I discovered it by accident--I was just trying to use up odds and ends in the bathroom and found a sample bottle I had forgotten about. Even after one use I could feel a difference in my hair. I am now saving the last drops for special occasions. Unfortunately Aveda products are even more pricey in Europe than in the US </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204395 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 05:33:36 +0000 Steph 204395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I know I have said this before, but I think you're being too critical of your hair. I really liked it when I saw it. I know you said you were having a good hair day, but I still think you have nice hair. </p> <p>I might have already recommended this, but for the crunchy/dryness, I would use Aveda's Remedy conditioner. That's what I used while washing my hair with dishwashing liquid. and I thought it worked well. </p> <p>As for hairstyles, I don't have great suggestions. I can understand what you mean about bangs. I feel like they can be difficult to work with, particularly with a cowlick, so if you really don't feel like they work, don't feel bad about giving up on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204364 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:52:31 +0000 sinead 204364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I just wanted to wish you luck with your appointment- really hope it goes well and you get advice that will give you good hair days.</p> <p>I'm wearing my fine, wavy hair in layers and I don't comb or brush after shampooing- just sort of arrange it, scrunch for around 5 minutes and- hardest part- try not to mess with it until it's dry. If I comb it, play with it too much... it's a flat mess. It took me years to find the system that worked for my hair- I'm sure you'll get to the hair you want faster than that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204340 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:51:39 +0000 Maya 204340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mae, I have been blowdrying my hair for probably 15 years now. I have always assumed it would be part of the process and I have always been fine with that. But my hair has changed and I no longer want to do it. It has nothing to do with time or ease. I just don't like the results.</p> <p>I think i need to just rethink my whole routine now. My hair might never look great regardless of any effort I do or don't put in because I just don't have nice hair. If that's the case maybe I just need to learn new ways of putting it up or back and focusing on something else like makeup.</p> <p>I shampoo my scalp with a small amount of every other day and condition every day, ftr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204337 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:42:22 +0000 Mae 204337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My two cents...<br /> ...Ask the stylist for a good product to use for the dryness. Maybe he/she can give you a treatment right there if it's still healthy enough to be saved.<br /> ...How long does it take to blow dry and use the flat iron a bit? I know I always used to say that I wanted a "wash and go" haircut because I didn't have the time. Once it's part of the routine, though, it really doesn't take that long. Maybe 5-7 minutes to dry and style with the right product. Of course, my hair is really short now, so that makes it easier.<br /> ...Have you tried going shampoo-less? I know this works for some- literally no shampoo. Just rinse hair plus condition every day. I think I've heard Nick suggest this on WNTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204328 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:08:19 +0000 Traci 204328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a glazing treatment? You can even do home glazes now. </p> <p><a href="http://www.clairol.com/naturalinstincts/ShineHappy/SHhome.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.clairol.com/natural.....SHhome.jsp</a></p> <p>I've used this one when my hair was in a funk. It really improved the texture, gave it body and made it smooth. I remember saying at the time that it made me feel like i had "real hair." The hair like I see so effortless on everyone else. It's $6. Worth a try.</p> <p>I find those wavy textured haircuts are really tough to style. It looks so casual and effortless, but it's actually very complicated to get every hair casually laying just so in the right place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204310 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:33:44 +0000 Scarlet 204310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is one of the better collection of haircuts I have seen--realistic but stylish. Hopefully you get a good stylist who can help you.</p> <p>I have read that coconut oil only really works in warm climates (like India) because at lower temperatures it is too solid to penetrate the hair shaft. Or something along those lines. I don't know if it is true and I have no personal experience.</p> <p>With my hair I have found it a lot easier to embrace the wave, and for me getting my hair cut in layers really seems to be the way to go. I just got a trim today and I am really pleased with it, but she did blow dry my hair with a round brush, which really makes curls. I don't think I could fully reproduce the effect myself, but she is a very good hairdresser though, so I know it will also look okay even if I just let it air-dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204309 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:27:47 +0000 Maya 204309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know Angie, but that requires blowdrying and sometimes a bit of flat ironing at the ends. It takes a lot of effort for me to make my hair look decent...let alone great :\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204308 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:26:29 +0000 Angie 204308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the record literal Minnie, I don't mean DEAD straight when I say "straight". I mean straight-er - like when I saw you in Feb </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204305 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:09:24 +0000 Maya 204305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looked wet because it was still wet Scarlet In all the pictures. It's crunchy without product. Totally bare. My brother felt it while it had nothing in it and was just washed and conditioned with both coconut oil and a second conditioner. Still dry.</p> <p>There are pictures on the Arrojo website of "natural texture" cuts so I'm hoping they can do something for me. <a href="http://www.arrojostudio.com/studio/media/fw0405.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.arrojostudio.com/st.....fw0405.htm</a></p> <p>I guess this is one time where I won't know what happens until I get there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204300 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:45:33 +0000 Scarlet 204300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to be dumb, but is it not crunchy because of product? When you posted a photo awhile ago with the waves it seemed to have the "wet look" one would get from using a fair amount of product? Definitely ask the hair dresser if they really think your hair is damaged before you chop it off.</p> <p>Edit: I don't mean the photo where you said it was actually wet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204299 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:41:48 +0000 Maya 204299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is not going to be easy to manage now no matter what. It is so dry it crunches when I squeeze it. It is normally better in winter but right now I think it will actually be worse because it will be even more dry. My brother asked me "what happened" to it when he came home this weekend. It's bad.</p> <p>I don't like it straight (either the process of making it straight or the look), and I can't make it work curly or wavy. It's just a mess. I guess I just have to ask. The reason I considered cutting it short is to get as much of the crunchy ends off as possible, not necessarily because I like it more. I think it's just going to get worse if I try to force it to grow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204293 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:26:22 +0000 Angie 204293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked you with long hair too, Maya. But I *think* I like you best with shorter choppy straight hair. It works best for your style. I also think that your hair is easier to manage in cooler weather. Is that right?</p> <p>Now don't take what I say too literally, little literal Minnie. I ALSO like you with curls. </p> <p>I hope you're having a fab hair appointment - either curly or straight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204278 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:05:57 +0000 Scarlet 204278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Maya, I don't have any suggestions. Somehow I have trouble imagining your face with such a short bob, like the one for Audrey Tautou. What I was thinking is that if you let your hair grow a little longer the waves would come a little more under control, and besides that, in the mean time maybe a good hair dresser can give you a trim that would bring your hair back into a state you are happy with. From the pictures I have seen your hair looks perfectly healthy. The summer humidity is probably just driving you/your hair nuts. I really liked the picture where your hair was long. Not saying you can't wear any other style. I just thought that looked good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204251 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:00:14 +0000 annagybe 204251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is fine and wavy probably similar to yours. I used to blow dry it straight and flat iron almost everyday. I recently cut it shorter and trying to embrace the waviness. I get a good hair day about every 5th day. I still blow dry it but I try to scrunch up the waves with my fingers as a dry. I understand your frustration. I'm tempted to grow it out again and go back to flat ironing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204248 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:55:16 +0000 Maya 204248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not definitely getting this. I was actually hoping there might be other suggestions, like Medusa's thread. But I realize I have fussy hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204202 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:50:55 +0000 biscuitsmom 204202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im so excited for you!

Pick the stylists brain as much as you can!!:) I love the photo and I suggest you bring it to discuss with the stylist what would/wouldn't work and what you like/dislike they will guide you through this process according to your hair type....this is going to be FAB!!!</p> <p>Also, listen to any suggestions they may have for you, then edit as needed , you will likely be in the capable hands of a very seasoned pro:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-not-another-hair-post#post-204099 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:27:42 +0000 Beth 204099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have absolutely no advice to give you, just support:) I'll be interested to hear what the salon has to say on Friday.</p> <p>My hair is my achilles heel.
