I was going to save this one for a while, but it’s relevant now, so here it is!

Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum is my Holy Grail hair product. It smells fantastic, doesn’t grease up my hair, makes it feel super-soft, and shines enough to blind you (well, maybe not, but you get the gist). It’s only con is that it’s slightly expensive, but it’s totally worth it – I bought a tiny little bottle, probably about as long as my palm. It was on sale for $6, and I put it in my hair whenever it’s looking less than perfect. I have short hair, so I just put in a drop or so. I’ve used a whole centimetre of it, over about two and a half months :P

So pretty much, what I’m trying to say is this: BUY IT!! Yes, the price is a little high, but it’s like treating yourself. And very much worth the price tag!

EDIT: I picked up a new full-sized bottle of this at the ABA hair show in ’08 for $15, and over a year later, I’ve literally only used an inch and a half – about to the bottom of “smoothing”. You really only do need a tiny bit!

I’ve been searching for the HG of shampoos and conditioners since I was twelve.

I haven’t found it yet.

But along the way, I’ve tried quite a few – today, you’re hearing about the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi shampoo and The Detangler conditioner.

As you can tell by the title, they weren’t worth the enormous price tag – my hair felt fantastic, and I could practically see my reflection in it, but my scalp got greasy within the day – right now, I’m using Joico. Life has been really, really busy, so I didn’t have time to shower yesterday, and my hair’s just barely beginning to get oily.

I guess these two would be great for someone with really dry hair, that wanted shine and softness. But if you have a normal or oily scalp, this really isn’t for you – no matter how great it makes your hair feel, the price tag (about $25/bottle) is way too high for normal people to be okay with the greasy-scalp-factor.
