no boys allowed in the room!!!!

Thanks Jenny!

Right now I'm using Suave conditioners because they're cheap, and they work fine but they smell so incredibly strong. Fragrances don't usually linger in my hair, but these do––today I smell like coconuts.

XP I used to love Aussie products! I used to like all sorts of super–scented crap.

If they made frankincense-scented shampoo I would buy gallons of it.

Oh for real

hi ladies!

Wait is Aussie a brand, or are you guys generalising about our shitty shampoos? =)

It's a brand that's probably not Australian at all:

i love frankincense

in fact does anyone have experience with mixing essential oils into shamp/conditioner?

Julia, that's the kind of unscented conditioner I have used. I didn't love it, but I used it in conjunction with shampoo, so I can't speak to it as a c-wash conditioner.

Trayce, here is how the Aussie shampoo brand depicts your fellow citizens: as purple, hair-obsessed kangaroos.

wow i just got back from the flaming lips show, which was awesome, and
i'm always amazed at the extent the flaming lips go to show how much they love vaginas
they really really love them! in a really good way often bordering on worship! imo!
makes me happy to have one tbh

yyyeaahh Ive never seen that brand of hair products ANYWHERE in this country i dont think xpost.

I had a roommate who used to put a bunch of essential oils into her shampoo. mostly rose and patchouli. I had another friend who made a rinse/spray thing to get beach hair any time that was honey, salt water and lemon juice. Pretty yummy smelling.

salon selectives smells like candy and get nostalgic for high school when i smell it

halsa hair, discover your highlights

my mom used to use agree and i miss the smell of that too

what is 'beach hair'?

Oh I loved the way Aussie products smelled way back when, but I also used to love Tea Rose perfumes and all kinds of stinky things.

Salon selectives hairspray was what I used to cover up the smoke smell when I was sneaking cigs in high school. I now associate it with Mad Dog hangovers and too many smokes.

is salon selectives the one that smelled like fake apple smell? pinkish coral bottle?

Mad Dog hangovers and too many smokes.

that is what I meant by "nostalgic for high school". hee hee hee. yeah. the bottle was pink and it was very fruity/candy

it's what your hair is like after the beach. it's easier to shape, smells good, looks cool and is maybe a little bit lighter.

Beach hair is tousled, piecey, and messy and works best with wavy hair. Not such a great look on stick straight hair like mine.

I have the waves, tbh

beach hair is the first step on the short road to dreads for me!
(i have never let it get there tho! always break down and comb/wash after day 3 when camping/at a cottage w lake or sea).

my friend who is a hair stylist digs the salt-in-water 'hairspray' too

Seems like it would be awfully drying?

yeah it probably is which is why my hair feels sooo soft and nice when I wash it the day after the beach.

My hair is so gross at the beach! I have naturally curly hair and the beach makes it frizzy. I look like little orphan annie the second i step out on the sand.

i look like a sad drowned rat at the beach. my hair gets mad stringy and looks awful.

D:

Yeah so does mine but for a certain type of hair salt water can make it look pretty great.

I mean, I might have that certain type of hair but I also might think my hair looks better than it does. Someone looking at me strutting around after a beach day might say "that girl is a mess, why doesn't she do something?!"

nij, salon selectives makes me nostalgic for YOUR high school days

i was looking for some just a couple days ago and was sad to see it was not made anymore

i remember the jingle - like you just stepped out of a salon, salon selectives!

lol late-80s/early-90s no-layered wavey bobs... i knew thee well...

Ha, yes. The quest for that hair style is why I kept getting terrible perms.

I get nostalgic for Revlon's Aquamarine shampoo sometimes, and once dear Julia bought me a bottle! I used it sparingly over like a year to make it last. :D

I always used to beg my parents to buy Prell (because it came in a cool tube and was GREEN!) and my mom always refused, citing its similarity to dish soap. I do remember Agree. I also remember when people called it "cream rinse" instead of "conditioner."

oh cream rinse!
this makes me miss my mom

Cream rinse and conditioner are two different things.

speaking of 90s
i am wearing a skort i bought at h&m for $5
the last time i even considered wearing a skort i was in high school
having a "can i get away with this at my age" dilemma

when in doubt though, my answer is usually yes until i decide no
would not wear it to work obvs , but i am on vacation so fuck it
i'm wearing a skort

Saw some girl wearing a coral/orange skort with side buttons, on the subway yest. You'd think I would have done more of a double-take but I guess I'm getting used to hipster fashion repurposing, what with living on the L train now.

The way they're going lately, they'll be into quilted calico by fall. I mean it's too bad I got rid of any of that Little House on the Prairie stuff from junior high, I could sell it to Beacon's Closet for a mint.

like those bags i always see certain people carrying? they have a name, but i forget what it is

OH, you mean the Veronica Bradley or wahtever her name is. That's not exactly what I was thinking of -- for whatever reason the VB line is a favorite of upper-middle class Long Island/Upper East Sidey girls who go to their family's summer cottage on the weekends. The same kind of girls who always have Elsa Peretti-for-Tiffany's necklaces. Whereas the hipster thing I'm anticipating is more of the straight '80s mauve-and-"country kitchen blue" stencil motif.

hahaha omg that would be hilarious
bring it on

Like this but with more kitch:

More Laura Ashley than Vera Bradley?

x-post lol

In Jr High I had a corduroy blue and mauve floral print Laura Asley pants jumpsuit. It was God awful but I could actually sorta see some hipster fashion girl reclaiming that sort of thing.

SEE?? lololol

Which would N be AGL imo. Just felt the need to clarify that.

I think that "laura ashley" style has already hit central fl.

or maybe it never left?
