RE: Laid Hair Products for Women
Yesterday 8:48 PM
Day 3:
Did NOT go as planned!
Had to go out earlier than expected, with no time to shower/wash hair (ugh!) so was unable to do my next plan (same as Day 1, except blow-dry instead of natural dry). So, there I was stuck with my same shampoo+mask+multi-purpose spray hair from the day before, and worse yet, had to sit again out in public helping to sell tickets.
So, not knowing what to do (without resorting to having to wear a hat!) I just spritzed on a fair amount (possibly too much!) of the multi-purpose spray, combed it through and hoped it would be okay.
It never quite dried the entire day, it felt a little limp/lank, maybe from having used the mask the day before? I asked my co-ticket-sellers from time to time throughout the day if my hair looked okay, and they said it was fine. I had no mirror so I couldn't tell, except the one time I went to use the bathroom in the store, it actually didn't look too terrible (it just felt kind of dampish all day and I felt a little self-conscious about it).
Phero effects: I felt quite silly all day, as i had the previous days. The others around me were a little silly too, we had fun, and interacted well with our potential (and actual) ticket buyers coming in and out of the store. I noticed that I sold way more tickets on Day 2 (shampoo+mask+spray) than on Day 3 (NO hair wash, but added spray).
Day 4:
Used the shampoo+conditioner+multi-purpose spray as directed, but this time I blow-dried it. Because my hair is very fine, it dried pretty quickly, and when it was almost dry I flipped my head down and did it from underneath to help give it a little body.
(Oh, and I was able to get the shampoo out of the bottle by tapping it against my hand, but the conditioner would NOT come out and I had to stick my pinky in there a few times til enough came out. I left the bottle in the shower upside-down so that hopefully tomorrow it will have settled to the "top" and it will be easier)
My hair looked great and felt great! No weird waves, though as with Day 1, it felt a little "lighter" and didn't quite have the body I was used to getting with the sea kelp gel, but the blow-drying at least had helped with the volume.
I used to always blow-dry my hair, but because it's so fine, it became really damaged, and so I had to stop and let the damage grow out. I also threw away my hair brushes and began using only wide-toothed combs, to also help minimize damage and speed repair.
But I do love how this combination of products works when I blow dry it. Though I'm a little scared to start getting back into the blow-drying habit again too regularly because of what happened before. Though before, I also didn't regularly use "heat protection" products so that may have contributed to the damage as well.
Pheromone-wise, my social interactions were pretty much limited to walking down to our local breakfast place to have coffee with some friends, where I also happened to run into a local doctor, which was perfect because I smashed my left arm pretty badly a few days ago and needed advice (no health insurance).
Although I was pretty tired and didn't feel too well due to the long ticket-selling weekend and not sleeping well because of my arm, I was actually in a pretty good mood. I joined the doctor at his table, where he was very helpful and we ended up talking about all sorts of things. I then joined my other friends, who were very kind and solicitous (because of my arm). One even said that he would love to come over and "baby me", lol.
The bank was uneventful, but at the post office where I had to stand in line for a package, a kinda-cute guy who I vaguely know from the supermarket (he works there), kept giving me shy, sweet smiles as we stood in line, something he had never done before. Interesting!
Conclusions thus far:
I really like the products in every way, especially when I used the shampoo+conditioner+spray and blow-dried as I did today.
The mask might be too heavy for my particular hair, but I'll give it another try in a few days (and possibly blow-dry if i dare). I think I might also use a little less of it, maybe that'll help.
Questions:
1. How can I use this particular combination of products to best effect with the least damage to my hair?
2. Does the multi-purpose spray give enough heat protection for my fine hair so that I can blow-dry regularly without fear of damage?
3. Would the Fill Me Up texture spray be helpful with increasing body and volume without being to heavy (sometimes my hair will look stringy, greasy and/or flat if product is too heavy)? Or maybe just use less product?
