I am generally not a huge fan of dry shampoos and I am still waiting for someone to come out with something that doesn't leave white residue and what looks like dandruff once it sticks to your hair oils. This is really no different than any other dry shampoo out there. It still comes out with that white chalk look and if I scratch my head at all it looks like I have bad dandruff. It's okay for a quick fix if you are too lazy to wash your hair on the weekend and don't have plans to go out, but it's definitely not something I would put in my hair and go to work or out for long periods. It doesn't leave my hair with any sort of clean feeling. If anything it makes it feel more dirty and weighed down. Could someone please come out with a dry shampoo that doesn't leave white stuff behind and actually makes my hair feel refreshed?

I had been wanting to try an electric toothbrush for ages but the cost has kept me from actually trying one. This is a reasonably priced alternative to having an electric toothbrush. It cleans well and makes me feel like I'm getting a deeper clean compared to a manual toothbrush. I find it a bit too large for my mouth so I don't feel like I'm completely getting all the little hard to reach areas. I have a smaller mouth size so it would be nice if this came in a smaller format.
There are some things worth mentioning that mean I will not want to bother purchasing this brush or the replacement heads. First off it's LOUD! Super loud. My roommate complains about how loud it is as it can literally be heard through closed doors. Second it's quite bulky. It takes batteries which makes it much larger when compared to other chargeable brushes. Of course for the price I can't really expect it to be something I can plug in, but that also means it makes this brush impossible to be portable as it's not convenient to travel with. It's also sometimes hard to get a good hold on it because of the size of the handle. It's also pretty heavy due to the batteries so it would not be the most ideal travel brush.
Overall it was a good low cost electric brush to test out to see if I would ever consider purchasing a rechargeable one in the future. There are just too many issues with it for me to want to continue buying replacement heads and using this one. I'll be investing a bit more money on a good electric brush that is more lightweight, easy to travel with, and that doesn't sound like an airplane taking off when it's on.

Dove Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo

Where do I begin with dry shampoos...My first experience was about four years ago during a hospital stay in which I couldn't shower for a week. My mom had picked up something new she found at the drug store which was a dry shampoo. Of course it turned my hair white and clumped into what looked like extremely bad dandruff and so I never used it again. I was excited to try this product hoping that in the last four years since my first experience they would have found a way to perfect dry shampoo. I have been trying to wash my oily hair less to prep it for a red dye job so this package came at the right time as I was looking for a way to keep my hair from looking greasy in between washes. Honestly they haven't perfected dry shampoo enough for me yet. I do love the idea and wish something was available that didn't turn white or hold onto the oil and turn it into white dandruff flakes. Unfortunately the Dove dry shampoo goes on white, takes forever to rub away the traces of white powder, and then gives me what looks like dandruff. The only redeeming quality is that at least this smells really nice.

I'm not usually one to wear a lot of product in my hair so this one was a challenge for me to try out. I used it for a night out and was quite impressed with how lightweight it is. I'm not sure how well it would hold up to say using it to set curled hair or anything, but it helped keep my flyaways in check for a night out. I'm still undecided if I would actually purchase this product since I would use it rarely, but it is nice to have it in my stock of hair items just in case.

At first I was sort of afraid to test this product out because I have naturally greasy hair. I do have dry damaged ends from straightening my hair daily so I tested this product out on the ends only. I really love this product after using it. It makes my hair look and feel healthier and I don't feel it in my hair which is a huge plus for me. I have tried hair oils and treatments before but I could always feel the slick oils in my hair and felt like it weighed everything down and made it feel dirty like I needed to jump in the shower and clean my hair. This product will last awhile for me since I apply it only to the ends. I do feel the product size would be a bit too small for someone with long hair that is dry all over but for those who need ends treatment only this is the perfect size.

The conditioner pairs very well with the shampoo in giving me shiny hair that isn't greasy or weighed down. I did notice that this shampoo reduced the amount of static I was dealing with during the cold winter days, and it made my dry ends look nourished and healthier so I can keep procrastinating that hair cut I am overdue for.

I received this product to review through the review club. Previous to this I was using another brand of toothpaste and brushing my teeth with that and a bit of added baking soda right after drinking things that stain like coffee. My teeth do tend to stain easily so brushing with baking soda is important for me to be able to keep my teeth from being stained in between dentist visits. This is a great all in one product that does work well compared to my previous method and eliminates the need for me to add baking soda to my brush as I was with the previous toothpaste I was using. -

I always avoid mouth wash because of that burning sensation the alcohol causes. I am very happy that this does not burn and makes me feel like using it religiously instead of trying it once and then being too afraid to try again. I like that it feels like it's adding a protective layer to my teeth after rinsing with it. I can definitely see why it says to wait 30min before eating and drinking after since it does feel like it leaves something behind on your teeth to aid in the protection of your teeth.

I received the package to test out from chickadvisor on Friday and immediately tossed my old toothbrush since it needed to be replaced but I have been too lazy to venture to the store and weed through a million toothbrushes to find one reasonably priced.
This toothbrush is actually pretty great! I do find it a tad too big for my mouth still, but I am hoping maybe I get used to it at some point. I really love the tongue scraper and the rubber parts on the sides. They clean out everything stuck in my teeth and leave me feeling almost like I just left the dentist.
