Apple Ginseng Smells like Poo

Firstly, may I just say I meant to post a blog yesterday with a small picture/tribute to 9/11, then like a complete dodohead I forgot. Typical. Sorry:[

Ok, so in case the title confuses you, I was in the shower thinking about what I was going to post (yes I think about just about everything in the shower)(sorry if this is tmi) and I went to put conditioner in my hair (of which I use a lot) and found that we had a new one called Apple Ginseng, which was probably from the dollar section at Target, and found it smelled, as the title says, like poo. So, hair products.

I generally am not very picky about shampoo/conditioner. I just use whatever is in the shower. A staple in our house has been Pert Plus, at least for my dad. I think he likes it because it's like one-stop-shopping, you know shampoo and conditioner in one. I personally like the fastness better, but can't use it because with my unruly curls I have to have to have to use a separate conditioner (and use a lot) and even let it sit in my hair for a few minutes. So my mom and I currently use Garnier Fructis. $3.99

The shampoo I currently want is one like the one above. It is a " DeGunkify Tingly Deep Cleaning Shampoo", which I clearly need, as you'll see from the next product. The only problem with Herbal Essences shampoo/conditioner is that it doesn't seem to detangle enough, as I stated that I need above. But I'll be on the hunt... $3.99



I am obsessed with hairspray, and those of you who know me know this is true. Half my hairstyling is slicking back most of my hair. I believes this dates back to my pre-5th grade days, when my hair was so frizzy that it'd just frizz out of any hairstyle and sometimes I'd resort to a headband and ponytail (at the same time!) to tame my wild mane. I even had the triangle cut circa the 2nd grade! Eww! So yes, rather than frizz out, I'd rather slick down. I saw this hairspray in a magazine, and I love it, for a very funny reason: its smell. It smells good, almost like a perfume, not icky alchohol or something. $5.99



This stuff is great. I put in a quarter-sized dollop of it in wet hair and when I let my hair air dry overnight you can tell the difference when I put it in and when I don't. My only gripe is the price, a dinky bottle costs $8.99



For the parts of my hair that aren't slicked down with hairspray, I still try to tame them. My general fix is mousse. I used to use this Dove kind, but then they changed stuff and I couldn't find it at Target or Walmart, so I got this stuff instead, Seriously Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse. $3.99

Haha, notice how all my products are pretty cheap? There are two reasons: a) I'm poor. Duh. b) I tend to experiment a lot and switch around my hair products/regiment, so they need to be kinda indispensable. And cheap. For instance, if I travel (and like I can't take mousse) I need to be able to get it anywhere. By the by, once, I didn't take mousse during our annual Christmas CA sojourn, and at first I tried to function without it, but by the end of day 2 I was like, "Dad, I need mousse NOW!" So we stopped at Pavillion's. Muahaha.
