I've had mine for going on 6 years and I don't know what I'd do w/out it. i keep my hair curly most days, but on the weekends, when i just want to pull it back, that Chi saves my life. ps- if yours ever breaks (mine did once), theres some company in Oregon that'll fix it for $20 and send it back to you. omg, I know what you mean about the Chi.

I love(d) Glisten shampoo and conditioner; my hair looked so shiny and full while I was using them. Unfortunately, a few months ago my hair cracked it after some particularly brutal highlights, and I had to turn once more to expensive, nanna-scented Kerastase. I have such a love-hate relationship with Kerastase. In times of hair need it really does work, but it's <i>so</i> expensive, all their products smell like old woman, and their product names suck. I don't like cluttering up my shower with Bain Volumactive and Ciment Anti-Usure, whatever that is. I'm a 'tard with the blowdrying, so I always let my hair air dry with a little Kiehls Creme with Silk Groom worked into it. Air drying is better for curly hair, anyway. I recently bought myself the heavily advertised GHD flat iron and it is The. Business. I've been using Kerastase Ciment Thermique (... sigh) and Matrix Gold Heat Iron Spray with it, and so far my hair hasn't singed and fallen off, which is a good sign. Great reviews.

I have found since I have switched to sulfate free shampoos I can go a lot longer between dye jobs. My hair is so course so I only wash it every 2 or 3 days. Anna, are the Mop products sulfate free?

But I alternate w Ojon's Shine & Protect Shampoo and Conditioner too. I have fine long hair which I highlight every 8 weeks or so and I can't say enough about Ojon. I love their Leave-in Glossing Cream and Animated Styling Cream (the latter sort of gives your hair separation, texture and volume and you need only use the teeniest bit). Keihls has a similar product called Leave In Hair Conditioner but it is a bit too rich to use in the summer months. I just wish Ojon products were cheaper.

I can't really be bothered to do much with my hair, most days I don't even brush it, just finger-comb-dry. But if I take the time to at least blowdry my bangs, it makes me feel a little more hotted up.
