i have no idea. i never blowdry; in fact, i'm not even sure if the one in my house works. haven't used it in years!


the salon lady today said that my hair looks very healthy. other than the ends being a little dry, which is probably to be expected since i haven't had it cut since november, she said it was in great shape.
 
picked up a couple of new things- none of which are natural!

joico's k-pak deep reconstructor. it is supposed to be THEE miracle repair treatment. we shall see (even though my hair is okay right, i plan on lightening by a couple of shades soon).

bumble and bumble's surf spray- this is really funny b/c i live a block form the ocean, but *shrug* we'll check it out. i actually wish wal-mart and what-not stilled carried john frieda's "ocean waves". it smelled so good!

i did.. i did it once and i smelled like a pickle for 3 days.

im not sure if i'm imagining this but it seemed like my hair dried much faster than normal after the vinegar rinse.

What do you guys use when you're hair is super dried out?

I have light brown/dark blonde hair naturally but I always get highlights... my hair is so dried out now though from straightening it, curling it, and bleaching it I can't stand it. I have some deep conditioning products but I'm not really a fan and not seeing much difference. My friend suggested I use mayonaise on my hair (?) but besides being vegan I don't use any products that are tested on animals. Have any of you found some good products or remedies that help with conditioning/moisturizing?

The entire Pureology line is vegan and not tested on animals. It is pricey. It is sulfate free so it won't strip your color.

I just went from dishwater blonde to level 9 reddish-blonde. It won't seem to lighten more than 2 levels anymore and I don't want to bring out the bleach. 9/10 for results, though. Go Feria!

When I told my mom about the vinegar, she actually warned me about it possibly drying out your hair. My grandma used it on my mom's hair when she was little, I think it's kind of cool that I'm using it on my hair now. :) I haven't noticed it drying out my hair at all, but I guess it would depend on what kind of hair you have.

I didn't notice a real strong smell either, are you maybe using too much? I put the vinegar in a spray bottle and just spritz a little on and then rub it into my hair.

I like the Bumble & Bumble, but not as much as I liked John Frieda. You can still find some on E-bay sometimes and it's still cheaper than the B&B. :)
 
I recently started shaving again after years of waxing. I hate the feeling of stubble... I decided yesterday that I am not shaving again ever and that waxing is worth the hassle, unless it is some kind of time emergency.
 
Does anyone here use tanning lotion or do the mystic tan? I really want a light tan but I don't like to get sunburnt. It's actually still pretty cold where I live so I can't lay out or anything. During the summer I go outside but I don't like to lay out for extended periods of time either.

In my experience self tanning has been kind of fake looking... anyone have a good recommendation besides going to a tanning bed? I will never do that again haha..
 
No I haven't myself. I'm wondering if that's the best method since you wouldn't be subjec to streaking, etc. Anyone tried that?
 
Mystic tan actually works very well, I did that for prom, you just need to make sure to cover your hands and feet in lotion or something otherwise it gets in the creases. The people who worked at the place I went to were pretty good so they were able to get a good color for me, thats pretty important, make sure you talk to someone who knows what they're doing.
 
I forgot to mention, it doesnt last long, like 3 days I think is average, and its not cheap, so unless its for a special event or something, you may want to find something that either lasts longer or is cheaper.
 
I'll paint my nails or whatever as long as I get to chill with the girls. It is one of my techniques to make females more comfortable with me, sometime after letting them know that I'm straight.

/me breaks out his eyeliner and skin cream.
 
about 4-5 years ago, i went super anti-sun. this takes a lot of self-control when you live on the beach, btw.

so, i was trying out different self-tanners. the results were great and super natural. no one suspected they were fake. here were my issues:

1. yucky smell- like chemicals gone super foul.
2. drying time...and then it would still come off on the inside of my clothes (it did wash out though).
3. when it did start to come off, it looked gross. it looked my neck had some weird disease.

it was good besides that though- cheaper that tanning bed and spray tans.
 
^A friend of mine a few years ago went through a phase where she would avoid the sun at all costs. If there was any sun outside when we were just walking around, she'd cover her head with a sweater haha it was definetly more work then it seems.

As for the tanners, at least for me, the smell seems to go away after just a shower
