We've talked about make-up and shower caddys... now lets talk about

What hair products you swear by.

I'm not talking about shampoo or conditioner, but those after shower products, the ones you use to get your hair to behave (or look like it is).

I'm pretty much a wash and wear gal, but lately I've taken to using product and drying my hair.

Sometimes I use a thermasilk leave-in conditioner as a base.

The weather and the look are the factors for what product I'll use.

For those humid or damp days or if I just want to be simple I either use Garnier Frutise mousse or Garnier Frutise spray gel. It tames the frizziness I get with humid weather.

If I'm going to be straightening my hair I have a silicon gel I use (from the salon) or if I just want straighter hair I'll use that.

My hair is really weird, I have a wave to it but it won't hold a curl.

I'm going to be picking up some stuff that my stylist used. I think it's Redkin and it's a leave in conditioner protector thing.

I don't like mousse or gel in my hair...my hair's so thick it just weighs it down and makes it feel greasy!

I've tried a million different hairsprays...and the only ones I'll use are Aqua Net or Rave Airesol...pump spray is Aussie Mega something...All the others just won't stand up with my hair...it just fades away after an hour....

When I want to wear my hair curly, I use Catwalk Strong Mousse and Frisky spray gel. Whe I straighten my hair, I use Sebastian Texturizing gel and Potion #9. For hairspray, I use either PM Freeze and Shine or Italy Spray. I don't like to use silica based gels because they flatten my hair too much, but I do use a little BedHead shine spray once in a while.

Oh man.....I think I said it all in the shower caddy thread and I'm too lazy to go upstairs and peek in the shower. I change products quite a bit because I have to. My hair doesn't respond well to using the same products for a long time.

I have been using a leave-in conditioning milk spray......I think it's Matrix....that I really love. I'm on my second bottle of the stuff, so I must like it.

My daughter's been using the Trader Joe's Spa shampoo and conditioner and her hair looks fantastic and smells great, too.

I'm trying to figure out what my hair needs after getting a slightly shorter haircut. I always like a leave-in conditioner to keep my hair from being too flyaway. I think what I use is a foam conditioner by Pantene. Then I use some mousse (Suave) at the roots because otherwise it's too limp. Finally I steal some of my son's gel (good old Dep) to touch to the ends. That's working this week. Don't know what I'll need to do next week.

I never blowdry my hair -- makes it all poodle-puffy 80s style. Right now I'm using something called Curls Up because it's a) cheap b) available at the Walgreen's on the corner and c) doesn't require blowdry styling.

My hair is so straight, there's no hope for it. I would have no idea about product.

Betty · 03-30-2005, 06:42 PM

Some Loreal (sp?) mousse. I generally will try a new mousse if its something that seems good (i.e. I like the container, the name of the product, or the brand or whatever... what doesn't that leave out?

) That brand in the bright green bottle - damn I can't remember the name at the moment - has the worst smelling mousse ever. I threw it away because - ew - who wants to smell like that! I'd rather it didn't smell like anything so I can wear perfume and not have to wonder what it actually smells like. Then I use some hairspray. Thermasilk and Sauve do not seem to have any hold to me. I use the same brand - the one in the bright green package - for hairspray because it really holds well. Oh - I remember now. It's Garnier Nurtris (sp?).
