I consider myself an intelligent woman. I have learned over the years to take most things I hear with a grain of salt. However, there is one thing I am a complete sucker for - infomercial products. Most things I can look at and dismiss, but there are a few that I just have to have!!!! I'm not talking about the Billy Maze and Shamwow guy commercials - most of that stuff is just junk.

Example - the Kymaro body shaper. Looks wonderful on the commercial, right? You should have seen me trying to put that thing on - I was dancing around the room, shaking one leg and then the other, going around in circles. Then it's on, and I stand up straight, which you have to do because otherwise it would cut off the flow of blood to your legs. Anyway, it looked good, and I walked proud - until I had to pee. Then I had to do the jig all over again in a cramped ladies room stall. Even then I couldn't get it pulled up all the way and you ladies know what I mean when I talk about the panty hose crotch gap - very uncomfortable.

My favorite find is the Wen Hair Care System. OMG!!! That really works! I have wavy/curly, color treated hair. If I blow dry it straight, I still have a little bit of frizz going on. If I leave it curly, it looks good for a little while and then goes limp. Then I saw the commercial, and knew I had to try it. I didn't want to get roped into a program where they send it to me every few months and bill my credit card, so I looked on e-bay and found it. It is basically a conditioner - that's it. It's not a shampoo. I did the treatment, and I have the softest, most manageable hair I've ever had in my life! It has body and bounce, my hair color has not faded - it's wonderful!! After a few weeks, I ran out of product. So I was desparately searching for something similar that wouldn't cost as much. Wen is very expensive, and I'm honestly ashamed of how much I spent for a haircare product.

After doing some research online, I learned I could use any conditioner. For the past three weeks, I have been using conditioner only in my hair. I found that Tresseme (sp?) works the best. You need to use quite a bit - a palm-size amount for shoulder-length hair. When you first get in the shower, Massage it into your hair and scalp for 1-2 minutes, use a wide-tooth comb to comb it through your hair, then leave it in your hair the remainder of your shower. Rinse, rinse, and rinse some more, and then style as usual. I have no more frizz and my hair is very soft and clean. It's not greasy at all, but it is hydrated.

I'm not trying to sell a product, but this is something that has really worked for me, and I'd like to see if it works for anyone else.
