Textured Waves with a Flat Iron AKA AWESOME-POSSUM CURLS



SUPER COOL AWESOME POSSUM way to curl or wave hair with a flat iron! You don't need to know how to actually curl your hair with the flat iron (o:

1. twirl a strand of hair around 2 fingers into a donut-shape

2. extract fingers from the donut (or donut from the fingers)
3. clamp flat iron over the donut and hold for 10 seconds
4. release into palm of hand.

YAY!

Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo

Hello all! I know I haven't written a review in centuries...

I stripped myself of my Aussie virginity a few months ago, when I decided to try out this inexpensive and promising-looking bottle of Aussie's Aussome Volume Shampoo. From Aussie's website, it claims to be "infused with White Ginger, cleanses and helps boost hair that’s fallen flat."


I bought the 29.2 fl oz bottle from Walmart for less than $6.


PROS:

  • love the smell. It's like I dousing my hair in strawberries and apples.
  • gets your hair SQUEAKY clean. Literally.
  • it's cheap. obviously.
  • it gives some volume.
CONS:
  • Since the main purpose of this shampoo is to give volume, I don't think it does an adequate job at that. there is only a slight bit of noticeable volume, but it falls throughout the day and my hair returns to being flat. (but then again, I have extremely long hair, so maybe it just weighs itself down)
  • dries out the hair, unsuitable for people with dry scalps
Overall, I give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars! not too Aussome in my opinion, but for the price, it's pretty Possum. (get it? awesome-possum? hahahahah)
