I can't believe we didn't already have this thread?? :rollthoseeyes:

Well DJs had a 50% off sale on the Charles Worthington range today so I just had to get some. I have never tried this range before. Any comments?

Moisture-Seal Leave-in Conditioner.
Stay Smooth Frizz-taming Serum
Takeaways Shine On, Body-booster & Shine Mousse
Dream Hair Voluptuous Curls Defining Spray

Nice score M.

I have the shine-on and the Dream Hair Flawless Finish Straightening Balm. Like them both, especially the balm - great results, shiny and super-straight hair.

Haven't had any luck with the shampoos + conditioners though, they gave me a really dry scalp :shakehead:

sorry M can only give a nod to the volume range , it is very good & even better for 1/2 price

M I've often bought the little take-aways when I've been going away for a week, and I really liked them! I used the ones in the yellow bottles, I think they were a shine one for normal hair. Lovely!

I also have a few Charles Worthington styling products which are good!

I got Kerastase Oleo Relax serum which goes perfectly with the Kerastase Therma Ciment stuff in the green tube that smells DIVINE!!!! :clapping:

Well I've just put my order in today and going to try Terax hair treatment, Terax life drops and MOP Greens shampoo and conditioner. Thought I might have a change, have been using Kusco Murphy and after reading the adores forum on what other people have been using, thought I might have a change.

i also scored some charles worthington today , i was restrained though , just 2 hairsprays , one for home , one for travel , nearly got some shampoo & cond but have started to stockpile again :whistle: so i had better be good


oops i forgot i bought some Jurlique lavender shamp/cond as well [mum for b'day] everything of theirs was 30% off

Topped up on the Frederic Fekkai Technician's Gloss.

Cannot believe how fast I received my products from Adore. I got them TODAY!!!!
Cannot wait now to do my hair!!!! Thankyou Adore :clapping:

I bought today

KMS Heat Curling Spray Stuff
PPS Blonde As Treatment
:glee:

LouLou - let me know how you go with the Terax as I think I will be grabbing it too!

Loolabelle I will let you know, am going to do my hair on the weekend for a party on Sunday.
So excited, cannot wait to use the products.

I just got Cowshed shampoo and conditioner in the small sizes to see if I like them!

got living nature balancing shampoo and nourishing conditioner today - i haven't tried anything from this brand before, but wanted to try something SLS free because my scalp isn't happy with my current shampoo

I just bought Terax Hair Crema and cna't wait to try it!! :penguin:

I got a mini twin pack of Pantene from the $2 shop for our weekend in Melbourne.

I was far more impressed with these than giovanni ... (some sls free shampoo/conditioner ... havent worked very well for me! ...)

I have used both new and old formulas of these 2 brands and I loved living natures old version of the balancing shampoo and the conditioner, Not sure about the new though, I have used them but my hair didn't feel as good!... I had nothing but grief from giovanni, gave it to my dad to use on his hair.

you'll find with living nature, your scalp will get better in a few days, it does a job that way!

:waving:

i'm still trying to get the hang of the shampoo as i have a lot of hair - so its hard to tell when i have got it through all my hair! the nourishing conditioner is nice. & i actually like how my hair smells after using them

once i am through these i would like to try some other SLS free shampoos & conditioners to see which works best for me - what others would you recommend trying?

Ladyver, don't let this concern you. Hairdressers will actually tell you to concentrate your shampoo on the scalp area to cleanse oils and product and not carry it further down your hair length. When you rinse your shampoo, this residue, as it travels down the length, is enough to actually cleanse the lengths of it.

I personally didn't have much success with Alchemy, although it seems to be a popular brand on this forum. I've tried all kinds of shampoos and conditioners. The brands included natural instinct, eco store, giovanni, and natures way or gate.... can't remember exactly!... but none of these brands I've stuck with. I had considered trying MOP but its not cheap in NZ. I'm trying to buy locally these days to lower my eco-foot print!. Trilogy released new shampoos and conditioners about 2 months ago, so theyre another alternative to try.

At the moment I am using lush sylvia cynthia stout shampoo and veganese conditioner, my hair is in wonderful condition, so soft, shiney, healthy with volume, my hair feels good, and I can get away with only washing every 2 or 3 days.... However the shampoo and conditioner have SLS and parabens in them! (that doesn't make me very happy :shakehead: )...

I have fine hair but lots of it, I hate washing my hair ... I am so lazy with my hair so I always look for low maintainence products that I can use. I look for a thorough shampoo which is good on my scalp, and a light conditioner that treats the ends of my hair. I don't use any other products, I let my hair dry on its own.


products to consider, next time round:

I've never used dr hauschka products for hair before? what has been other peoples experiences with the hair care products...

If you don't mind using more commercial brands then I've tried lots but KMS an De Lorenzo are 2 of the better brands....

I just got Cowshed shampoo and conditioner in the small sizes to see if I like them!

I want to get Cowshed purely for the names! :chuckle:

No shampoo's? :whistle: ...

hi Alice & Luisa, :waving:

a late thank you for your feedback! i'm not living at home while my bathroom gets renovated so its been difficult to get on the net.

i have been sticking with the living nature and things are improving! i also got my hair cut a bit shorter with heaps of layers - that and luisa's advice have really helped with the shampooing thing

i tried the Dr H conditioner, i wasn't overly excited with the results, but then, i was using it with the concentrate shampoo that caused all the trouble -

No shampoo's? :whistle: ...


lol I have THREE half-empty antidandruff shampoos which I'm trying to finish PLUS one of those sunsilk designer range shampoos (Akira) because I got sucked in by the pretty packaging ... because I'm dying to use my Alchemy Lavender shampoo EVERY SINGLE WASH!!!! ARGH how I hate those dreaded half empty bottles!!!

The conditioners are sooooooo lovely! The Trilogy Smooth Shine did leave my frizzy hair pretty smooth and it smells so divine (like marshmallows!). I used the Trilogy Moisturising Conditioner & Masque on my VERY FIRST PRODUCT FREE DAY lol (that was weird because I'm so used to putting so much product into my hair post-wash that it felt so weird to just do the moisturising conditioner & mask then leave it ... ok I lie, I added a leave in moisturiser as well, but it's a scary thought to have absolutely nothing in my hair). Aaannnndd Alchemy Wheat & Macadamia (which smells like porridge...but in a good way...) felt sooooo soft, I just love it...

...now there's just a struggle every time I go to wash my hair to decide which one I want to use...:whistle:

lol I have THREE half-empty antidandruff shampoos which I'm trying to finish

My hubby beats you honey, he has 5! He was trying to find the perfect anti-dandruff shampoo. He has now given up, and decided that if he uses a different one every time, it works better.

Since I started paying something that resembles attetnion (it's dandruff, and it's not mine, how much attention should I pay?!) it seems he is right.:shakehead:

Have decided to give the new Trilogy hair range a whirl...
Bought Trilogy Smooth Shine Shampoo & Conditioner.
Can't wait to try them. :penguin:

F. Fekkai shine spray, protein leave in spray and mask and glossing styling creme :clapping: these are such GREAT products, and my hair is so much healthier I cant believe they make the difference they do!

Oooh, I've been wanting to try his stuff! I am especially interested in the S & C and the curl stuff.

They are so worth it loolabelle, I have thin, coloured, long hair and gets damaged no matter what i do, and its sooo much healthier now. And did i mention shiny shiny? hehe:rollthoseeyes:

didn't know which alchemy shampoo to choose so I bought another lush cynthia sylvia stout shampoo - I bought it from the despatch office where all the mail orders go from and I scored some awesome samples solid shampoo - the coconut one.... forgotten the name! and full sized shampoo 100g I love juicy!.

I bought Matrix Reflective Shine Spray - I've found that now I have begun to use a couple of products in my hair, it's not as shiny as it used to be - time for some shine enhancement...:chuckle:

Bought Kevin Murphy Easy Rider today. It'a full of natural ingredients and smells am-a-zing. You can scrunch it into your hair wet or dry to activate the natural wave/curl in your hair, or smooth it thru your hair before styling to protect it.

i got 2 more klorane dry shampoos , bloody priceline jacked up the price :clap: :clap: & while i was there i saw & got a small / travel size of the John Frieda blonde [ & also in the brunette shampoo] for $2.50 :whipcrack:

Just got -

Kerastase Oleo-Relax
Kerastase Ciment Thermique
Kerastase Lumiere Nutri Sculpt

Keen to hear your full review after using the Easy rider for a while.

Didn't actually buy product, but attending my new hairdresser today they gave me a goodie bag as it was my first visit. It contained the Redkin Body Full Shampoo, Conditioner & Weightlifter together with a pack of M&M's.:penguin:

C - what hairdresser are you going to now? I'm on the look out for one in Melbourne.

wow, that's so generous!

Tremayne in Toorak Village. I found them to be wonderful. They are a bit Exxy (probably because of the bells & whistles). But you also receive a card like a coffee card that entitles you to a free cut after each 10. It cost $85.00 for my wash, treatment, cut & blowdry. I was paying $40 but became unhappy.

Oh I think I went there when I used to live in Toorak...! There is no such thing as exxy for me when it comes to haircare!

I normally get charged more anyway as my hair is long and thick.

Thanks god I am in this thread and bought hair products - I just remembered I booked in for a cut tonight!

Oooh where are you getting it? Raw Element?!

No - the one at the bottom of the building - I tried to go to Raw Element but was appalled by the phone service I received from them.

Today I got a great little RPR travel pack from Hairhouse Warehouse.
It contains 50ml sizes in
Hydrating Shampoo with
Hydrating Conditioner
Vitaliser, leave in conditioner with UV protection
De-Clorinate, shampoo treatment to remove chlorine
all for only $12.95! :penguin:

Has anyone tried these before?
Might have to go back for more, would make a great gift. :reindeer:

I was SO GOOD and refrained from purchasing any hair stuff last night, although I was close to buying the entire Kerastase Oleo-Curl range. I decided to see how I go styling it myself, and if I couldn't, I would then buy it. But so far, so good!!

So what products do you currently use for your curls????

I've just been using KMS shampoo (finishing off the Colour Care one) and SIlk & Shine or whatever KMS conditioner, then I spray KMS Curl Heat Activated Spray into it. The hairdresser gave me some clips to use to add body to the curls so I used those and gave my hair a quick dry down with the dryer, took the clips out and put a bit of Kusco Murphy lavender cream through it to add shape and a bit of texture

How's your hair Celeste? Do you have a picture?

Not much of it! I like it. No pic yet, but I will try and get some tonight and put them on Facebook... it is different!!!

Oh yeah that's right, so you've had your chop Celeste?

So do you apply the Lavender cream to dry hair? Celeste - I am using the sample you gave me today but ran it thru my hair whilst wet. It has dried naturally. It is still a bit frizzy though.

garnier shampoo and conditioner. just used them and my feels lovely. soft, light - not weighed down, nothing worse than having washed my hair and it look like an oil slick within a couple of hours!

I bought the Paul Mitchell pack. It has a shampoo, conditioner and a root booster in it. I was sick of the Matrix shampoo and Alchemy conditioner (it's gone to the back of the cupboard for a change again in a month or so).

I bought the extra body ones but there were several packs (Hairhouse Warehouse). I just washed my hair (coz I could) and I really like them. Not too perfumed so the smell shouldn't get in the way of my perfume. My hair feels lovely & soft.

Agree, Paul Mitchell stuff is great! Some good styling products in the range too.

Just bought the Terax from ADore.

Skipped the rest, my Mum has enough for Christmas, I went through my Box of Tricks, and I have her Christmas present already. She can have an OPI birthday.

I just received my Fekkai Luscious Curls Wave Spray... cannot wait to try it out tomorrow!!

I am bored as well! I can't believe how slow this day is going!!! :yawn:

Argh I know, bring on 5.30!

Ohhh let me know how you go celeste, I was thinking of buying that one recently but wasnt sure if it would work for my hair, as Ive bought a sea spray which did nothing, and since I have straight hair who knows if it would help....

I bought the lavendar cream not long ago and its making my hair more frizzier than normal.. I have been applying a small amount to my dry hair, not sure if I'm doing it correctly or not, also disappointed in the Kevin Murphy Easy Rider and it makes my hair feel stiff, didn't really do anything for my curls either. I hate it when I buy products and they don't suit my hair. Oh well! :spin:

Ohhh let me know how you go celeste, I was thinking of buying that one recently but wasnt sure if it would work for my hair, as Ive bought a sea spray which did nothing, and since I have straight hair who knows if it would help....

Serena if you have straight hair, I don't think any curly-hair product will curl your hair. You need to have some body already for those. Perhaps if you curl your hair they would work to make it less frizzy or hold the style or keep it nice, but there are no products that will transform straight hair to curly... like straightening products, they work in conjunction with a blow-dry or good hair straightening

I am slowly (verrrrrrrry slowly) accepting that my hair will never hold a curl :tears: for more than 5 minutes. I will embrace the straight - one day!:reindeer:

And yet I hoped :ashamed: Thnx celeste! :)

And yet I hoped :ashamed: Thnx celeste! :)

Sorry Serena!!!

Tonight i'm buying a PPS shampoo and conditioner for my highlighted hair.

I got the 500ml tub of Terax Crema.

Reniu Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner (Tiare infusion)

its BEAUTIFUL!!!

stocked up on Fre shampoo and conditioner today at priceline which had two for 1 packs - plus 20% off hair products - bargain!!

They are great shampoos ladyver. Medusa have you tried these? They dont have any of the nasties in them but they can be hard to find. The are put out by the Chemcare (as in NS product) people.

Fre? never heard of it?
Is there a website?

I cant find anything on them Medusa. Ladyver is there a webstite perhaps on the bottle?

i have tried googling Fre a couple of times - but nothing comes up - i've now found them in a couple of priceline stores, but they are usually at the end of a row, down the bottom shelf

the list of things they say ther are free from: SLS, parabens, silicones, ethosyates, propylene glycol, petroleum, mineral oil, phthalates, artifical colours, harsh chemicals

i have been using the rejuvenating pack and have found the shampoo to foam enough to get through my thick hair, gentle on my scalp and they leave my hair feeling soft

oh, i have also tried plunkett pharmaceuticals which is the manufacturer or distributor - but no luck there either

Thanks for checking ladyver. I remember they had a delicious crisp apple scent.

Medusa, you should hunt in your local pharmacy too, they may be able to order it in for you.

the list of things they say ther are free from: SLS, parabens, silicones, ethosyates, propylene glycol, petroleum, mineral oil, phthalates, artifical colours, harsh chemicals
Sounds gooood.

Will keep it in mind but after my stocktake today I think it will be a while before I need to purchase any more shampoo & conditioner. :whistle:

yep, i know what you mean, i am good for s & c for at leas a couple of months now!

Bought an Alchemy Pack (Ylang Ylang shampoo 500 ml + Avocado Conditioner 225 ml, thats the combo I normally use) for 22 Dollars. Pretty good value.

Sunsilk Texturising Spray. Gives me wicked beachy messy waves

I got a sunsilk mask and new shampoo :)

Bought an Alchemy Pack (Ylang Ylang shampoo 500 ml + Avocado Conditioner 225 ml, thats the combo I normally use) for 22 Dollars. Pretty good value.

Ohhh let me know what the ylang ylang shampoos like Isabella, i almost brought this today, i love the alchemy conditioners. I think if a shampoos free from SLS's its gotta b better for preserving your colour right?

some head bands from priceline

thats hair care right? :chuckle:

Precious Star I have been using the ylang ylang shampoo for months and I really like it. It seems to preserve the colour well and the smell is alright too. My hair likes it better than the Mop C . I do have very thick hair though.
:waving:

Redken Butter Treatment and a RPR travel pack from Hairhouse Warehouse. The travel pack was 12.95. I think Medusa mentioned it a while ago.

I bought a 500ml Terax Crema yesterday. WooHoo!

I often stare at this lovingly during my showers, and longingly when I'm not washing my hair, Vee.

Last week I bought Federik Fekkai Glossin Shampoo and Shea Cream conditioner.

I bought John Frida heat protector today :)

I bought Pantene Brunette Expressions Conditioner (don't shoot me please :chuckle: ) On special from Coles for 4.99!

I got Kerastase Choma Reflect Shampoo & Conditoner (the pink range)

I must admit I never spend a lot of money on haircare and don't really do the whole weekly treatment thing. Do you think it really makes a big difference? I think I spend so much time worrying about my skin I don't bother with my hair!

I must admit I never spend a lot of money on haircare and don't really do the whole weekly treatment thing. Do you think it really makes a big difference? I think I spend so much time worrying about my skin I don't bother with my hair!

I think it probably depends on the condition, and your diet too. If it's in good nick you probably don't need to worry, but it definitely makes a difference to mine (stupid thin stress hair!). You can get some really good treatments and sachets in Priceline for a few bucks, it's a good way to try and see if it makes a difference...? Or you could go the natural route, maybe olive oil or eggs (for protein) or something like that? I think we have a couple of threads on natural beauty/hair stuff, might be worth a look.

Oh let me know how you like those loolabelle! :typing:

Alfaparf Cristalli Illuminating Moulding Mousse
Alfaparf Sublime Sorbet Voluptuous Curl Definition

Newbies I have not tried before. I have the gel in this brand. They were only $10 each! I saved $27 :glee:

oh M... i almost forgot that despite all my bottles of Fre S & C i got in the post-xmas sales, i found these giant bottles of the tigi superstar (sulphate free) S & C on sale last weekend... so of course i made a purchase :whistle:

i tried it out this morning and OMG i can't believe the foaming action for a product with no SLS

Oh! :penguin: I so want to try that one. Where did you get it on sale at? Its a newish release so I am surprised that is would be reduced.

The GHD arrived yesterday so I had a play with it last night. Damn those waves are harder to do than they looked when the hairdresser did them :chuckle: thank god for the instructional DVD that came with the GHD. I need more practice I think!

Oh, same! My hairdresser practically did ringlets and when I tried it, got kinks. It's the way you twist it initially I think, then slowly pull back like you're curling a ribbon. Also important to curl each in a different direction, so it doesn't look too prom.

That being said, man do I love my ghd....

Sunsilk Shampoo & Conditioner

Yesterday I bought:

Twin Turbo Hairdryer
Mimco Headband

Yesterday I bought a tube of md marc daniels "Go Straight and Shiny" serum. It's in a bright green little tube and is in a range of other things like "Big Hair" and "Go Curly", that type of thing. They're all packaged in bright colours and are pretty cheap. I got it at Priceline.

Anyway I say all this cos THIS PRODUCT IS FAB!! It's weightless and silicon-free. I thought I had overdone it for a second but it doesn't go greasy, it's a very light watery consistency but still gives serum-like results. You're meant to apply it to damp hair but I smoothed it over my hair when it was dried and straightened and it looks very good. Supposedly it prevents frizz even in humid climates - we'll see, I'll report back later in the day when I've gone outside a bit. Still, I really like it so far!!

I buy the MD Big Hair sea salt spray which is really cheap and I love it. I love cheap effective things!!

Oh I'll have to look out for it, I LOVE sea salt spray of any kind! I have the KMS one and the John Frieda one, I didn't know MD had one - will look for it!

i have never got the hang of sea sprays , they always look crap in my hair :shakehead:

They look crap in my hair too unless I've done a bit of a curl first! And of course I am unco at curls, hence why I have had the same bottles of sea spray for like three years...

Today I bought L'oreal Vitamino Colour shampoo + conditioner, and a massive can of Final Net hair spray ($8, bargain!).

Is that still around? I remember when I was a kid (so 6-14,cause that's when we lived there) the lady over the road had permanent '50's hair, and she used that.

It surely is!

Does it still offer not-even-a-gale-will-move-this-hair hold?

It surely does!

Ha ha! That stuff (particularly the smell) reminds me of my disco days where the laquer almost put a permanent shine on the bathroom walls. Disco gals would also carry this (yes the enormous can!) in their bags.

A friend of mine still carries a giant can of hairspray/lacquer in hre bag everywhere. When I am out with her her, be it shopping or whatever, I go to the bathroom first, cause I don't want to be fumigated. She uses a giant can a fortnight.

Oh I have a funny love/hate relationship with the smell of old-school hairspray!! Hate because it reminds me of when I was little and my mummy would leave me to go out at night, and love because I used to use my mum's when I started going to the races by myself as a teenager. I felt very grown-up! :chuckle:

Sukin Shampoo and conditioner $9.98 each. I couldn't afford to buy any salon products and have just hated using the supermarket shampoo and conditioner I have at the moment. Not that I had much luck sampling in the past some of Sukin's skincare but the lady in organics store said this is great!... they've had some really positive feedback. In the next couple of weeks I would like to buy A'kins - vitamin masque? for hair.

well not today but last week I pruchased a 1litre bottle of Tigi Dumb Blonde shampoo and Conditioner. Got both for under $60

Natural Instincts Shampoo 1L

klorane dry shampoo [how did i survive b4 this stuff :shakehead:]
goldwell hair lacquer [in a MASSIVE bottle] twits have changed the packaging , do u think i could remember which one i got last time :redcheeks:
KMS paste up spray [my HG ]

gold hair elastics for Miss 5 for school

klorane dry shampoo [how gig i survive b4 this stuff :shakehead:]


I agree! It's so awesome that I can go so much without doing the whole wash and blow dry thing!

Terax crema and latte shampoo

KMS paste up spray [my HG ]

What does this one do fuss? Is it like a liquid gel?

What does this one do fuss? Is it like a liquid gel?

no it's a wax spray , weird stuff , it gives me heaps of volume & hold ,& not greasy , but it is quite sticky , it took me ages to get used to it .i have been using it on & off for years but wouldn't be without it now

I need to find something new for my fringe. I have been using a CW styling spray (in the purple spray bottle) but am looking for a change. Doesnt need to be a mega-hold product.

I need something with hold for when I flick it back and a "cuticle smoother" for when I wear it down.

Any suggestions guys?

I didnt buy, but my gorgeous boss bought me a DNA rebuild treatment. They sell it at the hairdressers we both go to, and I wanted some when I went last week but they were sold out.

She went last night and remembered i loved it and bought it for me. Shes so cute

Its such a good treatment and smells like chocolate

OMG that is so sweet
mmmmmmmmmm chocolate

Huge size PPS colourwear shampoo and conditioner in the pump bottles with a shower caddy thing.

I had a look at a few products yesterday, most that sounded ok had a fair whack of silicone and were in a serum form. All I wanted was something to smooth down the cuticle as the hairdresser suggested. Garnier had one that sounded great called "Smoothing Milk" but whoa, the small had me putting it back on the shelf! Ended up picking up the newish Loreal gloss in the pink container. Let me know if anyone has tried this. Will primarily only be using on my fringe.

I suggest De Lorenzo's Rejuvin8 the ends for smoothing Luisa. It contains Billberry and Blackberry and is a cream. I use it everyday and it's great for smoothing and doesn't have that silicon stickyness that a lot of smoothing products have. It completely smooths and defirizzes. The scent is gorgeous but doesn't last once you get in the hair.

They say it's for the ends but I use it everywhere. I think this would be perfect for you if you don't like the serums much.

I have that in my cupboard PCC! I thought it was only for the ends! I agree, serums not for me either. Ooh, dilemma, use the new Loreal Gloss or Reguvin8?;) BTW, the loreal gloss is actually a cream.

Get it out and give it a burl. Thanks for the L'Oreal tip.

Will try the loreal gloss today and let you know what it's like. Will use it all over including my fringe.:waving:

Redken All Soft. I brought it for my bf.

Does anyone know if you can over do protein treatments in the hair? What happens if you use it too much?

I just had the funniest image of your hair looking like 2 steaks flopped over your head.

MOP Basil Mint shampoo
MOP Mixed Greens conditioner
MOP C-system Clean Shampoo
MOP C-system Hydrating Shampoo
MOP C-system Hydrating Conditioner
MOP C-system Texture Lotion
MOP C-system Conditioning Mist
MOP Extreme Protein Treatment

C-system is awesome for keeping my natural auburn locks super bright and clean, not ruddy!!:worship:

I just had the funniest image of your hair looking like 2 steaks flopped over your head.

:chuckle:

Hi Ranga, :waving:
Good haul. I love MOP C-system too.
Can I ask why you got so may shampoos & conditioners all at once?

Been wanting to try MOP C-System. Let me know what you think Ranga :waving:

Does anyone know if you can over do protein treatments in the hair? What happens if you use it too much?

When I use protein treatments too much my hair goes a bit straw-ish. It's really super-important to use protein AND moisture treatments in conjunction - protein to build the hair back up and moisture to keep it soft, strong and flexible.

:waving:Hi Medusa,
I am working in the remote NW of oz, and it takes around a week to get products, so I buy alot at once normally. That haul would last around 4-5 months.
My hair is also strange as its not oily, but not normal so I find if I use alternate between the C-system Clean shampoo and the C-system Hydrating shampoo (with just the same hydrating conditioner) my hair really likes it.
The MOP Mixed Greens conditioner and Basil shampoo i will use If I know I'm not going to do my hair properly or if I have come back from the beach, and my hair only needs a 'mini' wash (if that makes sense!). it is just a little more cost effective than the MOP C-system products.

Hi Angela Leigh, :waving:
Finding the MOP C-system really good for my hair. it doesn't seem to get the build up I normally get from products, and it makes the my hair colour what it should be. I would recommend it for natural or dyed redheads, the colour seems to stay very true, and not wash out like with other products.
MOP C-system Texture lotion is great, even for long hair (which I have). it is awesome for when you have just washed you hair, but you need to put it in a pony, and it is just 'too clean'. Whack some of the Texture lotion through, then I spray with the Conditioning Mist (which has light hold) and my pony looks super neat and shiny.
I also get the an itchy scalp. The MOP C-system seems to have cleared that up really well. Maybe it was the LSL that was driving my scalp bonkers!!

This has to be the best value, jojoba oil!! About 10 drops mixed through my conditoner bottle. My hair feels and looks celebrity standard.

Great tip Spanish!

BTW, welcome to the forum!:waving:

Yesterday - John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock leave-on perfecting glosser. Tried it out on my static-crazy hair this morning, did a lovely job of smoothing it down.

Charles Worthington mousse - one of the mini 'takeaways'...

...and a large round ceramic brush.

Is the gloss like a Serum or a leave in cream RB?

As I have a new "Do" I of course NEED new hair gear :whistle: Starting out with some new tools so hit Priceline and got
Salon Tech small styling radial (barrel brush) with a ceremic core to train my new fringe.
Vidal Sassoon ceramic straightener. This was on special for only $25 :clapping: and it is really compact for travel. My Muster is way too big to take away with me. It looks good - swivel cord, 200 degree heat, rounded edges for curling. Hope it works well.

It's more of a serum. My hair feels very nice today :clapping:

More of Joico Smoothing blowdry cream. Cant remember if i mentioned John Freida brillent brunette volumising mousse, great product!

Got an Adore order yesterday containing MOP C-System Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner as well as a MOP Protein Treatment. Can't wait to try it all out :glee:

Oooooo! :penguin: I love MOP. Let me know how you find the treatment, I haven't tried this one.

Hi M!

When the hairdresser blowdried my fringe she used an enormous paddle brush and just brushed it down after applying a smoothing cream. I must admit, I have only worn my hair a couple of times with the fringe down....:redcheeks:

Can you please give us a review on the VS straightener? Have been contemplating a GHD one.;)

Oh saph, these are all HGs for me! Good shopping!

Thanks VeeE - I must admit my hair is very excited ;)

OMG LB u must wear your fringe down more often , it looks amazing :whipcrack:

Hey thanks fuss!:hugs: Still cant quite get used to the hair on my face though!:rollthoseeyes:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!:penguin::penguin:

Went to Priceline to check out Medusa's new VS straightener. They also had the Titanium Ceramic version which heats up in 30 seconds and has ten heat settings, mat - everything that the GHD I was looking at. I thought for $37 (!!!!) on sale from $46 it would be worth a go.

Well, have just tried it out, started using it within seconds and it is the bomb! Only thing I dont like is I had to keep my fingers away from the on/off switch but it has velvetty covered bits on top of the straightening part which you can hang on to. Within seconds I was done and it looks SO sleek.

So...... with the $$$ I am saving I am hopping down to Adore to get the new Clarins cleanser and the Alpha H Age Delay!:glee:

Woo hoo! The bargain queen strikes again, to the benefit of all Adorables!

Great purchasing LB :penguin:

That's awesome Luisa! Yeah there really are some great cheaper straighteners out there. It has more to do with your technique I think! Having said that I still long for a GHD. :whistle:

I know, I have wanted one too but thought for $36.50 I couldnt do much wrong and it seems to have all the features of the GHD. I think if I spent a few moments more it would be an even better result but I am ecstatic!

Good to hear, I need a new small straightener just for my bangs. Will check it out

DJ's had cute little boxes from the Brunettes range of John Frieda on sale. The original price was very fair at $14.95 but these were reduced to $8 on sale.

It contained:

Shampoo 50ml tube
Conditioner 50ml tube
Shine Shock glosser 25ml tube
Fixing Shine Max hold Hair Spray 50ml can and
Sachet of Shine Release Intense Conditioner.

Saving these for Sydney trip!:glee:

Great score LB!

Recently i bought Klorane dry shampoo, i've heard raves about this stuff for sooo long, was just waiting for it to go on sale :)

Also bought a hair brush. I've been using mine for wayyyy too long (btw, how often should we be buying new hair brushes??)

I am at Priceline weekly and have never seen the Klorance on sale unfortunately.

I replace hairbrushes when

- the little nodes on the bristles start coming off
- the bristles are warped
- when it just doesnt feel right when I brush my hair
- when the handle breaks.

Well go grab it on sale now! $8.95 til March 31st. Also i've noticed it sells out fast at normal Priceline, even when it's not on sale- try Priceline Pharmacy :)

Also my brush is quite old, the only thing wrong about it is that the cushion part pops out of the plastic sometimes, and i have to pop it back in t o use it... i should admit... it's 5 years old, possibly more *hides*

I knew i needed a new brush but kept putting it off, so as soon as my pay came in i bought a new one lol... talk about procrastination!!

geez my brush is way older than that :rollthoseeyes:

So's mine!

Hey thanks fuss!:hugs: Still cant quite get used to the hair on my face though!:rollthoseeyes:
Tell me about. I find that my new fringe is making my forehead itchy! :chuckle: I am still working out to do my new hair, practise, practise. One thing I have noticed it that I have to wash my hair more regularly because my fringe looks dirty. The rest of my hair is fine but how do you only wash a fringe? I'm not using any product in it. Was wondering if I should get a dry shampoo? Is this OK for dark hair?

LB - My new straightener is good but I got the tiny one for travel. It heats up really fast and is easy to use. I have been using it mostly on my fringe and my big Muster on the rest of my hair as this has bigger plates. For the price I'm very happy with it.

M, if you work out how to just was the fringe let me know. I can put the rest up if it's a bit sad, but passable, but the fringe is a right pain!:shakehead:

Medusa
i have always had to wash my fringe everyday as it would get way too greasy otherwise , i actually use a foaming facial cleanser i don't use on my face any longer or just shampoo , mighty hard to do it "right"

though since finding out dry shampoo is the bomb i no longer worry ,
now that i am darker i have to use less of it & brush like mad ;)

yesterday I bought a value pack of Alchemy Jojoba Shampoo and Avocado & Calendula conditioner for $39 :clapping:

Great saving there Jaime. Have you used these before?

nope not yet. Going to wait until my current shampoo and conditioner runs out

You will enjoy these two, they are suited to most hair types. The conditioner smells delish!

oooh goody. Wasn't my first pick of conditioner, but I really wanted that shampoo and that was the best combo I could pick ;)

Kiehls shampoo, conditioner and straightening balm. Can't wait to try it all out!!

Today I'm am going to use the Nashi No.4 Conditioner by Landoll. Will keep you posted as to how it feels afterwards.It is for over treated and dry hair.

Kerastase Bain Satin
Kerastase Lait Vital
Kerastase Chroma Protect Leave In

Kerastase Bain Satin

My favourite Kerastase!

Please let me know how you go with the Chroma Leave-in....

I am not really a hair care guru, so I need advice. I want a product that will makemy hair a little 'messy' looking,but with a bit of hold. Suggestions? Medusa?

Tigi Super Star Leave in Conditoner
TIGI Super Star Blow Dry Lotion
Tigi Small Talk - Volumiser

Love Tigi! Haven't tried these ones though. What's the volumiser like PCC, effective?

Please let me know how you go with the Chroma Leave-in....

My hair felt amazing afterwards and also the next day. My hairdresser also put in this new line from Kerastase in a dark blue packaging, it was like a night cream for hair, you could say. My hair the next day looked like I had just washed and styled it.

I am not really a hair care guru, so I need advice. I want a product that will makemy hair a little 'messy' looking,but with a bit of hold. Suggestions? Medusa?

Messy as in wavy, or curly. or that slightly mess JBF look V? I can't wait to see your Va Va VOooOOooM Hair!

I just want a bit messy- like a bit peicy at the ends. I suppose JFB would be the way to describe it!

Probably something with a bit of texture then - Kusco Murphy Beach Hair works wonders. I use a Kerastase finishing cream on top of this as well, but find something with some texture needs it to have any kind of hold and "look".

What else is good is John Frieda Ocean Waves spray, this works great.

Thanks babe!

When I stop looking like Shrek I will post my hair when it's wavy to see if thats the look and products you may be after.

The Texture Spray is good too but is a bit hard to brush out.

Like all the C-System range they smell fresh & citrusy.

Cool, thanks M. I like the sound of the 2nd one as it has colour protector in it. I would hate for my hair to go brassy.

a couple of days ago I was in QVB's Peter Alexander and there was these funky packaged conditioners that were originally 23 bux and got them for TWO BUX!! Let's just say I got rid of handfuls of change!

I asked the SA and she said they are clearing them out and nobody is purchasing them because they are hidden in a dusty corner. Smells like mint in the bottle but I just used it and my hair smells like very fragrant milk chocolate!

The MOP C-System Spray Pomade sounds awesome, must stick it on my wishlist. Am loving MOP's Lemongrass Shampoo and Conditioner at the moment.

Actually after just reading them both I kinda don't know what the difference is :rollthoseeyes::redcheeks:

I will be buying something to kill head lice. My mum thinks i have them. I'm very angry/upset because i have 2 pillowcases i wash frequently and swap over, and don't want to alarm my friends by asking them if i've somehow managed to get it from someone near me :(

Oh dear. Have you been around kids? Young kids always get them.
Get the lice shampoo but it will only kill the nits not the eggs. You need to get someone (mum?) to go right thru your hair and strip any eggs, strand by strand. If you miss even one it will hatch within 7 days and a single nit can lay hundreds of eggs within days. You really need to get on top of it fast. Good luck.

If you miss even one it will hatch within 7 days and a single nit can lay hundreds of eggs within days.

Thats really gross. I feel all itchy now :no: :vomit:

I heard a tip about Nits. If you colour your hair the nits can't attach their eggs to the hair shaft due to the coating on the strand. Not sure if this is true but I think the theory sounds good.

Well i done a double attack on it yesterday.

Slathered my hair in conditioner, pu t on a tight cap, and slept in it all night. Apparently normal conditioner does the trick well.

In the morning i washed it out, combed through my hair (as much as i could + had time to)

Then blowdried on highest setting, as i head they can't stand heat.

My mum checked my hair and said most of it's gone, that she couldn't see anything much there, just some dandruff.

I'm going to repeat this next week, as well as go to my doctor for a referral to a dermatologist, because i have other unrelated scalp and skin issues i need to resolve anyways... (also silly side note, i'm excited about seeing a dermatologist, i've always wanted to go to one wince i was younger because i've always had crappy skin!!)

Bought a Delorenzo Resorb mini shampoo today for my fringe, looking forward to trying it out. :clapping:

Am loving MOP's Lemongrass Shampoo and Conditioner at the moment.

The Lemongrass is my fave MOP shampoo. I got the Mixed Greens one the other day with the freebie intense conditioner. Will try soon. Anyone else used the Mixed Greens?

Hope all goes well with your hair Lipglossaddict! I've always just used my sisters product, as my cousin is a hairdresser and gets it cheap at this warehouse place! yey

Today I'm am going to use the Nashi No.4 Conditioner by Landoll. Will keep you posted as to how it feels afterwards.It is for over treated and dry hair.
Apologies for late review.
Meh it was alright but probably more suited to persons with only slightly dry hair. If you find some conditioners tend to weigh your hair down this would suit but I need heavy duty stuff to make my hair smooth so I think I'll stick to the Biolage for dry and damaged, alternating with Sleek Look.( Both by Matrix)
I like to try new conditioners, especially if it works and I get a change of fragrance as well. I get bored easily- hence the 100+ fragrances.( PCC when did you last count yours??):chuckle::chuckle:

There was a clearance in the supermarket on leftover hair colours.
Got these for about $5 each, I think that was around $9 off?
Schwarzkopf Live Brilliance in Fawn Brown & Warm Red Brown.

Paul Mitchell Seal & Shine :hearts:

Redken Clarifying Shampoo (it's called something else, but it's in a white bottle)

I was going to buy the Joico K-Pak today but came across two forms of intensive conditioner. As I have not used this since the packaging changed, I am unsure of which one to get. There was the shampoo and conditioner, then they had two different tubes of intensive conditioner, one tall, one quite small. The small one says to leave in for 5 mins, the bigger one says 3-5 minutes. What's the difference guys?:rollthoseeyes:

Maybe the small one is like a mask thing?

They both had the word intensive but yeah, I would presume the smaller one would be more concentrated. Think they were the same price??

How much are the packs LB?

$24.95. They used to also make this in sachets but couldn't see any.

Today at Priceline (on special) I got the Sunsilk Fashion Designers range shampoo by Akira and the conditioner by Collette Dinnigan and they smell sooo divine, especially the pink CD conditioner, ... & the beauty obsessed freak that I am, I am really hanging out to use it tomorrow morning... will report back on how they are... :rollthoseeyes::typing::chuckle:

I bought Sukin Nourishing Conditioner today! :clapping:

Still have not seen anywhere that carries this range although have found a couple of places that sell online.
