Trying Another Avalon Organics Shampoo/Conditioner

I ran out of shampoo and went to pick up a new bottle of Avalon Organics Lavendar Nourishing Shampoo. But the Avalon Organics Ylang Ylang Glistening Shampoo caught my eye. So I did some ingredient comparisons and they are pretty much the same except for:

scented oil: one is lavendar and one is ylang ylang
the Nourishing on has oat, while the Glistening one has mica minerals
The first three ingredients are the same, just in different orders. They are: honeysuckle, calendula, and lavendar

So I got the shampoo and conditioner, and tried it tonight. I *think* I see a difference in the shine and how the light is dispersed. But it could all be psychological.

It's also not completely dry, so probably too soon to tell.

Regardless if the shine really works or not, it did make my hair feel a lot softer and have more "slip" than the Nourishing version. I wonder why that is since the ingredients are so similar! I really don't think the oats>mica or change in scented oils could have done it.

Ick, I'm on some new meds for a month now, and have felt so nauseous and unmotivated to do anything. I've fallen so far behind on keeping up with the board and I've missed so much!! I can't believe I missed the exchange gift thread. Hopefully I'll catch it next time. Looks like I missed the live chat, some birthdays, and some diamond celebrations. Belated greetings to those who had birthdays and turned diamond!!

While I was feeling sickly though, I managed to read The Neverending Story, which is probably my favorite children's book.

Measured my hair today - 32". Still feels like 30" though! LOL

Things are still going well with the new shampoo and conditioner. That mica stuff really does seem to add shine. I just haven't read anything good or bad about mica - I hope it's okay.

Now I will see if boyfriend could tear himself away from his video game just a little bit to get me some crackers.

Gah I hate feeling queezy!

Many thanks Sakina and Juri! mmmm soup... YUM! Yay, I'm glad you're almost BSL now, Sakina. It's so nice to take this journey with everyone, and see the progress everyone has made!

Growing Out of my Sticks

I forgot to mention when I recorded my hair length - I've grown out of my bone-length sticks (about 5" sticks.) WAH!! So right now, I'm only able to wear half my sticks but maybe I should start doing half updos. I've also been wearing a single braid a lot around the house since it's a great way to keep my hair out of my face, the dishwater, and vaccuum cleaner.

Oh yeah, and I've put in an order with Susan for my Strawberry Tea design in Rapunzel length. Can't wait!!

Plus it allows me to keep using the shorter sticks!

I hope you're feeling better. ((((khrome))))

Isn't The Bridge of Birds one of the best books ever? I've read it at least 20 times and I never get tired of it. Cheesy

As for your shorter sticks, you can wear 2 buns with 4 sticks. It's a great way to show off your collection. Grin
