Less is more, I'd rather my hair be soft than defined... since it just goes up in a bun and gets ruined anyway

Though I am very curious about the salves, I tried the sample pack of them back in the day before I had my routine fully figured out, so they ended up being too heavy because I was already using other products. I wonder if they would be light enough to pair with the leave-in of the conditioner bar that I'm currently doing.

I think that you should try a sample size once it's been released. I think that if you just find a small enough amount to add, to your hair, it could work

I think- as shocking as this is to me- I may actually like the Aamon oil more than my beloved Nesah!?!
And I can already tell I'm going to love the Tenderhead Tranquility, since I have bad migraines and everything in it seems to help them!
The Alluvial jar is so adorable!

That is a great haul! I haven't tried Nesah, but it's on my list to try. I had a sample of Aamon and it smelled so good!

Don't think I've tried Aamon before, but I do have a bottle of nesah, so now you've made me curious to try out Aamon as well.

I'm really looking forward to it! Selkie smells so nice!

It sure does!

The sample came in a week or two ago and it smells amazing! I haven't really gotten a chance to experience the extent of the detangling benefits (explained below), but I would buy it again as a perfume, haha.

Unfortunately, the spray bottle has a bit of a malfunction. When I press it down, it will spray, but it won't pop back up and I have to manually pull it back up into the ready position. It makes it tough when my hands start to get slick with the detangler. I've tried to drip a little jojoba oil into the button but that didn't do much. It's such a small amount left that I'm not going to re-bottle it or leave a bad review, but has anyone else had this problem with the larger bottles of Selkie?

The large bottle has another mechanism entirely. It's the latest batch of small bottles that Melissa got, where some of them has a problem. I've gotten one or two misters with this problem. But since I got a whole collection at home, I can just change to an old that's working. If you place another order, you can ask her to send along a new spray thingy (what's the name in English?

) for free.

The (large) bottle I've been using for over a year is starting to act up more and more now, which I suspect is because I've had it for a long time.
Nowaydays, I just carefully pour a little of the detangling spray onto/into/unto the palm of my hand and the gently "rub" it in (so not rub, actually, more like massage it), something I've also beeing doing for the mister bottles that has that same malfunction Tatsu mentioned.

I've been lucky then. I've had my bottle for more than 6 years and it still works great.

Yes, you must have been, and it's great that it still works.

Will probably just order a new bottle later.

Mine has been used so much and gone through the diswasher (the glass part), that the lable turned white, so Melissa sent me new lables. I think that I will be able to wear out this lable too and be able to use the next one, before mine give up. Could be that the older bottles were better.

How kind of her.

Well, that's a possibility considering the recent "heads" of the mister bottles can be faulty.
