    The DANDRUFF Thread

    Are you referring to some special technique, or do you just mean I need to give my hair regular, thorough brushes from the roots? I suppose I brush it about twice a day, with touch ups as needed. I don't normally brush from the roots, though.

    The DANDRUFF Thread

    Dandruff, but don't need/want to wash my hair? Hello all, I have been washing my hair every five or 6 days, and normally notice it starts to get a bit itchy around the 3rd day, which hasn't really bothered me. Though, if I have scratched my head I have noticed (sorry if this is gross) what...

    Foam bendy rollers

    I have tried these. I suppose on the whole I wouldn't recommend them, at least not if you haven't tried other kinds of roller. There are pros and cpns. Pros: - smooth surface minimises tangling and (in theory) gives smoother curls. I think this happened when I used them. - shape of...

    'Snap-on' rollers? 'Magnetic' rollers? Please advise!

    Did my first set with the magnetic snap-on rollers last night and am *thrilled* with the results! My curls were the smoothest and bounciest they've ever been! Have yet to try it on freshly washed hair though. They are definitely a good roller if you want to minimise tangle as there's...

    Lottabody

    Thanks, on my bottle it says nothing about permed hair though. It says it's okay for coloured/bleached hair, so I'm assuming that it's safe on my perm, but my hairdresser seemed wary...

    Lottabody

    Is Lottabody safe to use on permed hair? Searched, but couldn't find anything. I would have thought so, but my hairdresser told me to check...

    Homemade Cosmetics

    That's okay, glad to have helped, and I don't think I've heard of those kinds of razor! I'm looking forward to trying the oil in the shower, then rinsed off. You just have to be a bit careful in the shower, though; the oil does make it more slippy. Regarding shaving, you don't get quite as much...

    Homemade Cosmetics

    Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply! With regards to when you should put it on, I had something I was going to post about: I read today that if you find the greasiness too much even on damp skin, you can rub on the oil in the shower, then rinse off and dry yourself as...

    Homemade Cosmetics

    I don't have problems with acne per se, my skin is just very oily and prone to the occasional breakout of spots- would you say almond oil is still my best bet? And surely whatever oil I use would be good for shaving just because of the nature of it? If Almond oil is quite lightweight then that...

    Should I get a perm? Advice please.

    Having washed and set it twice now, re-set once, slept flat on it, exposed it to windy weather and fussed with it plenty, I can safely say that getting a perm was a very good thing indeed. :D I could elaborate if anyone's really that interested, but based on my own initial experience, I'd...

    Homemade Cosmetics

    I have a question- based on my requirements, could anyone recommend a good, inexpensive all-purpose natural oil? I'd need it for: shaving a body moisturiser a facial moisturiser for my oily, spot-prone skin possibly an occasional hair treatment and lipbalm I liked using olive oil for these...

    Where to start?

    I second the suggestion of going to Boots/Superdrug and arming yourself with some cheap makeup, just so you can play around and not feel too out of pocket! Superdrug has the MUA range where everything is £1, they have a surprising range of products and colours. Also, take the time to browse...

    Please, if anyone finds these are available in the UK, post it here!

    'Snap-on' rollers? 'Magnetic' rollers? Please advise!

    Thanks for the input, everyone. I have now bought some magnetic snap-on rollers- hopefully they will be the answer! (Edited to say that despite my sudden hopeful excitement, plastic comb rollers can definitely not be comfortably slept on, despite giving great results :( ) Also, I was thinking...

    Homemade Cosmetics

    I am about to try using Olive Oil to shave- I try and use natural or mostly natural products as my budget allows, and shaving products seem to be the hardest to get hold of! Lush's Ambrosia works well but at £9 a pop it's not cheap, especially in summer when I'm shaving every few days! I have...

    'Snap-on' rollers? 'Magnetic' rollers? Please advise!

    Thanks all for the replies. So, regular snap on ones are the ones on the link I posted, this is a regular magnetic one: http://www.viewpointdirect.co.uk/sibel-long-plastic-hair-rollers---various-sizes-10mm---30mm-1496-p.asp, and these are magnetic and snap-on ones...

    Rollers to avoid (aka Rollers of Death)

    Thank you for the advice :) When I unrolled the velcro rollers from the side bits of my bangs this morning they were quite frizzy :( though I did put my hairnet over them which would have pushed them up, perhaps I should have let them hang. Maybe I'll do my whole fringe in the velcro ones next...

    Homemade Setting Lotion

    Might be slightly off-topic, and not quite homemade, but have you tried the commercial 'crystal' deodorants? 100% natural, completely odorless. They're not antiperspirants, but trust me, I have been using mine for over a year and I've never found myself sweating excessively, or smelling...

    'Snap-on' rollers? 'Magnetic' rollers? Please advise!

    Hello all, I've tried searching for a specific answer to my question and nothing came up, so I hope it's okay to start a new thread. I want to get some new, larger rollers. I don't really want another set of sponge rollers and perm rods don't seem to be available in the size I want (not on...

    Show us your hair do's....

    You have such a cute face ^_^ and you've inspired me to try that with my Bettie bangs next time! Whenever I do victory rolls with mine it always looks slightly off somehow, and looking at your great photo I'm sure a center parting in them would look much better! :)
