I love having access to user reviews and I have found yours very helpful.<br /><br />I was wondering if you have ever tried any of the Aubrey Organics conditioners (or shampoos). If you have would you be willing to share your experience with us bloggers?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559885426899365680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-72803889463305242872009-12-22T20:52:32.066-08:002009-12-22T20:52:32.066-08:00I Received a large sample of Bumble & Bumble C...I Received a large sample of Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco shampoo and conditioner to try on my 10 year old daughter's hair. Have you reviewed/tried either of these?<br />She is bi-racial (black/white) and has VERY thick curly hair. The curls seem to be about the same shape as yours, but I think her hair is MUCH thicker, and I am afraid the defining process would take a very long time.<br />Additionally, she plays sports, and refuses to wear her hair "out."<br />I am hoping she grows out of this tom-boy stage. <br />Do you have any other tips for keeping her hair "contained," yet manageable? The ponytail gets very old.<br />I had to cut about 6 inches off of her hair over the summer due to split, broken and frizzy ends that just acted like Velcro to the rest of her hair. It is almost to her shoulders again. <br />Also, I am wondering if your recommended products are in order of your preference? In other words, which shampoo and conditioners are your absolute favorites?<br />Thank you,<br />KoreyKoreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306818056857799893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-28079188665500732602009-11-06T13:10:38.806-08:002009-11-06T13:10:38.806-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Priscilla Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701647679796524709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-84570443685964094662009-02-12T13:52:00.000-08:002009-02-12T13:52:00.000-08:00I ordered a Denman D5 because the bristles are wid...I ordered a Denman D5 because the bristles are wider spaced than the D3 and D4.

I think the D3 has seven rows of teeth and the D4 has nine. So it shouldn't make much of a difference which you choose. I guess the D4 is more "adult" sized is all, but both should work in the same way.Former Mushroom-Haired Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916586838385720911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-57140508645200723052008-11-01T18:36:00.000-07:002008-11-01T18:36:00.000-07:00One more question!

I tried the routine you recommended on your website last night, and wow what a difference! My curls are weighted down by the conditioner, and there's not much shrinkage, and it's just glorious! I think I put too much conditioner on the top of my head so it looks a little flat up there, but I'll play around with it.<BR/><BR/>How many times a week do you wash your hair with this routine?<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your day!Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513613322991593085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-10764766800115952652008-10-29T21:34:00.000-07:002008-10-29T21:34:00.000-07:00rae1234: I was really surprised this didn't work. ...rae1234: I was really surprised this didn't work. I'm glad I was able to save you a few dollars. Yes, I will definitely do more reviews on products. <BR/><BR/>bohemian bookworm: Hi there! To answer your question on the Denman: I don't know if it was fair to the Denman to use it with what may have been an un-slippery conditioner after perhaps still having salt in your hair. The little snaps may have been from pulling the brush through hair that wasn't slippery enough. <BR/><BR/>What I like about the Denman is that the give comes from the rubber cushion of the brush rather than your strands of hair. When you pull a comb through your hair, your hair has to stretch because the comb is inflexible. <BR/><BR/>Now, nothing will do well if your hair is like mine, and the conditioner has no slip. That's why it's so important for me to see those slippery ingredients on a product's list of ingredients. Combing my hair with a bad conditioner will damage it/cause lots of friction and wear it out no matter what I'm using.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you are wearing your hair naturally, the Denman helps comb your curls together, while a comb combs your curls apart.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, it is up to you and what you prefer. If you just feel better with a comb, that's totally your call.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful evening!<BR/><BR/>TFormer Mushroom-Haired Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916586838385720911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-36316935448162848622008-10-29T14:41:00.000-07:002008-10-29T14:41:00.000-07:00Hi!

I'm using Nature's Gate conditioner right now.<BR/><BR/>Denman brush question: I tried it over the summer and it seemed really harsh on my hair (texture is similar to yours), I heard little snaps like my hair was breaking off. Do you recommend this over a wide-tooth comb? Does the brush make a discernible difference over the comb?<BR/><BR/>I tried the brush while on vacation after I got out of the ocean (with the hotel conditioner) so I'm wondering if it's worth trying again as I keep reading rave reviews about it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your earlier response, and have a magical day!Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513613322991593085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-67651271561278338402008-10-29T14:34:00.000-07:002008-10-29T14:34:00.000-07:00i was going to try this product! you saved me a fe...i was going to try this product! you saved me a few dollars. i like this review post... can you please continue to do more reviews on products. thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
