My Poor Hair

Less than two weeks after posting about Suave, and I've got to recant. It isn't working for me. Although I haven't noticed negative effects on my color, I've been dealing with subtle changes in texture. And we can't have that.

It's the humidity, you know. I could maybe get away with the Suave if I lived in Utah or some other desert area. Did you know that lots of people think Texas is dry? They are half right: the Western half.

Side note: a friend's husband once scoffed at me when I described Dallas's humidity. He let me know just how ignorant I was, how it couldn't be that humid, since we're not located next to a large body of water. I know, charming...

Dallas has a humid subtropical climate, though it is located in a region that also tends to receive warm, dry winds from the north and west in the summer, bringing temperatures well over 100 °F (38 °C) at times and heat-humidity indexes soaring to as high as 117 °F (47 °C). When only temperature itself is accounted for, the north central Texas region where Dallas is located is one of the hottest in the United States during the summer months, usually trailing only the Mojave Desert basin of Arizona, southern Nevada, and southeastern California.

Thanks, Wikipedia!

Anyway, back to the shampoo: I might have to go get some Biolage or Joico -- two more-affordable brands I've used in the past. They keep my hair moisturized and manageable without gooping up the texture. (Does that even make sense?)

Note from the other side: have you seen the Biolage and Bumble & Bumble products at Target? What is up with that? Usually those brands fall under the umbrella of "do not purchase unless from a salon" but Target seems a bit large to be dealing with disreputable black market shampoo.

Discuss.

And leave your shampoo recommendations below, please. My hair thanks you.
