I just wanted to thank everyone that helped me understand the importance of reading the ingredients in shampoos/conditioners/styling products. Those that helped me find a good hairbrush, shampoos and conditioners, etc.  I would also like to add that I trully love this board! I finally found a shampoo and conditioner that my mom and I just love (Redken All Soft), I am also now using Redken outshine, really makes my hair soft! My hair is a little dry at the bottom. I went through a phase where I colored it at least 3 times in 1 month! But now, I am taking really good care of it. I am still learning though and I will keep reading and ask questions. Thanks so much you guys! ps... thanks so much Amanda for helping me set up my pic! as u can see, took me a few tries to actually get it to work but I did it! http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=224757 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=224757 ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

Me too. And the link in your signature doesn't work, because apparently you're not allowed to access that site from such a link. (It probably looks OK from your computer, because it's your account.) I'm glad you're so happy with your hair!! I used to dye the heck out of my hair, too.  ------------- "Hair is a part of you.

Great hair! Good color & it's in wonderful condition. How long is it, in inches(measured from the middle of your front hairline to the ends)? Thanks for sharing!

Princess Monica - My natural haircolor is black but changed throughout the year... LOL... I was young then, I dyed my hair so much. Now, it's light brown with reddish highlights... I still can't stop myself from dying. I went from black, to brown to red to blonde in like 6 months... and made a huge mistake in dyeing my hair black - so I light highlights that turned a bit red (this pic)... which came out ok... hehe... Amanda Panda - I don't know how to measure. Lyris - I will be trying Neutrogena overnight treatment that you have been talking about. I love All Soft! Outshine smells so pretty!!! Uzma - No, it's a small rose that I have gotten like 10 years ago... I don't want it anymore... LOL. I kinda like that sword thing that you mentioned.  My hair is dry at the ends, I am thinking of taking 2 inches off to get rid of them. Thanks you guys! ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

HI Crazygirl-- do you have any bangs? I was just curious. your hair so healthy and shiny! do you get any frizziness at all? is it naturally straight? ------------- Cyndie |

Thank you CYN! I used to have bangs, I always thought I had this huge forehead and I should cover it but my boyfriend kept telling me to grow it out (that was a yr ago) so now, they are all grown out. They are not all the same length tho, I have the sides layered a little. The color (I goofed) I dyed black which was a big no - no according to my stylist. What she did was weave in some highlights to soften the color up, turned kinda reddish but I liked it! I am thankful to have found a caring and understanding stylist. The picture made my hair look a lot healthier than it is, my hair is dry at the ends and yes, I get a lot of frizz! I am now using Redken outshine which I love but I feel like it's not enough. My hair is fine mixed with medium corse - wavy. I have to blow dry with a paddle brush to get the frizziness out and to flatten it a little, otherwise, I would look like a chia pet! I have really thick hair!!! ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

CRAZYGIRL, highlights huh? nice :) the reason i asked is becuz i have to color my hair! Once i turned 30 (33 now) i started getting alot of grey in front---the most noticeable spot! :( my hair is thick and wavy--and frizzy too. i need to use the brush to straightened it out---but i dont. my hair is too long and it takes me forever! ------------- Cyndie |

I know what you mean CYN, having a long, thick, wavy hair is hard to maintain. I shower every morning and blow dry. I spend about 30 minutes on hair alone each day. I bought the ION hair dryer, I liked it. It's faster and feels like it doesn't fry my hair. I use Nature's Therapy to protect my hair from the heat (hope it is doing it's job) and I use Redken outshine when it's almost dry and then I start combing. When it's fully dry, that's when I use the paddle brush. It's hard work! My right arm gets really tired. LOL. Have you tried using Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner? If you find a good frizz control stuff, please let me know... Thanks! ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

I have to agree with the Redken All Soft. I started using it around the beginning of may or so, and I absolutely love it! I think this is probably the best shape my hair has been in in a long time. I will have to order some more soon..i'm getting down to about a bottle and a half. I'm thinking of trying the anti-snap too, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm glad that you found a product that works for yoU!!! ------------- |

All Soft makes ever shower heaven. It may smell better than it works, but it works well for me too! If you like the scent Softsoap makes a "milk and honey" shower gel that smells similar--not the same but in the same vein. Great stuff, that All Soft! ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence. Look for intelligence and you will find both.Proud member of the Cult of All Soft |

I have tried the Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner and didn't like it for some reason. I have tried the Anti-Snap, and wondered if I did something wrong because I didn't like it either. I found a Beauty Supply store that is very cool (besides Sally's of course!), they always give you samples to try. Maybe I should try anti-snap again since I have heard great stuff about it. You know what else smells good? Redken Outshine. Smells so good, once you put on your hair. Specially when I start blowdrying. ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

| CrazyGirl, I didn't really like Anti-Snap that much either. I found it made my hair feel stiff. I guess it has too much protein in it for me. :( I love the smell tho! |
