I ran out of my Aussie Leave-In Conditioner Hair Insurance spray the other day. I went to buy some more at Target and I could not find it. I was pretty bummed, because I love this product. First of all it really moisturizes my hair very well and second of all it is cheap. I have to use this spray after I shampoo and conditioner, because my hair is fine and it gets very tangled.
Then I saw that Aussie had a new product out called Aussie Sun-Touched Conditioning Shine. I figure I might as well try it, because it was a conditioner, plus shine all in one. And I looked at the ingredients on the bottle and it looked very similar of the Aussie Hair Insurance from what I could remember, so I bought it up.
When I got home I compared the ingredients of the two products online and here they are below:
Aussie Hair Insurance:
Water, Amodimethicone, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth 12, Polyquaternium 11, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PPG 2 Methyl Ether, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 80, Aminomethyl Propanol, Citric Acid, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Silk Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Aussie Sun-Touched Shine:
Water, Amodimethicone, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth-12, Polyquaternium-11, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PPG-2 Methyl Ether, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 80, Aminomethyl Propanol, Citric Acid, Ecklonia Radiata Extract (Australian Sea Kelp Extract).
Ummm…they look pretty much identical! I can’t believe it. Well, except for the extracts and aloe juice at the very bottom of the lists. Crazy, huh? I did find another difference though. For some reason the sun spray does not spray out nice and even like the hair insurance. Weird, because the spray cap looks similar. I can always buy or find a new spray cap to go on top, or a new spray bottle. Alright, so I am hair happy now. 
Here’s to a good hair day to you!

I always have that too! Products that I simply love are no longer produced or bought by stores because I seem to be the only buyer of it. And this can't be true, right?
Often such a product is then replaced by something cheaper and without the same quality.
And it takes me ages to accept that I no longer can buy my favorite product and have to change brand or type…
Yes, why do they mess with a good thing. Hopefully something better will come along for you!
