both of you work out like fiends. so let me get this straight no shampoo? ever?

It is rare (if ever) that I work out like a fiend, but I admit that if I take multiple showers in a day (due to working out, playing sports or even just laying by the pool or going to the beach), I never rewash my hair. Only rinse it and dry it. This is part of the reason I'm hoping maybe bnb's plan will work for me too. Though my oily scalp and baby fine hair problems make me a bit concerned.

No shampoo. Ever. Just like the cave men. For some reason the sweat just rinses out. (sweat actually cleans my hair!)

Well, not entirely true about the no shampoo. My hair is so short that I get it cut every six weeks. It gets washed at the salon.

Even cave men used shampoo. They used dinosaur urine diluted with woolly mammoth milk. It was acidic enough to cleanse the hair, but diluted enough to do so without damaging it. You are like a pre-caveman when it comes to your hygiene habits.

My previous hairdresser recommended this regime and I tried it for about 6 months. Not only did my hair smell dirty (at least to me) but it actually got drier. It was oily on my scalp and drier on the ends.

Then I changed hairdressers. Now I use a shampoo for dry hair and a heavy duty conditioner. I use Kerastase products, which is a L'Oreal line. I only get my hair cut about twice a year but when I do, I also get a "gloss." It's some kind of salon-only deep conditioner. There is an option to get a tint, if one is so inclined.

I think the factor not being considered in this conversation is water. My place seems to have extremely hard water which is in turn hard on my hair.

PPNYC, another thing to try is using Neutrogena for 2 weeks and then go back to the tired products. Or use the Neutrogena once a week on a regular basis.

For those who will moan about a long, boring post about hair products, I give you U2's new Penis Building:

1. U are 2nd person to recomment Kerastase.

2. I never thought of neutrogena. good idea.

you say that like its an insult. pre cave people were exposed to the rain so everything took care of itself.

Dinosaur urine diluted with woolly mammoth milk is my conditioner. Silly. Goose.

I got thrown out of the Union League Club today for wearing jeans. Not faded, frayed, wrinkled, cut the lawn or paint the house jeans. Brand new jeans. Clean, pressed, fitting jeans. With a Prince of Wales plaid shirt and a black cashmere blazer.

What the fuck? I was surrounded by a bunch of drones wearing their Dockers or their widewale cords, many of them looking as though they had slept in their trousers. Most of these men were not wearing jackets, or tailored shirts.

But I got thrown out for wearing jeans. Tight-assed club assholes.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you'll find another job soon.

I use shampoo in my weekly hair-washing toilette. GWNC does not, because she has much shorter hair. I don't think I could do the rinse-only thing, though I confess I've never tried it. However, I don't use conditioner, and she does (isn't that right gwnc?). So between us, we have one full-range-of-hair-care- product-using sort of person.

Wow. two for one haircare special, indeed.

This thing is a complete piece of crap.* I have been having a problem where when I start a recorded program playing somewhere in the first minute or so it freezes up and won't play forward or fast forward and the only solution I have found is to rewind it to the beginning and fast forward past the place where it froze up. Odd, right? So yesterday I went to watch the new episode of The Office (in HD) and when I hit play, just a black screen shows up and I can't rewind it or fast forward it. It does nothing even though it indicates that something 30 minutes long was recorded (and it was on the correct NBCW channel, not NBCE). Motherfucker. Why is this thing so incredibly shitty and what the fuck made Directv think that cutting off Tivo and making people buy this thing would keep them in business? I am so angry. Like being generally not user friendly and having a season pass feature that randomly decides not to record new episodes of shows for no discernable reason were not bad enough.

So, if someone would like to shoot me a PM and let me know if I should pay for this week's Office download or just wait until it hits reruns to watch, I would greatly appreciate it. And if someone would like to buy a barely used HD Directv DVR, just make me an offer. Before I just chuck the thing out my living room window.

*(I almost left the "complete piece of carp" typo there. It made me happy. But good old typo-stickler Hank ruined my fun for me. What! A! Meanie!)

Jesus H, woman. You need a baby to ween you off of TV.

At my last hair appointment, my stylist told me that she had installed a water filter in her shower and that it had made her hair look much better. Although it reminds me of Jonathan from Blow Out, and therefore seems like BS, I am somewhat intrigued. Has anyone tried this? How would this work? (In lieu of shower head attachement, or behind it?)

Is that like the University club or Yale or hahvahd? I'm assuming yes.

I am sure you looked very nice. I like prince of wales and I adore cashmere.

tight asses, indeed.

No but I have heard of this as well. Hard water makes everything work less, less lather, less to adhere. it would make sense that the filter works.
