Yep, just as I thought..

I will check it out, cause I have to by a new one for her. My mom can be a real pain......

Y'all can tell I care for my mother...

I was wondering if that New Phase stuff will afects the hair.......It's good enough to bring her down from a pissed off Venom spitting cobra to a pissed of rattlesnake with no rattle.....It must have some hard chemicals.......?I guess???

She says it's my fault it broke cause I am hardheaded...SHE HIT ME! She said she dropped hers on concrete (which I don't believe cause there is no bare concrete around, unless she blow dry on a side walk or sumtin, but we live back in the woods) and it still worked. I would file child abuse but I am too old LOL

Well naw... you can get one at any BSS (beauty supply store) or Sally's. I think it starts about $25.00 depending on where you go...

Yeah I heard that one before...me being hardheaded from my mom all the time back in the day LOL

Now with no more hairblower we are closer to making her join the dark side......errr good side.

I can't wait till that stuff called "New Phase" kicks in......she started last week.....

LMAO.... You are too much! Now dont you go out and buy her another one now LOL. IF so get a hooded hair dryer (the one you have to sit under) which would be much better than the hand one. Good luck

I totally agree with the others. If your mom doesnt want to stop relaxing her hair try to see if she will stretch the inbetween time of touchups. Also the treatments, regular trims, and conditioning/moisturizing shampoos and deep conditioning should help. And of course LESS heat as possible otherwise the state of her hair will not change and her going thru menopause doesnt help unfortuantly with all the changes she will go through (my mom is going through it too LOL).

Most dandruff shampoos are drying as heck.  Just get some Creme of Nature shampoo (the green label) or some Elasta QP shampoo (either Creme Conditioning or one for Relaxed Hair) and she should be alright.  It will take some time to see results based on the extent of the damage.  Also she will need some good conditioner.  A moisturizing one to boot.

I use suave conditioners sometimes (but NEVER their shampoos), and some of them have "milk protein" or "silk protein" as ingredients.

Some Aveda products have "quinoa protein" as an ingredient.

Hair type: who knows?
Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06
MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!!

It's going to be a long hard battle with my mom, trying to convince her to change her harmful ways....

I got a lot against me........

1st. I am male

2nd.I am way younger

3rd.She is very cranky cause she is going through menopause! Poor dad I really feel sorry for him

4. It's her hair!.......I learned really young to never mess with a girls hair.........especially a girls black hair.....

But If I buy this stuff for her and no money out of her pocket she just might try it......I don't think I will try the cat pee stuff yet, cause that will break the trust.......

The things I do for my mother........

Never tried that Dr. Miracle line.  I have tried that Wild Growth Hair oil and basically it just made my hair softer and shinier.  She can purchase that at Sally's.  Cost about 8 bucks for an four ounce bottle.

*The sun turns blindingly bright then dims back to normal*

I talked to my mom and she refuses to go natural...

So I was reading in the Ebony Magizine and came across an ad called "Dr.Miracle's new Thermalceutical Intensive Relaxer" supposed to be the solution to everything.......I really don't believe it........nothing can be THAT good....right?

Anyone used this stuff??

And some wild growth formula that I ran across a couple seconds ago but I can't find it in the book cause it knows I am looking for it.

*Sun dims and everything goes dark then back to normal*

Ms.Renata22-What conditioner do you use?

*Can't get himself together to think of an exit, he walks away*

 

  Naw the treatment smells like cat pee to me but it is temporary, as long as she rinses the treatment very well.  I mean very well.  Then the smell should go away.

Also, if Aphogee Treatment is a PROTEIN treatment, she may only want to use it once or twice a month. My stylist told me that protein treatments can make hair hard or dry it out, and she's glad I don't use them since I have a conditioner with protein.

I got a feeling she may get nasty and hostile on me(my mother).....

*Phases out*

Like every product, hair, skin, what have you, your milage will vary.  The ones I have listed seems pretty popular in most hair groups I have frequented.  But she should try it once a week for about a month or two to see if it will improve her hair condition.  Then she can deep condition like every two weeks or so.  With a moisturizing conditioner I might add.

As for trimming the hair, if she does have splits, a small trim , like 1/2 an inch or so couldn't hurt,  But if it is really damaged, I would suggest cutting off as much of the damaged ends as possible.  Some people like to use Aphogee Treatment (the one that smells like cat pee) to slow down on the breakage, but I must stress that it is a temporary fix.  And when using a product like that, you must follow the instructions to the letter.
