Need Ottawa-area specialist who knows the following:

**What 8 millimetres are. (Since in my right mind, I don't think it warrants much more than that)
**Can acurately search and destroy split ends. (despite saying I had none, I had no clue what they were until I saw 50 of them yesterday)
**Does not get off on cutting frenzies, doing something the client doesn't want, etc...
** Can suggest (and direct me to procuring) hair ties that secure the hair better than these damn no-metal bands, oh they are apparently better than metal ones but not by much.
** Can actually suggest good hair products that do not feel like you're washing with whale sperm. (Die NutriVive Die) --- specific needs : fortifying and something to ensure my straight hair or almost straight stays straight.
** And give good advice, etc.


Ottawa/Hull area. And I'm not the type of person that is willing to find a good stylist by playing Russian roulette with 6 bullets. That's why I am asking. I hope I don't need to mentionit, but it should be clear that they must be hair-friendlies, not hair-enemies. One that won't suggest layers, equalizing or anything. I wish to maintain unruly length, but split ends and the damaged stuff has to go.



Now, why am I actively in need for a good dusting ?

A combination of 2 reasons.
1 being that I just passed through a hectic stressful month, and my hair could have degraded at the tips either on its own or in combination with :

2 being that since I started from a buzz three years (almost) ago I may have had inherent damage from the damn clipper. If so, most likely aggravated by this past month.


I will only take suggestions from regulars of this section, and will check past posts to see your bias. I don't need the fetishists from buzzcrew.com to answer. And new/unregistered posters, sorry, but no dice.

that's awesome ..... non-salon , I would have never thought of the concept :P


Ironically I am headed to Toronto (Anime North, woohoo !) , but on unpredictable circumstances for transport (free plane if I can reserve OTT-TOR at 00:01 the day before, or I'd be taking the bus.


I do get my license soon, and will surely think of it for the summer..... Anything that could be good to stop the splitting though in the meantime ? Is Infusium worth while ? (Or is it a hunk of crap?)



And I'd go there the day before Anime North x4 next year for sure. Maybe she can help me with my quest for a grey dye too :P

One more thing.

My hair-guru has this to say:

"Quite a few guys with really long hair ignore split ends altogether. They say that one side of the split soon breaks off and then the hair continues to dry out and soon the other side does, leaving a strand with a broken end but no traveling split. They also feel a general trimming deprives nearby unsplit and never-cut strands of their natural tapered ends, actually encouraging future splits. "
- Bill Choisser.

Well, I think it's at a point where ignoring it is toxic.



I'll be happy to go to Toronto once I am able to and have an excuse to go play BeatMania IIDX (8th Style), since as far as I know, it's the only arcade in Canada that has it (well, maybe BC has it).


I just learned I had a study week (despite only having one class) so I could take any day from then assuming i pass my driver's test. (mid-June the week, my test end may)
