    Is cholesteral good for all hair types? I was under the impression it was for black hair only.

    I'm white but my hair is so thick and curly I often use products designed for black hair anyway, so it doesn't matter much but i am curious.

    It's just a super dense/moisture rich soothing/conditioning/mask treatment ... if your hair is super dry, needs a really good rehydrate ... it's def good.

    I've been using olive oil spray - just a touch - on my hair forever and that is generally in the same section .... really like it.

    Yrs ago, I went to an exclusive hair product store, I asked the owner (a former beautician) what's good for dry-ass damaged hair, he put a tube of Wella Cholesteral in my hand, also another long term beautician told me the same thing. This store, literally is floor-to-ceiling hair prods, many are hard to find, expensive etc. So that says a lot about it too.
    However, I like Queen Helene best, I've tried all the other brands, & beats the pricier shit.

    Also: I do use coconut oil, I put a little on before & after the Chloesteral. A few reviewers said they like Chlosteral better than argan.
    Good to know. I'm doing dry oil in my hair but I'll resume cholesterol when I can pick up some...

    Coconut oil is def not just a fad, I mean it's popular right now but it actually penetrates th hair cuticle in ways other oils cannot and it's good for blond hair whereas darker oils can tinge them brassy. I just did a 20 hour coconut oil hair soak and my blond hair looks lighter and clearer already, and angel ass soft. Coconut oil is a miracle for hair bleaching.
    BUT I did find out that for super coarse hair With too much protein treatments already , it can make it very brittle because it keeps it from losing protein. Just about the only downside though.

    I have been using castor oil lately as a hair treatment cuz I heard it makes your hair grow, but I do find my highlights a bit brassy and wonder if it's the castor oil..

    Well castor oil is thick to wash it off is not so easy-right? If you apply it all over length you have to shampoo your hair 2 or 3 times, which will over dry them. that oil is only for roots and sense that oil is thick you need to leave it for a long time 6 hours and more and if you can use some heat will be better or wear a shower cap and towel.
    Over hair you can put almond oil mixed with peppermint. You will see how amazing hair will be, soft and hydrated.

    I don't have a problem getting the castor oil out, I just shampoo and condition after and it comes right out. I leave it in at least 10 hours when I use it. I like experimenting with different oils. Coconut oil, olive oil...have not tried almond and peppermint oil yet

    Dont use too much of peppermint like drop or 2 in a spoon of olive/almond oil and apply over hair leave for as long as possible. Dont soak the hair but apply oil to make them look kind of slightly wet. You can apply from The root to end, verrry good for ends.

    But together with almond they just do some magic no less.

    Used my Luna 2 with sweet almond oil in my hot shower tonight. Followed by Origins serum and night cream. My skin is so happy.

Maybe I'll get a forehead zit once every 8 months, that's it. Yet where do I break out? In my jaw area which is not oily at all. Also, normally when I breakout the pimples always leave scars even though I don't pick them or pop them. I had a forehead zit recently that I actually did pop, and there is no scar what-so-ever, I can't even tell where the pimple was. I think all my forehead oil prevents scarring or something. I've started rubbing vitamin e oil into the drier sides of my face so my whole face can be oily lol.

    I was already doing chemical exfoliation using lactic acid and glycolic acid (once a month), plus doing weekly physical exfoliation using products with beads in them. But this device seriously took my skin to the next level of soft. I notice a huge difference in texture already. I'm waiting to see if it will break me out (i have sensitive skin - the clarisonic gave me one of the worst breakouts of my life). But so far, i love this thing. I'll be resting my cheek on my arm and notice how crazy-soft my face feels, when previously, i definitely never felt that way. And the results last..it's not like my skin just feels softer for a couple of hours after my shower. I'll notice it the next morning, the next day.. Love it so far.

    The only other change I've made to my skincare this month was upgrading my night cream from clinique's face lotion to Origins night-a-mins plus one of their serums. But the Foreo Luna is definitely the major reason for the texture difference in my skin.

    I love Neutrogena pore refining cleanser and ultra wrinkle repair. They both work great together. Also started using Ponds b3 cream for dark spots. Makes skin super soft. I'll let you know if my dark spots caused by zits fade.

    Anyone have a recommendation for an ointment/cream/wash to get rid of issues caused by sweat being trapped under a sports bra? The red spots don't itch or anything...they're just there. They fade when I'm cool and dry and become more obvious when i work out. A doctor told me to put Selsun Blue on them - the selenium in it helps, but doesn't get rid of them entirely..

    Try weleda diaper cream. https://www.amazon.com/Weleda-Calend...h%2Bcream&th=1
    this cream has a zink, calendula and etc. helps with everything I apply it everywhere.
    I use it for itchiness on my calves, pimples, hemorrhoids even and etc.

    News you can use- I feel great after starting to take B 12 gummie supplements. I realize I have vitamin deficiency issues from living in a region with long winters. I have been taking gummie multivitamins too. This has helped me so much in the past year.

    Just eating better has helped with my appearance a lot. It's cheaper to eat right than it is to buy La Mer skin cream.

    Update on the rosemary and almond oil scalp massage... I haven't noticed much of a difference but my hair smells fantastic and is definitely shinier. I'm trying to be patient and I'm putting off doing my roots as long as I can. On a different note I'm doing a juice fast next week and I can't wait to see how I look and feel. I used to drink tons of green smoothies and had glowing skin and so much energy.

    I had something similar, it was more scaly patches than spots as such but it must have been a fungal sweat reaction rash thing because I found a tea tree cream that helped. I can't remember exactly which product (possibly Weleda).

    My randoms: I'm really glad I've gone back to using Aveda shampoo and conditioner, it's the best for my hair. I was getting frustrated with the state of my hair and realised that even though the other stuff I'd been using was high end (Ojon) it wasn't good for me. For months my hair hasn't felt properly clean and the conditioner seemed to coat my hair with a thin layer of oils but underneath it was dehydrated. It's gone back to being more soft and bouncy after just a couple of washes with Aveda.


    Also, I am really restless about wanting to have consultations for several procedures so I can weigh up options, but I don't want to go until I have saved up enough in case I get the urge to book it straight after the consultation.

    I used Elasticizer by Philip Kingsley, I love it. It's a pre shampoo treatment he developed for Audrey Hepburn. I got it off Ebay, PK has a site but he's in the UK, you can check if there's a place in the US (or other) that carries it.
    I also love Ken Paves You are Beautiful relaxing balm, it took out the waves in my hair (no heat either)

    I slathered tea tree oil on the spots for a couple of nights after my showers, and that seemed to do the trick!
