Posted By: BH0101 Subject: Where would I find a hair-care dictionary? Date Posted: June 05 2003 at 3:52am What is a surfectant? Why would you use mousse vs gel vs nothing? What are names of popular hair styles? How do you tell if a hairstyle is 'cool' or not? I'm a geek. I have ZERO knowledge of hair. I grew up without even knowing that having 'good hair' was important when relating to people sometimes. First impressions and all. I HATE my hair. And I can't ask for what I want if I don't know how to speak the language. So where can I go to get an education? I could surf these forums for hours but I don't have enough time in a week to sift through it all for what I need. I'm looking for basically a 'vocabulary' page so that I understand the terms hairstylists use. Replies: Posted By: Lyris Date Posted: June 05 2003 at 7:22am Read Paula Begoun's "Don't Go Shopping for Haircare Products Without Me" or Ruth Winter's cosmetic dictionary. Between the two you'll learn more than you could ever imagine about poylquaternium-11, sodium styrene and all SORTS of thrilling terms! Also, I have a rather lengthy ingredient glossary if you'd like a copy. Send me your email address via boardmail and I'll get it to you. ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence.
