I use color enhancing products for my highlights. My deep conditioner is Moroccanoil (yes it's one word) intense hydrating mask. After the shower I towel dry then add a few drops of Moroccanoit Oil Treatment, this gives it a soft but NONGREASY feeling. The oil soaks in and the hair is not greasy like you would think. Then I use CHI TURBO Ionic blowdryer ( NEVER USE ANYTHING BUT AN IONIC BLOWDRYER!!!) and a CHI large round (metal colored bristles not the nylon or brown ones) brush. I clip the top 1/3 of my hair up on top of my head and blow dry in 2 inch sections with the brush tilted toward my face. Blow dry the section SLOWLY , SLOWLY!! as you pull the brush. I still blow the lower 2/3s in two layers (an upper and lower section). Ionic blowdryers require direct contact (I mean 1 inch away) with the hair it is drying. After drying spray lightly with hair spray and blow dry one more time each section, this seals the hair shaft and helps protect it from FRIZZING! Believe me I live in South Florida (since 1974) and I KNOW about frizz! Every morning LIGHTLY spray the bottom 2/3 only (not the top) with a spray shine and brush. To refresh the bounciness, BLOW DRY with the IONIC dryer for 2 minutes!! You will be amazed at how this helps limp or dull hair look better!! And it will neutalize odors from smoke or sweat too!! You don't even need a brush just blow dry all over and flip your head over. I am 42 and my hair looks as healthy as my 15 yr olds. NO REGULAR BLOW DRYER EVER! If you remember one thing it's that one.

I'ld hate to burst your bubble but hair is made of dead skin cells and extra proteins from your body. If your so concerned about a proven tip being "disgusting" SHAVE YOUR HEAD! I live by the beach and regularly swim in not just the ocean but the nearby pool just about everyday. And guess what. I RINSE MY HAIR as does almost everyone I know here. I'm not one for combing conditioner through my hair, although I know plenty who do it. Instead I condition my hair as usual and then recondition only rinsing about half of it out. To where I can still feel it in the hair but not excessively. That works!

For a lot of people, washing your hair every day is too drying and your hair can in turn become brittle with over-drying. I wear my hair VERY long, but I go to the lengths to keep up with it. That includes washing it every 2, maybe 3 days depending. A blowdryer can also be harmful if used often. Different things work for different people. It doesn't mean it's disgusting........... now if you're going weeks w/o washing and your scalp is flaking all over the place... then it's time for a shower.

Ok, you obviously are not a very intelligent person.....because if you had any clue about ANYTHING, you would know that washing your hair everyday is actually BAD FOR YOUR HAIR. But instead you are one of those idiots that believes "the word that goes around" and think that you are, like, "uncool" or something if you don't wash your hair every day, instead of actually using your own mind for once and thinking for yourself about WHAT MAKES SENSE!! In reality you should go about two or three days.....that is not to say that if you get dirty you shouldn't take a shower, obviously if you need one, you need one....but if you are a typical idiot girl, (which there are alot of those in our society these days) you don't do ANYTHING to GET physically dirty, so people like you (who do not do manual labor) taking a shower everyday is nothing but a waste of water, time, product (which is only costing you money...gee no wonder the backs of shampoos say to use daily), and is only doing more harm than good to your hair and skin. If you were a smart person in anyway you would know these things and more importantly you would also realize that by washing your hair EVERYDAY you are washing out all the natural oils that YOUR HAIR NEEDS!!! THE NUTRIENTS AND VITAMINS THAT YOUR HAIR NEEDS!!! Yeah if you don't BRUSH your hair those minerals and oils will build up and look greasy (after a couple days) but that is why it is important to brush your hair. Not so that your hair lays perfectly where you want it to....a conceited, self-consumed idiot would think that....it is to extend those oils that your hair needs through your hair and to the ends....BECAUSE YOUR HAIR NEEDS IT. BUT, if you are an idiot and wash your hair every day, not because you are a construction worker, and not because you work with horses everyday, not even because you were rolling in the mud......just because your an idiot that simply doesn't know any better....then your hair isn't getting those nutrients. Considering there are alot of idiots like you out there....that explains why everytime I go into a salon they are praising my "amazingly" healthy hair that so many other people don't have, and why I'll still have mine at 50 and you won't. I'm glad I could teach your tiny little mind something, hopefully you were able to retain it. Also......only an IDIOT would think that a PROFESSIONAL "doesn't know what they are talking about". That's right, stay in school kids and think for yourselves or this could happen to you too. Maybe one day this "poopstainpee" (nice name for yourself) will go on to finish school and "MAYBE" be a professional in something (unlikely) only to have people who are too young and too stupid to know ANYTHING tell them that THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! in their own profession. Do you hear yourself when you speak or do you just talk out of your @$$ all the time???

Just a quick note to people who think not washing your hair everyday is disgusting...just because you don't wash your hair doesn't mean you can't take a shower idiot...everyone(no matter how active or inactive they are) needs to take a shower every day. That's just good personal hygiene...HOWEVER washing your hair every day is bad(as well as blowdrying it all the time)...solutions???

1) If you don't mind blowdrying or want to restyle, just wet your hair. This allows you to have the oppurtunity to restyle your hair or whatever you want to do.

2) This is my personal favorite(because i hate blowdrying)-USE A SHOWER CAP! Your hair doesn't get wet and and you get to be all squeaky clean...wow!

You don't have curly or thick hair, do you? And please keep in mind that although we don't wash our hair every day, we do wash other things every day. So, we're not as disgusting as someone who runs off at the mouth before consulting their brain.

Personally I find a leave-in conditioner like infusium does well for me after my normal shampoo and conditioner, but my hair is not as coarse or curly as some. Am still looking for a good deep-conditioner though.

I have noticed that brushing every day is killer on my ends. I have layers, and brushing turns my hair into steel wool. I finger comb between washing, and comb after using leave-in conditioner. Otherwise, I do as little teasing to my hair as possible.

Also, if you have allergies, read labels carefully. You would be amazed at how many products have ingredients like wheat in them.

could you please tell me what the aspirin and water solution tip is? i would very much appreciate it. thank you
debbie

can you explain to me the aspirin treatment...I've only heard of aspirin and honey(or water) for your face but not for hair...what does it do?

Thanks!

The aspirin water thing strips your hair of harmful things that have accumulated in your hair. The article recomends five aspirins to a quart of water. That's for older individuals who's color spots from acumulated product and other ickies in the air. Us yound folks don't need so much of course. But when you live by the beach and are active in the ocean and pools, ect. it is mandatory to get those ickies from the water out quick, before the damage. Solution? Crunch up 1-2 aspirins and mix with water in a large spray bottle. In the shower, after swimming, sray in hair and let set for about 2 mins. Then rinse out and condition as usual. Sometimes it helps to mix in 1-3 drops of rosemary oil or other scented oils. Adds a nice fragrance.
