Conditioner -Sexy Hair Concepts - healthy sexy hair soy milk conditioner
sassyBrunette 4/11/2013 9:52:00 AM
So I was looking for a new conditioner because the pureology hydrate that I have been using(my favorite) is too expensive for me to afford anymore. I got this conditioner which was recommended to me by my friend who works at the salon by my house. I tried it for the first time last night and I actually love it!! It's just as good if not better than the pureology hydrate and it's half the price! My hair was so easy to brush out when I got out of the shower! No tangles! And that is very rare for my hair especially because it's soooooo long!! This is possibly my new HG conditioner

Hair -Klorane - Dry shampoo
sassyBrunette 12/20/2012 3:44:00 PM
This is my official number 1 favorite dry shampoo!!! I wrote a review for the Oscar blandi dry shampoo, but that stuff has nothing on this Klorane dry shampoo! The Oscar blandi would make my scalp itchy at times and give me dandruff (weird)... But it was the only stuff I could find that was better than everything else I had tried.. This klorane dry shampoo doesn't do any of that! Actually, there are no negatives to using this stuff... I have the powder form of it and I love it (I hate the spray dry shampoos) this is also meant for frequent use... Which is perfect for me because I color my hair and I only wash it 3 to 4 times a week to keep the color longer

Hair -Farouk CHI - 44 Iron Guard
sassyBrunette 11/28/2012 11:18:00 AM
This is amazing. I really do not understand the negative reviews? Then again, I don't straighten my hair, ever. I only use a curling wand for loose curls or waves. This works excellently for me. It makes my waves soft after using the iron and I do believe it is protecting me hair well. It doesn't weigh my waves or curls down, it keeps them staying in place all day long. Hair is NOT crunchy or hard at all !! You do not need to spray a lot... And that's why I gave it 4 stars- it only happened once, but when I sprayed too much (4 sprays) on a certain section of my hair, then one piece came of crunchy looking. Here is the way to prevent that even if you use think you sprayed too much(works for me): you brush through the sections you spray to evenly distribute the product in your hair with a BRUSH. I use a boar bristle brush anytime i use this to distribute it throughout my hair then I use my curling wand :)

Treatments -Redken - Real Control Intense Renewal Super Moisturizing Mask
sassyBrunette 11/14/2012 10:07:00 AM
REAL CONTROL? ........LOL. more like out of control. I am ALWAYS careful when it comes to not using too much of a hair mask. I make sure I am not using too much. I used the same amount when I tried this out as when I use my other hair masks (My 2 favorites) which are Redken Curvaceous and Macadamia Natural Oil hair mask. I do not understand what the deal was with this...BUT I SPENT A HALF HOUR OR MORE TRYING TO RINSE THIS OUT IN THE SHOWER. OMFG. I have color treated hair two shades darker than my natural, and that probably washed away a lot of the color ;/ This stuff made my hair feel sticky and hard WHILE rinsing it out. The other 2 hair masks I use make my hair feel silky while rinsing them out. This was HARD to wash out. Afterwards, my hair was super easy to brush and soft....but the day after that it is just weighed down. hated this product and returned it immediately

Shampoo -Oscar Blandi - Pronto Dry Shampoo
sassyBrunette 11/3/2012 12:07:00 PM
Just used this for the first time and I love it. No residue, gets rid of all greasy areas! Gave it a 4 because some of it got like stuck on my scalp so it looked really white on a certain part but u just gotta really rub it in... I shouldn't apply this close to my scalp ! Other wise this stuff is great!!! I workout alot so i need a dry shampoo afterwards, especially on the days that I already have washed my hair.I will repurchase UPDATE: made my scalp itchy after a week of use (maybe less) ... And my hair got oily again sometimes after using it so I would have to kee applying more ... Also gave me dandruff ... I do not know if this is meant for frequent use(doesn't seem like it) I now give this only 3 stars ... It's average. Klorane dry shampoo works way better and doesn't have any of these negatives to it

Hair -Unlisted Brand - MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL Deep Repair Mask
sassyBrunette 10/29/2012 7:05:00 PM
I have used this for the first time last night. I LOVE IT. Pros: makes hair feel SUPER soft actually moisturizes hair REDUCES FRIZZ TO NONE, no more frizz makes hair SHINY!!!! magically disguises split ends lol they do not look as bad after using this SMELLS INCREDIBLE> OMG Easy to apply Creamy Hair feels super soft and silky while rinsing out makes hair easier to bush, less tangles. Which means less de-tangling spray! ( I use AG detangling spray it is amazing and not too heavy) Cons: hard to wash out This mask has impressed me after just one use. I am looking for other techniques to use this. Should I use a shower cap to get ULTIMATE results? I wonder...please message me if you use a shower cap and if you know that you get even better results with that, rather than just leaving hair down while it soaks this in! UPDATE: I give this a 4 now because it is actually hard to rinse out! it takes a long time to rinse it out of my hair which does not happen with my 2 other favorite hair masks. Still makes hair easier to manage for styling though

Shampoo -Pureology - Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
sassyBrunette 10/28/2012 10:22:00 PM
My favorite shampoo of all time. makes my hair soft, shiny, and no frizz, and easy to manage. It feels sooo good while I put it on my scalp and hair. My scalp feels tingly and I can run my fingers gently through my hair. SMELLS AMAZING. My stylist recommended this to me and I am glad I bought it. I give it a 4 because of the price. Although, the price is worth it.

Conditioner -Redken - Color Extend Conditioner
sassyBrunette 10/28/2012 10:19:00 PM
I think I may know why this is getting such bad reviews. This has protein in it, and if you use too much protein in your hair (I have overdosed my hair on protein in the past), your hair becomes gummy and breaks because there is too much protein. I only use this conditioner once a week when I do my weekly deep condition. I shampoo, deep condition, and then use this afterwards. It gives my hair protein once a week without over-doing it and protects the color. I think it is pretty good! I gave it 4 stars just because it feels really weird while its on your hair and while rinsing it out haha

Treatments -Pureology - Perfect4Platinum Miracle Filler
sassyBrunette 10/18/2012 11:51:00 PM
I had blonde highlights.. For like... 2 months lol I'm so glad I'm back to brunette it suits me better but anyways! .... This miracle filler which I used while I had the highlights was just okay. Not great, but not bad. Pros: gets rid of tangles! Detangles SOOO good (this was the main reason I used it) Makes hair shiny Cons: really weighed my hair down which was weird because it's pureology and I like them usually... And the ingredients are vegan? The next day, my hair would feel like sticky kind of as if it was sticking together I don't know how to exactly explain it Made my hair stringy if I used too much

Shampoo -Redken - Hair Cleansing Cream
sassyBrunette 10/16/2012 3:37:00 PM
My professional stylist used this on me after i got my hair professionally colored from blonde back to brown (well, a shade darker than my natural, so now i am a dark brunette). This is what my salon uses after they color someone's hair, just to make sure all the dye and chemicals are out. Then, they use any other Redken or Pureology shampoo and conditioner that you want them to use(prettyy cool)....I picked this up the other day because it has been about 11 days since i have colored my hair and i use styling products everyday, and noticed there was some build up. This works VERY WELL! My hair feels squeeky clean and feels like all the build up is gone!! -ONLY USE THIS ONCE A WEEK OR ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH PRODUCT YOU USE IN YOUR HAIR, OR IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER. ALSO IMPORTANT: Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or a really good shampoo and conditioner after, because it can be somewhat drying. I use the Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner after.

Treatments -Redken - Extreme Anti Snap (new formula 2011)
sassyBrunette 10/16/2012 3:29:00 PM
Redken Anti-snap works pretty well !! SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: For me, if I use too much of this, it can make my ends look like straw or strngy. You ONLY need a little bit, like for me i can only use some on my index finger or on both my index finger and another finger (so that is a small amount) i rub it on the rest of my fingers together and put it only on my ends or the ends of my bangs. I give it a 4 because of this reason- cannot use too much Also, I only use this about 2-3 times a week. there is a lot of protein in there, so do not use it everyday - i have even confirmed this with my professional stylist. Oh, and IT SMELLS AMAZING Overall, I really like this product. I would buy again because I hate split ends and I like to protect them and prevent them as much as possible
