RobinG`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll Kind of off target but related to change in hormones ~ I know hair loss is normal after pregnancy, had it with my other two but this time around my hair is a mess, it is still falling out or breaking really bad after 5 months and it is SO dry and no matter how much conditioner or mouse I use it is all static. I cant stand it anymore. I opted to start taking prenatals again to see if the vits help some but I also need to buy shampoo and conditioner that will help best. Although I am a big fan of the salon brands I cant afford them right now so want to buy the best store products I can get or stay under $4-$5 a bottle. So for all the stylists here what products do you think will help best for dry, brittle hair? I bought pantex cause one stylist said it is the best from regular stores.

I like to use cheap shampoo and an expensive conditioner. Maybe that will help your budget. Since this is a hormonal issue, your dr may know something that will help. Maybe one of those leave in things like creams or hot oils will help too.

i cut my hair and it looks so much healthier! conditioner that has proteins are good for your hair, try vive pro, i think thats the name. check the ingredients. use shampoo thats creamy, not clear and get a good creamy leave in conditioner. i just bought herbal escense hello hydration shampoo and the conditioner and i reallylike it, its bright blue bottles.

i have really long, dry straight hair- and better than a lot of salon products is Garnier Fructis long and strong. They also have a hair masque conditioner and it really helps with dead ends and staticky hair. I also splurge and use `BioSilk` for smoothing my hair too, which depending on the size, is about 10 bucks but it lasts a long time.

do not use pantene, it made my hair fall out and i`ve heard the same from other people.i use suave i know its cheap but it works.i also like herbel essence.

You may also consider taking the vitamin `biotin`. It is for hair and nails. At Target I bought a bottle of 100 for $.99 ~ everywhere else they are quite expensive. Not sure why. I heard about this vitamin on the news by a doctor that comes on weekly. Good luck.

I use Tresseme `Anti-Breakage` shampoo and the same kind of conditioner...works great. Walmart $3-4 per bottle.

I`m such a dork, I meant to say Pantene, not pantex on the poll ~ thats what happens when you have 3 kids and one is an infant, lol. Brain freeze, lol ~ I meant Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner ~ TX!

im not a hairstylist, but I am around a lot of beauty sylists. my best friend used to be a hair dresser and my sister owns a spa/salon and they suggested I use a leave in conditioner 3 times a week. I also would rather spend my money on other things so I dont buy name brand all the time. I have been using a Pantene leave in mask and I have to tell you, my hair looks and feels smoother, shinier, and I have less split ends. I don`t know if thats just b/c I am pregnant, but since Ive been using it for the past 3 months, I have definitely seen a difference and its not expensive, maybe around $4-5.

  1. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  2. When did do you pack your hospital bag?

  5. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  6. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  7. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  8. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  9. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  10. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
