My hair is one of the few things I don't mind maintaining & sinking money into. I'm constantly trimming, styling, dyeing, reworking etc. Because, lets face it, frizzy mousey brown hair never did anybody any favors. I just had it retouched for my birthday (which is this weekend..yay!), with a lot more blonde highlights and a chocolate brown low-light with the same tone "peekaboo". I also had a thin out as my hair was getting out of control again. I had my ends trimmed to as they were pretty fried from the constant straightening. I gotta say, I love that just been to the salon feel! Its a shame it never feels the same after you wash it!
 
Any-who, the point of this blog is that one of things I've never really thought about or paid much attention to, is the fact that for all I do to maintain my hair - I've never considered shampoo or conditioner. Which has probably gone a long way to helping my hair into the state my stylist has endearingly termed "Egg Fried Hell". I'm not sure what the egg part is supposed to mean....

-So I'm on a hunt. A hunt for the perfect-for-me shampoo & conditioner. I don't have a lot of cash to spend constantly trying new products, so this is going to be an as I run out sort of deal. Plus it will give some time for the product to make a difference on my hair (or not!). I figure if something isn't happening in the first bottle..chances are its just not going to happen.

All of this brings me to my point, which is simply, I'm not a fan of Bed Heads Self Absorbed Shampoo & Conditioner. While the orange citrus scent is refreshing & pleasant, the overall product itself I'm highly unimpressed with.  I thought I would try it as I am a fan of the product lines manipulator, but this left a lot to be desired.

For starters the shampoo does not lather well. I had to use a lot of it, and a lot of water to get it to semi-lather, and unless I spend twenty minutes scrubbing my head (which we single moms with kids under 5 know is never a good idea!) my hair just simply does not come clean. Washing my hair should not be a battle of wills between me & my shampoo. Enough said.

Conditioner wise, it applied easily, but I just overall don't feel like its doing a lot for my hair. Its been about a month and If anything I would almost say I'm noticing more breakage. That being said, even if this conditioner were doing something for my hair, I would probably not purchase it again due to the shampoo being so awful. Yeah I'm one of those gotta use the matching set kids.
 
Overall..thumbs down Bed Head. Thumbs down.
