Kitt, instead of a frizz cream, how about a serum. These are oil based and are a lot lighter than creams. There are quite a few smoothing serums out on the market right now. Check with your stylist or beauty supply shop to seee what they recommend.

What about those hot oil treatments that people do or have done on their hair? What do they do? Would they help at all?

I have SUPER fine hair as anyone who has met me can attest ... and the John Frieda anti-frizz is great as long as you only use a TINY amount. That's the key.

I think I need to do some exploring to see what's on offer, I'd never heard of serum! Coincidentally a sample of a Dove anti-frizz cream arrived in the mail today, so I will give that a try too and report back. Thanks to you all for helping :-).

mocha, that is so funny you said that about the camera. last night when dh and i were talking about photos he said...."you should just throw that thing away". i said "NO!, i'm going to ask Juju if she wants it" lol. he thought it was a great idea.

i'll be posting in juju's folder in a few days about it. (juju, if you read this...it's a Toshiba PDR-M11 with 2 manuals and "stuff" that goes with it. i'll pay for all postage. eta: i was playing with it today and took a few photos. i also found 2 photos already on it. one dh took of me when we first tried it out and another one..must have been from our friend who gave it to dh. it took me forever to figure out how to delete it by i did it. had to change the format before i could delete the images.)

Hahahahaha, Abby7. I just looked up the camera. It is a bit of a dinosaur but a nice camera in its day.

And maybe you should keep it. It should still be perfectly fine for things like snapping quick pictures to post at TVCH. You don't exactly need a professional get-up for that.

Ironically, it uses the same camera card as my current camera, the Smart Media card, which is now obsolete.

BUT, you can still transfer pictures from the camera to your computer very easily. I can think of no reason why you shouldn't be able to except maybe you have lost the connector cable. But that is easily remedied. Get a card reader. You can still get them for Smart Media cards. Go check ebay. There should be tons. Yep, just checked. You could get a multiple reader with the format of your new and future cameras.

Then all you do is stick the card reader into a USB port and stick your camera card (with the pictures you have taken on it) into the card reader. Piece of cake.

Oh, and I think Mocha meant you should send me the camera so I can extract the photo and get it posted for you.

So, now you have a usable camera. Get that photo taken and posted. :-)

Jagger, I think it was yesterday when I saw the word "stripping" with New Messages and I clicked onto the post just to make sure we were still talkin' about hair.
I love the way you think!!

Hey Abby.....send your Smart Media card to Juju, not your camera...but take the picture first...lol!

Shadoe, thanks for the info about stripping. I know I'll leave that to the pros. I knew he would like your hair when he saw it and he did.

Rupert, I went to your profile and looked at your hair. I really like that cut. Does it take much work in the mornings? I really like wash-n-go hair but I never seem to manage that one desire of mine. My hair is very straight, thick and fine so unless I spend alot of time curling it it stays straight. I look like heck in layers unless I spend alot of time on them.

cnd...hope you didn't think i was talking about the website. (i hadn't even checked it when i posted). i was thinking about Hermi's posts when she puts various tvch members in funny outfits, etc.

(just want to be sure you knew it wasn't the site i was laughing at).

Hey I like that hair! Mine is close to that cut except for the hair below the ears - he has that all gone now.
Just toss in a half dozen colors and that's my hair.

i now looks like a black calico cat. i had nice hershey kiss brown hair. all i asked was to match my natural color and add highlights. the idiot at the salon died it black and put copper colored spot and blotches all over it.

the manager has apologized profusely and promises that something will be done to fix this mess. but, right now i'm is in tears and am not sure i can go to work tomorrow.

the haircut itself is O.K. not exactly what i wanted but O.K. the color is just unexcuseable.

teach me to go to a local salon instead of my regular lady in my hometown, won't it?

Juju, RAO!!!

Cnd.. maybe you need yellow contacts to go with it? Do you trust the salon owner to fix your hair?

Last time I was at my hairdresser's we were reminiscing about the time, years and years and several salons ago, when she was still highlighting with caps and either the cap leaked or I moved it while the bleach was working.. but after all that time as she was pulling off the cap she got this sinking feeling, but washed it and she knew.. I had leopard spots. She has a friend hanging out with us and turned to her and said, "go get a six pack; we are going to be here for awhile" and then proceeded to fix it. One of the other stylists where she is now was the owner of that salon and he remembered it too, actually he saw it when I came in for my next haircut/color job and he was really impressed, but he says Peggy was always his best colorist.

My theory is that of course you want someone who is very good with color to work on your hair but the real proof is how they handle a big problem and she passed with flying colors.

LOL.. she also started using foils on me after that :-)

Hi Biloxi...actually the hairstyle is fairly easy for upkeep...the key is using a good gel...I like John Frieda too and Got2b (Canadian, I think), also.

Then it's about five minutes with a large barrel curling iron...and sometimes the style will hold for a few days, with quick touch ups. I don't wash my hair daily, due to the light shade of blonde...my hair would feel like straw.

i have never had highlights before. she did use foil not a cap. and, my hair feel like straw even after i came home, shampooed and conditioned it.
