Old Loves and New Infatuations: Sebastian Potion 9

Email thisPosted Sep 15th 2008 at 11:03AM by Cat Lincoln

We're pretty sure some of you are sister-fans of Sebastian Potion 9 (which we still refer to as Potion #9, but corrected in this post so we don't look dumb.)

Remember the sticky, gluey consistency, that was so hard to get off your hands? The orange color? The way you could use in on wet or dry hair, and how it was the one product you could count on to give your Rachel-do the perfect mixture of smoothness with body?

Oh, those were some good times. But inexplicably, we were lured away from our reliable Potion 9 by the novel temptations of Pureology and Bumble and bumble.

We'd forgotten just how good Potion 9 was, until a box of review samples for the New Sebastian Professional line arrived.

L'Oreal buys PureOlogy

Last summer I wrote of my secret love for PureOlogy. I hoarded the bottles I got at a PR event for months. Delicious, wonderful stuff but it was hard to justify $20 bottles of shampoo to my frugal life. Perhaps that will change now that PureOlogy has been sold to L'Oreal for an undisclosed amount. The company PureOlogy Research LLC, did $207 million in retail sales for the most recent 12 months. The brand will now join the L'Oréal Professionnel, Kérastase, Matrix, Redken and Mizani brands. I've got my fingers crossed that the end result of this buyout will lead to PureOlogy, magic recipe unchanged, available everywhere for a lower price. Oh well, a drugstore beauty queen can dream...

PureOlogy, luxe care for color-treated hair

Filed under: Hair Care, Skin Care

I wouldn't currently define my hair as color-treated. I might instead call it, in color recovery, after all, I've been slowly growing out my highlights for the last few years, gradually learning that I am not now, and truly have never been, a blonde (since I was about six, at least) Nevertheless, I recently checked out a line of hair care for color treated hair. I received a sample of the PureOlogy line when I was working behind the scenes at a pre-Emmy event last month.

The PureOlogy products are designed to help hair retain color and the shampoo and conditioner contain something they call nanotechnology. The products also use a zero sulfate formula that is both salt-free and vegan. The product is pricier than what I am used to (it seems to sell for $18 to $20 per 10-ounce bottle online) but it does an amazing job leaving hair full of body and very shiny and manageable. It also has a wonderful scent that is sweet and flowery without being overly chemical. They have a complete styling line and several different types of shampoos and conditioners. If I were going to start coloring my hair again, this would be the product I'd be saving my pennies for.
