What is comparable to a Digital SLR camera but not as expensive / bulky?
Q. Question sums it up well. I had a DSLR about a year ago, and LOVED it but unfortunately had to sell it. Looking for something comparable, but hopefully not as expensive or bulky. I want something I can carry around and shoot immediately. I couldn't really bring a DSLR to get togethers and take candids, since the world knew I was holding it. Thanks.

What shampoo is comparable to Redken All Soft?

A. If you're looking to still buy a product by the Redken line, then I would suggest the Redken Real Control. It's one of the newest home-hair-care products by Redken and selling off the shelves as it comes in. I really like it though because I know sometimes the All Soft can leave your hair feeling too oily but it pretty much has the same effect as it. The conditioner is still a cream base but not as thick as the All Soft. My clients loves it because it really works and smells amazing!!! I'm shampooing them and right away they want to know what i'm using. And if you have a local Hair Cuttery by you, hurry in! We have the liter duos for $30!!! And you will save alot, they also sell fast since it's a big money saver. We also have buy 2… [cont.]
