what happened to my hair(kinda long but important)

at first i was not a believer of hair stripping, but now that my hair has changed from black to a lighter brown, i now am. (i have never died my hair)

i hated the Vo5 shampoos but i really like the conditioners...after i used the shampoo my hair had that "stripped" feeling...I think you should look at a different brand of shampoos...

ive also noticed that i have a lot of split ends, which i didnt have a problem with until i strated using this shampoo.

I can't really say, however, i noticed that relaxers can change the color of your hair.

i noticed that the new color is actually my true hair color (i just hadn't noticed it all these years when i was doing the no-no of overlapping my perm. )

Just reading through a few of these threads...you mention shampoos...but what is the best conditioner to use...again for dry frizzy hair.

Thanks ;-)

Where do I buy all this stuff from! lol...just been having a look on google!! Also need to find a suitable prem solution for my hair...but need  more info first (mainly as I wannt something that will leave it 'fairly' conditioned after)

I usually shop at Ulta for KeraCare and Kenra.  Suave is at Target.  Ulta is a good professional-product store carrier.  It's expensive, but considering what the Asian owned beauty supply stores charge, it's CHEAP.  Look up Ulta Beauty when you get a chance!If you can't find that, I'd advise finding an Asian owned beauty supplier that carries professional products.  What exactly do you mean by Perm solution?  You would like to try a different relaxer?  I havent relaxed in so long I hardly remember what it's like except time-consuming and not effective.  I've heard Affirm and Phytospecific is great, but again that's professional products.

I'm guessing your not from the UK?

In the UK perm solution is what we call the stuff (lotion/neutraliser) we use to curl our hair with rods/chemicals (I know chemicals are a bit of a no no...but!)

Yes, its a relaxer, but I kind off associate that more with permanent chemical  straightening (yuko system etc)

I have always, up until a few year ago, when I had the yuko system done, permed my own hair, as the hairdresser did it once and made such a terrible mess! I used to want to be a hairdresser, so I taught myself dif techniques etc, using my head and friends! thankfully, the results were always good!!

One of my friends (I were about 12/13 at the time) had really thick frizzy heat damaged (badly) hair (looked afro, but she is white) which were past her bum....so...we decided to do something about it...and chopped it off!!! lol...I then thinned it out, with some jagged scissors (I don't know correct term!) and softened the edges to frame and suit her face, it looked fab...her mum mind was in a state of shock, as it were now shoulder length!! but she did like it an thought she'd had it done proffesionally!

Thank god I didn't get into to much trouble once she found out ;p lol

I'll check google for some of the products mentioned ;-) Thanks ;-)
