On September 15th, the greatness that is Bumble and Bumble are launching a revamped and expanded Curl Conscious line of treatment and styling products for those of us blessed with curls.  Is anyone still getting perms?  I dunno, but I suspect this line will work just dandy for you too.

I am somewhat blessed with a thick head of hair that can either go wavy or straight.  My hair is the one thing that I don’t really have any complaints about.  I do like to wear it both ways, and it responds really well to products made for curly hair – brings out the natural curl (with the help of a little scrunching anyway).  So, this line is definitely something I will be trying, as I have never used Curl Conscious before, and am so dearly in love with Bb’s Hair Powder and Surf Spray – I must try more.

Here are the new/revamped products, all dressed up in their new paisley design:

Here are some specifics about the individual products, from Bumble and Bumble:

Naturally fragile, all curls need a soothing touch when washed and conditioned. Smoothing Shampoo and Smoothing Conditioner are universal, ultra-gentle formulas perfect for pampering any curl. Nourishing Masque offers a more intense
treatment for extra moisture and improved texture. Thirstier curl types can use it as a regular conditioner while finer locks can use it once a week as a pampering treat.
New Holding Foam and Reactivating Mist join our two best-selling Curl Cremes. Holding Foam is a genius gel-to-foam that provides definition without stickiness or stiffness for curls that crave a bit more support. Reactivating Mist is a reviving
concoction that enhances curl formation. It’s ideal for refreshing locks throughout the day and re-awakening styling benefits of previously-applied product. Use it solo on ultra-fine tresses or to hydrate on a non-shampoo day.

Smoothing Shampoo 8.5 oz. $20.00

Smoothing Conditioner 8.5 oz. $21.00

Nourishing Masque 5 oz. $24.00

Calming Creme 8.5 oz. $26.00

Defining Creme 8.5 oz. $26.00

Holding Foam 3.5 oz. $26.00

Reactivating Mist 8.5 oz. $20.00

Each product in this line is also available in a travel size – which is brilliant.  To order, please call 1.888.7Bumble or visit www.bumbleandbumble.com to find a Bb.Network Salon in your area or to order directly.  They also have a community web site for curly guys and gals coming soon at CurlConscious.com  – head on over there and sign up for the email notification when it launches. 

Man, I so wish there was a Bb.Network salon in my area.  The fact that I cannot order my products online, and there is no salon anywhere near me is my biggest (and really ONLY) gripe about Bb.  I have been informed that they are now selling online at BumbleandBumble.com – w00t! But, I make the effort – it is well worth it, and Im not going without my Hair Powder.  Ever.

On my whiny brain today is Bumble & Bumble.  *Why o why* do they not allow people to sell them online?  What is the point?  Is it diversion fears?  Maybe they just don’t *want* to have a thriving company that sells like mad.  I don’t know, but I sure wish they would reconsider that.  I have a few B&B things that I love and can’t live without, but the ordeal I have to go through to get them is just too much.

I have told you about their Hair Powder before.  I still think its a life saver when you need a color job and if you really need a hair washing, but just don’t have the time.

I also adore the Surf Spray.  After I do that elusive hair washing, my hair is so clean that it is flat to my head.  Surf Spray gives it that much needed life, and it is sooooooooo easy and quick.

Those two products are really the only things that make me go through the torture of hunting down B&B, and then trying new things while I am there.  I am so far not a great fan of their shampoos and conditioners (too expensive, not enough efficacy), and am using their Brilliantine shine spray now, and its *ok* but nothing different from a bunch of other similar products out there and nothing I would go through a ring of fire to obtain (like that hair powder…lol).  What do you all think about Bumble & Bumble – is it worth the effort?  Do I keep exploring?
