That actually sounds like a good product. Do you use it on wet or dry hair?

Mocha - I Googled and found his product website, and it says: Dirt tip - For superb control, wait until your hair is completely dry and use a dime-sized amount. Rub Dirt into dry palms until it disappears. Then either scrunch in at the roots or piece hair together. JONATHAN PRODUCT

If I want to put dirt in my hair, I'll go dig it up in the back yard. I think that will do the trick to make my freshly cleaned hair not so freshly clean. Give me a effin break!!! What a farce! What a rip off! I think of this as a raping of people's sensibilities all in the name of status and looking "good". Okay, done with my rant. Geez.

Here's what I think after reading the directions for use at his site - unless you see Jonathan demo the product and tell you what it does, his "cute" name for the product conjures up all the wrong images. It's a styling aid with great ingredients... The fact that his description mentions 2nd day hair, etc, and "Dirt"... well, he did himself no favors with that one. When you put a styling product in clean hair you immediately lose the squeaky-clean start as it is, so this probably no different. He might be doing bad marketing but maybe it's not such a bad product. I will not be running out to try it, however. If anyone does - please report back!

It probably has the texture of dirt and is a way of exfoliating the hair follicles. Just like a mud bath. I like the fact that he seems to be using natural ingrediants in his products. If I see any of his products in the beauty supply store I go to I may try them. But not sure how they would work on black hair.

I've used a couple products like Dirt. One was by Sebastian and it was called Molding Mudd and another was Putty by Fudge, but now I use Bumble & Bumble's Wax instead, so I think this is just Jonathan's knock off of a familiar concept and a similar name to at least 2 of those companies. They're all designed to give your hair body and separation by adding texture to the hair. Mocha, a friend used Molding Mudd on her hair and she liked it a lot, but she didn't relax her hair...

So Tish, show us your hair and let us judge this product! I just spent the week in La Jolla (business) and was thinking about all you west coast TVCHers.

Ahh ok thanks Tish. I would like to try Jonathan's shampoos though but I usually just use Cream of Nature which also conditions, if I used his then I'd have to use a seperate conditioner I think.

Did anyone watch this atrocity last night? Jonathan is a self-parody. That scene at the therapist's office was a thing of camp genius.

Tish - I tuned in late and missed the therapist, but I think I have it on DVR. I did see him keep the Product marketing team waiting while he gave what looked like a 90-minute haircut (the style clock went on from there...). Was he cutting one freaking strand at a time? Oh, and his weeping when he was interviewed about his humble beginnings, sweeping hair in the West Hollywood salon... the weeping... please!

I watched, I'm sad to say. Just call me a junkie for reality TV, I guess. LOL The therapist scene was at the end. I just kept thinking, what professional therapist would EVER allow cameras into a session? Of COURSE it's all staged. Otherwise wouldn't there be some professional ethics that were violated? I mean, would YOU ever go to a therapist who allowed that? I sure wouldn't. Of course, the therapist doesn't really say anything, just nods and looks sympathetic -- another reason not to go to her, IMHO. Probably she's not a therapist at all, but someone they paid to act like one so Jonathan could do his really, really bad acting with really, really fake crying about his poor, poor life. The graphics guy was WAY out of line. First, he showed up very late for the initial meeting, then he wasn't even familiar with the right terminology or the business at all. Not a great first impression. Then he got all huffy when Jonathan kept HIM waiting and turned that into extremely snide remarks. Very unprofessional. Of course, Jonathan is unprofessional, too, but that's no excuse for the graphics guy to lower himself to the same level. Heck, you're getting TV exposure for your firm and that's how you represent? Not smart, IMHO.

Well, it's clear that I need to watch the entire episode from start to finish so I can get this all in perspective! See, my two cats had just come home from a day at the vet that included teeth cleaning. They were hissing and howling at each other as if they were strangers and they are littermates, for the love of God. I guess I saw the middle? Anyway, I am sure it was Blowout - I can say that with confidence! So carry on here while I catch up! P.S. The kids are fine now.

I'm going to have to catch a rerun since unlike other weeks, they didn't show it again later on that night. We got 2 episodes of the West Wing then a repeat of Queer Eye, which I DID watch and then on to poker.... sheesh. I hate when they mix up schedules like that. I was always able to catch the 2nd run since I had been watching something else when it was on. Oh well.......

I always get mad at people on boards who watch these shows and write about how horrible they are and what a waste of time watching, They just keep watching week after week and write and complain and I think then don't watch. But now I seeeeeee......It is a train wreck I can not turn away. Jonathan is such a joke of a personality I hate every minute I watch him but just can not turn away. He is passionate about his work and may be a genius at what he does. But his voice,mannerisms, you are not worthy of me, I am hair stuff is so over the top. I am ashamed

Yeah, I'll really be spending THAT MUCH $$ on his products.....NOT!!!!! And that's just the introductory price... I'm sure with a $500 haircut, your shampoo should at least cost $75/bottle! LOL

The packaging turned out nice. I like the way it looks I had the snottiest male hairdresser in a higher class salon who once fawned over what good condition my hair was in and asked what I used and I told him 99 cent Suave and he nearly died. I have seen show after show explaining how high dollar products are not always better. So I use the cheap stuff and save my $$ to buy a huge tv to watch reality shows on.

LOL Lurkin!! You Go!! I've only had one male hairdresser who wasn't a snob. The others made me really uncomfortable, but then again, a lot of women do too, but I've gone to more of them! I love how they go on and on about how I need their expensive product and the only time the stuff feels any different is the time I'm in the salon and just had my hair cut!

Kids, I believe the season finale is tonight, opposite Big Brother. I saw Jonathan on QVC last Friday. Every product sold out, and fast. They do look like quality products and I agree that the packaging is super. Jonathan needs to stop talking over the QVC host, which he did repeatedly. QVC sells everything in "duo" sets, it seems. As in, 2 shampoos, 2 hairsprays. I haven't been into a Sephora lately, but if anyone wants to try his goodies in singles, that would be the place.
