP C-System Hydrating Shampoo.
http://www.adorebeauty.com.au/adorebeauty/viewitem.asp?idproduct=2741
God I loved this stuff :hearts: I only needed a little for my ton of hair, SLS free, a lovely citrus scent but best of all it made my hair feel so soft when I rinsed it. It felt like I had already conditioned! Would def repurchase but I am dying to try the new C-Curl range by MOP next.

Thats exactly how the Akin Ylang Ylang shmapoo mde my hair feel, like i only needed a tiny bit of conditioner. Loving no SLS's in my shampoo. :worship:

Well... not today, but last night I used my Terax Crema, after using up my sample I bought the biggest size and I am so glad I did! I will never go without this now. Hopefully my hair doesn't decide to get 'used' to it.

Vee, I have been using this since our Melbourne weekend, and my notoriously cranky hair hasn't 'gotten used' to it yet. I have been experimenting with mising it in with other conditioners, as I know that my hair will change in the next month or so to it's cranky, greasy hot weather presona, and am having fab results with 2/3 whatever, 1/3 Terax.

Cool, I'll keep alternating then!

i finished my herbal essences volume shampoo the other day [the newer one] it is pretty good

Today I used up my MOP Liquid Mousse. Still love it so will repurchase.

Ooooo! Kate tell me about this product. I love nearly everything I have tried from MOP. The only thing I had to surrender was the Glisten pomade but that was only because I was not keen on the smell.

Redken Velvet Gelatine, will replace 2moro, or possible replace with redken heat glide....????

I finished my Frederic Fekkai Colour Technicians Conditioner so I thought I would try the Terax Crema that was in my Adorables gift bag. I love it!!!!:glee: ( couldn't find the goodie bag thread )

I think I will buy this next C - I got the FF Glossy Shampoo and Shea Conditioner and my hair second and third day is great, but not so much when it's washed. I will still give FF a go but go for a different shampoo and conditioner

Killed off 1 of the umpty million random shampoos in the shower.

God, is it just me or does haircare take SO long to get through??!! I swear I have not properly used up any type of haircare in forever!

OK this is what I hate. A large part of the appeal of any hair product for me is smell. If it smells great, it basically sells it to me, and if it smells gross it really turns me off, even if it's a great product. Anyhoo I really love everything about Tigi Brunette Goddess, and my hair really loves it, but I hate the smell! I don't really want to repurchase because of the smell but I like purpose-made brunette products. But I hate how all brunette products have a chocolate/coffee/toffee/almond smell! I want someone to make a brunette shampoo and conditioner with a light floral or fruity fragrance. Blah.

Oz i go through shampoo and conditioner like there is no tomorrow, but thats because i have really thick, medium to long hair and also my HD recommends i do 2 shampoos and then conditioner. Your hair is alot shorter so you wouldn't need to use as much shampoo and conditioner. I know what you mean about all purpose made brunetter products are all chocolatey or toffee and just sweet smelling in a sickly way.

I'm surprised you go through it that quickly PP as from what I can tell, my hair is a lot longer than yours (very thick as well and a lot of it) and mine lasts for ages.

Yeah your hair is a lot longer than mine, but i do seem to use it up quickly. Either i use to much at one time or the type i'm using does do the trick so i have to sue more product to get a better result.

I think i probably use too much in 1 application but i just love that really rich lathering from the shampoo.

Yeah I think you are using far too much, I used to do this then had to train myself not to and I get a far better result now using less, plus I don't have to buy it as oftem, try it!

I will try it.

Loola I heard that most people use too much shampoo and that they should use less shampoo and rinse for longer. I tried doing this but do you find it difficult to get all the shampoo around your head? I mean, to spread it equally? I find that I keep adding more shampoo in order to "feel" it working! Do you just get used to no lather and no "excess"?

Yep - you adjust, but you kinda ned to retrain yourself. I only use it on my top and let it go down the rest, sometimes I will do it twice but I am still using far less than I used to.

You also then don't get little bits you can get that show in dark hair when you haven't reinsed properly or there is excess.

Ooooo! Kate tell me about this product. I love nearly everything I have tried from MOP. The only thing I had to surrender was the Glisten pomade but that was only because I was not keen on the smell.

Sorry M, only just saw your post!

I heart Liquid Mousse - it's like a very fine mist that you spray into damp hair before blowdrying. I find it gives me just enough volume and hold - I have thick hair but it tends to get heavy and flat if I don't use any product when I blowdry.

oooo this sounds intriguing , what about using it as a volumiser on fine hair , do u think it might make it go greasy ?

I like the sound of this as well! Does it smell really orangey?

oooo this sounds intriguing , what about using it as a volumiser on fine hair , do u think it might make it go greasy ?

I wouldn't have thought so, it's pretty light-textured. Lemongrass Lift is also good on fine hair.

I like the sound of this as well! Does it smell really orangey?

No not really, not like the C-System stuff does. But then I am not an especially scent-sitive ;) person when it comes to products.

Well, a couple of nights ago, I used up my Alchemy Lemongrass shampoo. So I had to go back to using Head and Shoulders for one night. Well, my scalp was not very happy with that at all!

Although the Alchemy didn't get rid of my flaky scalp completely, it did relieve the itching I had, so therefore my scalp was less irritated. But the second I went back to Head and Shoulders, I came up with these huge patches of dryness and flakiness, and they were so sore and irritated. So it's back to the Alchemy for me that's for sure!

I lurve the smell of the MOP C-system stuff.
So Kate is the Mousse is a mist not a foam? Strange. When you say blowdry do you mean straighten? I'm constantly on the hunt for curl definition products. I like my straight hair sleek I need to battle the boof. My hair doesn't need much product at all to straighten just muscle power! :chuckle:

I used up my Klorane dry shampoo. I have none left and I love this stuff and my local Priceline has sold out! :explode: Does anyone use a dry shampoo they could recommend?

Yep, mist not foam. I use it to blowdry my hair with a round brush, so yeah, technically it's straightening but with body. I've also used it after my nice sleek blowdry has been ruined by getting rained on - I just sprayed a bit of a Liquid Mousse into it and scrunched it a bit, hoping for a bed-hair/wavy effect. Worked pretty well. I don't have curls though, so can't speak for any curl definition properties!

I used up my Klorane dry shampoo. I have none left and I love this stuff and my local Priceline has sold out! :explode: Does anyone use a dry shampoo they could recommend?

One that is harder to find but also good is Batiste in the green can. Usually something that I have found in a chemist though. Priceline does not stock this one.

I used up my Klorane dry shampoo. I have none left and I love this stuff and my local Priceline has sold out! :explode: Does anyone use a dry shampoo they could recommend?

I prefer Batiste and generally use the Tropical scent one (I can hardly find the original scent anymore). The tropical smell is a bit much but it dies down after a while. I do think the Batiste is a better product because the Klorane dries out my hair a bit and makes it feel yucky.

Schwarzkopf Leave In Conditioner. Am getting a bit over leave-in's, they leave my hair 'scrunchy/crackly' when they dry!

how different is this to dry shampoo Oz ?

What da F is that shizzo homie?

It's completely different to dry shampoo Fuss, it's almost like the opposite. It's a light spray-on oil that you spray onto the midlengths and ends of the hair and leave for a few mins (it says 10 but I massage it in for about 3) before you shampoo. It just gives your hair an extra layer of protection and nourishment so you don't shampoo the crap out of it. I love it. Its main ingredients are like grapeseed oil and sesame oil so I could probably buy a spray-on kitchen oil to do the same thing! :chuckle:
