Pureology Conditioner Helped On Long 45-Day Bicycle Ride
By Steve Garufi - April 14, 2008
So what does this have to do with this web site? My long naturally curly hair took a beating! I was well-aware that my daily and basic routine of diligently combing out my hair would likely be interupted from time to time. For me, the greatest challenge was mustering the mental energy and patience necessary to take the time to care for my hair - especially after being exhausted and hungry after an average 70-mile ride. Oh and there was some drama too! My bike was stolen while locked outside a store in Phoenix, Arizona. Although I had all of my valuable positions on me during the theft, all of my supplies including my conditioner were gone! I struggled with finding a decent enough conditioner that was put in a small enough container to bring along with me. Keep in mind I had saddlebags in the back of the bike, carrying extra clothing, food, tools, hygiene products, etc. I was meticulous in carrying the least amount of weight back there, and the last thing I needed was a large tub of conditioner that I typically have at home. Long story made short, a hairdresser in El Dorado, Arkansas greatly helped with this dilemna. Top Right: The cooky picture of myself inside a hair salon in southern Arkansas.
I generally will not be writing many articles promoting specific products and I am far from a haircare expert, but I do recommend this conditioner for those wanting a quality product that will do a good job keeping hair from becoming dry and brittle. Just sniffing the opening of the bottle is a sensation that declares long hair health.

I have found writing about my bike trip is nearly as difficult as accomplishing the actual trip itself! Now that I'm back in my normal life routine in Colorado, it is back to the basics with my daily haircare disciplines. I will be seeing my hairdresser later this afternoon, and I do not want to disappoint her! ;) - This article was written by Steve Garufi, a long hair enthusiast with long, black, naturally curly hair.

Earlier in 2008, I rode my bicycle over a 45-day period from San Diego, California
to Jekyll Island, Georgia. It was an amazing ride with all sorts of highs and lows,
but most importantly I have the joy of knowing I achieved one of my life dreams.
Pureology has a hydrating conditioner (Pureology Hydrate Condition)
that gave my hair
a very deep softness and made it much easier to comb through. I worked in an amount
the size of a quarter (sometimes more, I don't mind "gooping" it in) in the shower,
let it sit for 1-2 minutes and had a quick and light rinse. This really helped!
