Terax Original Crema Ultra Conditioner


My new gold-standard in conditioner!

I have a LOT of hair. A ton of super-thick strands. When I dye my hair at home, I need 2 boxes. With this conditioner, I really only need the dime-sized amount!

Hair feels great, not at all waxy. Love the results and the lack of build-up!

Go to amazon.com & order this NOW! Will last you for ages.

Terax: Life Drops Leave-in conditioner


Terax Hair Care Life Drops Leave-In Protein Conditioner


Leave-In conditioner that makes your hair happy!

It's a conditioner & de-frizzing agent in one gloriously easy application.

My hair is so soft and silky and SMOOTH--during a Michigan July!

One bottle will last a good long time, you only need a couple of drops, so it is economically sound.
Very neutral scent, a light green-vanilla.

So worth it! You can even get it from Amazon.com, so have it sent with your next book order.

Calista TOOLS Texturizing Definer


A little goes a long way with this cream definer. I used it on both wet and dry hair to see if it would do something for me. Unfortunately it didn't do a thing. I'm sure it's because my hair has zero natural wave or texture. Sorry, folks.

Sebastian Trilliant


Trilliant is brilliant!
Keeps hair from frizzing out--a BIG deal in Michigan summers--and adds shine and dimension.
There's mica in it!
I love it & recommend it highly.
Just mist a little into your hands & work through your (damp) hair.
If you are a pro-sprayer, you could spritz directly onto your hair, but I am not that advanced.
Light, beachy scent.

Pureology-Serious Colour Care, AntiFade Complex (2)

Dandruff Scalp Cure Shampoo:

I've been dealing with some itchy scalp, occassional dandruff for about a year now. And I have medium-dark brown hair that gets very light (which I hate!) in the sun. So I was super excited to try this line from Pureology. While my scalp wasn't helped much, my hair has so far maintained it's color, and that makes me happy! I didn't realize when I began testing this product that the entire line is vegan and organic - now I'm super happy (having just returned to a vegetarian lifestyle). The scent on this product is pleasant - not at all perfumey. The lather is beyond amazing! It's very thick out of the bottle, which tells me that you are wasting very little money on H2O when you buy this product - always good. If I were to change anything, it would be the bottle design. The body is sort of elliptical with a very long neck, and squeezing out product becomes a little difficult when you get mid-way through the contents. But this was easily remedied by removing the cap.

Dandruff Scalp Cure Hair Conditioner:

Just the right amount of conditioning without making hair too soft to style.

Summary:
Out of 3 stars, this would be a 2. It's a great line, I love the scent and consistency, I just wish it did a better job on the dry & itchy scalp.
