Great minds think alike. :lol: But you're probably right about percentages. I have never tried for a strawberry blonde. My hair is too dark for it.

Flossiebell, I've tried to write a reply to your post about four times and I always end up waffling on for paragraphs and deleting it! :rolleyes: ...

You sound like you are having a grand time with your new shorter hair. Do I understand correctly that you no longer need your mom's help with...

I generally mean Suave or something of that sort - but it depends where you are as to what you can buy. I like to shop at Dollar Store for things of...

I agree, the minerals in the air that are dripping down through the cave walls are probably not helping. You might try adding a chelating shampoo...

Honestly, I kind of love some squared V hemlines! It's my goal to have one, the best of both worlds :P I have been feeling kind of blah about...

Harsh and cheap don't go hand in hand. You have to look at ingredients. Most people know 0 about ingredients, plus you never know in what percentage...

Thanks for the advice 😊. Can I just ask why use cheap shampoo and conditioner? Just wondering because I thought that the cheaper it was the harsher...

Unfortunately my uniform is pretty specific (US National Park Service) and I don't want to falsely claim a religious exemption. Also, I love my...

I'm no expert, but do you have very hard water where you are working? Perhaps minerals in the water could be affecting your hair and you might need...

That is not a bad idea!

Could you try covering your hair?

(I posted this in the wrong thread a moment ago, whoops...) Back after a while lurking to beg for advice! I took a summer job giving cave tours in...

Wrong thread, sorry! I hope your hair troubles improve soon!

Also, make-up can be a fantastic idea! I don't mean piling it on to try and hide your natural skin, but a very simple swap to a tinted lip gloss and...

Some form of wispy bits (like a halo) is actually pretty normal, but this beats the norm or you wouldn't be discussing it, right? :) You could trim...

This gave me a good chuckle! :laugh: I'm running low on shampoo so I grabbed the dove bond strength shampoo at the store today. It's the only...

I paid the water bill!

How frustrating when sombody else decides what to do with your hair. Breakage is sad, but it's the name of the game and you just have to live...

I was able to put my hair in a low bun with a hair fork :) Before now, I only had length to do buns at a particular spot right on the back of my...

Mine's gotten WAY MORE lax over the years. I used to comb it every day. Now twice a week. I actually read here "less is more". Hoping it's true...

Oh yes, I love how strong colours set each other off! Green looks amazing with pink too, and orange, purple….someone on here gave a tip once of using...

Honestly, very little in my hair care routine has changed in the last years. The most relevant things are that I use a higher amount of product, of...

Discovery of a strong hold gel & diffusing before it gets left to gravity, so not letting gravity mess w/ the drying process (cupping the diffuser to...

Yes! I know what you mean about bird feathers my pink clothes collection keeps growing to. I'm thinking of getting into teal/turquoise accessories as...

I'm 52. I came from having to wash 2/3 times a week. Then in my 30s/40s my scalp eased on up and I could stretch my washes to a week. And it stayed...

I think it looks REALLY good on you, for what it's worth. If I didn't know better I'd think you were naturally somewhere in the red spectrum to begin...

My first thought was strawberry blonde, too! I think you'd need more than 10% henna though. On to color theory! Naturally, I'm a muted...
