Hello everyone! I've noticed everyone seems to have found certain products that have worked great- I thought it would be fun to have a place to list things we love and things we don't  I'll start! Things I love and would need if stranded on a deserted island: - Smith's Rosebud Salve and/or Kiehl's Lip Balm
- Tweezerman Cuticle Clippers
- Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
- Evansgarden face care regiman
- Terax Crema Conditioner
- PhytoPro Intense Volume Mouse
- Max Factor Colour Adapt Makeup in Bronze
- Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara in Smoke
- Shu Uemera Eye Lash Curler
- Paula Dorf Total Camouflage in Sand/Nude
This is just a start, of course! I guess if I was stranded on a deserted island I might not need EVERY item, but you never know what you might need  I LOVE products- Sephora is a giant playground to me. I'm open to trying just about anything once- you never know what you might discover. Hope there are more product junkies and can't wait to hear what you can't live without! |

Sos- Glad to see a fellow product-junkie! Since you love good hair products- have you heard of and/or tried Philip B? Sinfully expensive, but the white truffle shampoo is well worth it- I have fine, thin hair but of course do anything to make it look like it has more body without damaging it- and this keeps it shining- it better, at $50 a bottle  I debated for months and decided to splurge- of course now I can't live without it, but oh well! |

Hi ceej1-
I would never suggest not coloring hair- if you like to, then do it- but I can identify with the damaged-looking results! I have been the same color, forever- but it still dries out my tresses. I'm blond and get highlights and bleach is rough!!!
I am in the US, so I don't know if you can find these things, but the Philip B. White truffle shampoo is AMAZING- turns my straw into silky strands without killing the body of my hair. It is ridiculously expensive, the only drawback.
I have also heard Nioxin products are great and they are even frequently recommended for hair-pullers (thrichotillomania sp?) because it helps regrow hair- it's also great for people just like yourself.
I also make sure to aim the blowdryer down the hair shaft- this delays split ends and helps with shine. I love the Kiehl's Deep Penetrating Hair Cream- I put it on my hair at night after taking a shower and sleep in it at least 2 or 3 times a week. If you do this use a clarifying shampoo every once in a while to get rid of build up which makes hair look dull.
Sorry for my novel of a reply- I'm just excited to offer input! Hope you find this helpful!

Hey Ceej1, R.P. and Heather, Ceej1 I had really bad damaged hair some years back, from a really bad perm and I always lightened my hair on top of the bad perm...I tried every thing...the only thing I could do was to wait until it grew out and got all the damaged hair cut off...but I don't know if your hair is that damaged...a good conditioner that you can sleep in and hot oil from VO5, also a light spray leave in conditioner might help ...R.P great thread it's nice to see other suggestions...I can't wait to try that hair product ...Heather any oil control foundation will give a nice matte finish...or product that controls oil under your favorite foundation will work... o.x., sos |
