She did an amazing job on my highlights and cut. I plan to use her when I return from Canada. I really appreciate that you let us all know. I think it's important that we exchange names of people we feel are worth recommending. Maybe this winter I'll get up the courage to get a tattoo.

I have always had weak, splitting nails. I used to have acryllic nails but gave them up when Mom and I built our home in TV! Last year, I stopped at the booth that sells nail files at LSL's Vendor Night. She recommended their nail files and Nailtiques. I bought Nailtiques at CVS for around $9. My nails got stronger but they still split. I started using Perfect Formula about two weeks ago and I can already see a difference in my nails. I'm using the Strong Nail Strengthening Therapy, the pink gel, and the Strong Nail Daily Moisturizer. I got my kit on QVC but I looked and you can get Perfect Formula at PF's website and on Amazon. I think Ulta sells it too. It is a little pricey! Don't put it on too thick or it peels off! I do think the crystal nail files also helped.

BUT, one question .. Do you still need to remove Perfect Formula with nail polish remover? Because I think remover damaged my nails more than any type of nail growth solution helped.

Yes. I bought one that said it strengthened your nails. So far, it seems okay.

Have you tried olive oil on your nails. I use it often and keeps my cuticles, and nails from splitting

Setting aside illness, part of the brittle/peeling nail problem is menopause, part is heredity and part is environmental.
I use olive oil too- all over myself- or apricot, walnut, avocado…. I buy those at GNC or health food stores. Less expensive than lotions or creams and no chemicals. Particularly good applied after a shower- it soaks right in. Menopause lessens our ability to retain water- so we have to remember to keep hydrated- that affects our nails too, although we may not realize it. Many cleaning products, detergents, shampoos, shower gels, have harsher chemicals in them than we may know. They can affect your nail beds. I have long steered away from ingredients such as Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Laurel Sulfate/ Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Do your legs itch the day after shaving? Does your scalp itch? It may well be the product…. there is very little true dandruff- it is more a reaction to what is put on the scalp. Acetone polish remover is often a culprit- fast working, but too harsh for those with delicate nails. Follow that with an alcohol spray (which many salons do) or a soak in detergent water and you have stripped the mantle of your nail. I wish they would use witch hazel. I do my own mani/pedi. I use ONLY non-acetone polish remover and regular polish- not gel. Non-acetone takes a little longer to remove regular polish, but is much safer. I wash it off with olive oil based soap and follow with witch hazel before re-polishing. As some may know, i had my own salon for many years. That's how I had my manicurists do it. If the nails are compromised, a good product to seal them while they grow is Duri Rejuvacote. We carried it in the salon- it is available online. |

Does anyone know if there is a salon in the area that sells Sebastian hair products. I use Sebastian Volupt shampoo and cream rinse, as well as their Volupt volume building spray before blow drying. I sometimes use Sebastian Mousse Forte and one of their hairsprays called Shaper.
Yes. That's a lot of product. But the sizes are reasonable so they last a long time. Even though the products do have salon prices, I find them to be a bit less expensive than some other salon lines. Sebastian, I am pretty sure, is a part of Wella which is a part of Procter and Gamble. But not every Wella salon carries Sebastian in their product line. Sebastian works better for me than anything else I have found when trying to get extra volume. I can schlep the stuff from back home but it would be nice to find it here. PS: (In case anybody is wondering) Yes. My hair still moves. That is another reason I really like these products. Last edited by Laurie2; 08-21-2014 at 08:06 AM. Reason: Added PS |

Tattoo ink poisoning Americans - NaturalNews.com I knew that some tattoos would cause problems if you needed an MRI, but I didn't know about the ink migrating to your lymph nodes.

Stay away from olive oil? Oh my gosh, Why?
It is a natural antioxidant. In addition, the vitamin E (olive oil has it!) can also absorb the energy from ultraviolet (UV) light. Thus, it plays important roles in photoprotection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin. I use a water soluble form of Olive oil to cleanse my face. Exclusively. I have used a refined virgin olive oil as my face moisturizer- twice a day- exclusively for over 8 years. I regularly apply my cosmetics (eye makeup, etc.) over the moisturizer- no problem-o. My skin still looks pretty darn good, being the old Bat that I am. I buy these products online at DHC. I have mentioned that source here in previous posts. These products have no odor. I use regular olive oil (the food grade) for the rest of my body- and often use other seed or nut oils as an alternative. They are natural- have no preservatives and very much agree with my skin. Used appropriately, I am not an oily mess. Nor are my clothes, towels or sheets. Shea butter for feet? Better put socks on afterward or you will leave footprints everywhere in your house- I found that the REAL stuff is lumpy, greasy, does NOT penetrate and has a distinctive odor that is, to me, musty. I found it more trouble than it was worth- and the pure stuff is not inexpensive. Embalming fluid for Nails? Back when I was a teenager, there was a liquid, brush on product sold for nails that did indeed contain formaldehyde. Embalming fluid. That was some scary stuff, in my opinion. Pickled nails may be hard, but can't be healthy. If you had some cracks or splits in your cuticle, that liquid penetrated into your body. With repeated use the surface skin of the cuticle died. |
