Shampoo, conditioner and styling products

[okeydokey]

My friend is a stylist and she says if you find product like Paul Mitchell in a store like Target it is there illegally because Paul Mitchell does not authorize anything but salons to sell his products. She said the ones in the supermarkets or box stores are usually old or counterfeit.


My favorite is the Bed Head line. You used to be able to get the big bottles 2 for 25, and it lasted forever so a great deal. I haven't seen that size in a while, but when I do see it in Target it is no cheaper than at the salon.

Good product really does make a difference in your hair (well in mine anyway).

WHATEVER...I wasn't rude. I nicely told OP that there was no such word as boughten. I would like to know if I was not speaking properly. We set examples for our children and adults need to learn to speak correctly. Judge Judy came down on a lady the other day for saying tooken.

.....

Ooooh, what channel is YOUR show on??

FYI, i also thought it was rude. But, otoh, I will also correct my friends' grammar if they are wrong. But I don't think I would correct a stranger's.

I NEVER buy stuff at a salon. I usually get my HBA for next to or NOTHING at CVS or Wag's.

But some Targets have Salons. that is how they get around it. And the prices are most time the same. Trade Secrets also have a "salon" in there stores.

I've been told that when you see salon brands anywhere other than a salon, they are likely to be old or counterfeit. But honestly, I've never had any problem with them (On the other hand, the two products I bought lately whose spray nozzles didn't work? Both came from salons. ) I don't buy them on a regular basis, because I never find them to be cheaper than the same product at a salon, and because the particular products I use don't turn up on grocery store shelves very often. But if I happen to need something and happen to see it on the shelf, I'll pick it up for convenience. Trade Secret, Ulta, and the salons inside stores such as Walmart and Target do have actual salons on site and therefore should be selling "legitimate" product.

I use mainly Giovanni products. I shop on www.mothernature.com when I can find a code for 15-20% with free shipping and stock up 3-4 times a year. I shop through Sunshine Rewards to get cash back too. I use Giovanni because they're paraben free and I LOVE their products. It took a lot of trial and error to find a good natural shampoo that didn't dry out my hair or leave it feeling dirty and was under $10.

I use Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo (leaves a cool, tingly feeling on the scalp), Giovanni Shine of the Times (a wonderful smelling spray I use after I'm done curling or straightening which offers no hold it just makes the fly-aways go away and adds shine), Giovanni Frizz Be Gone Serum (I use a dime size amount on my damp hair before I blow dry it), Earth Science Olive & Avocado Deep Conditioning Masque (I use daily as I am not a natural blonde and my hair needs the moisture), Giovanni DTox Purifying body wash (they use volcanic ash and other stuff but I just love the smell, that it doesn't dry my skin out, and it's pretty cool that it's black!), and earth science clarifying face wash. I get each of these for about $4-7 each and they're all paraben free and without a lot of the chemicals and sulfates that other products have.

I buy my styling products at the supermarket, retail store and Sally's.

Does anyone use WEN or any other sulfate free products? I'm still trying to decide if I like Sally's takeoff on it "Hair One." I can't use it everyday... I feel like my hair is dirty. When I do use it, people always tell me my hair looks really good.

As far as the "grammar police," I like when people correct me (in a nice way please). Boughten is in the dictionary but I never saw it used before.

I hate:

Clearanced (not in the dictionary). I say "on clearance."
Should of - Should have; Would of - Would have; Could of - Could have
I seen - I have seen or I saw

I've made the mistake of using "irregardless" and someone corrected me on these boards years ago. I didn't know that was improper usage of the world "regardless."

Proper grammar is have you bought. There is no such word as boughten.

Really. . . well if you want to be so picky - you should have written, "there isn't ANY such word as boughten."

 

[Mimi1965]

Does anyone have a Drug Emporium in their Town?
They have an amazing collection of regular and salon hair products

I dont buy that baloney that you have to buy at a salon or they are "no good"-that's ploy salons use

I used to LOVE that store! They all went out of business years ago here in SE WI.

and not ONLY is it a word (surprises me, tho!), its origins date back to the late 18th century.

how rude!

Usually salon brands don't have the same quality when you purchase them in drugstores or grocery stores. I have picked some up from TJ Maxx and think they're just fine, though. I have always loved using Nexxus products and was thrilled when they came down in price and started selling in grocery stores! Still the same great product for about half the price.



There IS such a word as boughten. It's not proper to use as a verb, but it's used as a common regional dialect in some areas. There's something to be said for appreciation of regional dialects, rather than everyone in the country speaking in a standard dialect. It would be a boring place if everyone spoke, looked and acted the same.

I wonder what Miss Manners has to say about correcting others' outside a classroom.

HOLY COWdont read any of my posts!, I am sure you could start a new thread with all my mistakes

 

[cvrapclark]

I was just thinking about this the other day. For some reason, I always bring home all the extra bottles that you get in hotels (including Disney, of course). Why I do this, I don't know. I had ran out of shampoo and thought I am just going to start using those little bottles. Well, after a couple of days, I could barely blow-dry my hair. I have long hair. I found a huge bottle of Rusk shampoo that I had bought on sale at Hairmasters, so I'm using that until I have time to go to a salon or Ulta. Got to have good shampoo here. But this is the first time I'd heard that places that carry the good products like Target might not have the same strength. Interesting!!

Oh, I'm a court reporter and I would never correct someone on a message board. When you're typing, it's easy to use bad grammar just like when you are talking. There were even a few mistakes in the message that the "grammar police" posted. My teachers used to constantly get onto me!! Hated it!!

I find this exceptionally humorous because it's never dawned on me that 'clearanced' was not a word, yet hearing someone say 'irregardless' is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

However, trying to correct grammar on a message board is a futile task. It would be like trying to move a mountain with a teaspoon.

Yes, "boughten" harkens back to a time when many folks made their own clothes, hats, soap, brooms, etc.
Laura Ingalls Wilder used the word on many occasions in her books,
and I can't imagine anyone saying that she used poor grammar.

In rural areas words like "boughten" and "outen" (as in "outen the light" instead of "turn out (or off) the light.") still are used especially by the older generation.

I agree with PP who said that it's the colloquial differences that make language in the different parts of our world interesting.

Southern U.S.(y'all), Northeastern U.S., Scots,
MidWestern U.S.(you betcha!), Aussie, etc, all are charming in their own way.
We all speak English but the local differences are part of what we all enjoy.
What fun would it be to travel to Scotland if they all sounded just like we do at home?

Don't be surprised to see the word "boughten" make a comeback...
I always used boughten laundry detergent,
but this weekend I'm going to make my own at much less cost.
I may never use boughten detergent again!
Lots of families are making and using home-made household products these days.
(I'll be looking for a shampoo recipe next, lol)
Of course, for those who like to gild the lily, you can just call it
"all-natural, hand-made" and sell it to the city folks for an extra $5.

I am not Miss Manners but I am Miss Empathy-and-Compassion-for-Others...
I find it very bad form to correct someone on a public forum. Why would someone do that? But, I feel bad saying it because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings even though s/he came down on the OP!

OP, even if it isn't proper usage it, I have heard it in spoken language. We in the corn belt have lots of colorful regional language!

I am not a bit afraid to use products from discounters. I am also not afraid to pick up a bottle of Suave from the local Walmart, though, lol!

This made me laugh! My great grandma used to say "outen the light" as well as "read (pronounced "red") up a room" instead of clean up a room.

Back to the original post, I use whatever I get free from CVS. Although, I do stick (no pun intended) with BedHead's Manipulator paste. It runs about $18/can, but my last purchase was on Ebay. I paid $21 for 3 cans!

 

[mafibisha]

I do try to correct my child's grammar but not a stranger's, even when it really bugs me. If I were to correct their grammar, they may feel the need to correct my manners. Just saying.

Once again to this post its more the really long run on sentences that bug me with no punctuation whatsover I would never correct someone here though trying to change grammar on the internet is like tying to move mountains with silverware someone else said before I really agree



Also as I said before in this thread I have bigger fish to fry this is an expression used around in this region of the united states I don't know if y'all heard it before I don't think most of you care either

Does it bother anyone else that a hair products thread has taken this turn?

I was looking to see where you were from. A lot of people where I live (PA) say "red up" and "boughten," though I've never heard outen. Seems like Pennsylvania Dutch to me, but I'm not sure.

 

[superme80]

I have only purchases hair gel from a salon once. It was after I cut my VERY curl waist length hair to a bob and I needed to tame it. Now I just use garnie frutrisse <sp> when I actually do put gel in my hair. The shampoo and condition I use is an organic brand I found at Grocery Outlet. It smells awesome and makes my hair all nice and soft.

 

[ILoveMyGirls]

we buy our shampoo and conditioner in huge bottles from Costco. shampoo and conditioner such as Pantene.

i used to buy my products from salons when i made six figures BUT i am handicapped now and can't work so no more salon shampoos for me.
