After kicking the idea around for a while, I decided to seek out a sulfate-free Shampoo and Conditioner. Mostly because Phyrra (who is completely awesome) convinced me that it would help my hair dye last longer. The first thing I picked up to try was the Finesse Clean & Clear, because I’d read a few positive reviews for it. I think Phyrra had one, and I’m pretty sure I also read one on Noveau Cheap. I was excited and happy.
And then I was disappointed.
I could not get the shampoo to work properly, not without using tons and tons. The key with the Finesse stuff is to get you hair really, really, really, really soaking wet. No, REALLY. And my hair is super oily, I get oily really fast. I cannot get my hair wet enough to make the shampoo work without cleaning my hair first. I stood under the water for what seemed like forever, I soaked my hair in the tub for an hour. I really wanted this to work, but it didn’t. This stuff barely lasted 2 weeks because I had to soak and wash and rinse and then wash and rinse and sometimes again. I went through it unbelievably fast.
Bummed me out. It was fairly nice even if it did take a lot of time and energy and shampoo to use. Would probably work a dream on someone else. So when I ran out I used what we had in the house a couple of days, and when I was out earlier I ran across some Burt’s Bees shampoo- it’s the volume one, I think that’s Pomegranite? Anyway, I’d used the Grapefruit in the past and I remember having success with that, so I picked it up and we’ll see how it goes.
Items bought by me, all opinions (stupid or not) are mine.
