She’s a doll.

Oh, yeah, I’m a doll, all right.

I tried to join this thread before, but even typing a few words about my hair made me weepy, and then I had to go and lie down quietly for a while.

But it’s been raining for eleventy-seven days here in Boston, and it’s wrought havoc with my hair. If the frizz weren’t bad enough, may hair has had some coloring woes. Stylist #1 made it slightly too dark, and it kind of grew out patchy. In response to this, Stylist #2 over-corrected and now the roots are too light and the rest basically unchanged. I am thinking of going somewhere for corrective coloring, but that might cost a bit more than I prepared to pay. I first have to see what the salon is willing to offer me—but is that dumb? Why go back to the person who butchered it for a rebutchering, even if said rebutchering is free?

Humidity is always a big problem for me, too. I’ve found that my hair is much less frizzy if I use an intense moisterizing shampoo. Have you tried the Dove shampoos and conditioners? That’s the brand I use. They’re inexpensive and they significantly reduce frizziness (in my hair, at least).

I wish I knew more about hair coloring so that I could give you some advice on that. This article says that when possible, its best to go back to the stylist who made the error (because he/she will know what he/she did and how to correct it). It also says that color correction can take several visits.

Good luck, lorene! My e-mail addy’s in my profile if you feel like trading hair horror stories.
