Fat Hair Zero Calories Products


So I tried the shampoo, mouse and hairspray. The shampoo and mouse work well. They are pleasant smelling and fatten up my thin little strands. I definitely see a difference when I use these products. I'm not so much of a fan of the hairspray. It left my hair sticky and the smell was way too potent. But you can't have it all.

Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment


There are pros and cons to the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment. After just one use my scalp and hair did feel refreshed, but it might have needed it after using the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo. (Refer to the post right before this). I usually love hair products that treat a dry scalp in the winter, but I thought the 3-5 minutes (according to the directions on the back of package) was just a little too long to let it soak in my hair/scalp. This is not a good product if you are trying to cut down on showertime. On the plus side, I do love the peppermint and lavender scent of Tea Tree products, especially Paul Mitchell. They have the special ability of waking me up in the morning--not an easy task!

Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Special Shampoo & Conditioner




I'm glad that I waited a few weeks before posting my feelings on this product. At first I hated the way the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo left my hair feeling sticky and rough. Yes, the conditioner helped make my hair soft again, but I still felt like I needed to use detangler in order to not tear my hair to pieces when brushing. I wondered what the "special" meant?
Don't expect to be amazed by this product right away, give it a few weeks. I have very fine hair and struggle to find a perfect shampoo/conditioner that actually makes my hair feel more full--this duo was the trick. It's still not perfect, but it'll work till I find my soulmate. If you like the smell of other Tea Tree products, not only by Paul Mitchell, you will enjoy the refreshing scent this product creates.

Redken, Velvet Gelatine 07 Cushioning Blow-dry Gel

When I don't have the time or finances to hit the salon as often as I'd like, I embark on a quest into the retail jungle, in search of hair products that will leave my locks feeling like they were professionally pampered. I recently scored Redken's Velvet Gelatine 07, Blow-dry Gel. This light, airy, heat-protecting gel is a Godsend for tired, overworked hair. Everything about this little gift takes me to a happy place-almost as happy as a true salon experience. This bottle of Redken velvet gives you a fresh scent, a silky, substantial serum, and a smooth, heavenly 'do'. Sometimes a great product really does fill me up more so than food-this hunt proved to be fruitful indeed!

Wella SP 2.1 Hydro Milk


Wella System Professional Hydro Milk is a Leave-In conditioner that detangles & smooths & makes my hair happy!

Light spray with a bit of 80's-floral perfume scent. The scent quickly fades, but your hair is left silky & smooth, but not weighed-down.

Quite lovely, really!
