Products I want to Try in 2009

I guess I will do categories
Washing products
Styling Products
Electronics

I guess that is a good way to break it up, lol!

Washing
GVP Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
-is supposed to be highly compareable to Paul Mitchell, so that is good. It will be 5.79, not back. The shampoo cleanse and stimulates your scalp and aids with growth. I miss shampoos that make my scalp tingle, i think i mentioned before the Doo Gro one i used to use.....i checked the label (my mom has it), that stuff is also a thickener! nooooooooooo thank you!

GVP Tea Tree Oil Conditioner
-so I know I have conditioners, but i am curios as to how this would aid the shampoo. And it is cheaper than the Biolage (15) at 8.49. So i may get it when the Biolage runs out, which could be soon, lol! Cuz I use a good amount at a time. 

Jilbere Shower Comb
-shower detangler, but will wait on this...it is only 1.29 though, but it looks the same as mine, so not a major priority.

Deman Brush
-so these are also for detangling, but like it is 7.49.....i saw ppl with looser curls use it in blog videos and all. Sooooo, perhaps the comb is better for me.

Styling (includes anything after washing)
GVP Silk Treatment
-okay so this product is basically a leave-in conditioner that can be used on wet or dry hair. It is supposed to be weightless and ads all the stuff i want. And I wonder if it is like Silk elemnts stuff. Cuz that stuff keeps my hair sooooo soft. If i can replace the Fruitisse with this, that would be cool. It is 6.99. The Fruitisse is like 4 something (a little more :(

Hair Rules Curl Cream
-it is like 18 (expensive), so i want more info on it. I have a friend who used it before, but was not like oh it was this or that, so it must just be okay....not at Sallys

Kinky Curl
-I see this brand alot but i dont think Sallys has it so i would have to go find it. 

Go Curly Styling Serum
-okay, so i dont know much about this stuff but I am looking for one that is not so expensive, so i may try it out. I will see when i go to the store.

Silk Elements Designing Silk Mousse
-It is 3.50...I don't like mousse sometimes, i have some now, but it makes your hair a little hard at times. Not sure if this one will.

Silk Elements Liquid Styling Gel
-it is 3.69, it says that it leaves your hair silky (clearly i like silk elements), as a gel it stood out that it is liquid and it says it does not leave residue or make your hair crunchy and all the bad gel stuff. Sounds more like Jam, and i loved me some Jam but hated the smell. I love the smell of silk elements stuff. And I have been looking for a gel that brings out the curls. Definately gonna research this. I guess what i would do is try mixing this and the GVP treatment stuff in place of the olive oil, fruitisee mix. Or keep the olive oil. That bottle is huge, so i will have it forever, lol!

GVP Smothing Serum
-comparable to Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, so a good look. it is now on the website for 5 hmmmmm, might need to save a couple dollar and get it now! lol! So I heard the paul mitchell is amazing and this is too. It will be what i use when i start to straighten my hair again. After July.
ELECTRONICS!!!! LOL excited
GVP Pro Low EMF Turbo Hair Dryer
-okay so nowthat i look at this one, not sure why i picked this one. it is not a ceraminc, lol. So i am not sure....oh wait i looked, it is. Okay, sooooo ceramic and it is 64.99

Hot N Silky Gold Barrel Professional Tourmaline Hair Dryer
-this one is ceramic i guess, and made by silk elements, so yeah, clearly why i picked it. 33.99

GVP Ceramic flat iron
-not on my wish list but if my current 2 dont work okay after a while i will try it. But they work just fine and when it gets long, I can use the 2" again. So not a high priority but it is comparable to the CHi and all it's hype so whatever.

Tangle-free Hot Aid Brush Iron
-so this interests me, i heard about them on this blog i like and you can straighten your hair. I hear it is way less heat and you can do it on wet hair, so that would be cool. it is 28.99, so i am really interested in trying this. Like if i need to touch up. And also, i was thinking instead of blowing out the roots with a blow dryer after straightening, or for touching up (cuz i will be working out again), this could be cool to quickly hit roots and edges.

Soooooo, I never said why i wanna use all these Paul Mitchell comparable things. I read interviews with this celebrity hair stylists that does not just quick weave everyone's hair, she actually takes good care of it, and she talks about how great those products are (the tea tree stuff and skinny serum) and i found from many sources that GVP really is comparable. Paul Mitchell is at Trade Secrets but gets pricey fast!

I am going to the store tomorrow, so i think my list will be as follows
GVP Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner 
GVP Silk Treatment
Silk Elements Liquid Styling Gel
Magic Satin with gro Treatment Bonnet
Applicator bottle


I also need a new pillow case, buttt have not seen them in a while anywhere and i cannot seem to find them, so maybe the bonnet, cuz i have 2 scarves, that works good for my drying process.I have 2 pillowcases but like they are both well over 10 years old, and there are snags and all, so like there are spots that do pull. And the issue I have with scarves and bonnets is my apt gets hot upstairs (where my bedroom is), so i get overheated and take it off. I have a bonnet but the elastic broke, but i am able to keep it on without getting too hot, maybe because it is not double wrapped. The bonnet named above is the brand of scarves i had with the conditioners in it. I liked them, not sure that it really helped the growth but it did help it be softer. I liked that. it is 2.19.

And i am getting another applicator bottle to try out those new product mixtures. Whatever products get switched out for will go into my pre-poo mixtures. So they will still be used! I am so proud of me!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS! this was supposed to be done before 12, lol!
