Hairsense bone combs

Hairsense seriously makes the worst combs imaginable.

I've written about it before, how bad, no, seriously incredibly bad these combs are and how weird and/or stupid the owner is.
So I guess it was a serious error on my part to think that the one comb from the order that I have never, ever, ever used would be suitable to keep in my backpack as a backup comb.
For the first time since I bought it, I intended to use it. And what do I immediately spot?


The biggest, nastiest, hair-shreddiest split in a tooth that I have ever seen in a comb.


So here is my updated review of Hairsense bone combs:
It would be friendlier for your hair to dip it in a blender.
And it would be wiser to spend your money on setting it on fire.

No matter what the model name was for this comb, I have a better suggestion...

*drumroll*


I crack myself up.

Today's hair

Two "French" braids wrapped around a Ketylo in that Chinese bun pattern and secured with an extra Ketylo.

Today's hair

Three braids with a bit of "French", that I'm going to wrap around into a single bun tomorrow.

Stuhr hair protection spray

I randomly stumbled upon this in a supermarket in Denmark.
Now, I've seen a lot of products boasting of sun protection. Usually, they have none. They are of course free to claim all the sun protection they want to, since it doesn't seem to be regulated like it is for skin products. So "sun protection" in a hair products means absolutely nothing.

But what caught my attention with this one, was the super specific claim of "SPF 20". So of course I had to buy it and check.


This thing stinks like alcohol. Like, stinks, yuck.
But I could forgive it if it holds up to the claim.


Ingredient list
Alcohol denat., C12-15, alkyl benzoate, octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, diethylhexl butamido triazone, acrylates/ethylhexylacrylamide, copolymer, cyclopentasiloxane, parfum, tocopheryl acetate, limonene, linalool.

I had a good laugh at the "parfum" in this one. It might be the first time I've ever said this, but damn, this thing needs some more!


COSDNA provides me with this analysis.

And wow, it actually looks like this might have some serious sunscreen going on?
5 ingredients out of 14 are functional sunscreens. Really not bad!!
The denatured alcohol is of course a concern, but since the product does seem to be packing some serious sun protection, I'm actually willing to overlook it.
It's actually the only ingredient that makes me concerned in the ingredient list: Nothing in red, no acne triggers and only the one irritant.

Since this is a spray meant for hair, I should be able to avoid getting too much of this on my skin anyways.

But my verdict is that I'm pleasantly surprised. This spay might just deliver what it promises!
SPF 20, maybe not. But some serious SPF, yes.
So I will buy a second one of this and keep one in my shoulder bag and one at home in my haircare stash.
