Acure haircare at home with my teas. And how do you like that brush holder? |
I was running my fingers through my hair after the first lather and rinse, and I just melted because oh my gosh it was so soft. I have straight, chest-length Asian hair that is usually quite dry on the first day and oily the second (made acceptable-looking with dry shampoo). But, I didn’t realize how coarse and dry my hair was getting until I started using Acure’s Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. From the first wash and on, my hair has just been so soft and happy in the winter cold. The shampoo and conditioner both have sort of an almond-y scent which I don’t mind. Typically, I massage a quarter amount of shampoo onto my scalp only, and figure the ends will get cleaned when I rinse. Then, I condition from ears down only with a double quarter amount since my scalp gets oily quick. I first tried this power pair at home over winter break and wanted to take it away with me back to school, but you know, liquid rules on the plane and no room in the carry-on, so the first thing I did when I got back was to have a hamburger and fries at Five Guys take a walk to Whole Foods to pick up these beauties for $10.99 each.
