Name: Sexy Hair’s Pumpkin Shampoo & Conditioner
Purchased At: Marshalls
Price: $10 each
Availability: Year Round
A few years back, I found the pumpkin line of Sexy Hair products. I was so thrilled at the thought of my head smelling like a pumpkin pie that I was willing to overlook the incredibly high price tag. I chose the Pumpkin Whipped Soufflé Styling Crème. I think I went home that very night and tried it out. It was utterly disappointing. My hair was a gooey mess and didn’t smell anything like pumpkin. No, pumpkin smelling head for me, bummer!
With this history in mind, when I first heard about the Sexy Hair Pumpkin Shampoo and Conditioner was on sale at Marshalls ($10 each instead of the regular $20) I wasn’t inspired to promptly run down and buy them.
A year ago I was a firm believer in paying top quality for hair Bumble and Bumble; Redken, etc. My naturally curly hair demands moisture either to keep the curls from frizzing or to protect it from the super high heat of the flat iron. However, when Shannon and I moved in together and then had to plan a wedding in two weeks, money was tight and so I started using her $1.99 Suave hair conditioner. I honestly can’t tell the difference in my hair and so I’ve stuck with the cheap stuff.
First off, the stuff is still overpriced even at 50% off. It’s a big bottle but my hair still feels and looks the same as when I was using the cheap stuff. It doesn’t leave my hair any softer. Second, the scent is pleasant and does smell somewhat like pumpkin…more like a pumpkin pie. The shampoo smells better than the conditioner, which has a somewhat sour scent (Shannon disagrees, she feels the conditioner smells better). Lastly, my favorite part of the product is that the scent lingers but is not overpowering. Directly out of the shower the scent is strong but after my hair dries and I style it, the scent gets faint. Then, eventually I can’t smell it at all until I fluff my hair or it gets wet again. I don’t want such a strong scent so that by the end of the day I can’t stand the smell but I want to catch an occasional whiff of my hair and wonder who’s baking the pumpkin pie.
Overall, I enjoy the Sexy Hair Pumpkin Shampoo and Conditioner. However, once it’s gone I’ll probably go back to my $1.99 conditioner. Maybe not if it’s still $10; the more I use it the more I like it. Thanks for finding it, Chris!
