Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Now see, if you're Cheap like me, you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. I color my own hair and have done for 20 years. First it was henna, then when my grey started accumulating I shifted to reds. I have had some pretty weird reds, not because I've done anything wrong, but because the color itself was pretty weird. I've even done maroon a couple of times, which has mellowed to a beautiful red... At anyrate, I have to say, for 30 minutes out of my day ever 2 to 3 months (sometimes 4 if I'm really lazy) it's worth it to me to do it myself. I go to a professional beauty shop, buy the stuff with no instructions (just a tiny bottle) (by Loreal because I'm worth it) which costs like 5 bucks, the gloves and the other stuff (forgotten the name of the white cream stuff), a little vaseline and voila! However, it must be said, I wont do my own perms, they stink too much and although I do a pretty good job myself, I go get my hair cut now. For years I did it because I was too broke to pay to have it done. Now I just do it myself to fix someone elses bad job. which is WAY off the subject, but I'm rambling waiting to piss someone off at e-bay by putting in a last minute bid...I HATE people like me!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 MM Everyone, I am always dying my hair, 98% grey at 43. And I love to keep changing my color, I like to be different. But my friend, professional, always does it for me. He did such a great job on my daughter in law's hair and I said I would like that as well. Well I don't look like her and my hair is now over processed. I need him to fix it but he said he won't till my hair mends. Well I can't walk around with jet black hair and dark red hightlight that are not evenly throughtout my hair. So I am hoping that someone has a herbal conditioner recipe I can apply to my hair and repair the dammage in 2 weeks. He is going to Salem for Samhain.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Oi Vey, do I understand what you are going through. I cut off all my waist length hair in March just so I could start over cause it was getting so bad from YEARS and YEARS of abusing it. I'd go from black to red to green and purple in less than a month *LOL* I liked to make a hot oil treatment of Olive Oil and Jojoba with a touch of Rosemary EO added to it. I'd warm it, put copious quantities of it in my hair, wrap a towel around it, and then sleep with it in my hair. That would really perk my hair up! I dunno if that'll help it totally within 2 weeks, but it was a nice treatment back in the days when I had hair and worth a shot! Good luck! *Smile* Chris (list mom - whose hair is not growing back fast enough for me http://www.alittleolfactory.com Nightengale [nightengaleoils] Friday, October 25, 2002 10:10 AM Herb Witch; HerbalWitchcraft; Kitchen Witch; Kitchen Witches; oils Herbs Need help with over processed hair MM Everyone, I am always dying my hair, 98% grey at 43.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hi- Because of the weirdness of emails, I haven't gotten your original ? yet, but did see Chris' reply. Anyway, I did nothing but chemical processes to hair for a living for seven years, my favorite thing to do was corrective color - fixing what other people had screwed up - so I would back up what Chris says. We used to recommend just straight jojoba gently warmed and left in the hair over night every night. Be sure that you are using a professional shampoo (not drugstore stuff) specifically for chemically treated hair. And he SHOULD fix your color for nothing, since he is the one who screwed it up. But it might be worth your money - and it will cost you - to find a color specialist in your area, as corrective color is a HIGHLY specialized area, you really, really need to know what you are doing in order to fix bad color. If I can help with any advice, please let me know. I can find the contact #s for professional orgs that can point you in the right direction in your area.

I need him to >fix it but he said he won't till my hair mends. Years ago, I read in Jeanne Rose's first book that walnut oil was the best conditioner for hair, and she was right. Just get some of the stuff from the health food store. You can use the oil for salad dressings, too, which is nice :-) Just heat some gently and apply to hair, cover with plastic bag, sit in the sun or at least in a warm room for an hour or so. Gently shampoo out. Repeat as necessary. If you're not against 'store bought' hair conditioners, I cannot recommend Infusium 23 Revitalizing Conditioner and Infusium 23 LeaveIn Treatment enough. I have dry, ethnic hair, and using the conditioner scrunched on the ends with a good squirt of the LeaveIn on top, using them both as a leave-in product, with some mousse on top, has made my hair glorious. It's always soft and silky, with shiny curls, and never frizzy. It's a wonderful combo. I got them 2 for 1 at the drugstore recently, a great buy http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hi Lynda, I wish you lived near me in New Orleans. He didn't charge me he is a friend, so that leaves me with two problems. I don't pay so I can't complain and he is a friend and to go somewhere else will insult him. He does great on my daughter and daughter in law which I am greatful. Nothing worst then a 18 and 22 year old with bad hair, and I would be the one to hear about it. I must say I look good for Halloween. My co- workers said I certainly look like a witch now. Of course they are going by TV which all people do and I am so tired of that. Aren't you. But we have singing gigs starting again and I can't look like this on stage so I will start treatments tonight. I love this e-mail group!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 MM Kathleen, I don't pay it is a friend. I couldn't keep up if I had to pay I have to dye every 3 week. I have done it myself but I can't do the highlights. I have never tired red, I think I am I always wanted red, husband not to keen on red, old girlfriend crushing the heart as a teenager. Well at 42 he should be over it , right. I'll ask about red. Go to www.neworleanslegendsgold.com that is me or course with wigs as Liza but if you go to the DJ service that is me with light hair. See if you think I would look ok with red hair and what color red, if you would.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Lynda, Someone was just mentioning red hair. I have never tried red, but I always wanted to. So if you don't mind I would like your opion if I would look good with red hair and what color red should I tell him to us. If you go to www.neworleanslegendsgold.com I have a wig on for Liza but if you go to the pictures for King of Kool DJ service that is me with brown hair. So I trust your opion as a professional if you don't mind.
