Hi all!! I haven't done any serious checkbook damage in a while and I've not gone all out on hair products for even longer. A little back story on the hair product thing-- I've been seeing the same hairstylist since I was 21 and needed to get a "temporary" black home dye job undone as neatly as possible. She fixed my screw up with minimal damage and she made a customer for life.
At the time, this meant I bought ALL my hair products from her ever rotating stock, which meant beaucoup bucks on Bedhead (when Bedhead was still good), S-Factor, Colure, and others I'm sure existed but escape my memory. A few years later, I made the life changing discovery that the humble bar of Dove soap cleaned my face the same way my $30 Shiseido cleanser did (though I do miss using that luxurious line from time to time). I decided to apply the same principle to my haircare routine and my days of spending $20+ on a bottle of shampoo were over.
