Re: Hair Remedies

Just found a new dominican salon that has extended hours.. had my 1st doobie -- well a modified doobie because it was close to closing time.. Sat under the dryer for 20 mins, then my hair was blowed dried and wrapped with pins. From what I understand the doobie is the roller set with a brushout and wrap... all for $10

Re: Hair Remedies

Pantene's line for women of color works wonderfully for me.

Someone asked about coloring for permed hair. I love Redken semi-color. Redken is the only coloring product that actually makes my hair look healthier and shiny. I used it when I was wearing my natural also. Sebastian 2+1 conditioner revived my hair after I had my first child and all my hair fell out amazing product IMO.

Re: Hair Remedies

Thank you for this list of products. I am in menopause and my hair has suffered. The hot flashes (sweats), which originate in my head and travel to just below the breasts where it the sweat pools, wears away a perm quickly and makes the hair dry and brittle.

For years I had long, pretty hair. Then menopause took it away.

I began using Profectiv products with Tea Tree Oil on a daily basis over the holidays and the results have been amazing. No perm and the hair is straight. Would be straighter if I used the blow dryer and ceramic flat iron (recommended by the girl in the beauty supply store). Since I can't take the heat, I have not blown it dry or used a flat iron and I am loving the results. Felt better because the hair is looking better.

So again, thank you for the list. I will pass this useful info along.
