Camella blogs: I just want back in your head...

Bojour!

This is my first "Beauty on the Cheap" post...

aren't you thrilled and amazed? Well you should be.

I thought that I would start off by talking about one of my most favorite things: hair stuffs (hence the name, I suppose).

The story goes like this: I'm trying to grow my hair out super, super long but that's easier said than done, I find out. I used to heat style my hair pretty much every other day or close to it... all that blow-drying and flat ironing took it's toll on my poor locks and currently I'm in the midst of a split end CRISIS.

And I do mean CRISIS!

I should probably tell you that it's not all of my hair.

Oh no. The top few layers look great... a few sticky-uppies here and there but nothing worth noting. However, once you get past the top layers, the underside of my hair needs some serious TLC... not only are the ends split, they're breaking off and just the strangest texture... which I've been working on correcting.

I've purchased this shampoo by Herbal Essences which is one of my favorite brands. It's from the Long Term Relationship collection. Initially, I was in love. Not only does it smell fancy and floraly, but it moisturized my hair well. After about 4 months of using it though, I'm sad to report that it hasn't really helped all that much.

Even after I've cut my heat styling down to once or twice a week and I've invested in a Jose Erber straightener (a steal on Amazon.com) which seems to leave my hair much softer and not quite so damaged... the shampoo leaves my wet hair squeeky and dry. The conditioner is a little different story, though. It moisturizes quite well and I leave it in for most of my shower.

I'm really interested in trying the Chi Keratin Mist because I hear that it's saved lives (sort of). So if you've had this experience, let me know what worked for you!

I'm also really interested in clip in hair extensions lately. I heard about this brand American Dream from Lollipop26 and though they're a brand from the UK, I'm desperate to get my hands on a weft or two.

So that's the story of my poor head of hair. Please let me know if you have any product recommendations. I'll put a list of what I'm using below.
