I spend a lot of money on hair care products - after everything I have been through with my hair, I feel like it is totally justified and, to coin a phrase "I'm worth it!" That said, if I could only use two brands for the rest of my life they would be (1) mother nature -- i.e., my hair would be nothing without my yogurt masques, castor oil, rosemary oil, arnica, etc. and ... drum roll .. (2) Hollywood Beauty products -- yup, I will not be without my HB Tea Tree Oil (in bottle) and my HB Castor Oil (in green and white jar) and, when I was weaving it up, I swore by HB's Olive Oil Cream (in green jar). Mind you, I am ROUTINELY in the level 6 customer club at Ulta and will buy almost anything I see on here that has rave reviews - price (even if I have to save/postpone) is irrelevant. That said, Hollywood Beauty is the one that I have nightmares about the company disappearing.
