do any of you ladies know what volume developer Feria uses in their hair dyes? also, my hair is naturally dark brown and i want to dye it a lighter brown. does anyone know if i can achieve a light brown (not orange) look using store bought dye?? or will i have to go to a salon? i'd rather not spend the $70, if i can help it.

the only way to get get color that's not orangey is to use bleach.. it's not gonna come from regular hair dye..
if you're iffy about using bleach then go to a salon

My hair is dark brown, shoulder-length, full of body, and very heavy. I want that shiny, sleek, fine, light, and light-colored hair(which happens to be the total opposite to what i naturally have) I wish i didn't want that hair so bad, cause it ain't easy to achieve. Lets face it people, what god has given us is what we should be happy with. You look prettier when your acceptive with what you have anyway.

crystal-
my hair gets really static-y in the winter too. there are several things you can do. first you can take some Static Guard (the spray stuff you use for your clothes) and spray it on a brush. then brush it into your hair. Or you can use hair products to weigh down your hair. Try spraying your hair with light hairspray or gel. Hope this works.

I have static hair issues. What are the possible solutions to this?

I have nice, shiney straight hair, but at the ends, my hair is not so straight. It curls inward which can be nice, but both sides always curl in opposite directions! It drives me crazy. So, as a result, I always have to blowdry it so that it either goes straight down or curls inward on both sides. As a solution to my problem, is it possible to perm only half of my hair straight? I don't have super volumous hair. People ask me a lot already if I perm my hair straight (but that's because I always blowdry to so that it looks that way). My hair is already flat in a good way, so I'm wondering if it's possible to perm only the lower half straight. Is it possible? Will it make my hair super flat?
any hairstylist? help! Thursday, October 10, 2002 at 20:21:01 (PDT) [65.184.91.9]

I love styling and coloring my hair but sometimes it gets tiring because i cant find any different hair styles!

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good hair salon/sylist in New York City. I'll be visiting my friend up there for a while and have been wanting to get a body wave. I haven't been able to find a good stylist where I live (small town), they pretty much all suck, anyway, if anyone knows of one, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks

Asian hair is so tricky to work with, I really think that just leaving it natural, with a great cut and maybe using special accessories is great: barrettes, etc. Nothing better than hair that isn't stiff and artificial looking, right?

I recommend Molding Mud as a product for males/females and all hair types. It gives shape to your style, holds flyaways, and doesn't get crunchy like hairspray or gel. works wonders for me and everyone else i know who's tried it. just don't use it near the roots, only near the ends, to avoid looking greasy/oily.

Anyone know of a good salon that can do magic perm in Los Angeles? (at a decent price too) anywhere in Ktown would be cool.

I am mixed and I have thick curly hair. I tried to straighten my hair and left the relaxer in my hair longer than I should have. A lot of my hair fell out and the few strands that didnt is a mix of curly and straight. Now that my hairs going back it is sticking out in little curls. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Pantene Pro-V works wonders.

Mikala: I kinda have the same problem... my hair lies sort of flat (and looks really shiny) and even though there's a lot of it, and it's baby fine. So, what I've discovered is texturizing products, like texturizing waxes and lotions. Also, try not blow drying your hair. If your hair lies flat, it will look shinier. If you leave it natural, it will look more "bedhead" like. Then, after you've air dried overnight, try using the texurizers.
Also, try getting highlights or dyeing your hair. Not only will you have a pretty color, it roughs up the cuticle of your hair a bit so you'll have less shiny and therefore more texture! I dye my hair and I'm pleased with the results! Hope this helps!
love, fellow shiny head

I'm just checking this site out to see some new hair styles
I can try for picture day.

L'Oreal Feria is OK. Your hair will turn orangey no matter what brand you use. The best thing to do is to go to a salon. Personally, a little orange when the color is fading out doesn't bother me!! I like L'Oreal preferences. Herbal Essences works great, but can be a little harsh so use with caution.

Hair's a fuss,

try e-bay, or a local pawn shop or flea market
Bad Hair day Thursday, August 29, 2002 at 06:27:42 (PDT)

I have hair thats too wavy to be called straight and too straight to be called wavy. When my hair grows over shoulder length, one side of the hair decides to curl at the bottom and the other side deicdes to stay straight so I look like two faced from batman.
Well I got what's called an ion perm( I think this is the magic straight) in China this summer and it turned out really shiny and straight but I still have to blowdry my hair in order for it to keep straight.
Now that I'm back in the states I probably can't afford to get another one of these perms so I'm looking for a straightening iron that can be found under 20 bucks and works. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, has anyone tried Loreal Feria? Does it actually work on black hair without turning orange? Cause I'm thinking of getting my dyed in the Bronze Shimmer and I'm wondering if it works well.

I am looking for a good hair salon for asians in the cherry hill, NJ area or the trenton, NJ area. Does anyone know of one?

Al,

Paul Mitchel shampoo and conditioner with eucaliptus does wonders (that's why I used to shower at my ex-gf's place instead of mine), but if you're flat broke like me, just try Pantene Pro V for normal hair, it'll take a couple of days before you get that luscious feel in your hair.

Mikala

I'm assuming you aren't just posting it for bragging right.
What you can do to take out the shine is make your hair more rough so less light reflects. One way you can do it is with babypowder or something coarse and powdery in your hair.
If I were you, I would just keep the shine.
A Friday, August 23, 2002 at 05:04:25 (PDT)

how can I stop getting flat hair???????
Bad Hair Day Thursday, August 22, 2002 at 22:08:15 (PDT)

Mikala, forgive me but you are CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!! Do you have any idea how hard the rest of us work trying to get shine in our hair?????

Al, have you tried the basic condditioners? They seem to make my hair really soft. Too soft, actually, but maybe they'd be perfect for yours.

( sadly from my dads side) and I was thinking about getting blong highlights but I have no idea if should do it or not. And If do consider doing it. Should i go to a salon or use feria? Oh yea I have a round face too.
Teddy faeriegirlxt@aol.com Sunday, August 18, 2002 at 21:07:12 (PDT)

I had black hair with no highlights. I dyed it dark brown a couple years ago. Now my hair seems black but in the sun it is red. It is very shiny, and people envy my hair because of that. I hate how shiny my hair is! All I use is shampoo to try and dry it out because I think it looks oily. Does anyone know something that can take away the shine in my hair?
