Not Your Mother's - New Products

I must first confess, I love Not Your Mother's dry shampoo. It's one of my favorites that I purchase over and over again. So when I had the opportunity to try some other products from the line, I was all in.

I have been growing my hair out for over a year now. And now that it's gotten long, I am really concerned about the ends staying nice, free from split ends or getting too dried out and looking like straw. That's not a good look for anyone!

However, I tend to have oilier hair that is fine, so the conditioners I choose are normally on the light side to not add to the oily mess that my hair can become, and also not weigh down my fine hair. It's a balance. And Way To Grow delivers!

Way To Grow is a spray leave-in conditioner. It smells great, too! It's not too heavy, not too light. I believe I'm getting the benefit of my hair being easier to comb through, protection for heat styling, and the added benefit of having it stay in my hair all day to continue protecting my hair. I can't see any downside to this! (And it's easy on your wallet at $6 a bottle.)

After I have my conditioner set, I have been trying out Plump For Joy, which is a thickening hair lifter. I can't lie, I was skeptical. How can it both thicken and lift? Well, it can! I put some on the roots and about halfway down my hair. For best results, I'd recommend drying your hair upside down to increase the volumizing effect. And about that thickening? I could really tell a difference when I pulled my hair up into a pony. I was a little shocked!

So, this product might not be a good fit for those of you lucky ladies with already thick, voluminous hair - but it's a win for those of us who struggle with limp, lifeless, thin or fine hair. Again, it's only $6!

Both of these products (and more from the line) are available nationally at CVS, Ulta and Walmart.

Let me know what you think if you try them!
