Thanks for the hair input and acknowledgment of Master 11. It is an insane time for us. School finishes for the year tomorrow and Master 11 is off school until February. I finish up work in 8 days for Christmas and will having all of January off (yippee) and DH is frantic with all the things he has to get done for work (church) for the Christmas season - he is responsible for our Carols services etc.
Shevia, I have tried just using conditioner but my head felt kind of weird. I might give it another go though.
Sarah you have shared the vinegar wash with me before and I haven't tried it. Will do so.
Crutcher & Suz, thanks. One of the issue is I have some breakage from my foray into platinum blonde and that it definitely impacting my styling.
Thanks Gryffin, will take a look at the products you mention. All are available here. Sounds like your hair is similar to mine. Fine, lots of it, has wave and frizzes in humidity and I like it sleek and smooth.... not too much to ask is it?
Angie, thanks for the recommendations. I am pretty hard on my assessment of my hair. I feel it's one of my key signature style elements so I live in a world where it has to be 'perfect' lol. My flirtation with all over platinum is over, it was fun but I wont be doing it again. I am also loving the darker tones but it is in dire need of a colour... bring on Friday.
Neel, thank you.
Lisa, I suspect the colour freshen up on Friday will make a difference. My stylist did use a different colour product last time and I am wondering if my hair doesn't like it. I haven't felt the colour has helped up as well as normal. I will talk to her about this on Friday.
Lyn, did you make the olive mask? You are game. We don't usually experience humidity this time of year. We get it in February and spend most of the month looking quite frazzled.. and frizzled lol
