FebruaryGirl Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi Maria.... I'm a stylist. What type of hair do you have? Is it fine? Curly? Coarse? Thick, thin? Do you use a lot of heat or products on it? These questions will help me determine what advice to give you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrocza Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm actually having a lot of stress with my hair too. I'm never pleased with it. I get regular cuts and yet my split ends keep coming back. I colour, but I don't blow dry or use a lot of hair products. My hair gets frizzy, dry and unruly in humid weather, and goes soft only when theres not a lot of moisture in the air. I want to try something to get my hair to feel SOFT. I use natural shampoos and conditioners, leave in treatments, anti-frizz serums, but my hair is not what I want it to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FebruaryGirl Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I can suggest a great product for frizzies...and it smells awesome It's called Super Skinny by Paul Mitchell...this stuff flies off our shelves. Be sure to just use it sparinbgly though or it could make your hair look greasy. Use it BEFORE you blow dry your hair...and just a little bit after your hair is straight to smooth it down.

FebruaryGirl Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hahaha Maria...glad I could help... What is your goal ? to staighten your hair? The stuff I suggested, Super Skinny is perfect for your hair. A ceramic Iron will definetly help with straightening your hair..BUT...make sure you protect your hair with heat styling products..and try not to become TOO reliant on your flat iron...they are VERY addictive!! lol If your hair is curly at all...I would suggest ermbracing your natural curl....just put some mousse with a few dabs of super skinny in your hair ..after your towel dry it..and let it air dry. The truth is...the less you do to your hair..the healthier it will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria1980 Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 thanks lol but I dont really care if my hair is straight, curly, or wavy, I just want it to be healthy and not so dry and "breakable", any ideas on that one? Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FebruaryGirl Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Protein packs are good for the hair...it strengthens the bonds in the hair. Also...your diet has a LOT to do with the health of your hair. Are you eating healthy? If not...a lot of leafy green veggies are excellent. Remember what goes in, come out. Taking viatamins are good too..a multi vitamin...even pre natal vitamins are good if you can stomach taking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellbell Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi there, I am not a hairdresser however, I did use something that was a Godsend for frizzy and brittle hair. It's called FrizzEase. I got a perm once and it just fried my hair, suck every drop of moisture out of my hair. (I have stubbornly straight hair). I used it for about a few weeks and it worked beautifully. It's a hair serum that combats frizzies and adds moisture, especially on the ends of the hair. You don't need much. It's kind of pricey but well worth it! Good luck.

Maria1980 Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 hey! yeah Im eating healthy, always did Thanks girls for your reply, I will try to eat more green veggies and will try those products and hope to see results! Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Flat irons are bad for you...especially the cheap ones. I was planning on straightening my hair, then realized I had to do lots of deep conditioning and buy a $100 flat iron to keep my hair from drying out. It has to do with in cheap ones it opens the hair cuticles (sp?), while with the more expensive ones will close it. It has to do with something like the the ions. You need hair serum, deep conditioners, leave in conditioners, etc. when you straighten your hair too. I also know that Sedus are the best for you hair! link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blayzed4Life Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hey FebruaryGirl got any tips for guys hair to? I hate my hair it's so thin I can barely style it, but what I really want is a shag, I tried last fall to grow one and it turned out ugly cause my hair would only stay straight I wouldnt get any of those curles at the tips to make it look shaggy.

FebruaryGirl Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hey Blayzed! Sorry I just saw your post... A BIG look for guys right now is that 70's shag look... If you have thin hair that's ok....you'll want to keep it about collar length in ther back and about halfway over the ears....layering of course and some texturizing will add more body. Product is VERY important with styling hair..especially fine or thin hair. Use some dry wax...like Wax works by Paul Mitchell...or the Dry Wax. Gel will weigh your hair down flat to your head...So apply the product sparingly...maybe a dime size and rub it all through your hair, for that "messy" shaggy look. Also, take a picture of what you want to your stylist so they will have a better idea of what you want... Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
