Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Dear Dianne- You are welcome and it sounds like you have a great hairdresser! Re: combat boots. Hi, Thanks! I last saw my hairdresser in early December. We have both been away from home for awhile. My hair is now longer than I want it to be, so I made my appointment for this week. At our last appointment, she said that my hair was looking much better -- the dryness on the ends was only "slight" and has been getting progressively better. I attribute that both to her management and to my own maintenance. I like my hair to look nice, but I do not scrub the life out of it either. Truth be told, I like my platinum hair! It isn't all that color (yet?), but it started like a tiara at the front of my head and is gradually moving back. The rest is a combination of my original deep brown and a kind of blondish to platinum -- almost as if I had highlighted it. People actually ask me who does my hair color! I tell them that God did it! LOL! , my hairdresser, said that she would get me a product to help with the hair re-growth and after checking my note from her, it is the same product that you mentioned. I will ask her to order it for me this week. The idea of a perm was just kind of a whim. Considering how styles my hair, I really do not *need* one. Perhaps I am getting lazy? Could be... The products that I do use on my hair are all "light", meaning that they do not get sticky on my scalp or "strip" the hair. I leave that "deep cleaning" to . My scalp is looking really good now, but and I have been working on this since 1999. Thanks for the info! I have printed it out and will take it with me to my next appointment. will be glad to hear that her opinion of the Nioxin product is seconded by another professional.

This has all started happening to me in the last 6 mos. So having seen it on my hair myself, thyroid hair is different. When I felt it on my clients, especially home color clients I always felt like the fell they had on their ends, like being coated, was a result of home color use. Repeated overlapping of color. But, now going thru this, I know this may not be the case. Mine being short was very coated. It felt like Barbie doll hair. What was left of it. Did not seem like any gel, volumizer, paste or hairspray helped it. I cut it shorter as I stated. The shampoos I once used, still left it feeling dry. So I switched to more moisturizing ones. I am not on treatment yet. A great shampoo that you will have to ask your hairdresser about is Nioxin - it is a growth stimulater system that contains a shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment that will make sure the poor are not clogged. It is a very cool antiseptic menthol feel and the scalp treatment you can actually feel the heat increasing circulation to these cells in your scalp. And that is what you want. When hair falls out, the cell producing the follicle may just become inactive for awhile and this product will try and "wake up" that cell. And it has been quite successful without having to add on another med. Like I said this is natural. I don't know the state of your hair at this state, let your hairdresser check it out. If the hair is still feeling like barbie doll hair on the ends, I would not even risk perming it. If your hair has started to feel like "normal" hair again - she must make that decision. Hair that is not healthy because of our health, will never ever look healthy after a perm, if it takes at all. Color is a different story. For instance, I don't mind touching my scalp up to cover my grey, since that is regrowth, but I would not overlap onto my previous colored hair. I hope this helps you. I am sure your hairdresser knows your hair very well, and with you on treatment your hair may be feeling better and thru your consultation, she will be able to advise you. Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Wella has a product called " Liquid Hair " that is a lifesaver, it really gives body. I used it for years when my hair was limp and Barbie-doll like.
