I'm writing out a general review of the product itself and the self effects separately. Personally, I feel self effects like a truck for a week or so -- after a week I feel no self effects unless I take a LONG break from the product.


Dirty Clean Shampoo


The Bad:
The bottle is really rigid, I feel if I were to squeeze it it would crack. While that's not the end of the world in ANY way, I figure I might as well let you know I had to take the cap off to get shampoo out. An issue with the bottle is the only thing I found wrong with the product... That's a good thing!

The Good:
The first thing I did was open it up and get a little sniff of the product, it hit me immediately. I felt a small rush of invigoration and incredibly upbeat! Made me smile right away.

I'm one of those over-thinkers, I thought it would be beneficial to wash using my favorite soap (Dr. Bronners peppermint) and then use the Dirty Clean Shampoo after, that way my hair is already clean and the 'mones bind with my hair and scalp with no oils or anything in the way... My theory was less 'mones get washed away, more binding time with hair and skin.

This shampoo suds up like a champ, a little goes a LONG way, so I used some of the unexpectedly excessive suds on my beard, mustache and body... Let me say, it makes my skin feel pretty good and very soft. I let the shampoo sit on my scalp and body for a good 3-4 minutes before rinsing it off. I'm a soap / shampoo nazi... Dr. Bronners soap has made me a believer in "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", however as much as I love Dr Bronners soap, it does not moisturize in any way. Laid does.

The Self Effects:
After I got out of the shower and toweled off, I looked in the mirror and I thought "Damn you're sexy today", a second after that I figured out it was the mones talking! So far, self effects were subtle, but damn awesome. I just had an air of "I'm hot" around me. I've been weight lifting a lot, I spent about 5 minutes flexing in the mirror looking at my progress... I don't typically do that, so I believe this makes me feel a little narcissistic! Which isn't a bad thing, everyone should feel comfortable in their skin. The self effects are a little subtle, but not hard to notice if that makes sense.

If I had one word to describe the effects of the Dirty Clean Shampoo, it would be "Confident".


Hair Styling Paste


The Bad:
None.

The Good:
Wow, this is definitely a quality paste... I'm going to say I'm glad both the shampoo and the hair styling paste are good products, not just vessels for 'mones to be applied.

Again, I took a nice sniff of this stuff and it hit me like a truck. Same invigorated and upbeat feeling.

I wear a faux hawk, because I'm original like that (lol), my normal look is to take mousse and put on a light amount, once it's dried I mess up and restyle my hair, that way my hair looks more natural, and less like a faux hawk compiled of mini spikes (hope that makes sense...) since this is a thick paste, I couldn't really do that. It's not bad, just different from how I typically style myself and honestly to be expected with paste vs mousse. Today, my hair looks more like spiked hair pushed to a faux hawk (Again, hope that makes sense). Like I said, I kind of expected that with paste, so don't view this as negative criticism.

This is a THICK paste, and since I don't typically style my hair everyday, this sample will last me a long time... This product definitely has some longevity to it, like the shampoo, a little goes a long way. I could envision at least 50+ applications of this sample, meaning for me, I could probably get 100 uses out of a full size tub, if not more.

The Self Effects:
Self effects are nearly a mirror image of the Dirty Clean Shampoo, but amplified. After applying and working it through my hair I felt like gods gift to women, as I write this right now, I still feel like I've never looked better. Very upbeat and happy, I desire adventure and sex. This stuff makes me a bit of a horny bastard it seems.

I don't really feel the need to reiterate what I've said, as it really is damn near identical to the Dirty Clean Shampoo in self effects, only stronger.

I couldn't put the self effects into one word without creating a new word, so the three words I'd use to describe my self effects on the Laid Hair Styling Paste are: Beast, Hot, Confident. In no particular order.


Preliminary Effects on Others (Family):
Smiles, SMILES. Everybody is smiling around me, conversation is easier and more smooth. I decided to go to my parents house this morning and see if there are any effects on anyone there before going about my day. My mother is kind of a "glass is half empty, and probably gonna break soon, which will be your fault, not mine" kinda person... She's bubbly and happy around me today, that doesn't happen.

Like, that DOESN'T happen. haha.


So far, I absolutely love the products, I'm actually surprised how great the products make me feel about myself and my surroundings.
