The question of the day: Where is my Verizon bill? I had mentally decided that it must be in the pile of miscellaneous mail on the nightstand, but after flipping through that, I have mentally decided that it must be somewhere else. But where?

Second question of the day: Does anyone out there have shampoo recommendations? I can be swayed to spend stupid amounts of money on hair care products if someone tells me a product is worth it, so the sky's the limit! I have thick, curly, non-color-treated hair, as an fyi. Any input is v. much appreciated.

That's it for now. American Dreams is on and I am way too caught up in the emotional turmoil of JJ Pryor to focus on anything else.

you know, when I was single, I tried all the expensive shampoos, tried all kinds of stuff, and now that I'm old and poor ;) I just use Suave and can't notice a bit of difference. the key is, for me, that I don't use any styling products on my hair, so when I wash it, I only do the scalp, I don't rub shampoo all the way down my hair. And most of the time I don't even use conditioner--and it's nice and soft.

So, yeah. Not to sound like a commercial, but I love Suave. cheap and reliably decent.

I use a line call Ouidad that is specifically for those with curly hair. I specifically use the Curl Quencher line, along with a little bit of Climate Control gel, and the deep conditioning treatment when I remember. They do offer a starter kit for $15 that has samples of all the main products. http://www.ouidad.com/shop_dept.asp?dept_level=2#07

When I first used the line I literally gasped at how great my hair looked when it had dried(naturally of course). Where before there had been a tendency to frizz, now I had pretty curls. If I do say so myself. *lol*

As do I, and echoing the advice above, I use Suave (coconut scented, for normal hair). If I splurge on anything, it's conditioners and product, because, as my hair dresser informs me, shampoo is really just for your scalp, conditioner is for your hair -- and if you have curly hair, in all likelihood you shouldn't not be using conditioner.

I like Suave's daily conditioners and Aussie 3-minute Miracle (which I will sometimes use as an everyday conditioner, even though I'm sure it's supposed to be used like once a week or something). And I use Tigi Bedhead's straightening gel (I forget exactly what it's called...it's a pretty translucent green color) for an every day product. It doesn't actually straighten unless you blow-dry, it just makes the curls manageable and glossy.

I like the V05 milks. Particularly the coconut one and the strawberry one.

But I've been using Dove shampoo plus conditioner to save myself a step and that's working out for me.

Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner works for me. I don't have thick hair but it's relatively curly. They've got different kinds of shampoos and conditioners for all sorts of hair types.

My shampoo is changeable. I'm currently using Tigi Bedhead Moisture Maniac, and I love it, but it came free with a bottle of one of their curly hair styling products. As much as I like the way it smells (green apples!), I will probably not repurchase it when it gets used up. Of course, I only use it once or twice a week.

I love L'Oreal CurlVive conditioners. And the styling schmutz I really love was Tigi Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Amplifier, but I can't find it anymore. KMS makes a product similar, which I'm using now. It's a thick lotion/paste thing. I smoosh it in and let my hair air dry.

My sister-in-law uses the Ouidad stuff mentioned above, she got her haircut there before her wedding, too. She says it's good for a while, but didn't like her second haircut there and the products are really expensive. She uses a combination of that stuff, Neutrogena, l'Occitane and Aveda products. She also loved the Catwalk schmutz, and we're both hoping it reappears at the place I used to buy it. (Mixing it up is always fun!)

Curly hair is hard!
