Post your Hair Care Regimen

[Lyric]

Just curious :)

I alternate shampoo/conditioners--I use my expensive Biolage stuff three times a week, and my inexpensive Pert Plus the rest of the time. After-shampoo, I use a tiny bit of Biolage curl-defining cream, and then let my hair dry slowly and naturally over the course of a couple of hours, in order to keep my natural curls from frizzifying. If I need more hold, I occasionally use Garnier Nutrisse Volumizing Mousse, 'cause it makes my curls nice and bouncy. :)

How about you?

1. Okay...

1) Turn on shower.

2) Stand under water for a few seconds.

3) Grab bottle that I hope is shampoo.

4) Rub shampoo into hair.

5) Rinse.

6) Dry.

7) Gel.

Note: I have very short hair. Kind of a buzz cut, maybe a half inch long.

2. I'm pretty low maintenance

I also alternate shampoo/conditioners, although I'll use the entire bottle and then change to another brand. If I don't, my hair gets really limp, even if it's Biolage or some other expensive brand.

I usually shower at night and let my hair dry naturally, and then in the morning, I spray it with Paul Mitchell Heat Seal and attack it with a straight iron. I finish it off with a little TreSemme hairspray to hold everything in place and some Christophe smooth & shine spray to keep it from looking dull.

My hair's longish and naturally wavy, but I wear it straight.

12. wash every day with whatever's handy run my fingers through it and get it

3. Here's mine:

I use a cheaper clear shampoo like suave or dove, whichever is cheaper when I shop. Then I use Pantene conditioner, leave in for 2 minutes. Then I get out and put in a leave in conditioner. This time around I'm using a Paul Mitchell something or other, and then comb it out. Then gel for styling and blow drying.

4. ok

every other day i wash and condition mah hair with Pureology hydrate system. it is labeled 100% vegan, hopefully that's not bullshit. It's expensive but worth it, my hair gets really dry because it's tripled processed but that shampoo and conditioner is worth the price and a little goes a long way.

5. i use ganier fructis shampoo and conditioner

and then let it dry on its own...i'm pretty simple

6. here's what I do

(I love this image and you gave me the perfect opportunity to post it!)

7. Shampoo, blow dry, hair spray.

That's all the time I'm willing to spend on hair. And not much money on the shampoo/hair spray either.

8. I use ganier nutrisse or Dove shampoo, and use Suave clarifiying

shampoo at least once a week, then Ganier nutrisse conditioner. If I'm in a hurry or want to look "done" I blowdry my hair using some cheap mousse for lift. I may or may not use a curling iron to make it curly instead of frizzy. I can do the whole thing - from getting in the shower to walking out the door, in half an hour & that includes mascara. :D

9. Biolage shampoo and conditioner. Dry under ceiling fan set on HI. n/t

[havocmom]

10. Same shampoo for eons. Detangler (baby fine hair & lots of it)

rinse with a bit of vinegar in the last water. Comb. Let dry. Hot rollers before work.

I still have fabulous hair. Too bad everything south of it has gone to shit.

11. I wash it the night before...

in the morning, I get it damp and work in a glob of the stiffest gel I can find that's about the size of a quarter. Then I run my fingers through it until it's "purposely messy," then blow dry it to make it stay in place.

I have used Tresemme shampoo for about 16 years, but I ran out so I got something else...don't remember what, sorry, but it was buy one, get one free.

This works until my hair grows out past about 1-3/4" and then it looks like shit, so when "looks like shit" happens I go to the salon.

13. wash, rinse

that's it

[cloudbase]

15. What, no repeat?

I tell ya, some folks just can't follow instructions.

[Skittles]

16. it makes my hair "flyaway"

it makes it so if I comb my hair in the car I can hear the static on the radio :o

[crispini]

14. I have decided to wean myself off shampoo entirely.

Based on several natural-self-care product blogs I frequent, it can be done. I am down to a "shampoo" every 3-4 days with baking soda, followed by a chamomile-apple cider vinegar rinse that I make myself. Eventually I hope to get off the baking soda entirely. So far, so good.

I am tired of spending money for expensive hair care product. If I can figure out how to get rid of that, I surely will!

17. I use L'Oreal Color Vive shampoo and conditioner

It's for color-treated hair, and I get the one specifically for dry hair because my hair is very dry. Then I use Matrix Vavoom forming gel, bur it through my hair and let it dry naturally. My hair is naturally wavy and I finally gave up on spending way too much time trying to blow dry it straight, which never quite worked well anyway. (I'm not good with working with hair.) I just put in the gel and let it dry naturally and wear it curly.
