Styling Products -Redken - Guts

This is my second can of Guts in two years. Initially I really loved this product. I still do but don't use it too often. Maybe it had to do with the seasons changing or something. I do like the volume it gives but is it worth the $22? I can feel a buildup on my roots later in the day and even more so the next day.

Styling Products -Redken - Quick Dry- Instant finishing spray

My absolute favorite hairspray. I have two full 365ml bottles sitting in my closet as I am still making my way through my current can. My mom knows I love redken products and got them for me a couple weeks ago when they were on sale back home. I like that it is very light but still keeps my hair held. I curl my hair from time to time and I loved that it held my curls without weighing them down. I have used other hairsprays but found they were too heavy and just pulled the curl out of my hair. I love love love this product!

Styling Products -Clairol - Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Scrunching Gel

I've had this product for quite some time now and I know I have repurchased it in the past. I started using this product in grade 12 I think, so about 7 or 8 years ago when big messy buns were in... I always used this product with diffuser and then put my hair in a messy bun because leaving it down just looked strange. In the past 5 years I have maybe used this product twice. The most recent time was last week when I applied a bit to my ends and went to bed. It's not a horrible product, it's just not how I like to style my hair. My roommate did make note that my hair was styled differently, I was just hoping to get more defined waves. It was wearable. I won't buy this product again once I run out, or throw it out because I have a large variety of new products that I like better and use more.

Styling Products -Redken - 15 Spray Starch Heat Memory Styler

When I first started curling my hair I noticed the curls weren't holding that great throughout the day. I had a friend who always had beautiful curly hair and I remember it was a rainy day when I asked her how she got her curls to stay all day with the gross humid rainy weather. She told me about spray starch and hot sets. I went to the salon and picked a bottle up a year and a half ago. I think I am now on my 4th bottle as I don't curl my hair that often anymore but when I do, I always use this product. It holds curls very well and can make it a little crispy. I like running my hands through my hair during the day so I like that I can mess it up after curling and it will still hold. It is a multi-use product and can also be used for straightening hair but i've never used it for that purpose.

Styling Products -Got 2 Be - Dazzling shine spray
rated 3 of 5

I bought this to bring some shine to my hair. I don't like oils because I find it can make my hair greasy. I have used maybe 3/4 of the bottle (177ml). I don't really notice a big difference, I will apply while i'm straightening my hair. My mom did make a comment once about my hair looking more healthy but to be honest I don't notice a change.

Styling Products -Sexy Hair Concepts - Big Sexy Hair - Spray and Play Hairspray
rated 4 of 5

I purchased a 50ml bottle of this product for $6.95(cdn). I wanted to try the Sexy Hair products for a while and thought this was the perfect size to try out. I used it after styling my hair yesterday and it was alright. I did find it to be a little sticky and maybe a little crunchy. I normally have always purchased a Redkin hair spray mist because I curl my hair often and really liked that because it didn't weigh down my curls. I feel that Spray and Play would definitely weigh down my curls. I don't know if I would buy again but I do like that it is a small size and I can carry it in my purse in case I need it.

Styling Products -Sexy Hair Concepts - Big Sexy Hair - Dense
rated 5 of 5

I made this purchase as part of a buy 1 get 2 free deal at a salon. So I spent about $24 on three items that would have cost over $60 The actual retail price for the product is $18.25 (cdn). which to me is well worth is because I have tried a variety of products that cost around $10 and they barely worked on my hair. My hair has been previously damaged with in the last year due to dying it turquise and then bleaching it out 7 times to get the color out. Big Mistake. I have been doing treatments ever since September. My hair is past my shoulders by about 3 inches. It doesn't get oily easily and I find it's often limp near the top and has a bit of a wave with a tiny natural curl underneath. I applied the product yesterday afternoon after my shower and then slowly blowdried it out with a round brush. I noticed an immediate difference. Especially now that it is the second day. Normally my hair is so flat and gross that I have to throw it up in a bun/pony to hide how flat it really is but today it looks just like it did yesterday. I still have volume near my roots and it doesn't look greasy. I also don't feel any build up. I have been trying to find Sexy Hair products for a while now and I am really glad I found this.
