Brand Loyalty (and the Lunatic's hair)

[azurelunatic]

It takes a reasonable amount of effort to get the Lunatic to actually exhibit brand loyalty, versus a preference for one brand over another based on familiarity.

Today I finally had my preferred hair conditioner (Aussie Mega Conditioner) in the shower. I put on a small bit, and the brush slid right through the knots with ease, detangling instantly. With three times as much of the low-end brand, I still have knots, and Pantene isn't much better.

I like having long hair, but the stuff tangles so very easily, especially if I've been in my element for any extended length of time. (Wind loves my hair, and it makes my hair embrace itself tightly.) At this length, I'd started getting bad snarls. Then I went shopping, and all the knots left. Hooray!

I love Aussie products - they're not too expensive (compared to salon stuff, but they are more than, say, Suave), they WORK, they smell fabulous, and they don't test on animals.

The super-moisturizing one I tried smelled like crap to me. I like the Mega Conditioner's scent a lot better.

Ooh, a *good* conditioner reccie! YAY! *scribbles on PDA*

I am also plagued by insta-tangles, of a sort that generally results in four-inch hairballs getting plucked from my hair pick when I'm detangling by hand. Ick.

Middle-Aged-Guy here--thus I'm always up for methods of avoiding unnecessary hair loss. :-D

Oh, ick, those are no fun. My hair instatangles when there's any degree of strong wind, and it takes either painstaking disassembly by hand, or double application of Aussie and a brush, to get them undone.

the hair fairies love tying mine into knots, so I'll have to give that a try. Aussie alos makes something called Slip that works okayish...

[azurelunatic]

Hmm. Slip. I think I don't need that at the moment, but it would be interesting.
