About Me

My photo
I’m 21 and a senior in college! I attend a school that’s in Indiana, but I’m originally from Missouri. My original purpose for this blog, when I was 18, was to share beauty tips and reviews, but as soon as I started blogging I began including other things as well like product reviews for items that I planned to take to college. Then I actually started college and pretty much lost track of the blog. Now that a few years have passed, I hope to begin blogging again but with new ideas in mind. Because of this, I’m thinking about changing the name of the blog, but I have yet to decide on a new name. Some of the new things I plan on discussing involve college and how to practice effective time management skills, how to get things organized, classes, health, and fitness.

Matrix Sleek.Look

Matrix Sleek.Look Shampoo and Conditioner

I think I started using this shampoo/conditioner set maybe a year ago, probably a little longer. I have to say, I've used drugstore brands of shampoo and conditioner as well as salon brands. This is probably the best salon brand, or at least the brand I like the most. I use the sleek.look set because I have really dry hair and this makes my hair look more shiny as opposed to dry. When I first started using it though, it did make my hair look oily until I figured out the right amount of product to use in my own hair. I was using a lot of it, like the amount of drugstore brand I would use. Then I started using the pumps for these bottles and I do about 5-8 pumps of shampoo depending on how much is left in the bottle and less for the condition- about 5 pumps. Those amounts leave my hair looking shiny and healthy and so I really like it. I used to only use this when I wanted to do anything with my hair- straighten or curly it. I would use just a drugstore brand for everyday washing. I now use this set every time I wash and wash at most every two days sometimes I can go three if it's not hot out and I don't feel like it needs washed. It's way healthier for your hair if you can go two or more days between washes but I know some people have scalp conditions or just oily hair and they kind of have to wash everyday. If you do have oily hair though, dry shampoos would be something to try to see if you can maybe get two days in between washes, because it really is best for your hair.
So what I do is use the shampoo and then when the conditioner is in my hair I take my brush and brush through to make sure I get really even coverage and that way I also don't have to brush my hair after I get out of the shower.  I find that if I brush when it's dry sometimes it causes breakage. I also don't like to brush after I straighten my hair because it seems like it makes it not as sleek to me. So yea, I really just like brushing in the shower. When I get out I usually let it dry on its own with only a little towel drying, I don't even blow dry my hair that often because I feel like that's really damaging in conjunction with straightening or curling.
By the way that picture is showing the shampoo and conditioner in a shower caddy I picked up at target for $2.50 for college and I was checking to make sure that they fit in it. Oh, and one of them has the $11.98 sticker on it because Beauty Brands is having their liter sale right now! SO if you want to try this set out I would definitely go pick it up or even another salon brand that you like because that liter sale was still going on on Saturday when I went.
