#HR001 Eyebrows
You may want to have your thyroid checked. That is often
the reason for loss of eyebrows. - Jean, Okemos
>> Answer
#HR001 Eyebrows
You're probably out of luck if they haven't grown back by
now. You may have to resort to "permanent cosmetics" - tattooing. Just make sure
you find a technician who is qualified, and can tattoo the tiny hairs in the proper color,
and not thick lines in black. Ask to see photos of their work. Ask for references.

They probably won't grow back. But, I hear, so people use an

>> Answer
#HR001 Eyebrows
I suggest heading over to a MAC cosmetics store. They have
these really great angled brushes which mimic eye brow shape. The people who work there
are also VERY prone to filling in anyone's eyebrows-- you might end up looking like a drag
queen!! So head over there, ask them to fill in your eyebrows LIGHTLY and it will look
natural & good. I hate when people use a liner or even liquid liner-- the line ends up
looking trashy and fake. - Erica

I once over-plucked my eyebrows too. My mum told me to put
some castor oil on a cotton stick and just swipe it on your eyebrows in an opposite
direction of the hair's growth. I did that for two weeks and my eyebrows are so thick now
:) Hope this helps. - Tanya, Amman

<< Question
#HR002 Hair Color
I would like to know how to achieve blond from brown hair
without problems - Kim
>> Answer
#HR002 Hair Color
Pretty simple, actually. Have it done by a professional.
Don't go entirely blond all in one sitting. Have it highlighted instead, where they pull
the hair through a cap & bleach it in strands. Your professional will also add
"toner" to eliminate those "orange" tones that
"do-it-yourselfers" end up with. This leaves a very natural look, and you don't
get "over-bleached." As time goes by, and it grows out, you will need to have it
redone. Since it's impossible to pull the same strands through the cap, over time, your
hair will gradually get blonder. This gradual lightening is much easier on the hair.
Bleached hair should be conditioned regularly, less exposure to hair dryers, hot sun, and
especially to chlorine pools that can turn it to "straw", and sometimes, even a
little "green." - JP San Diego

If your hair is oily it actually should help,
but to protect your hair, just wear a terry cloth turban. - JP
>>
Answer #HR003 Hair - Steam
There is really no damage from steam other
than FRIZZ! You could use a flatiron spray or serum to control that. It will also act as a
barrier between your hair and the steam, therefore protecting it. - Lynn, Ottawa

Question #HR004 Hair Color
I dyed my hair with permanent black hair color,
I've decided to let the grey grow out which is totally "salt & pepper 4 inches,
my hair is long so the rest is black how can I strip the black out? - Las Vegas
>>
Answer #HR004 Hair Color
When hair dye is applied, it opens the hair
shaft in order to deposit the color. In effect, it bleaches the hair while it deposits the
new color. Stripping the color would leave you with orangy "bleached" hair. You
would have to professionally have the color stripped, and a color closer to your natural
color added. This would be fine if your natural hair was light brown. Since you are
"black & white", the best thing to do in your case is to continue to touch
up ONLY the roots using a NON PERMANENT hair color until it all grows out. If you avoid
dyeing over the dyed portion, the gray will eventually start to show through, as gray hair
doesn't take dye as well, and may give up some of the old dye after many washings...if you
don't dye over it. - Ed
>>
Answer #HR004 Hair Color
Your hair is grey so it will be easier to take
the black out. I've seen this case many times before. The easiest and least expensive
route is to wash your hair in laundry soap (yes, laundry soap) before shampooing each
day.You need to be careful with this because if you use too much at one time, or let it
set for too long, it can damage your hair. Also use V05 Hot Oil Treatments like no other.
These SHOULD help the fading process even more. If after a few weeks you haven't seen
improvement, consult your hair stylist; she/he will help you from there!! - Good
Luck, Brit (Hair Stylist)

Question #HR005 - Early Hair Loss
hi i am 19 years old and i am starting to
experience hair loss and i was wondering if there is something i can do about it like
change my diet (what kinds of food should i eat), or if there are some kind of products
out there that you could recommend. Thank you. DZ
>>
Answer #HR005 - Early Hair Loss
The first thing you need to do is consult a
dermatologist to make sure your alopecia (hair loss) is from early onset male pattern
baldness. There are many scalp conditions and medical conditions that can also cause hair
loss. It is important you rule these out first.
Diet will only help if hair loss is from malnutrition. Protein deficiency and some vitamin
deficiencies do affect the hair growth and quality, but most likely have nothing to do
with your problem.
Products that may help if you are suffering from hereditary male pattern baldness are: Rogaine,
and check out "More Hair" from http://www.universitymedical.com,
a product that claims to help block DHT (a form of testosterone) in the hair
follicles. Most of their products are available in retail stores. The list of stores is on
their site.

>>
Answer #HR009 - Brassy bleach job
Your hair can be dyed back to it's natural
color. Best done by a good professional. Get a recommendation from somebody. The reddish
orange tones can be gotten rid of by using a "toner." It adds "green"
to the hair to override the red, giving it a more "ash" tone. - Ed

Question #HR010 - Shiny hair
How do some women get really shiny hair? -
Dsalas, Athens
>>
Answer #HR010 - Shiny hair
It starts with health - a good diet, and not
over-abusing your hair with chemicals and harsh shampoos. Make sure you get enough protein
and sulphur-containing foods like eggs. Give your hair a good brushing daily; lean over
and brush from the back of your neck toward the floor to increase scalp circulation. After
shampooing, rinse with white vinegar & water (1 tbsp to 1 quart water) to remove
chemical, hard water, and shampoo residues. Use a mayonnaise or jojoba oil treatment if
you have dry hair and/or split ends. Never brush wet hair and don't "rub" it dry
with a towel. Don't use a hair dryer unless absolutely necessary. - Ed
>>
Answer #HR010 - Shiny hair
After you wash the rest of your body, shampoo
and condition your hair like you would normally do, and rinse it out with warm water
first. Then, finish rinsing it out with cold water. This will lock in the
moisture in your hair follicles, making it naturally shiny. - Ariane, Surrey BC

Question #HR011
Chlorine - Bleached Hair - Colored Hair - Green Hair
I just got my hair highlighted yesterday medium
blonde over my brown hair and I have a pool party to go to in 3 days. The person
that did my hair said that the chlorine would turn my hair green. However, my aunt,
who dies her hair blonde very often, says that it's only the algaeside, which isn't put in
the pool often. Which is it? Is there any limit to how long I can stay in the
pool before washing it with clarifying shampoo? - Stephanie
>>
Answer #HR011
Chlorine - Bleached Hair - Colored Hair - Green Hair
It isn't the algaecide, it is the action of
chlorine combined with a too-high mineral content in the water, the worst offender being
copper.

information.

Answer #HR011
Chlorine - Bleached Hair - Colored Hair - Green Hair
OK, I have naturally beach blonde hair and when
I go in the pool it never turns green. When you have blonde hair and if you don't wash it
for like 2 days, it might turn green but not bright green. But if it does turn green it
goes right away. - Becky, NJ

I get greasy hair after less than i day, so you
know anything that can stop it? And yes i have tried specially made shampoo's but its not
helping! Please reply as soon as possible. - Kate
>>
Answer #HR016 - Hair - Greasy Hair
Buy Neutrogena Mineral Sheers powder foundation
that's in the handle of a brush. Buy "Tan" for dark hair;
"Neutral" for light hair. Brush your hair straight back and put a headband over
your head, around your neck. Dip the brush tip in some deodorant powder, like
"Shower to Shower". Lay down and hold a mirror above your head, and tap
the brush lightly around your hairline and then work back. The colored powder
should cover over the white powder. Do it laying down so you don't breathe in the
powder, and take a deep breath before you start. Then slide the headband up to cover
the hairline to hold the powder there to soak up the oils. Hair looks thick and
fluffy, and you don't have to wash your hair as often. - Sarah, NY

If you would like to get blonde and red

it turned out nice. I thought id look like a punk rock my self but the colors blend well
with the sun. I say go fot it! - Charlottesville
>>
Answer #HR017 - Hair - Highlights in Dark Hair
With dark brown hair, you can't expect to get
highlights that are bright. However, getting darker hues of red and blonde can work. For
example, instead of a regular bright blonde, try a more rich honey or amber shade that can
still be recognized as a blonde. For red, use a darker shade such as carnelian or
burgundy. - Bella, Milwaukee

Question #HR018 - Hair - Perms - Hormones
I've been getting perms for several decades and
the last year or so I've had some not take. Could it be hormonal (postmenopausal for
a couple yrs.) or is the salon's perms? I'm sick of paying the awful prices for
these products and services and not getting what I want.- elaina
>>
Answer #HR018 - Hair - Perms - Hormones
It's well-known that perms in pregnant women
won't "take." So, it's possible your problem is hormonal. During peri-menopause
and menopause, the hair shaft starts to change considerably. You might try one last time,
a different salon, different brand perm. - Ed

Question #HR019 - Curly Hair - Curl Activator
I have naturally curly hair. I am looking for a
spray on curl activator with conditioners. I have tried most but they make my hair
hard & crispy. I want soft curls you can touch. Thank you - Brenda, Wichita
>>
Answer #HR019 - Curly Hair - Curl Activator
I had the same problem and I found that if I
used a mousse, like Finesse curl-enhancing and scrunched my hair really well, then
blow-dried my hair upside down on low heat, my curls would not be hard. Also, the new
texturizers that promise "beach hair" and the same scrunching and blow-drying
work really well. If you don't want to buy a texturizer, just put 3 tablespoons of salt in
a water bottle, fill the rest up with water, shake, and spray on your hair (about 7 inches
away si it won't get sticky), scrunch and blow dry low -heat. make sure to deep condition
often and use a strengthening shampoo like Garnier Fructis, healthy curls are pretty
curls. - Emily
