PRODUCT RAVE - ORS Replenishing Conditioner

I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVE this conditioner by Organic Root Salon. I decided to try it for 2 reasons....

1) detangling has become more and more of a hassle, & a friend (*waves @ Outtie*) said it was great for detangling, and

2) with my hair newly colored AND me having used the last of my Miss Jessie's Buttercream, I was in need of some serious moisture

Man...this condish definitely takes care of both! It smells GREAT (like freshly sliced oranges), has a lot of natural ingredients, and keeps my hair moisturized & frizz free. I use it to detangle, then add a little more after my final rinse and use it as a leave-in.

It's kind of expensive ($11 for about 23oz), but its sooooo worth it, and you can find it at Sally's.

So yeah...if you have dry hair, see about it! :)

What is This Endless Tresses Thing Anyway??

Ok...so I've never really thought of myself as the blogging type of person. I'm just a regular, average curly girl with hair A.D.D. whose friends got tired of random phone calls and IMs about my most recent hair adventures, and suggested I create a blog to share my stories with the world (shout out to FH for the idea).



I don't claim to be an expert on anything...I'm just sharing my experiences, and maybe 1 or 2 of you will be able to avoid some of years of experimentation I've done in finding out what works. So here's a little bit about me...



Currently, I have natural (ie non chemically straightened), colored, thick hair with MAJOR shrinkage (from almost shoulder length curly to bra strap + length straight). I like to call myself a hair chameleon...I switch up hair styles several times a week and I've been known to cut, color, or make other drastic changes on a whim. Over a 20 year time span I've been (in this order) natural, relaxed, natural, texturized, and natural again. I've done permanent color (both professionally done & DIY), highlights, and semi-permanent color. Style-wise, I've pretty much done everything except weaves & wigs...and if you give me enough time, I may do those eventually too! :)



I do feel its important to note that I am natural for no reason other than I just felt like being natural right now...its not to make a social statement, or to get closer to my roots, or to get healthier hair...its just because that's what I was feeling at the time...and its something I've managed to stick with for almost 4 years now.



So that's it about me. I also listed some of my staple products to the right...you'll definitely be hearing more about how I used those in the future. Feel free to take your shoes off, kick back, relax, and enjoy my space. Since I'm new to the blogosphere, I'm still playing around with the look of things, so bear with me as things may keep changing for the next few weeks.



Enjoy!
