Drugstore Shampoo is the Devil!

Wraps are officially the coolest hairstyle we have learned so far because they turn out with completely ridiculous volume that even Snooki would be jealous of.

This is the finished flat wrap. Unfortunately, I wasn't neat enough in the crown area and I had to wet a small section and dry it to sit correctly, so that killed a little bit of the volume. But oh boy, if I was ever disappointed in the volume of the flat wrap, the doobie wrap certainly made up for it.

This is my almost-finished doobie wrap. I did a little more tweaking with a flat iron and some teasing to blend the crown after I took this picture, but you get the idea. 

We had an extra long night in theory on Thursday because we did some pH experiments with drugstore shampoos like Pantene, Dove, Suave, and Herbal Essences. 

Naturally, hair has a pH of 5. While some extreme pHs are required for certain chemical services, ideally we don't want to use shampoo and conditioner that strays too far from a pH of 5. For instance, if your shampoo is a 6, you would want to use a conditioner with a pH of 4 to balance you hair.

Of all the brands we tested, no shampoo/conditioner set would balance the pH of your hair. We did conclude that Tresemme was the best drugstore brand, though! My philosophy on hair care is this: you wear your hair every day, so why not spend a little more money on it?
