Oh, I love that man.<br /><br />I think I am going to color and then get some partial high/low lights to start. Lori, I also want to try that DEMI-permanent hair color. I have tried their permanent and I liked it, but the root thing is SO annoying especially because my hair keeps getting darker and darker. Plus I can't seem to find the color I like and though it is not bad it turns out nothing like I thought so I stopped using it. Going with that kind may actually be better! I will send you a message to see what you suggest. <br /><br />Sarah I love letting my hair air dry and see how crazy it will look the next day! It is a surprise every time :)<br /><br />S.W. your hair looked SUPER cute when you cut it, maybe I will be brave and cut a little more off!Wrestling Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215343504044584811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-9265071157397991152010-04-05T13:27:49.453-07:002010-04-05T13:27:49.453-07:00Haha... am I the only one who thinks it's funn...Haha... am I the only one who thinks it's funny that you've said "shedding" about a million times in this post? Not that I have any other suggestions as to what to call it!<br /><br />I LOVE Pureology shampoo. I happen to use the color care one, but I'm sure they are all good. I used to use Biolage... but it TOTALLY made my scalp dry & itchy.<br /><br />Also, about hair cuts... don't be afraid to chop some off! I used to be afraid of the chop, but now I'm a fan. Short hair is super nice... or, if you're not that brave, I find just a couple inches makes my hair feel SO much healthier.<br /><br />Good luck, friend!Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244350406740974033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-4970700998566664762010-04-02T09:20:36.768-07:002010-04-02T09:20:36.768-07:00OMG. I had this long-ass comment typed and the my...OMG. I had this long-ass comment typed and the my effing Internet connection dropped and I lost everything! FML.<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />Hi, J. I miss you.<br /><br />Ask your doctor to write you a prescription for Clobex shampoo. My hair was thinning and my scalp was flaking off in sheets (that's hot) until I used it. Like Nadja suggested, I had seborrheic dermatitis. T-Gel didn't work for me, personally, and I didn't like how it altered my haircolor. Because I am vain and stuff. After my insurance, the shampoo costs $20, but you only use it for 4 weeks and you're CURED.<br /><br />As for a noticeable, yet non-committal change, I suggest you try the Ion Brilliance DEMI-permanent hair color at Sally Beauty Supply. It is a salon-quality glaze that deposits color, but gradually washes out within 4-6 weeks so you don't have to worry about roots. DO NOT use comparable products like Clairol! They have so much ammonia and peroxide in them that they permanently lightened my hair and made it brassy. <br /><br />The Sally's stuff is only $5-7 for the tube of color and the developer, and that's enough for 2-3 applications. Waaay cheaper than what I was paying in the salon for the same treatment, and my stylist is actually the one who told me about the Sally's stuff! <br /><br />If you're interested in trying that, let me know so I can tell you how all the colors "take." For example, Medium Natural Blonde is actually more of a light brown. <br /><br />Good luck!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957602758023004487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-76217508320873115532010-04-01T09:06:25.765-07:002010-04-01T09:06:25.765-07:00I've got that thick, course hair too, and I ty...I've got that thick, course hair too, and I typically shed like crazy. (prenatal vitamin have stopped the shedding and now my hair is twice as thick).<br /><br />I used to try to get all those "good" shampoos, but lately I"ve been getting Dove shampoo and conditioner and I'm loving it. I put a ton of conditioner on, tie it up and put a shower cap over it to kind of let my hair "steam" in the shower. Not sure if it's this, or the vitamin, but my hair has never ben softer.<br /><br />Often a good color helps my hair calm down too. It coats the strands and makes it much more manageable and less frizzy for me.<br /><br />Oh, I've also avoided the blow dryer for quite awhile. I shower at night, let my hair air dry (seriously, a VERY scary sight) and then just use the flat iron in the morning. I think that's helped too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453257493002278226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-67129350100602975592010-04-01T08:38:12.722-07:002010-04-01T08:38:12.722-07:00It sounds gross, but is the dryness on your scalp ...It sounds gross, but is the dryness on your scalp thick at all? If so,seborrheic dermatitis could be to blame, which can cause more hair to shed. I've had this. T-gel shampoo clears it up.<br /><br />ALso, hormonal changes can lead to hair loss. Now I'm going through THIS one. My body needs more estrogen and my hair should come back, but I can't do anything until I'm not pregnant anymore.<br /><br />Believe me, I'm the queen of hair loss problems lately. I use to have hair more like Een's, now you would NOT believe how thin it's gotten.

I would suggest trying a new color and maybe bangs?? A trim is always good but not a major cut.Iris Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775710609167195639noreply@blogger.com
