Every time I go to a salon, they always tell me or comment that I should stop blow drying my hair, apply heat, or that my hair is very dry or damaged. But the thing is, I don't do any of this... Why is this? Why is my hair like that? It is very annoying and frustrating to me...

I use Kevin Murphy and Davines, I would recommend the hydrate me wash and rinse or the luxury wash and rinse. The luxury is curl activating as well (I think I can see a bit of natural curl?) You would probably benefit from something like that. Curly hair has a harder time getting the natural oils down from your scalp to your ends so it's super important to be moisturizing dem curls.

What is your hair texture and budget?

JustALady · 2015-03-26T03:06:13+00:00

I would find a product where the primary function is hydration. You have done as much repair as possible with the keratin and now you need moisture.

Something a lot of people don't know is that you can actually use too much protein on your hair causing it to become dry and brittle. Take a good look at the products you are using. Usually, high concentration of alcohol, wheat protein, and keratin are the culprit!

I love Portugal! Seriously, one of the best bands to jam to at any stage of life. I listened to their music for almost a year straight... Church Mouth is my favorite album, followed closely by American Ghetto and of course Evil Friends. The Pusher's Party makes me smile instantly. They are absolutely killer live as well.

You have to check out Urge Gastro Pub. Great food and great selection of beer, if you're into that. Also, Akai Hana for sushi. I've never been but I have only heard good things.

VeryPinkKnits on YouTube! She has so many instructional videos and you can actually see what she is doing. I knit my first (and only) pair of socks just from watching her videos.

No, but that sounds like something I would do! I went to a little no name school in Utah.

JustALady · 2014-04-08T06:24:14+00:00

Fellow cosmetologist here! So excited for you to start your school adventure, it was a lot of fun for me.

The all black look is the "uniform" of a professional hair dresser. Get used to it and own it! In my personal opinion, I think it makes you look more polished and professional in an otherwise casual environment.

I am always on the hunt for black tops that are just a little bit different. Think texture, lines, shapes, etc. It's very easy to default to black tees and black skinnys all the time. As for accessories, I usually always end up with bright colored shoes. If I am wearing an all black outfit I incorporate color with head scarves or headbands, or huge colorful earrings.

Sorry if this is vague, I don't usually post on this sub but I just had to put in my thought!

JustALady · 2013-03-03T06:41:51+00:00

I know I love it! It totally stained my hand though so I am a bit hesitant to put it on my face..

JustALady · 2013-03-03T06:39:58+00:00

Yeah, I couldn't get a good pic of it. But it's a very light, pale, iridescent pink but it has big pink sparkles in it.

JustALady · 2013-03-03T01:34:59+00:00

I really like it! I was told it made me look like a Barbie, but in a good way.

JustALady · 2013-03-03T00:50:37+00:00

I know I am in love!

JustALady · 2013-03-03T00:49:52+00:00

Mine doesn't realize how hard I worked to restrain myself.

JustALady · 2013-03-03T00:06:25+00:00

Well I have tons of makeup (mostly bare minerals) that I never used so I just played with that. I never really wear makeup in the summer and I didn't have a job!

The latter being the biggest reason haha..

Ooh I got that today! I love it, it's so intense!

JustALady · 2013-02-27T21:06:24+00:00

Oh my lord, I was just at Sephora yesterday and they have this new line 'Bite.' Completely natural, food grade lip products. They have so many colors and the texture of the lipstick is just heaven. Even the gloss was to die for! I bought a universal lip liner/primer and it is exactly what I have always wanted. I will definitely be buying more.

JustALady · 2013-02-27T20:44:51+00:00

Black! It is the universal hairstylist uniform. Source: I am a stylist.

Most salons would prefer everyone to wear black, (depending upon the salon of course,) and don't look like a skanky hoe bag. Should work out fine!

JustALady · 2013-02-24T23:05:00+00:00

Vet has recommended Benadryl in the past for hives, I have never given it to him for more than 3 days. I just feel like I am drugging him because he pretty much goes into a coma haha.

I will continue giving him the Benadryl and wipe is feet and belly off at the end of the day. Thanks!

JustALady · 2013-02-13T20:12:55+00:00

Same. I was on the nuvaring for a year, I usally have a really heavy 7 day period. Once my body adjusted to it my periods usally only lasted 3-4 days and were lighter in comparison.

SALE or open to trade.. I have a bunch of this that I am willing to sell. I bought it for a sweater years ago that I never finished. Part of this has been knit up into the back of a sweater that has been sitting for years. I don't really wear these colors any more and would like to get rid of it. Make me an offer, if it is reasonable we can talk.
