follow up on the spikey hair cut
Comments (3)Well, thanks for letting us know!!! I'd sure feel bad if I encouraged you and you posted that you hated it and were going to wear a hat for a month!! LOL!! Glad to hear you like it. Sounds really cute. Sometimes my beautician uses a razor too. I don't really understand how it texturizes the hair, but I guess it does. Sounds like you have a good beautician....See MoreLet's talk hair products
Comments (12)My hair is very thin and fine so volumizing products have always been a problem since it builds up and becomes sticky very easily. I have used very expensive brands like Kerastase, Fekkai, Shu Uemura & Oribe and just can't justify the expense anymore. I've finally settled on Pureology. It's not drugstore cheap but a very good mid-range product. So far, I have found all of their products to be superior and leaves my hair soft, shiny and with volume without feeling like I have a bunch of product in my hair. It's sulfate-free too. The one negative is that they really need to work on the smell. It's not bad but it could be a lot better....See MoreHair products to smooth frizzy, gray hair
Comments (40)I have always had coarse/frizzy, and very thick, hair which is not the same as curly/frizzy hair. The best way for me to tame it is to blow it completely dry. That works mostly fine in the winter, but in summer/humid weather, I need to use product. For my hair, Straight Works by Paul Mitchell gives me the smooth shine. It‘s put on while hair is damp and then blown dry. I’m only 52 but have a lot of gray and my hair grows very fast which means coloring my roots every four weeks. I have no desire at my age, especially since I still have kids at home, to go gray, even though it’s becoming more trendy. I’ve noticed that as I get closer to time for coloring, the texture of my hair gets coarser, so I have started using Straight Works more often in the winter. My daughter, who also has very thick, coarse hair that is also curly/wavy sometimes uses It‘s a 10 that has been mentioned above....See MoreSuggestions for hair thickening products?
Comments (43)IIRC, nutritional deficiencies take around 6 months to show in hair (around 3 for skin). Hair is the last place to show a nutritional deficiency so when we do supplement for skin and hair, we need to give it time to work. It's a matter of months, not weeks, before seeing results. That said, I Googled to confirm my recollection of the time spans and found this study which says certain supplements (such as selenium) actually contribute to hair loss and combinations of certain vitamins are contraindicated. So. Not simple. Quote bolded below about Vit A. Vitamin A "While deficiency has not been linked to hair loss, high levels of vitamin A have. In fact, one study found that in a mouse AA model, reduction of vitamin A in the diet actually delayed hair loss onset [56]. In humans, hypervitaminosis A may result from over-supplementation and has a strong known link to hair loss with other effects such as skin, vision, and bone changes [4,8]." This study does say research in humans is lacking. Have we mentioned Philip Kingsley products yet? He was a "trichologist", a hair and scalp specialist and apparently, he developed a lot of effective hair products. They're pricey things. The NYC and London clinics offer 2-hour consultations. They also offer virtual consultations. As for burning scalp (dysesthesia?), a lot of unknown about that as well. My advice is keep being your own detective. Be observant and open-minded (but not so much your brains fall out? :)). A food and mood journal for a few months might offer valuable clues. (I discovered the cause and simple solution for my own "nothing we can do medically, here are some antidepressants" chronic health issue so I'll always vouch for this approach. We know ourselves best, in some ways.) Last bit of advice: start with easiest, least invasive change or product first and give it time to work before trying a second. (That said, make sure your thyroid levels are checked - the complete panel, not just the TSH levels!)...See MoreSueb20
