Hair Help

To avoid greasy strands, don't overcondition:


That is exactly what my hair stylist told me as well just use it on the ends.

Yes I only use it below the ears, about a quarter size.

Do you color your hair?

yes and have highlights (but only color about once every 6 months)

Do you get it colored at the salon or do it yourself? I've noticed that the few times I've broken down and done it myself, my hair feels less than desirable.

That'll dry it out.

That'll dry it out.

Is there anything I can do to help it now though?

Does she use salon quality color, or drugstore stuff? Drugstore stuff will really mess up your hair, salon stuff can actually improve the way your hair feels.

Clarifying shampoo should work. I have naturally oily hair. I use it. But I got a perm a few months ago and it dried it right out!

I personally haven't had any issues with drugstore hair color. But I know what works with my hair and what doesn't.

I've had serious problems with it. I'll go a few years and forget why I don't use it...then color my hair, and instantly it's dried out and tangly.

Are you due for a haircut anytime soon? Next time you go to the salon, I'd explain to the stylist what problems you're having, and she (having actually seen and touched your hair, as opposed to us, who really can't give you the best help) might be able to steer you in the right direction. She may even be able to recommend some sort of treatment to get your hair back on track.

Ok Ladies you seem pretty knowledgable, so I'm thinking you can help me.

I have long hair, very thin, very dry: yet if I put products in it (i.e. condition, spray silk, hairspray) to make it soft it get's very greesy, very quick.

and before anyone says it: yes I was my hair every day, just very oily scalp..

Thanks in advance

Buy some Nexus Humetress conditioner, (Target sells it now), and use about a penny size amount, and put it halfway down your hair and towards the ends. Stay away from your scalp area. Do not rinse it out. That will give it immediate softness without an oily feel.

It works for some, just not all

This is true. My mom has always colored her own hair and it looks fabulous.

Clairol Nice and Easy! But, it's been ages since I've colored mine. :shrug:

have any of you seen or used that new glaze by clairol I think it is? Just a refresher for your color basically? Any opinions?

Never seen it, but it's definently an idea for me. I'm starting to really like my natural color but it's kinda dull. I'll have to make a trip to Target tonight. Thanks for the idea.

I've used the glaze by John Freida, and it didn't do anything.

Dont use it

why have you used it before? Did it dry your hair out? How long is your hair? Are you blonde?
