B & B Baby

Wild guess as to what my favorite brand of shampoo & conditioner is! To a normal person, this would look like too many hair products. To me, it looks like I need MORE (just kidding…kinda). I like each one for a different reason (from left to right):

Bumble & Bumble Mending Complex
This isn’t a shampoo or conditioner, but rather a cream. I use it after I blow dry my hair (just a little bit and rub my hands together) and it takes the frizziness right out! It’s not heavy or greasy, and makes your hair smooth.

Bumble & Bumble Crème de Coco Shampoo
I LOVE how this one smells. It’s just a hint of Coco, definitely makes me happy after using it!

Bumble & Bumble Crème de Coco Conditioner
Same as the shampoo, love the smell and makes hair very silky.

Bumble & Bumble Gentle Shampoo
I like to switch off between the Coco, Gentle & Quenching shampoos. Since my hair is color treated, I feel like I need a mild shampoo like this one to “go easy” on my hair…it’s been through a lot to be this blonde! =)

Bumble & Bumble Quenching Shampoo
This one is perfect for summer, even though I use it all year round. After being outside in the sun all day, I feel my hair getting brittle and dry. What could be better than a big “drink” of quenching shampoo? =)

What are your favorite shampoo/conditioners? Share!

Do You Cheat On Your Shampoo?

Are you a dirty cheater? Do you have a shampoo (and/or conditioner) that you love, works perfectly well, but feel the need to buy...another? And ANOTHER. And oh...this one is on sale...ANOTHER. If so, you are like me.

I don't know what it is about shampoo and conditioner, but they are always something that I buy in excess. How many shampoos can one have in their shower at one time? Are all these pretty little bottles in varying shapes and sizes necessary? In my mind, absolutely.

I think it might be the "claims" that get me - shampoo for fine hair, glossy shampoo, thickening shampoo, color-treated shampoo. Then it's the conditioners - leave-in conditioner, detangling conditioner, light-weight conditioner...the list could practically go on forever!

I was pondering this while in the shower one morning (not surprising) and was marveled at how my shower caddy hasn't fallen off the wall yet, after being weighed down by a seemingly endless array of shampoos and conditioners. I counted - 4 conditioners and 5 shampoos for one person's head! All varying brands - Bumble & Bumble, L'Oreal, Tresemme, etc. Am I CRAZY? Is this a normal amount of items for one person to have in their shower at one time? Mind you, this is not counting the body washes, scrubs, salts, and so forth.

Do you dolls switch off between a few different shampoos/conditioners? Or stay fairly consistent with one brand or type and buy when you need it?
