What are some of the things that you put on your hair to make it softer, shinier, and healthier? I have heard of some women using Mayonnaise to make it shinier and Lemon juice or vingagar to strip the excess build-up caused by conditioners?

I heard that raw egg is good can't say i tried it though

olive oil if you have thick or curly hair.

Me too, my Mum used to use that, she always used to rinse her long hair ( which was right down here back...the sexy thang!! and she was!!! - used to get the lads crazy! ) with rain water...she also used to iron her hair at weekends so she could get it real straight!

oh that sounds healthy

OK, here's a tip, don't use beer! LOL!
It makes hair all fuzy and dry!
I dunno who's dumb idea that was, but when your 13, you'll do anything to get a boys attention!LOL!

Make sure you consume an adequate supply of protein, hair is all keratin protein.

Shampoo and condition your hair regularly, with products that do NOT leave a strong smell in your hair (no matter how nice the smell). Typically those leave a residue that builds on your hair, leaving it weighted down and sometimes causing hair rot - like those with parafin wax.

AVOID Shampoo/Conditioner combo's! They are worthless.

Don't overprocess your hair by relentlessly perming, coloring, relaxing, and/or bleaching your hair.

Avoid putting it up in a tight ponytail regularly - this stresses the hair, and is the leading cause of breakage.

If you want shine, you could apply a semi-permanent haircolor from the drugstore that is one shade lighter than your own. This adds a great deal of shine, less noticable on curly hair. Or if you don't want to color your hair then purchase a "shine" product, like Sebastian's Laminates for that. Don't overuse, or it will look like you have oily hair.

If you insist on swimming in a pool (chlorine), by all means make sure you shower first, and add some form of leave-in conditioner to your hair! I've seen MUCH damage from chlorine build-up on hair. Or consider wearing a swim cap. The damage it does to chemically-treated hair is not worth it!!!



I use Paul Mitchell's Shampoo One, The Detangler Conditioner, and for hold, Freeze n Shine. In the winter, to prevent static in my hair, I also add Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner. (a leave-in conditioner)

Oh, and another thing... don't smoke. The nicotine adds a dull, yellow stain to hair.

DORA said:

Unless you are blonde.

REDFEATHERS said:

Rusk makes excellent products, I highly recommend them.

I use to put stale beer on my hair! My hair is dark. It made my hair so beautiful, and shiny.

sag10 said:

Why would you waist good beer like that?

althom said:

Stale beer is good? After the adults drank all that they could, I would take their leftovers and let is sit for a day or two.

sag10 said:

I have golden blonde hair and I use beer on it sometimes, too. The beer really does make the hair shiny and I found it also gives it a bit more body.

LaVisHh said:

Thank you LaVisHh, they sent us lots of freebies...my hair felt in great condition after I used their products...Is it a 'salon only' product, or can you buy it in stores in the US???


I have their contact...but dont want bother them...

grr... ... damn different colored tiles...

Also a mixture of Avocado and olive oil or mineral oil is great as a condition (wash after) too, gives lots of protein

REDFEATHERS said:

Salon only.

EllisDee said:

:O

That's one thing I've never done...the facial thing, and have no intentions of doing so.

LaVisHh said:

... geez... don't be shy about it or anything...
