JelloDear, you may be on to something there. I got a decent hair cut and forked out a few buckaroos for some salon calibre products (on sale of course since I am on a budget). Totally suprised that the smoothing serums actually work and now my hair not only looks gobs better, but my head smells like watermelon candy! Ohhh baby! 

you can never go wrong with expensive styling.

Well, I'd say my hair is pretty long, down to the middle of my back. I have had my hair styled once and I just loved it...back when I lived in LA and was treated to a very expensive hair cut. It was short, sassy, edgy and very Sharon Stone circa 1990's.
