During these hotter months of the year - and trust me, here in Winnipeg June has been a bit of a scorcher - I definitely find that I have to wash my hair more often than I do in the colder months. During most of the year, I wash my hair every third day because I find that it helps maintain the natural oils that keep my hair and scalp from feeling dehyrdated. However, during the warmer months I have to wash my hair quite a bit more often, so I have to choose hair care products that account for that shift. Recently, I've been trying out the Dove Derma+Care Anti-Dandruff Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner, which I was really excited about because I've had such good luck with their more hydrating hair care products in the past.

Here's a true story... I am literally willing to try just about any hair care product if it smells like coconut. Well, that's not entirely true. I am willing to try just about any hair care product if it smells like nice smelling coconut. I don't like a really chemically coconut scent, I want something that has that rich, gorgeous, transports-you-to-the-islands type of scent. Obviously, I was super excited to try out the Marc Anthony Coconut Hair Care Products*. One of the things that always draws me to Marc Anthony products is that they're sulfate free, which is important to me personally because I do have coloured hair and I want it to last.

Recently, with very much appreciation to Glamsense, I had the opportunity to try out some hair products that I'd never tried before - the John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Shampoo, Conditioner, & Leave In Cream Primer*. John Frieda has actually been a long time favorite of mine and I've often repurchased the Brilliant Brunette products from their line because they did a great job of making my hair look healthy and shiny. Interestingly enough, these products arrived a couple of days before I decided that I wanted to experience curly hair and got a perm, so I've used them both in my natural straight, fine hair and my newly curly (completely out of my comfort zone styling wise) hair.

Sometimes I like to start these posts with little stories, and this is definitely one of those times. The first time I showered at my boyfriend's place, almost three years ago now, he only had two products in his shower. The first was a bottle of shampoo for dry scalp and the second was a bar of man soap. I'm still working on getting him to use skin care products, joking with him about how much older than me he's going to look as we age if he doesn't start throwing a little moisturizer and SPF on, but I've had no problem at all getting him to use Live Clean hair products - and he loves them! 

Recently, Live Clean released their Live Clean Mens Classic Clean Shampoo* and their Live Clean Shampoo 2-in-1*, and when they arrived at the house he was really excited to try them out.
