Does the Aveda pomade smell like the other Aveda stuff? I've heard lots of people say they love Aveda's Be Curly, but the scent made me think of Skin So Soft...which reminds me of bug repellent

I am much more picky now than I used to be--when I was younger I had waist-length hair and my mom cut it! But shorter definitely demands a better hairstylist--lord knows I've walked out of a salon crying many times by now.

I can't stand Aveda's smell. I like B&B way better.

I've also decided that I've given up on not shampooing my hair every day. I like the way my hair feels when overly soaped. So there it is.

Grace is irking the crap out of me today I got her all plugged into machines and then she tells me she had to go to the bathroom. This is the medically fragile kid version of a kid in a snowsuit. I had to unplug her and carry her to the bathroom.

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Also, the death star pinata required glitter. Suffice it to say the whole house is aglitter, even though I applied the glitter outside.

I am philosophical about bad cuts, because my hair grows like kudzu.

Does the Aveda pomade smell like the other Aveda stuff?

Nope. Most of their stuff gives me a massive headache. And a rash. This has a really light, almost floral, almost out-of-reach smell.

What's B&B?

Bumble and Bumble.

I can't stand Aveda's smell.

I like it, for a couple hours, though I am likely being mauled by Loki (and maybe Pumpkin) all the while. Then it starts a headache, even as I find the smell pleasant. It's odd.

Someone set off a glitterbomb at the Y. It was everywhere.

Also, Walt came back with an estimate to fix the ceiling hole and fix up my porch posts (which involves making all 4 of them support the roof,rather than the 2!! and make them pretty and matching): $275. Um YES. I think I might've found myself a househusband!

Sounds like a deal, sara!

Bumble and Bumble

Don't know anything about them.

Huh. I just went to google "aveda anti humectant" and one of the suggestions was "aveda anti humectant black hair". Apparently it's a thing. Who knew? And, man, isn't "black" hair (or, as le n would put it a bit more clearly, Black hair) vague as all get out.

For some reason, I was originally told to get humectant, but I didn't like the smell or texture, and since I had so little hair and didn't know what I was doing, I went 180, and it turned out to be just the right answer. And, apparently, A Thing.

Most of Aveda's scents are pretty bad for me, and their lipsticks sting and make me break out. I used to use their face washes--those were pretty good, but I like Mario Badescu better now, and so do my pores.

My neighbor told me Walt was 75% cheaper than he anticipated. Uh, yeah and then some?
