Good morning Dolly~ompom: Good morning everyone~ I'm sorry I wasn't too active yesterday at all. I was so busy at work and then got food poisoning. I'm still not feeling well, staying home for the day. I hope everyone's day is looking better than mine! I got my Ulta order yesterday, and the new brushes from real techniques. omg they are gorgeous. I cannot wait to try them on my face. I also received the NYX concealer palette that looks like the mac one, I want to compare them the NYX one looks darker to be a medium, so I will see how they compare.

I hope you feel better soon :hug:

Good morning, everyone! I've been a bit busy, too.  Hopefully that changes soon.

I hope it changes too

Is anyone here a hair product junkie? I have so many products, but still feel like I haven't found anything to really help my hair. I have super fine and thin hair with dry ends and semi-oily roots (basically, just what happens when you have no hair). I also get a lot of breakage even though I avoid hot tools. I've tried sooooo many things. Any ideas?

By the way, Voltage, thanks for pushing me to buy the Tartelette palette. It's amazing.

What kind of shampoo amd conditioner do you use? I have very thin and fine hair. I've been using Sebastian products. Uh the one for colored hair..that I can't remember the name of lol And for a treatment, if you are looking for a good one...I suggest Biomega Moisture Mist. This stuff is amazing. Oh and Biomega Intensive Conditioner. yea it is for thick coarse hair....but it really helps the breakage and dry ends.

I am! I have enough hair products to stock a salon lol
I started using professional products 3 1/2 years ago because my hair was not growing at all and it just looked dull even though I was not dying it and was rarely using any heating tools. I first bought some Kerastase and Loreal Proffesional shampoos and conditioners and a few months later my hair was super shiny and it was growing really fast. Last spring, it got to my mid back. So of course, I decided that I'm going to dye it for the first time in my life. I got some highlights and it was ok but a month ago, the hair dresser decided to use some bleach and assured me that everything is going to be ok because he uses the best products .. A week later my hair looked horrible! Burnt, dull, super dry. So I bought more hair products and now it looks so much better! Okay, I got carried away. My hair was the same as yours. I found that Kerastase ciment thermique or Redken anti snap before the hair dryer really stopped the breakage. I think that using only tangle teezer also contributed to it. I always use protein products on one wash and moisturising on the other. The Kerastase Ciment products are very good protein ones, also the Alterna RepairX and Redken Extreme. For hydration, I love the purple Alterna (I forgot the name) and the red Tigi Bedhead. If you don't dye your hair, Kerastase Cristalliste is a very good balancing shampoo. The last two Kerastase series are also very good.

I've been using It's A 10 Silk Express shampoo and Alterna Caviar conditioner. I might look into the Biomega mist. I use Keratase Chroma Thermique Thermo Shine as a leave-in heat protectant and Oribe Maximista for volume. If only I just had more hair none of this would be a problem!

Which have helped your breakage? I have the CC cream and conditioner, but I'm not sure those help that much.

I've also used the Alterna Caviar CC and Living Proof ones for my hair. I have fine chemically treated hair since I had it relaxed often and colored as well.

Hmmm, so odd! I used the shampoo but didn't see a big difference between it and my It's A 10 (which is about $10 cheaper per bottle) so I went back to that.

Different shampoos work different I guess.. I have a dry/normal scalp. I can keep my hair unwashed for over a week lmao (the occasional dry shampoo sprays but thats it), maybe that's why it's not breaking? maybe u wash urs too often?


My boyfriend is doing the weirdest thing. Over a year ago I saw on a blog a girl who stopped washing her hair with shampoo. She used baking soda for shampoo and apple cider vinegar as conditioner. Eventually just turned into using water and the PH of her scalp "reset" or something so she doesn't need styling products...
So I told my BF and now he does that.. he hasn't used shampoo in over a year and his hair is really clean lol... once a week he does the baking soda/apple cider thing and his hair is super soft and he spends like no money.

edit: just clarifying we aren't dirty hippies haha... and his hair is pretty long, he can put on a man bun.

I also love the alterna CC line! I got it when it was one of the swphora BF ten dollar deals and have been obssesed ever since. I can also keep my hair unwashed over a week too. Is that the "no Poo method"? I keep hearing about it haha

No poo?? hahaha that's so funny! I guess that's what it is...


He had super oily hair, and now it's like restored to magic.
It's crazy but it worked on him!

Same, BF 10 buck deal got me! I redeemed 500 points for like 2 sets and then I finally bought the bottles haha.. it needed to be done. That stuff works!

Hahah yeah! One of the girls I watch on YouTube recentlty did a video "no poo method update" and I'm like what is this?? So I watched it and it was about how she stopped using shampoo! :O Seems to work for a lot of people. And yeah I have like three sets from Black Friday! I love it. I also bought the living proof one but haven't tried th shampoo / conditioner yet. I love the primer and perfect hair day cream or whatever tho! It's so good.

A lot of naturals use a no poo or low poo regimen. Including Baking Soda or AC to clarify their hair. I really dislike the scent of ACV so I'm not one of them. When I do decide my hair needs that kind of clarifying I use Bentonite clay. Right after that sort of treatment my curls are popping!

I *have* to wash my hair at least every two days with heavy dry shampooing. With no dry shampoo every other day is a must.

I was all set to jump on the NARS foundation, but so many reviews say it's not good on dry skin. Thoughts?

The new one? I have really dry skin and it works fine for me. I moisturize first then apply it..and it is perfect. If I don't moisturize then I notice it catches a bit of dryness, but not much.
