That's another thing.
The Crabtree stuff is SO Drying. I have ultra-fine, straight hair, and this stuff no matter how little or much I use strips every drop of oil out of my hair. My hair sometimes even squeaks, as I am washing it, which is not good. Even after using Conditioner twice, my hair is so lifeless, so dry. The combover without generous hair gel, is impossible.
The Pharmacopia stuff at Westin is MUCH better, in my opinion. It's just aggravating. Reading that two other posters are even having sensitivity to this stuff, says a lot too. It's definitely not premium.

That is the thing though. I want to carry as little as physically possible on my trips. Especially, since I truly try to avoid checking bags. Considering the premium prices that properties are now demanding, we should expect better!
