Recovery - Loudon Wainwright III

Advantages: Pop genius
Disadvantages: Slight lack of quality control

...Wainwright is a genius; the trouble is, he knows it. His earlier albums have apparently sold poorly for the simple reason that they?re too complicated and, quite frankly, too camp. ?Want two,? the last album, opens with some fanciful string and vocal arrangements that?s a version of an old Latin prayer or something, but track two is a fantastic pop tune. For his new album, Wainwright has toned down his camp-ness by recruiting, er, a Pet Shop Boy (Neil Tennant). The PS Boys know all about being camp and being hugely successful and ?Release the stars?, while still being ornate and over the top, is firmly a pop album.

Advantages: Cheap and very effective
Disadvantages: I cant think of any

...TRESemme Thermal Recovery Deep Conditioner is part of the Thermal Recovery range, along with the bottled shampoo and condition. It is definitely affordable and it is packaged in a large tube that gives you a generous amount of conditioner, so it is great value for money. As i straighten and style my hair on a daily basis, i regularly use this product about twice a week. Once used, my hair does feel rehydrated and more manageable. I have tried several deep conditioners in my time, and for me, this is definitely the cheapest and most effective. Also, you only have to leave the conditioner on for 5 minutes and in which you still see results. It smells great too. I love this product and i give it a 8/10. A brilliant buy!... Read review
