I think it's working. Minh is less distracted by my frizzies during staff meetings, which means he's more focused on his work, which means he's more productive, which means he'll most certainly be receiving a huge raise any minute how (just checking to see if Cate still reads this thing).
The thing that takes some getting used to with this new "system" is that there is no actual shampoo. No, no, "shampoo" is now a dirty word (much like in Minh's first Christmas letter). Instead I use the "cleansing conditioner" that does not strip my hair of its natural oils. Bottom line? My hair feels a little greasier than I'm used to. But I guess the grease is what keeps the frizzies away, right?
My hair is indeed less frizzy, though I can't attribute it to any one part of the "system." It could be the cleansing conditioner, or the leave-in conditioner, or the styling creme. But it's certainly not the intensive hair repair mask or the texture balm because I have yet to use either one of those. Yes, this "system" is really a bit much to handle. Especially for someone who used a 2-in-1 shampoo for years.
I have since cancelled my membership in the system because I have more than enough styling creme and can buy the cleansing conditioner on amazon.com. And I have never been comfortable with signing up for any "club" that will automatically bill me for my monthly supply of whatever. I never even joined Columbia House to get my 10 CDs for a penny.
Would I recommend it? Sure, if your frizzies are negatively impacting your life or the life of a loved one, go ahead and try it out. But I think you can probably get away with just the basic bottle of stuff from amazon.
