I love the Revlon equave leave in conditioner, smells amazing! and I could never just use a small size amount of shampoo and conditioner :P thanks for sharing! dunno about buying professional haircare products though! would like to but I go through shampoo and conditioner so quick so it would be quite spendy :/

Doesn't it! Every hairdresser I've ever gone to has used it and I only know that because I LOVE the smell of it haha I'm going to buy it this week now that I know what it's called :) (In a shop thats completely seperate and no one way affiliated with her in case someone says anything)
I've never used professional haircare products but I'm going to try and find the Alter Ego (I don't know where I'm going to find them :/) ones she said were good to see if I notice a difference, I might throw a review up of all the products when I've used them a while for you guys :)

Where can you buy the Revlon conditioner? I presume just at a hairdressers? I want a bottle too ha-ha! yes definitely put up reviews and let me know if you can find the alter ego products, if its not too pricey I'd give it a go :)

I'm just going to a local hair and beauty supplies shop, and Ireland doesn't stock anything so a shop near you is bound to have it haha I've checked online and its only 16 euro for a really big bottle so I'll be buying that later this week and I'll post on your wall or make a review thread after a few weeks how I'm finding it. I can't find them anywhere except amazon, on there they're 25 dollars (18 euro) for a litre so that is not bad at all I think but I'm going to be lazy and see if the hair supplies will order them in for me :P.

Oh you're from Ireland! I'm getting it in hair shop downstairs in the Eyre Square Shopping Centre Galway if you're ever in the area.
I'll send you a link for an Irish website I found that sells Alter Ego :)
http://www.hairdressingsupplies.ie/shop/category.aspx?catid=9&page=2
They're based in Roscommon so you could ring and just ask them if the website is too annoying to read lol
^They're about 12 euro for a litre each in that place and I think delivery is 5 euro

Can you still buy them if its a hairdresser supply website?? thanks for the link :) I'm hardly ever in always, I'm from meath but I will definitely try a hairdresser for the Revlon :) its only?16 for it? I'd say the hairdresser would charge a lot more for it though :/

It shouldn't be a problem unless your buying developer or peroxide or they only sell in certain quantities :)
I don't know if hairdressers will do them, do you not have a supply shop locally? I suppose if you have a good relationship with your hairdresser you can ask her to buy an extra one for you? Yeah its only 16 for that huge bottle they use ;)
Breeze, could you ask your aunt is there any difference in own brand hairsprays vs more expensive ones and a good heat protectant she recommends please if you can :)

@Breeze can you please ask her is there any ways that oil can help dry ends? Cause I heard that they die and can not be repaired:(

Aug 13, 2014

Breeze T.

Sure, I'll write them all down. Once I see her, I'll ask her and I'll post the answer here if I can find the thread, or on your profile :) sound good?

Breeze T.

You can also post questions on my profile if you can't find the thread anymore too.

Ofcourse shes going to say to buy "professional" hair care products, they are super expensive and just because its more expensive doesn't mean its better than drugstore products!!

Aug 13, 2014

Caitriona H.

Thats just her preference and what she believes in better Paula, can I ask why you think shes going to say expensive is better? In fairness now the products she recommended are reasonable I think
Thank you Breeze!
Thanks Liz and Flores, glad you enjoyed it :)
