I FINALLY found a new shampoo and conditioner!

Marianne1 — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 16:13:55 GMT

I hate when they change a product line without my permission (lol)-- but I was using Redkin Color Extend and their Total Recharge spray.

I have a lot of hair, and this worked well for me--until they discontinued the Total Recharge.

So, then I tried a bunch of other lines, some Redkin, some not. HATED THEM!

Finally, I tried the new Redkin line called Blonde Idol....FINALLY, I found the perfect fit for me!

Good Hair Days are here again.

Yeah for Marianne!

You mean they didn't ask you before they discontinued it? How rude...LOL

For some reason, I picture you a brunette. I have no idea why???

The Total Recharge? It was a deep conditioner spray. I would wash my hair, spray the recharge in and then leave in in for the rest of my shower before rinsing it out.

The new line has this conditioning treatment that is two sections in the bottle that pump together-- based on week 1, week 2...etc since your last coloring.

It also has a leave in conditioning spray--

Cause you "love me, you really love me!"

I look more like Meredith Baxter in her younger days they say.

Yes the Total Recharge. Thanks for the info.

I am always looking for a good leave-in conditioning spray. I can't use a traditional conditioner because my hair is too fine and thin and they all leave my hair flat and li~mp.

I think I will take Marianne's advice and shave and regrow. I guess it will be an opportunity to save on hair products. lol

LipstickDiva, they stopped making the Total Recharge! That was my problem and started the expensive (including Wen) hunt for a new line.

Yeah I just wondered what it was. I never heard of it.

I went the Wen route too and it was a no go. A few weeks ago I bought a OTO that was a mousse and styling crème. The mousse is so thin and watery, it does nothing and the styling cream doesn't get it for my hair either.

I need products to give this flat mess some oomph.

My daughter uses the Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. Works great on her waist length blonde hair. I get the liter sized bottles but she still goes through the conditioner faster than the shampoo. She seems to like it . .. one of her neighborhood friends that was home schooled went to ""beauty school"" and I guess that was the product line they pushed.

I like Aveda and Ouidad for my blonde & naturally curly hair.

Qwack-- I try to get the liters too and then refill the smaller bottles (the liter is too big for my hands to use in the shower, lol)

I like Wen. I have fine, curly hair.

It helps calm it down and not frizz in the humidity. I can wear my hair curly or straighten it with the round brush and hair dryer. I finally have shiny hair again.

Unfortunately most times they don't even offer pumps . . . we did get pumps one time at Ulta so now we save them for the next set of bottles. I had bought the smaller ones at one time when her friend was trying to "meet her quota" that month during beauty school but it sure wasn't cost effective so we save the bottles and refill. I think Ulta had the pumpd as a *free* promo at one time but I had to ask about 3 people and then wait for someone to find them. Crazy. Or no, when she bought them they were out . . . and said come back and we will give them to you . . . a week or two later upon returning to the store . . . I had to tell that story to 3 people and then wait, even showed my receipt . . . like I'm trying to con them out of 2 pumps at 2.00 bucks each . . . at that point it was more a matter of principle vs forking over the money. haha

My hair is already calm. Too calm. LOL

It is thin, fine and flat as a pancake. No natural wave. Not even a little bend to it. Wen just make it flatter and I couldn't do a thing with it. I loved the way my hair felt but I was ready to buy a wig!
