Thanks for the Advice!

Dave,So glad to hear you are getting awesome results. I have found that besides Aveda the Phytologie line works great on my hair and in the summer I always use Phyto#7...which is a leave in conditioner...in my hair and have great luck with it keeping the humidity at bay. I live in Dallas which is hotter than hot and humid at times. So I know what you mean about needing to have some conditioner on your hair at all times.Thanks for the feedback.Karen> To Marsha, Jennifer and Karen, Thank you> for replying to my haircare concerns!> Your suggestions have been helpful -- I've> learned some things in the past week... first> and foremost, I learned that for my hair, leaving-in> a little bit of conditioner is ABSOLUTELY essential.> As an aside, it makes me wonder why the instructions> on conditioner bottles/tubes advise rinsing it> out?
