Hey Christy...

Yeah I have...I did like MOP but I wasn't blown away by it for the price - I didn't use the curly range though, I tried something else but I can't remember why now...but I will keep MOP in mind if Miessence doesn't come through for me. I was using MooGoo for quite a while but it's not as effective as it used to be and then switched to one called Mastey (no SLS, no parabens etc etc) which was fine during pregnancy but post-pregnancy is just not doing it for me...which is why I find myself in Shampoo No-Mans-Land at the moment.

I've kind of done the no-poo thing before - just trying conditioner only or washing with Beauty and the Bees and just rinsing with apple cider vinegar but I hated the feel of my hair...it's very fine and I've got a LOT of it so it just got very tangly and prone to breakage. Maybe I didn't persevere for long enough.

However my hair is SO BAD at the moment that I reckon I can stick out the detox stage this time...it can't get too much worse.

I don't know what it is but since having DS my skin has been much more sensitive and now with DD as well it seems even more so. I've been used to being able to put just about anything on my skin so having a DH and kids with sensitive skin has been an eye-opener...and now I have even more sympathy for them, finding myself in a similar boat.

Gee, I really do have high hopes...it's getting to be an expensive little business, all this experimenting with products. DH hasn't said anything yet but I wouldn't blame him if he did LOL.
